Certainly took a more vibe-tastic route with this one instead of hitting the nail on the head. From a WIP I haven't named about a woman named Synthia and the last year of her life living in a seaside, farming town. Big SDV vibes. ✨ #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting

WordPress is updating (because, for whatever reason, they're adding an AI assistant) and I know my website will be totally fine... But that's a part of my brain that is just in dread mode while I can't access anything. 😭 So if you can't access TNBL, that's why. It'll be back soon!

There’s something so fascinating to me about the idea of a sentient game-master AI quietly optimizing human emotions without fully understanding humanity itself. Yes, I've been spiraling about DNR again. 🎮 tinyurl.com/555uh3r6 #IndieAuthor #BlackAuthor #WomanAuthor #BookSky #WriteSky #AuthorSky

Sometimes, I just have to remind myself that my chapters don't have to be five-thousand words long. It's okay.

Some timelines die with a whimper. 🥀 Lexe believes hers might be next. Her last hope? The werewolf bookstore owner. 🐺 In a timeline ruled by calculation, Asteria might be the only thing the Machine didn’t account for. 🤖 Read The Machine here: thenightboundlibrary.com/the-chronicl... #BookSky

What do mega-prisons, a werewolf bookstore owner, and cyber-tech have in common? Nothing in this timeline. But in Lexe’s? They collide inside The Machine—a flash fiction soft-dystopian bloodsport set in a prison arena. 🤖 thenightboundlibrary.com/the-chronicl... #WriterShareWednesday #AmWriting

A wonderful piece on the importance and the pleasures of the fantasy genre. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

"You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise." - Maya Angelou #ImageAndVerse

Dystopian stakes. Sharp banter. Blood-red moons. In Lexe’s timeline, hope is measured in percentages. Right now, it’s sitting at 0.0002%. Welcome to The Machine. 🤖 thenightboundlibrary.com/the-chronicl... ✨ #IndieAuthor #BlackAuthor #WomanAuthor #BookSky #WriteSky #AuthorSky #AmWriting

For Evie, an all-expenses-paid trip to Anguilla means sun, surf, and margaritas. Not the fraternal twins her parents once fostered—or their scorching looks and lingering touches. #bluepit📖 #W #R #H #LGBTQIA+ #POC #NA #IndieAuthor #WomanAuthor #BlackAuthor #Booksky #AuthorSky #WritingCommunity

I'm relatively new to this, but what I always tell myself is: Do the thing even if it's scary. And when you fail, do it again. And then again. Failure is the best teacher, and fear should never hold you back from following your dreams. #bluepithype #bluepit #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers
