I review @michelletang.bsky.social 's DuMort. Beautiful yet bizarre, gentle yet harsh, this novel is a riveting journey of horror and fascination. It evokes the suspense of similar novels in the genre, but in a refreshing style all its own. Review: jimdorantales.com/2025/08/13/r... #gaslampfantasy

Working on a new novel I’m referring to as my “Hokkien Horror” and I personally think that sounds very catchy! #writingcommunity

I’ve been on a bluesky break but seeing this cover again makes me so excited! ❤️❤️

I found my first gray pubic hair today. Things like this don't normally bother me but this was in my coffee at Starbucks.

When you’re writing the ending to your book/story, how do you keep it from being too predictable or cliché? #writingcommunity

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

I’ve been trying to give up caffeine for my health, but nothing hits like sipping a coffee while I’m writing 😢 #writingcommunity

Hi! As I settle in on this site, I’m going to slowly do an #MSWL for what I’m looking for in 2025. I represent all kinds of things, both kidlit and adult.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

I thought I knew someone really well, but I don’t think I ever did. Trying to get through my divorce is taking it out of me. I’m trying to be strong. I’m trying to be positive. I just want it to be over. I’m tired of feeling the betrayal and hurt over and over again.

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

Setting my domain as my handle is such a good idea, but the instructions include things like “find DNS settings” and, sir, I’m not sure why the internet doesn’t just fall out of the cable in the wall. You are expecting too much of me.

Welp, i’ve gone and missed my self-imposed deadline for finishing my urban fantasy draft. Now i’ve got to write the last ten chapters AND edit the book by the end of december. Why do i do this to myself? #writingcommunity

Hey, #horrorwriters! I want--no, need--to read some short horror fiction. STAT. Drop a link to something you've written!

I’m still getting used to being chatty again — I saw so many pile-ons and trolls in the other place I mainly turned into a lurker.

I'm feeling a little like a lonely crone here? Where are my fellow 65+ authors, editors, and readers? I need you!

There was a café I saw in Korea called "I still hide you in my poetry" and I think about that phrase a lot

BlueSky was a haven for marginalized communities before the exodus from X-Twitter. The LGBTQIA+, black, sex workers, and furries communities were here early; they found a place where they could be themselves without judgment. We must remember to honor and ally. Let's hear their voices. ☕💙

If anyone wants alternatives to Goodreads, I highly recommend walking out into the fields where the beehives sit in the hot sun, and telling the bees about what your reading, which characters you love, what book still haunts you all these years later. 📚 🐝

I see people do book launches all the time — how do you get over the fear that no one will show up?

Time for my 2024 awards eligibility post! If you enjoyed anything I published this year and want to nominate it for anything, that’s wonderful! If not, no worries at all!

Two nuns are driving through Transylvania in the dead of night. Suddenly a vampire lands on the hood of their car. He's pounding on the glass! One nun says to the other, "Show him your cross!" The other nods firmly. She sticks her head out the window and yells, "Get the fuck off the windshield!"
