that time I was writing something and I re-read it and thought "this sounds way too smart. I can't have possibly written this" and indeed I was quoting the Bhagavad Gita out of pure muscle memory

submitting short stories again because i am ready to get hurt again

It really drives me up the wall that there is no clear way to gauge what "good writing" is

#BluePitHype Will loves cooking! So much that if someone were to criticize his choice of spices, he would rethink his entire existence and remake the dish until they declared it PERFECT. But if he had to master one skill, it would be building things so he could help out his girlfriend (a mechanic)

I've swallowed a lot of things in my time. The most dangerous? Ideas. Left on the vine, they have a lot to teach about their ecosystem, through the niche they fill in it. It's festering in the belly that makes them burn bilious. A little grappa glass of curiosity is actually the perfect digestivo.

#BluePitHype Here are the STUNNING character sheets for Aliza and Viktor! Main characters of my science-fantasy + romance novel ACROSS ASHEN MOUNTAINS Art by Marta Hurtado ✨(www.artstation.com/marta_hurtado) Support human artists <3

It’s Day 2 of #BluePitHype! Today is Art Share day! Share your character art, concept art, sketches, and/or mood boards! 4 days left until #BluePit on July 9th! (No AI images) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmQuerying #GameDev #Comics #TTRPG

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions I wanted to explore characters across time and worlds. No one is the same person they were ten years before, but there must be some core---some sense of self---that remains, regardless of what we become and what different worlds may force us to be.

Relationship Advice Needed: My (28M) ex-girlfriend (? F) went missing years ago. I've just discovered she became a Goddess who is now in charge of my fate. #UnhingedPit #A #F #R

I can't believe I'm writing this because I never thought I would write this I got my first acceptance!

I love that special flavor of anxiety that comes with submitting things

nothing like Manuscript Wish List and QuestPit to make me think "damn, I should really finish my book"

My Agent's Guide to THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER, a young adult high fantasy featuring: 💜 • Ace protagonist 💫 • Mages challenging the gods 🗡️ • Assassination at the highest level 👑 • Complicated interwoven noble families 🪞 • A narrator very aware of her unreliability #YouDeservepIt #Q #YA #F

My MC, who has only lived in a rural/medieval town, when she gets thrown into another kingdom and sees (and hears!) a gramophone for the first time.

1980. Spain. A priest and a psychiatrist work together to separate mind from demon. But as the need for exorcisms rises beyond their control, they must travel across the country and investigate whether something darker than sin is at play... #YouDeservepIt #A #WIP #H #F

A war brings two former lovers back together but on opposite sides. Forced to face their past and each other, can the soldier and the strategist return from the choices that made them lose themselves? 💫 Enemies to Lovers 💫 Second-Chance Romance 💫 Politics 💫 Tzarpunk #YouDeservepIt #A #WIP #R #F

Manifested it

Am I annoying... for talking about my own book... on my own account... at a pitch event?

My TL having a conversation about when a story truly starts and what grabs an editor's attention while I'm literally writing the first chapter of my new MS is not anxiety-inducing at all, no, no no. Absolutely not. /s

In BCS #422: "Furious Communion" @rkduncan.bsky.social "The absence of my lord from me, from my bed, is like a chill of deepest winter that will not leave me. It is wrong to be without him, when I should be swelling with new life as all of nature is." www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/furi...

Submitting all the stories I wrote during 2024 during the first week of 2025 because if I'm going to get punched in the face, I'd prefer it if all the punches arrived at roughly the same time.

I continue to be shocked by magazines and writers that continue to use generative AI. Even if you think it looks good (it doesn’t), or you’ve convinced yourself it’s ethical and non-exploitative (it isn’t), the environmental cost is so ridiculously high it should be a non-starter.

"Concealment Failures" by Mir Rainbird offers a damning, unflinching portrayal of violation, victimisation, and corrosive shame. Please note the CWs inner-worlds.ghost.io/inner-worlds... #SciFi #ScienceFiction #Horror #ShortStory

It so happens to be that I've forgotten to log in to this account for most of 2024. But it's 2025 now so, uh, yeah. Back by unpopular demand: me

A heartbroken hero, their beloved companion, a necromancer, a fortune... 'A King's Ransom' by Rachel Searcey transports us to a world where magic can conquer death. But at what cost? sarah-i-jackson.ghost.io/inner-worlds... #Fantasy #SFF #SpeculativeFiction

'The Memory' by @dreadunderarm.bsky.social is an extraordinary, powerful piece of writing which explores personal and family identity in the face of history and braided legacies of oppression and resistance. sarah-i-jackson.ghost.io/inner-worlds... #ShortStory #ShortFiction #SpeculativeFiction
