Good morning and happy Sunday!

7 years ago there was a call to name the 20 newly discovered moons of Saturn. I sent in the name of a mythical Gallic giant and am convinced I 'won' with my submission 😏. Still waiting for a call from the IAU 😅

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Rip Anthony Stewart Head. I will never forget about your Giles 🥲

Wishing everyone a lovely time at the Nebula Conference and Stokercon! 😊

Self-Publishing Edition: I did not understand until I self-pubbed under two pennames in two different genres that: - some books sell more than other books - even when written by the same writer - even when you try to promote them equally - none of this means you (or the books) are "failures"

Wrote the first 10,000 words of my Fantasy novel, progressing nicely. Incredibly inspiring to dive into research of dozens of local Dutch myths and weaving them into the story. I'm also working on some hard sci-fi short stories in the background, the complete other side of the SFF spectrum. 👽🚀 - 🧙‍♀️🪄

When the temptation to do some unnecessary research instead of getting those all important words on paper hits... #bookmeme #booksky #writingmeme #write #writing

Halloooo! Congratulations to all of the Locus Award winners and finalists last night! And look! The Submission Grinder got a special award. I was happy to be able to attend in person for it!

we cannot keep letting this (Locus listing Lee Young-do as "Young-do, Lee" as if Lee were his given name) happen. learn to distinguish Chinese, Japanese, and Korean surnames, and/or literally just look it up.

Gisteren was een feestje! In bib de Neude en Utrecht lieten we "kwallen in de brievenbus" los op de wereld. Vanaf volgende week woensdag in de boekhandel! #boeksky #booksky #penstewart #climatefiction #sunday

If creative work was really so useless, capitalism wouldn't spend billions of dollars trying to steal it.

Hi. I am launching my first short story collection, APARTMENT WARS AND OTHER STORIES, on #Kickstarter. ✨✍️✨ It’s my first ever KS campaign, and it would make my day if you checked it out. 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ver... #Booksky #Books #ShortStories #IndieAuthor #ApartmentWars

Thank you Locus and Locus Award voters!

Quite something seeing myself listed as an author! ☺️ That's me right there, on an anthology with over 20 cool people that all wrote short horror stories. Grateful my parents got to see this before they passed away 🥲 Link to the book: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... #debutauthor #horror

Some days, things just go well. You end up writing 1200 words and are invigorated but the characters coming to life on the page. No self-deprecating memes needed then. #sff #bookmeme #booksky #writingmeme #WriteEveryDay

Transforming into that summer body! 🌊🍸🏖️

If you're an author and you see another author promoting their book, give 'em a boost.

What a delight. Written some good stuff for the first time in over three weeks. When I finally really set myself to it the words seemed to just flow. Well, that's the first few chapters of my book done. 🙂

Een voorproefje van ‘Ontsnappingspoging’? In mijn nieuwste verhalenbundel vind je 25 korte SF-verhalen. Ze gaan allemaal over toekomsten waarin iets helemaal is misgegaan. Hoe is dat gekomen en zijn er nog lichtpuntjes te bekennen? www.uitgeverijmacc.nl/product/onts...

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

This. It's always the creation part of the process that is electrifying, inspiring. Seeing the finished product is nice, but I'm always more interested in working on the next thing than admiring what was created.

Since some fetal tissue transfers to the mother during pregnancy, would the human mother of a half-elven child end up living substantially longer? Could this lead to human women having half-elven children as a longevity enhancer?
