Today's #wipsnips is a short one: "They didn’t care what I had to say. They just needed to make sure I wasn’t a liability." #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #sff

I’m not on here because I’m too busy watching Artemis II’s moon fly-by. See you on the other side.

You BETTER write the book you wanna read. Because you're gonna have to read is twenty seven THOUSAND TIMES.

As someone who does not have a tiktok, occasionally there will be drama that I see moving past my awareness like the shadow of a leviathan beneath the water, and whooo boy. Am I glad I don't have to deal with that thing.

Speaking of the singular they... #wipsnips #amwriting Maki gets help with her super secret plans.

It's a good day to go to the moon #artemisII #notaprilfools www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_U...

AITA for getting my friend kidnapped? I sent her to an asteroid mine to radicalize her against the mega corporation that raised and weaponized her (lol evil). It’s so she will help me destroy the alien monsters they use to enslave planets, which is good, right? Kidnapping justified? #chaospit #sf #a

It's cool to like other writers #chaospit posts, right? I'm remembering a rule from another event where likes were reserved for agents, and I don't want to accidentally step on toes here. I figure we're in it for the chaos, so likes are cool, right?

It’s like Pokémon, if the Pokémon was a kid you kidnapped and raised to love you and fight for you, and she thought you were the good guys. Except you’re an evil corporation--and that kid grew up and learned a new move: rage. (And also it’s nothing like Pokémon.) #chaospit #sf #a #querying

The singular "they" has been around longer than English has had codified grammar, so really, anyone who fumes about it can go fuck themself www.oed.com/discover/a-b...

IT’S TIME FOR #ChaosPit Join us for the third whacky April Fool’s Day event where you pitch your books as chaotically as possible, for funsies. Memes. AITA posts. Bad comps. Horrible elevator pitches. It’s all fair game. (I do not host this, just boosting as a mod for the discord that does.)

#WIPsnips That awkward moment when your squad shows up ready to throw down, and your opponent shows up already dead. Maki and her team find themselves at a loss. #writesky #sff #amwriting #writingcommunity

HEY WRITERS (not just SF/F writers) HAVE YOU BEEN PROCRASTINATING ON MAKING YOUR ANTHROPIC SETTLEMENT CLAIM? SFWA is running a webinar event OPEN TO ALL WRITERS (not just members! not just SF/F writers!) on Thursday. Sign up here: www.sfwa.org/events/anthr...

Okay, social media time is over. Back to writing. This character isn't going to torture himself. #writesky #amwriting

A rude awakening to gentle eyes #wipsnips #writingcommunity #writesky

I was in a writers group where one of the feedback options you could ask for was "thunderous applause", because some days that's what you really need. #Writingcommunity, who needs thunderous applause today? Share your writing wins! #amwriting

Definitely just typeoed the description of a character’s eyes as “derp brown”. Well then. #wholenewsentence #amwriting

Hey #writesky, I wanna know what you listen to when you’re writing. I love instrumentals and I’m always looking for new (human!!) artists to enjoy. 1/3

Yep. #writing #writer #creativewriting #writerlife

Tuesday: In Which I Trip Going Up the Stairs and Slowly Descend Into Madness #writesky #amwriting

This is the way.

Thinking about this one today. Sometimes I see a brief reflection of her, this version of me that lives in other people's heads, and I hardly recognize her. As disconcerting as it can be to be seen, it is even more startling when you see yourself so misinterpreted. (1/3)

Oh no it’s the consequences (having to transcribe 450 pages of handwritten manuscript) of my actions (hand writing my manuscript)

I am haunted by the version of me that lives in other people's heads

My MC is really in her own head a lot, so keeping the pacing from getting bogged down by introspection my major focus in this editing pass.

Exhausted to find out that people are now claiming authors who include an AI disclaimer in their work are secretly admitting to using AI unless they provide receipts and not, like, trying to ensure their work is copyrightable. #antiai #amwriting #writingcommunity #NoToAI #supportwriters

So chewy. Much character. Yum. #amwriting

It is National Appreciate A Dragon Day. Appreciate her.

My tea is hot, my pen is inked, it's time to write! #writing #writingcommunity #fountainpens

Hey y’all: if you use Libby and you hate them allowing generative AI content and incorporating it in other ways you can go to your profile, scroll down to “help and support”, and take a survey to tell them that you hate it

Time to make this character extra chewy and give her some Trauma TM #writing #writerslife

Periodic reminder.

Anyways, I'm trying out this new-to-me social media platform instead of writing this scene. I am fairly certain I am doing multiple things wrong right now. Any tips for new bluesky users?

I drew this one years ago but it never really stops being relevant. I often put my health first because it'll help me keep drawing in the long run but at the same time I always feel guilty because I'm not as "driven" as other people

Today's scene is a tough one to write--big emotional moments for a lot of the characters, their first up-close confrontation with The Bad Stuff in this book. In other, definitely unrelated news, my bathroom has been deep cleaned and the vacuum cleaner is looking mighty inviting.
