10k steps and 10k words a day challenge starts today. You get 2 skip days a week. They wonder when I will stop... When I finish the 8 book ideas in my head... #amwriting #writer #writesky #artist

If you can't do your thing Why do anything... live breathe be Find the part of you under all that Identity you're carrying. ;) 😉 (; Just be you It's good enough It's not about fitting in It's about getting in the right spaces mentally and physically #amwriting #identity #write #dance

Beware the ides of March...

Academic pursuits gave me many gifts but one matters more than most It was not the degrees It was not the job prospects It was not the insights into human psychology and society It was the ability to write 15-30 pages in one day #Academia #amwriting #writesky #amflexing😂

ORANGE WINTER Winter has come And bitter cold grips us as if the air itself had teeth and insatiable hunger Hunger for warmth Hunger for love Hunger for life Hunger for that which it cannot have and still be winter So it envies our joy And seeks our destruction #orangewinter #poetry

My MC is slightly bullied early because they are different. They reject the path the community sets out for them. They start to find balance. something horrible happens and they become slightly unhinged and deadly. people notice. enemies are made #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is our version of earth. The only one we are going to get. Today, I chose brunch. Bonus points if you can say where I was... Because sometimes a little comfort is... Not deserved just needed.

I write fantasy about situations that should not happen in reality. Then reality proves me wrong. #amwriting #writesky #realworld

When you're good you're good And right now I'm good. I hope you are to. We deserve it. #vibing #living #doing #momentum

Strongest? The one who could burn everything — and doesn’t. Weakest? The one whose magic depends on whether he believes he deserves it. In my world, strength isn’t volume. And sometimes the “weakest” is the most dangerous of all. #writingcommunity #writesky #Febchantment

I’m drafting at a reckless pace. Not because I’m inspired. Because I’m afraid if I stop, the moons will rearrange themselves without me. #FantasyCraft #FantasyWorldbuilding #AmWritingFantasy #writesky #amwriting

Of course I deal with my emotions in a healthy manner... I write. It's like therapy from the gods. Evil soul eating gods perhaps but gods nonetheless Also me... #amwriting #fantasy #writesky

One of my favorite antagonists is machiavellian with a huge ego and a vindictive streak. He thinks he's keeping the peace. He thinks he's defending the (his) realm. In some ways he's right... How does he treat people... not very good me thinks. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I compress and expand time in my works... really depends on the characters and the scope I am trying build. Do decisions change lives or generations? I would say more, but they won't let me yet. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I wrote quite a bit the last few days. I'm not sure if it's good, but I cried writing one of the chapters. I knew what was going to happen, but i surprised myself with how I wrote it. #amwriting #writer #fantasy

I got to meet Jesse Jackson numerous times as a student. Powerful speaker, charismatic man, and a real one. He talked change and he made change. Rest In Power. Condolences to his family.

In my world, it depends on the place. In one pacifist village, the community judges and exile is possible. In one city, bribery and connections allow thieves to flourish. In another city, the wards prevent harm and crime is unheard of... but it's a static place. etc... #februaryworldbuilders

"Consumption without restraint Will kill you quick." Kethari Proverb

Have you ever gotten into a rhythm while writing. and you realize your writing uses repeated syntax (syntax that sounds cool when used sparingly) Yet, You did not show restraint. You did not choose variety. Instead, You chose repetition! Too frequently... #amwriting #writesky #fantasy

There are many forms of love... do not just focus on one today. Focus on all of them.

When you have a few ideas and you outline them... then you realize those ideas will probably require writing 140,000 words. You don't question your sanity, you realize you are already insane. #writer #amwriting #fantasy #writesky

It's amazing how writing 1,500-3,000 words a day for months really adds up... Discipline is the great equalizer. Yesterday, really didn't feel like writing, But I wrote anyway. My world is really taking shape. #amwriting #writer #fantasyauthor #writesky

"lunch money" made me laugh...

Trend Writer: “If I can generate a book in a day, who wins?” Me: "We are not playing the same game." TW: "but who wins?" Me: "Productivity should not be the main consideration in art." TW: why? Me: "Write one great book and you are never forgotten!" #AI #writer #amwriting #writesky

Drafting at a dangerous pace—afraid that if I stop, the universe unravels. Obsession is the only thing keeping the threads together. #writesky #worldbuilder #fantasy #amwriting

In my world... Redemption isn’t light. Its weight agreed to too late. A fickle partner— serving no one, teasing the rest, and charging interest. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Power always costs... who pays is the question If you’re expecting a hero, look elsewhere. In my stories, no one is saved. They choose. And the world charges them in full. #amwriting #writesky #FantasyWriters #WritingCommunity

The one who knows each seeding's name And calls all life in spring to bloom Is the one who bears your deepest grief Who's always with you in the gloom. #Poetry

Stories don’t ask politely. They take heat. They take loss. They take the parts you keep meaning to heal first. If you want clean work, use clean fuel. If you want honest work— use your soul. Burn it in the forge. Accept the ash. #poetry #WritingCommunity #DarkFantasy #AmWriting

Heroes talk about sacrifice. Survivors talk about what it cost. #writesky #writer #fantasy

The dangerous thing about order is how calm it feels while people disappear. #writesky

I don’t write villains to be hated. I write them to be right—just long enough to scare you. I want them to think they are right. To believe in systems and efficiency. If they’re someone’s favorite character, that’s not a bug. It’s a warning. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

First real readers finished Act I. Not praise. Not notes. Just: “When can I keep reading?” That’s the one that matters. #writesky #writingcommunity

Director is too clean. Actor is too loud. I'm the witness. I’m the guy in the corner going, thinking... “Oh. You’re really going to do that.”

One of my early Readers loves one of my characters... I said he's really the best character in the first act... I cried writing a few of his scenes... I rarely cry... Sometimes Writing is cathartic... Sometimes good writing means making hard choices...

I want people to read my work... Also me... I just want to write...

Violence ends. Memory doesn’t. That’s the kind of fantasy I care about. & A lesson the world could use right now. #fantasywriter #fantasyepic

After four perilous months of writing 30+ hours a week while working full time. I finally finished two books, and instead of joy I feel a little empty and burned out. As if the muse burned my soul as fuel for her words and now needs me to replenish it before feeding on me again. #fantasyfiction

I’m building a world where systems outlive villains, restraint costs more than violence, and songs are treated like weapons. Nothing here is about destiny. It’s about what people choose when the math turns against them. #fantasy #fantasywriter

Sometimes once I finish something... I get that Emily Dickinson feeling... maybe I should put this in the attic... or just burn it. Anyone else feel that way?

“The road did not ask anything of him; it merely called to him.” Moonlit trickster #booksky #bookchallenge #writers #authors #readers #booklovers

The world keeps insisting he become a weapon. He keeps insisting on being a person. That argument is the story. #FantasyWriters @googleballs.com @dtronaustin.bsky.social #Fantasy

I have been journaling ideas for years. I have been building words for decades... but I only really started to write last year. Now I have a book draft finished and many others in the works. The writing has become obsessive. I feel like the Emily Dickinson of Fantasy.

"No one agrees on how it began." This is how my prologue begins... @googleballs.com #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky #writersky

Hi @bsky.app writers. @dtronaustin.bsky.social I write epic fantasy grounded in consequence—mythic in scale, disciplined in magic, exacting in violence—where character, not prophecy, determines the fate of the world. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky #writersky

I wrote something I really liked Now I'm cutting some great stuff So that things later hit harder... I wrote something I liked I'm cutting stuff So Later Hits Harder... I wrote I cut later hits harder or... 🤣

Drafting thirty hours a week for 8 weeks straight. This can't last. Can it?

Hi everyone. I write epic fantasy where the jokes are a warning, the violence has limits, and the most dangerous character is the one trying not to become a god.
