What’s the opposite of doomscrolling, like when you just turned in your second draft to your publisher and you’re crawling Bluesky looking for people to cheer for? Tell me something you did (even little) or show me a pic of your pet or plant or whatever and I will cheer ✨ #writesky #positivevibes

Sitting in the waiting room at a surgical center and 2 people next to me strike up a convo. The man asks the woman across from us how old her husband is who just went back for surgery. “71,” she says. “Oh, he’s just a puppy,” the man says. “I’m 86.” 🩷🩷🩷 I love this. It’s all about perspective.

I am so happy for my friend @writingwithreed.bsky.social that I actually screamed. #writingcommunity #booksky

*whispers* *I'm opening to queries Monday*

The timing of this gives me the CHILLS!! This announcement went up yesterday, the day Ashley signed the contract (after looong months of negotiating), which was ALSO her birthday 🎂, which was ALSO a year to the very day since she queried me with this project 😱😱😱 @stormliterary.bsky.social

Some good news for the feed never hurt nobody

People who don't read romance novels because they're "predictable:" do you avoid biographies if you know the person died? When you order ice cream, are you mad when they bring you ice cream instead of mashed potatoes or loose screws in a waffle cone? 🤔 #romancelandia #thursdaythoughts #booksky

But seriously, this is your next vampire heartthrob book and if everyone on the internet doesn’t preorder this like yesterday we’re gonna have to have some words 😂

For #CritPit, make sure your moodboards, "a guide to," and other graphics have alt text! (I find it helpful to prep this ahead of time!) If you'd like an intro to what alt text is, how to add it on bsky, and how to write good alt text, I recommend this thread: bsky.app/profile/bhav...

This is me after I get my edit letter back and want to dive in, but also don’t want to stop the momentum on the next book, but I also have great ideas how to fix book one, but I’m in such a good spot on book two, but also… #writerslife #sapphicauthor #romancereads #sapphicbooks #writingcommunity
