Inktober Day 1 "Mustache"! For mustache I always think of Errol Flynn :). #Inktober #inktober2025 #art

Hurrah! I have just finished the first draft of a new book on DeviantArt, which despite its name is a site for all artists to share images, make sales, and get feedback. Does anyone use DeviantArt? I'd love to follow you! Let me know if you'd like a PDF copy! #art #artist #author #WritingCommunity

Woo hoo! All of the books in my Scottish Enchantment time travel series now have fully updated covers! Plus I did a full editing pass of all the books. This series is set! Happy :). I hope you have a great Sunday! #writing #author #WritingCommunity

Next up! I'm redoing the covers on my regency time travel romance series. The main character falls into a well and slides into an alternate version of her reality. I'm switching from my existing guy-girl cover style ... Here's what I've designed so far! Thoughts? #writing #author #WritingCommunity

Here's the progression my Aquarian Awakenings cover has gone through over the past 10+ years. Cover styles change! lisashea.com/lisabase/blo... #writing #writer #author #authorlife

Success! I completed a full editing pass on all four books of my Collective Saga, and updated the box set. I updated all the covers to this new style and loaded them all on Amazon and other platforms. The entire series is now complete! Woo hoo! :) #writing #Writingcommunity #author #authorlife

An enormous project! I'm updating my romance covers to a new style which features larger, clearer titles. First up, my four-part SciFi series in the style of Star Trek - The Next Generation. I really enjoyed writing this series! Here's the new cover. #writing #author #WritingCommunity

So proud of Worcester - a huge crowd is gathering to peacefully protest on No Kings Day. However you choose to protest, make your voice heard! Every voice matters! Photo by Bob Evans. #Worcester #Worcesterma #Massachusetts #nokingsday

I am strongly against AI in writing. I also happen to write and publish quickly. It's amazing how many #authors will attack fellow writers simply for doing that. In 2013 I finalized my new medieval romance series. I published these on Dec 3 4 5 to drive holiday sales. #Writingcommunity #booksky

Many stressful things are happening in our world. Consider journaling. You could journal about your feelings. About gratitude for what you have. About hopes for the future. My ebook is FREE & on nearly all platforms. Just search "Lisa Shea Journaling" #journaling #journals #writingcommunity

I've created a 100-page blank journal featuring, as the cover, my grandmother's #watercolor #painting of a Brazilian fisherman. I love being able to write notes in a #book which celebrates her artistry. If you'd like to learn how to create journals featuring your own #art links are in the comments!

I'm updating my book on Twitter / X. Does anybody use Twitter / X any more? If so, what draws you to this site compared with the other options like Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, and so on? #socialmedia #socialnetworking #amwriting #Writingcommunity #book #booksky

Pinterest is now training AI on all images in their library unless you specifically opt out. I've had my book covers in Pinterest since it began. I didn't realize I had to opt out; all of my work is now being used to train AI without my permission. futurism.com/pinterest-da... #amwriting #booksky

The BVAA had two art receptions in two weeks and next Thursday is our art poetry reception! These are renewing my creative energies :). Time to get back into my weekly Lovecraft project. Next up - Celephais! Do any of you read Lovecraft? #booksky #authorcommunity #amwriting #Writingcommunity

Indeed, a job search site, now is showing me nearly 100% jobs to train AI or program AI. This is based on my skills as a writer, editor, and programmer. So the main thing Indeed wants me to do is to train AI to further erase all my job opportunities. #Writingcommunity #booksky #ai

Amazon's publishing system has main-dashboard-page notice pushing authors to use AI to instantly create audiobooks. This will eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of narrators. AI was built by listening in on all of those existing audiobooks without compensation to narrators #Writingcommunity

This is my REAL account. I also have @lisashea.bsky.social because that's how I had set things up in Twitter - one just for my author news and one for my general life news and politics and such. I wanted to make sure to have both here on Bluesky so my Twitter friends could follow me either way.

At last! My Dagon Twisted version is now FREE on all major platforms. It's a retelling if Lovecraft's classic short story. Enjoy! Link in comments. I designed the cover. #book #freebook #horror #shortstory

I've got five short stories so far in my Twisted Lovecraft series. In these I freshly write each classic tale, usually with a female lead. Only 99 cents each! I need to get on with my project to read each Lovecraft story in order. Have any of you read his works? www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMZFD33G #horror

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Important Bulletin: Download Your Kindle Books While You Still Can! If you're an avid e-book reader or someone who has an extensive library of Kindle content, now is the time to back up your books. Amazon is killing the option to save e-books to your computer. lifehacker.com/entertainmen...

I keep trying to work on my latest sweetly romantic medieval novel but politics are so awful that I apparently can't write sweet right now. Maybe I should give up and work on something dark instead... #amwriting #booksky

Someone on Bluesky just accused me of writing my content with ChatGPT because I write so quickly. I've been writing this quickly all my life - DECADES before ChatGPT ever existed. Anyone can go back through my blog & social media posts to see me post my novellas & short stories as I write. #booksky

I have a bunch of ACX narrations to listen through Monday morning. I love listening to narrators read samples of my stories. Anyone else working on audiobooks? #booksky #narrator
