I'm writing today, and I've made an accidental spelling error as my finger randomly hit a key while the cursor was inside my paragraph. Behold my creepy "fingersnails". What's the weirdest word you've ever accidentally misspelled? #WriterSky #amwriting #writingcommunity

Fifteen years ago, Meranda Wolfe and her band, Octavius, took Seattle by storm. Now she’s back at Stormhaven, the sea captain’s mansion above the churning sea—haunted by ghosts, threats, and the man she’s never stopped loving. 🌊🔥💔 #GothicRomance #GothicNovel #AmWriting #BookSky #WriterSky #moodboard

I just rewatched The Late Show (1977), with Art Carney and Lily Tomlin. A deserving screenplay Oscar nominee alongside Annie Hall and Star Wars. I know the business is different but we need more studios to consider oddball-great casting in modest-sized movies made purely for a love of an ace script.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

For the more than 300 million people who visit our national parks each year, these natural and cultural sites inform our understanding of the past and shine light on the way ahead. www.npca.org/articles/704...

Why are gothic novels relevant today? Here's my take on why I'm writing one in 2025! hollymillward.com/2025/03/06/w... #WriterSky #BookSky #Writing #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Reading #GothicRomance #GothicNovel #ModernGothic

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

I had such an extreme reaction of rage reading this article. He Who Must Not Be Named is now the chairman of the Kennedy Center? Really? Of all the insane, awful news I'm getting caught up with, I don't know why this just sets me totally over the edge. My thoughts: hollymillward.com/2025/02/14/t...

The arts are a reflection of who we are as a people. What does it say when we let power-hungry leaders dictate which stories are “acceptable”? Art deserves to be bold, messy, brave, and unafraid. It deserves to be human. hollymillward.com/2025/02/14/t... #writersky #writing #writers #art #booksky

If you are in Texas, come out and join me next Saturday, Feb 22 at the capital. This is a rally to support public schools. They are under attack in Texas!

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

Mr Rogers and Sesame Street taught me love, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Star Trek taught me to dream of and aspire to help create a better and more diverse world. Star Wars and Tolkien taught me to fight for freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds and great evil.

I know the world is on fire, and I really hate that... but I'm going to tell you one thing that makes me ecstatic today.💕 I just wrote the last line in a rough draft for a book that WRECKS me. It might be the best I've ever written. DAMN. Don't give up #writing, folks. #WriterSky #writingcommunity

Some loves are written in the stars—blazing, brilliant, and bound to burn out. These are lovers divided by war, time, and the weight of their own choices. Of souls forever searching, forever colliding, only to be scattered again like constellations in the night. 💔✨ hollymillward.com/2025/02/02/s...
