Rebels and Queens! The fast paced novella of resilience and telling the patriarchy where they can stick it by Kate Prada #meetthecharactersmonday #novella #booksky #romancelandia #indiebooks

Had grand plans of getting back into the swing of things for marketing my books... ...And as soon as the kid headed off to school I immediately dove into all the little cleaning side projects that had been stacking up (Did I really need to wash out a laundry basket??) #writer #authorlife

We moved in in July and my productivity has tanked. Trying to adopt a come Hell or Highwater mentality when it comes to getting these dang books out... it's slow going to say the least but at least I finally carved out a little writing space #writer #writersofbluesky #writing #indieauthor

Did you guys know I’ve published 5 books? Yeah I totally forgot about that too 🫣

Just tore through the first 50 pages of a book I was really enjoying. Then the author gave a high schooler (side character) from Jersey a Toyota Hilux (We can’t get those in the states) I’ve DNFed for less. Not ready to give up on it but I’m gonna need a minute. #reading #reader #books #dnf

PBS has been a home for independent documentaries for more than 50 years. But with the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, nonfiction storytellers have to figure out a way forward. n.pr/45ldmyS

Dungeon crawler Carl and those TikTok lizard videos are the band aids holding my mental health together these days

it's heartwarming without being too sappy, full of little moments that’ll make you laugh & so full of love you’ll want to hug the book when you’re done! And if you're someone who loves a dog story? Get ready! Lost is an absolute scene-stealer! #books #bookreview #bookrec #read #Bookish #booklover

Hi, my name is Kate, and my toxic trait is starting a completely new work in progress and then abandoning every one that came before it. #writersky #writing #writersofbluesky

yo wtf fuck you if you steal and copy authors’ works. fuck you if you use gen ai and call yourself a writer. you’re an opportunist hack using a theft machine. 📚💙

Checking the Panama Canal live cams just to see a glimpse of the ship my husband is on and suddenly Widow’s Walks make a whole lot more sense….

“If you had just let me handle this…” should be the title of my memoir

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

If you love your library, listen up…

POV: you live in Connecticut and are struggling to find the motivation to leave the house

I think… I think I made a book trailer 🫣 #booksky #bookrec #romandebooks #novella #booktrailer youtube.com/shorts/L_XC0...

Native Authors: I am accepting manuscripts during Pitchfest! (But if you have a YA or adult manuscript that doesn’t quite fit, I’d love to still see it now!)

So the meta 🏴‍☠️ allegedly removed copyright pages from all the books to avoid any ai clauses, speculating that they knew what they were doing. At least my authors note was included when they stole, then scraped my book. Watch out for those elevators 😘 #books #indiebooks #author #writer #booksky

Sign the open letter from the Authors Guild to the CEOs of AI companies demanding they compensate writers and get proper permission. #writer #author #indieauthors #tradauthors #booksky #writersofbluesky actionnetwork.org/petitions/au...

The Authors Guild has a prefill letter to FB CEO regarding your displeasure as an author with Meta's piracy. Tell them how you feel. #writers #authors #indieautho #tradauthor #books #readers #writersofblusky actionnetwork.org/letters/auth...

Meta can kick rocks. I know book 🏴‍☠️ is a thing but this is obscene. The link to check the database for your books is in the article Ima go scream into the void now #booksky #authorsky #books #author #indieauthor #saynotoai www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

People on Reddit are like "I'm a writer and I'm okay with AI stealing my work" fuck off right into the sun.

#readers : I’m at the thrift shop and I already have a few books (that I’ve been on the lookout for) in my hands. I can get one more. Tell me - Agatha Christie or Anne Rice. Been wanting to try both and can’t decide #booksky #reading

millennials will be like i know a banger and it's the reading rainbow theme song. and they're right

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Watch who and what they are attacking first.

Listen, I can write the books or I can market the books, but right now, I cannot do both. #indieauthor

Random, no context quote from my current work in progress: "...I hadn’t planned on k!ll!ng this motherfckr, but the little ass squeeze before he finished searching me sealed his fate..." #writing #writersofbluesky #workinprogress #nocontext #suspensebooks #writingromance

A movie you've watched more than 6 times

You gotta search for the little glimmers of joy where you can find them. The fact that I can get the new sticker I just uploaded to Redbubble in holographic finish will sustain me for the rest of today #glimmer #glimmeroftheday

New on the blog! Deborah Weiss shares how an undergraduate class she taught on 'Jane Austen and the Injured Body' inspired her new book 'Women and Madness in the Early Romantic Novel: Injured Minds, Ruined Lives' published by @manchesterup.bsky.social womenshistorynetwork.org/women-and-ma...

So, this is actually how you get MORE Zuckerbergs and more Musks. But y’all are still not ready for that conversation.

Me: how was Valentine’s Day at school buddy? My 8 year old son: it was good. I told my class all about the St Valentine’s Day massacre Me: uh… 8yo: it’s cool. My teacher is a historian. I’m still waiting on that phone call 🤦🏻‍♀️ #genalpha #history #valentinesday

Listen there was a time in my life where I went skydiving barefoot and had a bar tab as long as my arm. These days I’m just super excited for the old school dymo label maker I just ordered.

Happy Valentine's Day, friends! Hope you're having a great day celebrating in whatever way brings you the most joy! Whether that be with loved ones, friends, or by yourself! Here are some romance book recs that you might enjoy 🥰 #booksky #diversebooksky

I will make -A spreadsheet to quantify WC in all of my WIPS to track progress -A marketing manual to promote my books, complete with ALL book info needed -A schedule of when to post what on which platforms - Templates for said posts - Series/book bibles for all books All to avoid #writing #writer
