So my short story wasn’t accepted, but I’m still happy! Even just trying has made me feel more legitimate. Going to create a folder in my emails and collect these rejections! #writersky

Listening to Low Roars final album released last week. What a beautiful piece of posthumous work, must be such a sad and touching time for the band. Definitely worth a listen. #music #lowroar

I have been entirely addicted to the first Citizen Sleeper this week. Any one got any book recommendations that hit a similar vibe? Not enjoyed a game this much in a long time! #booksky #gamesky #scifi

The Memory of Trees finishes! ⭐️⭐️.25 What started as a very interesting plot about a tree restoration creating supernatural events dwindled out very fast for me. Some of the worst written women I’ve read in a while, almost every single one talking about wanting to screw the MC non stop #booksky

Short story writers, how long do you give your story to 'settle' before you start submitting it for anthologies etc? I am preparing to make my first submission and resisting the urge to just submit straight away, figure its good to re read after some time to get 'fresh' eyes? #Writing #writesky

Puppy cuddles and a book - what better way to start a Monday! Small spoilers for ‘The Memory of Trees’ if you zoom on the text. #booksky #dogsofbluesky

Busy weekend with the dog, missed this yesterday! "The leak persisted, growing stronger and wilder, a drip becoming a torrent, already filling the floor of the cellar and congealing with the straw and excrement and the stench of the misery of the place." 6/20 #Booksky #Writing #Writesky

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line from your book: “The man lent against the trunk of the tree, near collapsing as he slid down onto the floor.” #writesky #writing

Sometimes it’s so hard deciding between reading or writing or gaming that I’ll spend the night in decision paralysis and achieve absolutely nothing 🙃 #booksky #writesky #adhd

Writers, you might be struggling rn. Math might help. No, seriously. If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year. If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year. Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

There is a stiff competition between my search history when running D&D and my search history when writing horror for the title of “reason I’m going to end up arrested” 📚🩸 #D&D #writesky #horror #horrorwriting

There is a certain relief when reading a new book and almost immediately vibing with it, especially just after finishing one that was a chore to get through! 📚💙 #booksky

Think I'm gonna try and start collecting rejection slips this year alongside writing my novel - get some short stories on the go as well! #writing #writesky

Heads up to the writing people here: if you are contacted by Lynn Painter this is a scam account trying to sell marketing/editing services. Confirmed with the author that she is not on Bluesky! #booksky #writesky #scam

House of a Hundred Whispers finished. That was a slog. ⭐️.25 I do not recommend. Full review (but still short) on StoryGraph #Booksky 📚💙
