hey, my story took third place in a writing competition on @writersblockds.bsky.social shared third, so it kinda feels like fourth. joy is sharing the place with a bit of disappointment. still, proud of the piece and grateful it resonated with readers. #jupelwrites #WritingContest #AmWriting

Six days left until our August Competition ends--the theme is "Resistance." The challenge is to write a short story in 1000 words or under. It's friendly--the winner gets bragging rights and chooses the next theme! If you're up for it, come join us below! #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky

Hey #booksky! What are you all currently reading? 👀 What do you rate it (so far)? Would you recommend it to a friend (it's me, I'm the friend)? 😌

I…am feeling a little attacked. I don’t do moodboards, making playlists would just distract me from writing, I’m a total packrat and never scrap anything completely, and I have too many words in my head for the other two. The rest….😳🤣😳🤣😳🤣 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Well, this was a fun one! I don't really make moodboards or playlists for any particular reason, and I never really feel guilt for not writing because I don't take it *too* seriously. 🤔 Definitely had projects I started to hate though, and considered quitting more than one. #writingcommunity

Hey #writingcommunity! We hosted a 'Writer's Block Bingo Card' on the Discord recently, now we're sharing it with you! How many of these can you tick off? 😱 What are your general thoughts/feelings toward blocks and burnout? #amwriting #writesky

It’s been a week since we wrapped up #FFYW, so let’s take a moment to reflect! ⭐What was your original goal, and how did it go? ⭐What did you learn about yourself or your writing during this challenge? ⭐How do you feel about your project now? ⭐What are your next steps moving forward?

Happy final day of #FFYW, everyone! Depending on your timezone, you may still be cranking some last words out (I know I am!), so good luck! Thank you all for joining us, whether you participated in the Discord or here on Bluesky. We'll see you in the coming days for reflection! #writingcommunity

Day 30. Final day of the #FFYW challenge. First, I wasn't chosen for jury duty. YAY! (Same court where R Kelly was on trial. 😬) I still have several chapters to go on the WIP. Today, I made sure I had all of my 6 key #horror novel scenes as per an article by @savannahgilbo.bsky.social #amwriting

Happy last day of #FFYW!! Thank you to my friend @jdcadmon.bsky.social for sharing this group/event with me. It got me out of a writing slump and hopefully I can continue on & finish this draft! This month I wrote & edited a total of 41,090 words! Looking forward to the next event:) #writing

We are turning NINE on Discord this year, and to celebrate, we'll be hosting nine days of writing games, fun craft chats, book giveaways, and much more. 🤭 If you want to join our birthday party, you can find us at discord.gg/writingcommunity! #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #writesky

The end of #FFYW is creeping closer, folks! How has your month looked so far? Are you on track to reach your goal by midnight on Monday? 👀 #writingcommunity #amwriting

Day 26 #FFYW The MC has been in denial about her new home. Supernatural things have been happening on the property, & she finally gets the courage to ask the groundskeeper about the history of the house and grounds her husband inherited. #amwriting #writingcommunity #bvm

We are on the home stretch, #FFYW! Tell us what's happening in your project *right now*? Is your MC in the middle of a disaster? Is your antagonist stirring up trouble? 👀 #amwriting #writingcommunity

We’ve passed the halfway point, #FFYW, so lets see how you’re getting along! To recap, what is your goal? How close are you to reaching it? Have you adjusted it at any point, and if so, why? 👀 #amwriting #writingcommunity P.S. It's not too late to join in. Check out our pinned post for more info!

Day 16. #FFYW Today was a better writing day. Still dreary. Still raining. I worked through chapter 19. Draft 1 is now 60k words. There's so much more to do. 😫 #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity #bvm

So #FFYW, have to go with a few lines of dialogue: "What's that word meaning you're a mindless dumbarse with no idea what's going on?" "Naïve. German I, with the two tittles." "Titty-eyes, whatever. Oh well, you won't be the last one bowled out by that trick." (Yes I know it's called an umlaut)

I've finished 3,885 words over the last two days since I've got some things to tend to over the weekend, though I might squeeze in some mobile typing in my free moments. If you're going to protests this weekend, stay safe and smart. Look out for each other. #FFYW

Hey #FFYW! We think it's time to see some lines, so quote repost this with your favorite passage written during FFYW (so far)! 🥳 P.S. You got this! Look after yourself, stay safe, and keep writing! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

Late to the party #FFYW (bad habit, I know) Finished a 3 page interlude chapter and started on the next, but going to cut the few paragraphs of driving into a suburb down to keep it quick Hit my ADHD limit and did something else, happy with that #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AmWriting (glacially)

We have passed the 1/3 mark for Fight For Your Write, everyone! Great work so far! How are you feeling about your project(s) today? How are you staying motivated? #FFYW #writingcommunity #amwriting

Day 10. #FFYW #WritingCommunity Have you read a novel to get inspiration, then return to writing your WIP and think 🤬 I suck? I read Sky Full of Elephants. Thought "Damn this dude must be a poet." (He is). "My writing is crap." Then I gave myself a break. It's just a first draft. 🤷🏾‍♀️🙃 #amwriting

Another #FFYW update after a week+ of writing and falling short. 80 minutes was my total for the week, far from the 5 hours I'd set as my goal, yet I'm feeling better than ever! I learned that timers are the most helpful tool for me and I'm not afraid of my outlines anymore, determined for more ✍️💪

We are now four days into the #FFYW challenge so let's check-in! How are you doing? Are you finding your goal easier or harder than expected? Goals can be tough even when you choose them yourself—just showing up is half the battle, so great work so far! Keep going! 🥳 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Alright #WritingCommunity, time to lock in and get those planning words for chapter two for #FFYW

I uh... wrote 9k total today? I'm not sure how... but my hands hurt... and my head hurts... rewarding myself with tacos tonight. Unfortunately the 9k wasn't on either main project, but that's okay. My #FFYW goal is to hit 30k this month and I'm basically 1/3 of the way there now so... 🤣 #amwriting

Last night, I revamped the opening chapters of my novel, structured it a bit more cleanly while showcasing some of the key technologies in the setting, augmented reality, generative AI, and the Internet of Things all thoroughly creeping into our lives, which is clearly sci-fi. 🤣 But onwards. #FFYW

We are NOT off to a good start. I didn't get any words today for #FFYW, simply too distracted with rl/some other shenanigans I had to get done today, and on top of that I don't feel great. Why do this be my luck? 😭 Anyway, I'll try again tomorrow! #amwriting #ornot

Day 2. Started on draft 2 of the WIP. I went back to Chapter One. I'm pretty satisfied with it. I also started filling out a beat sheet for Act 1 to make sure I stay on track. #FFYW #amwriting #horror #writingcommunity #bvm

Anyway, I've finished my outline and research, so I'm into the writing phase now. The weekend was doing its level best to keep from putting fingers to keyboard, but I entered my first 356 words, which above my minimum daily word count, but I've got to do better to meet the Open deadline. #FFYW

Yay! So happy to have you joining us, Gerrie! Good luck with your second draft! 💪🥳

Not a huge win for me today (I never write much on the weekends), so only about 400 words. Still, I'll take it! My goal is to write 30k this month but I'm not feeling bad about being behind already. Plenty of time to catch up. 🥳 #amwriting #FFYW

There's less than an hour until midnight ET, which means day one of #FFYW is nearly over. What did you achieve today? How are you feeling? Are you ready for the week ahead? 👀💪 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky

Happy 1st day of #FFYW. I have 2 projects I want to work on. I suppose my main goal is to try to write daily. Get some words down. Maybe finish one of them. I’ll use this post for my daily updates. Good luck to all who are participating! Happy June🌞 #amwriting #monthlychallenge

Just ONE more day before Fight For Your Write begins, #writingcommunity! Who's going to be participating with us? We have some fun plans for #FFYW on Bluesky, and more events planned for the future, so do follow along! We're confident you'll have a great time. 🤩 #amwriting #writesky #booksky
