An ancient prophecy. A madman's ambition. A girl with a secret. A failed Chosen One and a cursed pirate. A chance to make things right. ...or much worse. LINKS: www.books2read.com/ghostprincess also: m-walshwrites.itch.io/the-ghost-pr... #BookSky 📚💙 #ReaderSky #IndieBooks #Fantasy ⚔️

Don't mind me, just gonna ~hype~ for a moment... As I get ready to for #BludeyeBeach to be published early 2026, I thought I'd officially share the opening line. ❤️ #writingcommunity #writesky

That forest illustration at the top left gives me some ideas for a couple characters who are stargazing... Go support @nushdeco.bsky.social if you can! 😍

It's official; BLUDEYE BEACH will be released early 2026 😄 This book is incredibly near and dear to me, and this all feels so surreal! Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey ❤️ (Graphic is not the actual cover; that will get its own reveal 😘) #writingcommunity #hqpress #writesky

If parents could check if their student actually did the work before telling me that they did the work that they didn't do…

Yesterday was rough, but at the end of the day, my kiddo crawled into bed to read with me, and while we were reading, he quietly put his hand over mine, and it was one of those small, simple moments I wish I could bottle up and relive, over and over, for the rest of my life. Silver lining. ♥️

Great news, everyone! Hook & Quill Press is launching today as an indie publishing company, supporting and supported by the writing community (and one octopus). We have plenty of exciting announcements for your feed today, but here's a quick teaser... #writesky #writingcommunity #quillbert4ever

Wait...gasp!! What has Quillbert found? Is he finally at the end of his big book-related quest...? Could it be...???? #writingcommunity #writesky #quillbert4ever #hookandquillpress

Naught for me, but I'll always share for these lovely folks! Thanks for hosting, @sagetgreene.bsky.social! This was a lot of fun. ♥️ #WritingCommunity #Novmemeber

It's the weekend at last! Time to finally edit my book! 📖 Or, you know, begin to write and illustrate a brand new children’s story inspired by my friends instead... 🐦‍⬛🦌🦉🦫🐇🦊 #squishyfriends

🎂🎉it birthday weekend🎉🎂 SO. All I want is the following: 1. Go to my curated art purchases feed: Khonmissions! 2. Find a piece you like.* 3. Go to the original post, tell the artist why you like it. 🔁❤️ *If you don't like my blorbos, go be nice to another artist this weekend. Really. That's it.

Today, I'm thankful for the friends I've made here. The #WritingCommunity in general and the #WIPSnips community, specifically, without whom, I would not have met those incredible friends. They are talented (*so* talented, multitalented, all the talents), kind, inspiring, kinda hot, more adjectives…

Forgive me for the sentimentality, but this Thanksgiving, I’m so grateful for this writing community that’s welcomed me in. You’ve given me joy, wonder, hope, and friendship during a tumultuous time in my life. Thank you. ❤️ Here’s a poem I love. No machine can dig this way. So let’s keep digging.

Sits down with fresh, steaming cup of coffee. *Sigh.* ☺️☕ Spills steaming cup of coffee. ArghhSIIIIGHH

Brand new sketch! 😁 My friends and I were joking about what animals we'd be if we had the choice, and it resulted in this. Presenting... Almost Home.

The thing I love most about writing is when you don't know what's going to come out of your fingertips next, or exactly where you're going, and you write a line that's *close,* but not quite there. And then the inspiration hits, and you make a small adjustment, and it's just 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

Hello, friends! We came across this fellow, and don't quite know what to make of him. He calls himself Quillbert, and says that he's on a crucial mission to investigate some exciting book news. I'm not entirely sure where he's from, but this news does sound exciting... #writing #writingcommunity

'Bout right. No further comment. 😅 #Novmemeber

Listen to the third and final part of our award-winning* podcast series which is stuffed with really** useful*** advice! You'll hear that @kirkrafferty.com does not write THE END when he completes his manuscripts which... what a heathen. *I may have awarded us this award **debatable ***debunkable

My partner & I are currently trying to claw our way out of a debt hole that keeps getting bigger, and to be honest I don't know how we're going to get out. Any shares or sales appreciated, as my income as an author has helped me pay my minimum cc payment the last year books2read.com/u/boB9YL

Hmm. How about... #Novmemeber

I don't even have a working title 😅 #Novmemeber

A year ago, I stumbled across this cool #WIPSnips tag and figured it might be fun. Never imagined I'd find so many incredible, talented people too. Thankful for the #WritingCommunity here. Y'all keep me inspired and motivated daily. ♥️

Calling all nature enthusiasts! Open concept, rugged mountain appeal with breathtaking views (no, rly, hold your breath). No, that’s not popcorn ceiling, it's nuclear fallou—ahem. Commune with wildlife in your own backyard! Don't mind the—*shoos away three-eyed possum*—Look, a bird! #Novmemeber

Student today gave their speech on the history of motorcycles, & I had to pretend I wasn't psyched. There were pictures. Pretty pictures. 🏍️ I took notes. 100 percent, A+ 👏😅 (Although one slide said the road conditions were poor "in the late 1900s" & the next slide said "In the modern era...") 🫠

Made this a family affair! (If you're going to get bad from me, you're at least getting cute from my kids.) 😅 The prompt: Draw a bad-guy cowboy in 60 seconds. (Mine, husband's, 7YO’s, 5YO’s) Thrilled by the 5YO’s flowers, tbh. #Novmemeber

Wondering how tf I hurt my knee this morning when all I did was get dressed and curl my hair... *Thinks about it.* Ohhh, I jumped to get into my jeans. 😅😅 Aging is fun, y'all. Very cool, very fun. 🫠

We need to fundamentally restructure the educational system if we're going to combat AI. Unfortunately, education doesn't have a great track record of quickly pivoting to address societal concerns. #teaching

Sharing this stunning piece I had commissioned from @professoremily.bsky.social for my little post-apoc kiddos! Thank you so much, Emily!! You’re the best! Featuring: Micah, Lennie, and the one-and-only Shrimp. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Switching it up with THREE truths & a lie 😈 1. I have a small piece of the Titanic. 🚢 2. I collect antique books, and the oldest I own is from the 1860s. 📚 3. I'm learning to ride a motorcycle. Vroom vroom. 🏍️ 4. I started writing two years ago as a SAHM in need of a creative outlet. 🤱 #Novmemeber

@sagetgreene.bsky.social said "no cheating" for today's # Novmemeber, which I was planning to do, so I'll share this disassociated from the tag. 😅 Sneak peek of art I'm commissioning from @professoremily.bsky.social. 😍❤️ #WritingCommunity

November 8 #WIPsnips – “little” Sometimes it’s size, and sometimes it’s perspective. Jenny and Gregory are discussing Shelley’s “Mont Blanc,” but is that really all they’re talking about? As he likes to tell his students, “There’s no text without subtext.” A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”

You know, I’m 46, studying writing at University, something tech bros tell me has no future, but I’ve never felt more sure that I wanted to create fiction in my whole life.
