@bsky.app Marianne Scott author asks guest bloggers, why do writers write? Guest blogger for January 2025 is Geoff Marriott. mariannescottauthor.com/blog/january...

Really???? 34 felony counts but no consequences. AND he still qualifies to be President of the United States????

Regardless of Trump’s tariffs and threats, Canada has sent firefighters and water bombers to California to help fight the devastating wildfires. Canadians would never abandon our American friends when you need help. It a basic Canadian value. It’s who we are.

🇨🇦 Canada says thanks for the offer but… #Notasnowballschanceinhell Sorry, but that’s a hard NO. Marianne Scott, author and proud Canadian

I’m confused. A certain high profile US politician has been convicted of 34 felony counts AND the US judicial system is conflicted about sentencing him. Instead, on Jan 20 they will make him president. How crazy is that?

@cbc-news.bsky.social Will pensioners get the $250 cheque or working Canadians only? Please confirm eligibility.

November 21 - Canadians are awaiting a Govm't announcement = 2 month GST tax suspension on essentials. Thank you BUT food should never be taxed. @notaxonfood

Book # 3 of the Draker Series Thriller is a prequel - how it all started. Marianne Scott, Author

Appalling behaviour today in Canada’s House of Parliament. Conservative Andrew Scheer shows contempt for the House and all Canadians by use of unparliamentary language even after Speaker asks him to withdraw such language. I call shame on the entire Conservative Party.

@bsky.app When politicians use the term 'common sense' it's code for policies that benefit their own interests. Beware! Be cautious.

Book one of the Draker series thrillers. “It all started with the fire…” MarianneScottauthor.com

The draft of a novel is like graffiti, a jumbled pile of words bouncing around in your head making no sense. Yet, you type on recording the raw messy thoughts bringing a story to conclusion. Then the real work begins - first of many edits. mariannescottauthor.com/books-us mariannescottauthor.com

Indeed. I remind myself every day that drafts are are beautiful stories waiting to take shape. @mariannescott.bsky.social , writer/author

I may have overdone it.

Hi 👋 I’m an Indie Author with two published books. My WIP is De Ja Vu part two. I enjoy singing 🎶 , dancing💃🏻, racket ball and yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ You can find me on Amazon at the link below. 👇🏻 www.amazon.com/stores/Kathe... 💙📚

Will post this year's pics later. Cheers.

I'm a Canadian writer/author, with an opinion on what's going on in the world. And, it's not particularly good. Follows are very appreciated.

It doesn't feel like the festive season yet. So I'm putting up my outdoor Christmas decorations. Sorry, last year's pics.

Yikes! Not one of these MEN have a clue of the struggles of low income issues. They campaigned on the issue but their primary focus is always profit. IMO, the economic conditions for most will decline even more.

It’s not a broligarchy, it’s the devolution of democracy due to inequality. When 1% of the population has more wealth than the other 99%, there is always a significant reaction, albeit a misguided one in this case. We can wager that they will act in their own bro-interests. I’m crying for the US.

Washington Freak Show Cast Update-will the last normal person leaving X please turn the lights off. This is MADA-Making America Deranged Again.🤪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m blessed. Thanks.

Trying not to be political, but this is funny. 😂

Yum, me too.My leftovers can wait.

The proudest grandma EVER. Gosh, I love these handsome young men.

How do you get the many followers? Impressed.

👍 Good to know. Thanks for the info. The Beaver Moon is a super moon.

Whoa, back to you. Thanks for the mention I’ll follow you and anyone who shouts out my novels. You are the coolest- Ever! Thanks

Tip…It’s not polite to name call. But, clearly some people need to be told.

One more question, please. Can we hashtag our name/handle? #Mariannescottauthor

I love a full moon night. But… a beaver moon? Not sure what beavers have to do with the celestial orb. But very cool, nonetheless.

Question? Do we use hashtags here to reach users with like interests?

Hello @bsky.app writers and authors. I’m one of you, recently migrated from that “other platform”. I have 4 published mystery/thriller novels & working on #5. Feels good to be here. How do you connect with readers?

Day 3 on @bsky.app and have 425 followers. Thank you. Still catching up to the “other” platform but 🤞 It’s a nice place and I’m happy here.

I had 60,000 followers on Twitter after 14 years on the site. I have 30,000 after maybe a year here. If journalists are looking for a place to build back up a coherent reading audience that’s actually engaging with our work, this place obviously seems like it has that particular juice

For all the gardening people on @bsky.app , here’s a pic of my garden this summer. Just a bit about my interests. Although, winter isn’t far off. Having fun learning how to use this platform.

200 new followers just in one day. But worth the work. BTW, sorry about the typo. 😜

Good question. Writers/authors who have over time built a sizeable following on “the other”, are probably waiting to bring their audience to @bsky.app . That’s my strategy- then I will exit the X platform. The latter is no longer a nice place to be. Nice connecting wit you.

For the doggo lovers on @bsky.app , this is my grand dog . Yep, she’s an important part of our family.

I’m enjoying the respectful interaction here on @bsky.app where users have a voice and can speak freely without fear of retribution.

I don’t want to be an alarmist, but the political changes happening in the US, are worrisome. I’m Canadian and we’ve had some difficult interactions with a “certain” US political figure. 🤞we get along and work towards our mutual interests and prosperity. Please and thank you.

Photo from 2023. Is it too early to put up Christmas decorations and lights ? November 14. Seems early. Just asking.
