Writing is HARD. Why did no one tell me this

Please, please help Soad and omar with a bit of money to help her get a room, not a tent. @mommunism.bsky.social

A simple but important way to support Palestinian writers is to read their work. A helpful list is in the link below but please do explore @arablit.bsky.social more widely as well as publishers like @commapress.bsky.social

This summer and September have so far been science/fiction flavoured 🌝 *note only one of these has been read to completion because I am an appallingly slow reader

The Israeli army has now officially ordered more than 900,000 Palestinians in Gaza City to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip

I've sold my soul to short stories. Sure, there are some ideas I have that are committed to being novella/novel length, but short stories have ensnared me heart and soul

What I'm realizing through writing long-form is I'll always return to shorts as well. Long is a commitment, but shorts is where I get to experiment more liberally, re-discovering my writing and voice with each tale.

Another one in the @innerworlds.bsky.social gang! Read this beautifully melancholic tale by Safiya with a hot cup of tea 🌊

P.s. I had a short story published a few months ago if you want to have a read ☺️🫶🏻 inner-worlds.ghost.io/deliver-safi...

I rather like this poster I got today

My cat is beginning to snuggle next to me more which means summer is officially over

the problem is that I have one wild and precious life and I want to write every book, read every book, play every video game, kiss every cat, take every nap, visit every country, but I am very broke and very sleepy 😔

If you see this, post a monster

Gave a copy of my book to my friend a while ago, her husband is currently reading it and apparently I've inspired him to write his own book 🥹

They also have ties to Israel and are probably the main cause of the delays to implementing the Occupied Territories Bill.

Buy my booooook it has strange planets and female protagonists and emotions (And no romance) And if you've already read it remember to leave a review 😇

Soad in Gaza has had her bluesky account closed again. She's really scared she's going to lose her son Omar. He's getting weaker and thinner and keeps falling over. Can you help with some ££ for vitamins and food? It would mean a lot. www.gofundme.com/f/providing-... #FreePalestine

If there ever was a kick up the backside to finish that WIP, it's this

You might not think of it this way, but I view using chatgpt to generate correspondence as a sign of disrespect for both parties. Respect yourself by searching for words even if it is a struggle. Respect us by showing that we are worth writing what you want to say yourself.

If anyone agrees check my sci fi novella out! www.lunapresspublishing.com/product-page...

11. Arrival is the perfect movie.

6. We need more sci fi novellas.

1. We need brighter science fiction covers.
