I fear the new shiny idea factor has now worn off and first drafting is now hell. Who could have ever foreseen this?

One chapter into The Book Of The Moment and I've already decided I can't do this, and I should stop now to save me this tragedy. (I won't stop. It's so over for me)

Messed around and accidentally wrote 16,000 words of an adult romance novel about two musicians, one famous, one failed, who reconnect in secret (and totally don't fall back in love) 🤪 I write SFF. I don't know how I got here. #writersky #writingcommunity #revpitwaiting

I fear there will only be one answer to this question for me, forever and ever. #revpitwaiting

GODLIGHT BY NOAH KAHAN. that's all.

After working on WIPs where I know the characters like the back of my hand for years, trying to start a new WIP now feels like shaking my OCs for hours, begging them to tell me who they are. WHO ARE YOU?? DEVELOP A PERSONALITY!! CEASE BEING CARDBOARD!! #writersky #writing #WIP #readersky

Stop what you’re doing and read this short story now! It’s the exact message of perseverance and hope we need right now and it’s beautiful. I read it tonight after seeing “From Ground Zero”, a collection of 22 short films from Palestinian filmmakers in Gaza. Go see/hear these important voices!

If I see a Sunrise on the Reaping spoiler on my timeline (looking at you, Americans), it will be considered a declaration of war. Be warned.

hey #revpitwaiting folks! i'm a chronically ill writer who can't stay in one lane to save my life, so i have many WIPs of all sorts. sci-fi is the main jam right now though! i'm a stage manager, a massive dog lover, and i've never been normal about a piece of media in my entire life 🤪

I just rewatched The Karate Kid for the first time in a while and all I can say is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE SO MUCH

No cheating post the last photo of your pet

How does one find new mutuals in this place? I was never very good at it in The Bad Place, but there's no time but the present to learn, right? #writersky #booksky #disabledsky #writingcommunity #readersky

My ducks aren’t in a row, they’re just stood on top of each other and wearing a trench coat

#RevPit submission complete!

they don't tell you this but 90% of writing is just googling a word you've used a million times before to make sure a) it means what you think it means and b) whether or not it has a hyphen in it

had a neck x-ray today and when I was asked to tip my head back the tech went "oho hello elhers danlos syndrome" in unrelated news, any horror movies and/or medical shows needing a creepy, weird or broken neck shot, i'm payable by the hour so hit me up

Reminder that I don't argue with fascists here, I block them. I also block people who whine that I won't listen to the fascists. Who gets to determine when someone is acting like a fascist and/or fascist book licker? Why, I do. If you don't like it, try not being a fascist and/or a boot licker.

Tell me you're chronically ill without telling me you're chronically ill: I nearly cried because I just got a cancellation appointment with neurology for tomorrow morning after having debilitating migraines for four months straight 😭

if you can’t handle me at my ~making travel plans for a concert that doesn’t exist yet~ you don’t deserve me at my ~acting normal~

Today, my tiktok comment went viral for reminding cane users everywhere that Kaz Brekker is badass with his cane. So if you're a cane user in need of a reminder: you and the bastard of the barrel have more in common than you think #sixofcrows

I still have five episodes left of Cobra Kai Season Six and I am !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the small artists I listen to on repeat see me adding their songs to my oddly specific WIP playlists and question my motives 💀 #writing #writingcommunity

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.

Making real progress on my #RevPit submission prep today and starting to get excited !!!! (also, imposter syndrome do be imposter syndroming, but i will not self reject this time 🫡)

Dragons Dragons Dragons!!! This sounds fun!

I have sooooo many books lined up on my immediately-will-buy-when-i-have-spare-income list. Online bookstores better fear me. I'm coming.

The devastating realisation that in order to submit to #RevPit I have to work on my first pages, my query AND my synopsis. Shocking, unprecedented, and unacceptable.

good emails to get: -you have been accepted to free money program -darling, i am madly in love with you (from hot person) -we would like to publish your book/produce your film/build your cathedral bad emails to get: -all others

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Commit the sin of empathy.

Please Donate if you can and help a Black SFF author out #blacksky #blackbooksky #booksky

not cool: being housebound due to chronic illness cool: getting a headstart on my reading goal for the year because reading is all I can manage at the moment 💅 (I've also had all 4+ star reads so far!!) #readersky #reading #chronicillness

How do I communicate to agents that my YA found family sci-fi is if the song Determinate from Lemonade Mouth had a baby with a sitcom? #writingcommunity
