We're already in a cyber dystopia. Using an app, I got 6 ads in 3 searches, was given nothing useable, and then got the notification that if I wanted to use the app's actual features, I needed to pay. They made money off wasting my time and giving me nothing. This is how tech works now.

A lot of people seem to understand that ignoring trolls makes them go away faster, but it doesn't click that ignoring friendly people/loved ones makes them go away, too? Especially online, but sometimes in person, we forget to simply acknowledge that we heard someone. That's devastating.

Finally, the spreadsheet/databased of trans and enby books featuring trans and enby characters is updated 💜 A new featured book has been selected too for the week. I also added a link to another project by a group in the community helping out indie authors: transenbybooks.carrd.co

I have always wanted to write a story from the perspective of a wholly inhuman fae creature and now that I've done it once I might not be able to stop. #writingcommunity

Sometimes you have to put blinders on and just focus on writing or creating today. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Make Something. Create Something. Act in defiance of the world around you, and things stopping you. - Wrtr #amwriting #author #writer #Writing ~ #authorsky

Bout to do what I've seen so many authors say they did and ask a friend to lemme come write in their spare room a few times a week so I can get some peace of mind. #writingcommunity

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity I don't use the word 'whim' apparently! But here's two derivatives smushed super close together in chapter one... Steph done effed up.

At this point I am going to have to accept that I can feel the winter storm coming two days hence. It is not in my head. Also, I have decided that I am going to do a buncha housekeeping and/or goofing off stuff today instead of writing, because I can write from bed sick. #writingcommunity

#WIPSnips Feb 15th - Heart! This in a section of the draft I haven't reworked yet. I look forward to seeing if this part survives, because Damien is being sassy. #shadowvisage #disabledauthor

I want to start writing again, and would like writing prompts to get myself back into writing mode. Does anyone have suggestions on where I could find some flash fiction prompts or prompts in general? I’m sure that Reddit has them, but where specifically should I look? #writingcommunity #writers

So excited that I got an honorable mention in the 2025 Cannon Publishing High Caliber Awards for my story WE ARE NOT GODS. An immortal must contend with her power and the ever-present temptation of tyranny. If the world won't do better, why shouldn't she force it? #writingcommunity

#writingtip if you have something you're excited to do later I'm the day, set an achievable goal (time worked, word count) and tell yourself if you don't meet it you can't do the fun thing. Better yet, tell your friends that so you're accountable! Homework before play, after all. #writing

Writing Tip: The world will constantly be trying to distract you while you're writing, and learning to tune it out for a little bit can be hard. Silence that ringtone. Remove social media pings. Try to be contactable (for real-life emergencies) but not distractible. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

Gods bless haircutting tutorials on youtube. That was so much easter--and less expensive--than I feared. Side note, I'm finding this strange new passion blooming for grooming dogs and cutting hair in general and this is highly unexpected.

Also, remember: The authoritarians among us want us to feel doom. They want us to feel cynical. Divided. Hopeless. Rejection of all of the above is in and of itself an anti-authoritarian tool. Reject doom and, above all, find strength in the communities & connections we have, both online & off.

Indivisible and MoveOn are doing really great things, including connecting people who are scared and angry with their elected representatives so that can ask important questions and express their opinions. Engaging with people we represent is important and good and we welcome it.

#writingcommunity Hoping for some stories about projects that fought coming together so hard. I'm in the middle of a "trust the process crisis" and my brain is not too full of trust right now! What stories are you wrestling down like an angry croc?
