Happy New Year, Blue Sky! Last year, I wrote 60,000 words in The Cloudspire Archives and compiled my world bible from over 10 years of notes. I feel renewed! It’s far from done, but the foundation is strong! Here’s to another year of building worlds and crafting stories. What are your 2025 #goals?

Good morning Bluesky, I hope everyone had a relaxing, yet productive week. Here’s a short story prompt for some inspiration: Write a short story about a character who helps a lost item, animal, or child find its way home. I hope your day goes well.

I had these exact neon colored floppy disks when I was a teenager. Found one at the thrift store and they let me have it for free lol. What do you think is on it? #retrotech #floppydisk #mystery

Been writing my YA horror, “Dear Diary,” while watching #Buffy for inspiration. #Willow was such a great character. We see significant depth and development for her over the series. Seeing a relatable, powerful & queer character on 90s TV was also incredible. Do you have a favorite queer character?

Good morning Bluesky, Take a look at this amazing planet! Its hexagonal ice cap makes my imagination run wild. As a child, I was obsessed with Saturn. I dreamed of being an astronaut until I realized how dangerous space is and how accident-prone I am. What did you want to be when you “grew up”?

Good Morning Bluesky, Today I’m celebrating waking up to 500 followers. Thank you for actively making this community better. Let’s all create something special today.

My two favorite apps are both butterflies. 🦋🦋 Good night, Bluesky. #UlyssesApp #Goodnight #Amwriting #WritingCommunity #WritersOfBluesky #CreativeWriting #WritingLife #AuthorsOfBluesky #WritingTools #WriterTalk

⏳Art Rewind⏰ I’m excited to share my art here on Bluesky! An illustration from 2021. A fire mage and their interdimensional cat friend! 🔥🐈‍⬛ If you were a mage what would your elemental power be? #Procreate #ArtRewind #FireMage #InterdimensionalCat #FantasyArt #DigitalArt #ArtCommunity

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

Here is a nice mushroom

We are all but little clouds in this Bluesky ☁️ I’m VV Graves, a quiet archivist between two worlds. Prisma & Earth intersect in ways few understand. Bound by whispers, I appear only when fate demands—to warn of a future where magic fades & shadows stir. #WritersOfBluesky #YA #Fantasy #Horror 📖✨

While wiping the hard drive of an old computer, Kelly uncovers something... strange. Secrets, lies, and a dead girl’s digital diary that won’t let go. Can a computer virus really make you see things? Do things? Make you disappear? 📖💻 #DearDiaryImDead #WorkInProgress #90sMystery #horror #YA

I’m searching for other YA authors, agents, editors, publishers, and readers to connect with. I’m currently working on a Victorian inspired YA science-fantasy and a late 90’s YA horror. #writingcommunity #ya #yahorror #yafantasy #amwriting #sf #sciencefantasy #booksky

#DearDiaryImDead is a #LGBT #YA #horror novel set in 1998. Kelly, college student & aspiring journalist, is assigned to cover the “Gamer Girls Club”. She learns Melody is missing & others are hiding dark secrets as she starts to experience the terror. Think The Ring meets Clueless on Livejournal.

Good morning, Bluesky! I hope everyone has a productive yet gentle week. This Monday, I’m focusing on writing a short story inspired by this Harriet Selina quote. What’s inspiring you to create this week? #VVGraves #AmWriting #CreativeCommunity #MondayMotivation #WritingInspiration

Hope everyone’s having a pleasant evening, day, or morning, wherever you are on Earth. I’m grateful for a social platform that feels positive and constructive. What’s everyone reading tonight? I’m reading “Angel Mage” by Garth Nix #BookCommunity #WhatAreYouReading #ReadersOfBluesky #BookLovers

"Prisma’s near side, locked facing Pallor, is a frozen wasteland of violet ice, where shadow creatures thrive in the darkness. On the far side, three distant stars cast an eternal light, a stark contrast to the endless night." #Prisma #MoonsOfPallor #YAFantasy #booksky #Amwriting #FantasyWriting
