Not me putting in four holds at the library and hoping they don't all come in at the same time. (They will.) 😅 #booksky💙📚 #library

Man, I love cosmic horror, but I don't do well with gore. And sometimes people put those together. 😭 Any cosmic horror recs that aren't super gory??? #scifi🪐📚 #booksky💙📚 #cosmichorror #horrorbooks

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

I am learning to use macros in Word! These macros will help me do things like remove unnecessary punctuation, correct misspellings, look up information, and check the dictionary! No AI involved; just simple keyboard commands to do a task and help save my poor hands from carpal tunnel while editing.📝

In the fantasy duology I'm working on, my magic system is very physical. It works almost like an additional limb on a subconscious level. #booksky💙📚 #fantasy❤️🧙‍♂️⚔️ #magicsystems #amwriting

It's weird how many formatting errors I'm seeing in ebooks these days. Is no one, you know, checking their work? I've seen extra spaces between words, random page justification problems, missing quotations, and even forgotten indents during paragraph changes. #ebooks #formatting #editing📝

January's reading wrap-up from #StoryGraph! I read some awesome books last month! Funny that my average time to finish a book is way off because of a nonfiction book I started months ago and finally picked back up. I'd say my average time is really more like three days. #booksky💙📚

I finished Naomi Novik's Uprooted last night. I LOVED it, devouring it in less than a day. New favorite book. #fantasy ❤️🧙‍♂️⚔️

Babydoll Southdown sheep 🐑 For those who just need a smile today…😍

I keep seeing posts about writers finding out their editors are using AI to "edit" their work and that is such a breach of trust. Once more, with feeling, I DO NOT USE AI. I don't use it it my ad copy. I don't use it in my own writing. I don't use it for business copy. I don't use it. Period.📝

I love exploring caves in Minecraft. But I'm terrified of the dark. The Deep Dark is the worst but I love it too??? Frightened but having fun...

Because I live very, very far away from my local library now, my best friend took the time to renew her library card just for me. I have read more than 40 books in the last year with that access, and I am SO grateful. Support your libraries however you can! #library #booksky💙📚

I recently finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time" series and if you're writing✏️ something similar or in the same vein, I would be the most enthusiastic editor📝 you could find. I adored those books; 5⭐ from me. I need to work on a book like that! #booksky💙📚 #scifi 🪐📚 #spaceopera #editor

I promise you, once you free yourself from the notion that other writers are your competition and start viewing them as your fellow weirdos who share similar special interests as you, your life in publishing will become so much easier.

This is our baby Nova. She's just over a year old and has officially been indoors longer than she was on the streets! She's very cute. She's a gremlin. And she enjoys playing peekaboo.🐱🐈‍⬛️🌟 #cat #kitten #adoptdontshop

My 5⭐ reads from 2024! A fair few of these were rereads as I go through books to analyze, but about half of them were totally new to me. #BookSky📚💙 #reading

And a Happy New Year 2025! May this year bring more hope, more resilience, and more stories. 📚🌻 This year's imperative statement: Finish what you started. I've got a certification to complete, a website overhaul to oversee, and a manuscript with my name on it. #newyear #goals #writing
