Listen do you want to try writing the book or amputating a limb with the civil war bone saw? It's going to feel about the same.

just caught up on news alerts for the day, threw my laptop into a river, ran wildly through the moors to never be seen again

one thing I respect about medieval beekeepers is their total commitment to looking like Doctor Who villains

I am juggling more wips than a clown could keep airborne, have all the patience of an incensed alleycat, all the chill of a foraging squirrel in late autumn, and am more possessive of my books than a stressed out dog is over the last available chew toy. There was only one option for my books tbqh

Summarize your WIP with a single gif 👀

Still holding out for that Star Trek future.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

How’s your mental health?

In BETTER news the new adhd med means I’ll hopefully be back to reading & writing!! I crave productivity

Took my new ADHD med after picking it up today at 1pm. Only now, nearing midnight, am I realizing my mistake. It lasts for 12 hours. Goodbye sleep 🤭

Writers: gen ai is theft Artists: gen ai is theft Narrators: gen ai is theft Environmentalists: gen ai is killing the planet Scientists: gen ai is killing the planet Tech bros: BUT MAKE BRAIN WORK MUCH HARD NEED MACHINE FOR BIG THOUGHT

no literally 😭😭😭

I want to try my hand at writing short stories soon to see if I can train my brain out of the “oops all epics” mode it seems to be stuck in #writingcommunity

I think the hardest part of being a writer are the days where it feels like you’re shouting into a void and no one can hear or see you and you’re books are being overlooked despite your efforts. So if you’re having one of those days, I see you. Hang in there. Don’t give up. 💪💖

i love you indie bookstores, thank you for existing indie bookstores

Touching grass is not enough I need to get stuck in a hollow log

Somebody stop me from running a dnd campaign in my fantasy world rn I thought of such a good story for it but I need to WRITE THE BOOKS

Sorry all my writing energy has been consumed by a ridiculous amount of hours devoted to Dragon Age Veilguard (yes I’m off my adhd meds what of it?!)

It’s happening!!! Only got up a little early today but I got a good 455 words in 💪🏼 #writingcommunity #writersky

I know they say not to edit as you write. But does going back to add two new opening chapters count? 🫣 #writersky #writingcommunity

“Cursed nerd. I must hunt you for sport.” has immediately been downloaded into my vocal stim catalogue

Back home in my den of iniquity so I can play with my blorbos again. This is bliss

Picked this lovely up on Saturday! It was one of my two 5 star reads last year so I figured I need a copy of my own to reread before I get to Oathbound 🤭 #booksky

Honestly I didn’t think anything would be more annoying than NFTs but along comes generative ai and it went ‘hold my stolen, planet killing beer’ and then proceeded to be somehow more annoying, more pointless and even less interesting. Quite a feat to be that obnoxious t b q h

My partner is no longer WFH so I’m up an hour earlier in the morning… wondering if I’ll be able to capitalize on this as writing time 🤔

First they came for….

I’m not sure if I really have interests. I just have a revolving cycle of current obsessions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Passed 5k words in my WIP ☺️ I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues so I’ve focused less on word count, but still exciting to be passing milestones!

Is this a good time to request more bsky buddies?? Looking to follow more fellow readers, writers (especially fantasy & indie authors!), ttrpg & dnd nerds,,,,, and people who love Dark Souls? #booksky #writersky (is #nerdsky a thing??)

Nothing like a daily prompt challenge to remind me that I have no clue what day it is

#FantasyIndiesMarch late Day 4: Val does not believe in fate or destiny, on principle of its inherent cruelty. She does believe in luck, however she believes she doesn’t have much if any of it. #writersky #writingcommunity

My last #FantasyIndiesMarch catch up! Day 3: My WIP explores lies told by large institutions as well as the lies you tell about (and to) yourself. Thrust into the hidden paranormal world under a fake name, Val must decide how many believed lies it takes before reality is fiction. #writersky
