If you like a book? Review it. Ask your library to buy it. If you can afford it, buy a copy for a friend. Recommend it wherever you're social. Send the author an email, or a skeet, or a Ko-Fi. Write fanfic. Blow under the wings of the paper airplane so it can fly a little farther.

What kind of music are you playing today while writing? I'm starting with this absolute banger by Tristan Perich (I own the actual album 😍) and will then move on to either game soundtracks or 1970's Japanese jazz I think. Happy writing! youtu.be/apDFVsBDCYE?...

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

HEY AUTHORS: It's the last weekend before Christmas and/or the end of Hanukkah, so people are going to be looking for last minute holiday gifts, which books are perfect for, so use this thread to tell everyone here at Bluesky about your book so they can go find it at their local bookseller. GO!

Looks like the SFWA has backed down from their support of people using LLMs to in part write their stories. But they include some typical press release gaslighting, saying: "To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models... 1/2

The petition is nearing 1000 signatures! Keep up the momentum! Please read, sign, and share this petition requesting Amazon to provide authors an opt out option for their new in-book AI chatbot. c.org/PYP9Q5T6MW #Amazon #Kindle #Readers #Authors #AI #NoAI

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Ik ben SF-schrijver, maar hoewel ik vaak over buitenaardse levensvormen schrijf komen er in mijn verhalen niet veel intelligente aliens voor. Wél in deze vijf boeken! Je vindt meer informatie over mijn boeken hier: johankleinhaneveld.blogspot.com/p/blog-page....

I'm thrilled to share the cover of the first issue of NAT20 magazine from Demagogue Press. A unique concept where playable games and stories inspired by those games will share the same space. Aiming for a Spring 2026 release. I'll have more to say in the future, but for now, check out the cover!

From writing almost nothing for a month to getting close to 2000 words today. Woohoo, that was nice! 😌

Anyone got a short story to rec? *Less than 50 pages*

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤 #art #painting #portrait #illustration

Reskeeting this because today's #SciFaikuSaturday theme is 'World', where we ask ourselves just what a world is.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

So... spells. We're using spells to undo the work we've done... tricking rocks into thinking with lightning. And trapping evil cars in circles of salt. The old ways are new again.

CALLING ALL SFF AUTHORS! It’s that time of year again: I’m assembling my MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2026 video, and I want your upcoming releases on my radar. If you’ve got a 2026 SFF book, drop it in the comments! Let’s make some noise. Read/share the full thread🔥 1/5

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay? Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever. Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

Wishing everyone a very happy "I Love to Write Day!" (Yes, it is a thing 😍 - nationaltoday.com/i-love-to-wr... !) 📚💙 #booksky I #amwriting (and loving it)! #books #poetry #literature #anime #fiction #nonfiction #lovestories #shortstories #fanfiction #flashfiction #novels #playwrights #screenplay

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

It's that time of year again! I've started collecting my annual list of eligibility and recommendation lists and award resources. Check out what people have done and loved this year and send me your own posts to add to the list! acwise.net/what-have-yo...
