Father Matthias in a state of bliss after some…not quite sanctified moments with Ruin ❤️ #summerofstories #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompt

What has helped me most are two things. 1) Reading books with an eye for craft and 2) Finding a writing community for inspiration, learning, and support. At risk of sounding repetitive 😅 I’ll shout out @florrienne.bsky.social again for being my buddy. #summerofstories #writesky #writingprompt

I love any excuse to share my wonderful character art from @croverfield.bsky.social. Bea and Miles have a non-date on the library floor. Mattie tries his best to read the breviary while Ruin tries to get him to do anything else. #bluepithype #writesky #writingcommunity

Bea entering the library with one goal: devastate her boss. #summerofstories #writesky #writingprompt #writingcommunity

Hi! I’m Frankie and I write different genres but always with romance. I’m querying a contemporary and revising a historical speculative. I started writing last year and a floodgate opened. Hype events are my favorite because I love seeing what everyone is working on! #bluepithype #writesky

I will never get rid of the em-dash in my writing. I tend to use it often, especially with one of my characters. It just suits the voice too well. She’s always deflecting and correcting herself. It lends a modern tone. So much so, I use it 1130 times. #summerofstories #writesky

I’m a pantser 👖 for like 90% of the time. I need to write my way to a plot and stakes. Usually my first act draft is domestic bliss and vibes until I figure it out. Thankfully it only takes about 6 chapters to do so! #summerofstories #writingprompt #writesky #writingcommunity

The most difficult part has been accepting my writing process. I’m more a pantser than I’d like, also a write to find the story person. I have to combat feelings of failure when I get to chapter 6 in a draft and realize how it could all be better. #summerofstories #writesky #writingprompt

My prose tends to shift based on the character pov/voice. One of my projects has a bunch of snappy sentences and too many em-dashes. And another is more sprawling and pastoral. I love finding the right balance for a new character POV. #summerofstories #writingprompts #writingcommunity

#summerofstories #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity I don’t have epic moments like fights or mass disaster. At least not yet! But here’s a snippet from the first chapter of a WIP. A retelling of the Korean Shim-Cheong folktale. (Content warning: drowning)

#summerofstories Writing has done so much more for me than just give me a hobby. It’s given me both an escape from the real world, and an outlet for all it throws at me. Not to mention the amazing community I’ve found from writing.

#summerofstories I actually love a blank page and writing opening lines. Though they are the lines I tweak the most. I try and start with an image or action that captures a character. Since I’m a glutton, I’m sharing opening lines from two projects. #writingprompt #writingcommunity
