Merry Xmas to me. We are pleased to inform you that your work, Fjäril, has been accepted for inclusion in the upcoming volume of Loki's Torch, scheduled for release on December 31, 2025 #writingcommunity

It's really great when your mentee knocks it out of the park. Proud of them, they're on their way. @bsfwriters.bsky.social #writingcommunity

My comic book is now available koffiart37.gumroad.com/l/hpignh Please check it

Excellent list of #EcoLit. Lots of ideas for books as gifts! (I'm part of the #Rewilding discord, & my novel The Working is here as well!) #BookSky #WritingCommunity #reading. #Books include: #climate #SFF #SpecLit #Nature #solarpunk

I try to do a writing thing every day. Well today I did two! Woooooo!!! #writingcommunity

10% through first draft of latest book. Love the stage where you just word vomit all over. This one is super moody. Had a buddy in my novel group compare it to being in a Francis Bacon painting and I couldn't be happier. #writingcommunity

This might be one of my favorite gore lines I've ever written: "producing an organic fireworks display with chunks of red, white, and goo..." #horrorwriting

Had some set backs this week on the ol word count front. Kept the story going in my head though. Wrote down ideas. I have no deadline so... Yeah. #writingcommunity

The discipline to avoid writing an entire dissertation on a thing you found out about for flavor details is needed but very painful. I learned about old logging camps. Relevant? Yes. Entirety of new knowledge needed to be explored for this chapter? No. *Straining noises* #writingcommunity

Me with each new chapter: Several bullet points to get vague shape of chapter. Makes sure to note the emotional third rail is present. Notes any sub plots. Writes. Shit these two points got done together Shit, this point too long. Shit, shit. Oh shit! Sheeeeeeet... Next. #writingcommunity

5.7% done with next WIP and I am digging the tone and personalities I'm building. Also, how's Vatesh Graalman for a main character name, right? Nailed it. #writingcommunity

So I had a conversation with my friend Rebecca about a logo for the Buffalo HWA branch. I mentioned a spooky branch and a moon maybe. She made this like a day later because she's amazing. I'm blown away. #writingcommunity #horror

Gave out like 40 of my cards at indie author day today. Hopefully the Buffalo branch of the HWA will be growing. Or at least I'll have a bunch more Buffalo author pals. Good day. #writingcommunity

So it begins. Remnants of Death is on sub. #writingcommunity #amquerying

I have gotten the feedbacks. I have made adjustments. Tonight I sit with them. Tomorrow I double check them. Then, it's agent query time. #writingcommunity

Fuck... Time dilation is a bitch...

First draft of Remnants query letter done. My blood is thrumming and my lungs are too big. I gotta sit with it and take another look before I throw it at a few friends to give feedback. It just feels... Important. I've done this before but somehow it's different. So am I. #writingcommunity

Who's got two thumbs and is the Co-Coordinator for the Horror Writer's Association NY Chapter Buffalo Branch? This guy! Me and Pauline Chow Stories are taking the gig on. Logo, merch, events, and other ideas to come. Excited screeeeeeeeeeech! #writingcommunity

Watched a list of movies people walked out of. I never have and never will. I paid money, man. Lol.

An old short story I wrote which actually recently inspired me to want to turn it into a oneshot manga. Slowly working on that as I'm trying to get back into drawing. Give it a read if you're a fan of some light sci-fi🤗 #writing #writingcommunity #shortstory #bvm #indieauthor

I think my favorite critique I've ever received might be: "I found the right wing angle a little one sided and not very complex." They get me. <3 Lol #writingcommunity

Good morning #authors! How are we today? Always remember: anything you get down is something to celebrate. Even if you have to go back and change something, the fact that you sat down and tried is huge. Revisions are your friend, perfectionism is the enemy! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writers

Just signed and sent back the contract for my short story "Sanguine" to appear in the next season of The Kaleidocast through @bsfwriters.bsky.social It's a bloody cosmic horror about the current state of rent and human connection. "We all have to make sacrifices." #writingcommunity

Had one of those stories that beats at the inside of your skull until you get it out last week. Now I'm lightly editing. Much feminist body horror and revenge. Rawr. #writingcommunity #horror

Always nice when the rejection is explicitly because the story wouldn't work with the other acceptances. While accepted is better, "This was a really good story, I wish the other stories worked with it." makes me happy because it means my work is unique and quality. #writingcommunity

Submission calls: Send us your most quintessential bespoke nuanced work. Shake us to our cores and cause our hearts to thrum with agony. Me, blowing dust off a story about a redcap torturing a serial killer: LET'S GOOOOOOOO! #writingcommunity

Kinda crazy that of the books I've read lately, the ones I've liked have been exclusively written by friends of mine. Not a thing young Liam would have believed if I told him. Very cool. #writingcommunity

No one feel bad. It's what he would have wanted.

Chewing on ideas like an everlasting gobstopper. Flavor keeps showing up and I gotta talk into my phone at the weirdest times like when I'm out for a run gasping out shit like: "Monster blood in machines, maybe that's what pisses off the vampires most." #writingcommunity

My new afrofantasy, Darnell and the Librarians: Journey Through Kuzimu, is available on discovery! @reedsy.bsky.social reedsy.com/discovery/bo... #bvm #blackbooksky #fantasybooksky #writingcommunity #indieauthor

Two authorly duties done today. Tomorrow, second crack at synopses. This time with the sauce. Not booze. .... Maybe booze. #writingcommunity

Writing is taking a shot every time you say "Now the REAL work begins..." until you're blackout drunk and forget the taste of bread. #writingcommunity

One task down, now for query letter. Rawr. #writingcommunity

"A Liam Beard is sleek and bloody." ~Me when talking with other horror writers. (Or really... Most people I don't work with. And some I do.) #writingcommunity

Hustle? Grind? Naw Nap. Plop. #writingcommunity

Blood is fascinating. Metaphorically, physically, symbolically, lots of ways. I don't have a special new take, so much as I occasionally think about it. It's unseen unless things have gone wrong for the most part. We attribute tons of meaning. Fascinating. #writingcommunity

Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things Too many things...

Used to rejection in the writing game, but man it sucks when you try and stack cards and none of them pay off. Ah well. Onward. #writingcommunity

I assure you all that I am doing writing related things. Lol. #writingcommunity

Been reading recently released horror. You know to get a feel for the landscape. Gotta do it once in a while if not continuously. Weirdly the last two books not much of real consequence has happened in either. Is that where we're at? Not much happening? Gonna have to read a few more books.

Good news: New flash story written. Bad news: the call I wrote it for came nowhere near their Kickstarter goal, so dear call. Well. Another for a self made collection I guess. #writingcommunity

Reading reading reading reading reading reading reading weeeeee!!!

Hey artists! QRP with your #sketch vs final 🖤✏️
