The house itself felt warm, lived-in, full of framed family photos and the smell of something always baking in the oven. It was the opposite of my house, where I felt like a guest who’d overstayed my welcome instead of a son. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Instead, I stared into the little flame between us. It guttered, then steadied, as if reminding me that fragile light could still hold back the dark—at least for a while. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

I don’t know what it is about fall that makes me want to spin yarn, but I’ll take it. Next up: this delicious blend from @intothewhirled.bsky.social

I don’t understand the arguments for keeping standard time over the winter. They say it’s not great for the zone edges. So why not shift the zones? We are used to shifting time 2x a year. Shift the problematic zone areas and stay in daylight savings time.

Today I made yarn. Still needs a good wash. #yarn #handspun

Hey, I hear it’s #NationalCatDay

We spent the next hour in the costume room digging through moth-eaten robes, plastic swords, and wigs that looked, and smelled, like someone had rescued them from a dumpster. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Setup at the Write the Docs Berlin venue is underway! We are so excited to see you all tomorrow in Berlin and online!

More than some lab with wires, computers, and data ports, this place came straight from our nightmares, complete with the faint electric scent that always followed me back into waking. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

I caught sight of the sky, which had turned to twilight. A whirl of deep blues and bruised purples, dotted with constellations I didn’t recognize. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

I think she felt trapped. Like no matter what she did—how high she rose, what awards she achieved—it wouldn’t be her success, it would be theirs. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritteSky

It was too early in the morning, but I couldn’t go back to sleep. What if I slipped back into death and never woke up? #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I lay in the same bed, an old twin frame with a sagging mattress, the navy-blue comforter still bearing the faded emblem of the Starship Enterprise from a TV show I’d once loved. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

She gave me what my mother could not—unconditional acceptance. It didn’t matter if we fought or disagreed, the moment would pass and the next day we were again best friends. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

He carried no obvious weapon, though his hands flexed with the remembrance of gripping one a moment before. #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Together the friends made an unstoppable team. One would draw people in, the other would keep them. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Everyone wanted to be close to her, but she didn't like to let anyone in. And when she did open up to me? God, it felt like winning the lottery. Like I was chosen. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WriteSky

The human hasn’t been posting enough photos of me, so I’m taking matters into my own paws. #caturday #catsOfBluesky #catSky

I used to think losing my mind would come with a bang. I’d feel the snap, the moment, of disconnect. However, it was more like the slow and quiet tear of fabric being pulled in opposite directions. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Maybe because she hadn’t studied math like her mother wanted; or maybe because she’d moved so far away; or maybe her mother had simply grown tired of her, the way people grow tired of books they would never finish. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

His small shoulders hitched with held back tears. He wanted to ask for help, but didn’t believe any would come. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky
