My desire for 2026 is to become more comfortable with writing short stories. As much as I love novel writing, I think short stories have a lot to teach me about strong concise plots. It also gives me something to share with anyone who's interested before I have my novel published #booksky #newyear

I got a new Maggie Stiefvater novel and it did not disappoint. All the Crooked Saints is 5/5 stars. Definitely recommend! #booksky

Happy Pride! I'm so glad that the world is filled with so many great LGBTQ+ romances and adventures. They used to be so hard to find. #diversity #writing

I love this so much youtube.com/shorts/csYol... #booksky #indybookstore #community

Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card. #art #nationallibraryweek

I don't read much horror but I love stories about vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures #booksky #writing

Accidentally going off on a tangent is sometimes inspiration for the next piece of writing #writing #adhd #amwriting #inspired

When my mind is foggy and the words don't come, I often find that sitting outside can help #writing #adhd

Learning to write even when it's hard, is probably the most important lesson a writer can learn. Some of the best writing has come from the most impossible circumstances. Don't wait for inspiration, more time, quiet or comfort. Write something, whatever you can, from where you are now. #writing

I just read this book series by Traci Chee. Great storytelling and dynamic characters. I really enjoyed it #booksky

Spring will be here soon. There's just a faint stirring here in the north - but the natural world wakes - and I feel new things stirring in my consciousness. Spring is a time for new inspiration #booksky #writing

Libraries are going to need extra support in the next few years. Consider joining your local "Friends of the Library" group. They will be the first line of support when it's needed most. #booksky #libraries #community #resist

One things I love about writing is that I get to escape into any world I choose to imagine #writing #bluesky

There's loads of YA fantasy right now (which I love) but not much YA sci-fi. I wonder why and if that will change at some point #booksky #yafiction

Being near a plant improves my mood and concentration #author #amwriting #writing

Amazon is removing the ability to download and backup books to a computer hard drive. If you want to protect your current collection of books here's how: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMoC... #booksky

When I'm struggling to get started writing I just start with journaling, to get the ink flowing and my brain started with words, then I switch back and usually things flow better #writing #writerslife #booksky #amwriting

Had a couple of good writing days after a period of rough ones. It feels extra good to have words I really like today #writing #writerslife

I find myself missing things about Unity and its community, but I don't at all regret the choice to switch to developing in Godot #gamedev #godot

Optimizing for speed is not a fun part of coding for me, but I know it's super important #gamedev

In the midst of life's chaos I treasure the time I set aside for writing, not just to get writing done, but for how those moments feel #writing #booksky #writerslife #amwriting

Happy holidays everyone! I hope something wonderful comes to you today

I like to write by hand in notebooks, and on winter days like this I can do it in a cozy chair wrapped in a blanket #writing #writerslife #booksky

So much code to write, so little time #gamedev

Is coffee a magic potion for writing? #writing #booksky #amwriting

My favorite writing exercise is to ask who wants to tell me a story, and then hopefully a character will share a scene from their life. I meet the most interesting characters this way. #writing #booksky #amwriting #writingexercise #characters

Some days only the writing habit keeps me moving forward. Often there is enjoyment, the muse shows up, etc. But I'm glad I can rely on habit to carry me through the hard days #writing #booksky #writinglife #amwriting

The desire to hide and hibernate in the winter pairs well with the desire to hide and write #writing #booksky #writinglife

My favorite lesbian romance novel is Romancing the Inventor by Gail Carriger #booksky #favoritebook #lgbtq

Writing is both expression and escape for me. I create a world but I also get to go play in it and forget the one I'm in for a while #writing #booksky

We all deserve time and space to explore, play, discover, and connect with people.

Find one small thing you can do to move forward and try to forget about everything else just for now #productivity #adhd #overwhelm #growth

If you are looking for local writing groups ask your local librarians. They tend to be tapped into that scene and might be writers themselves #writing #author #booksky

Sitting in a coffee house and writing is one of my favorite things. I rarely get special coffee at other times. I love the atmosphere, trying out new locations, feeling the vibe, and my head is always clearer there than most any other place. #writinglife #booksky #author #adhd #favoritethings

Sometimes I need a cuteness of the day to hold on to. It helps me make it through the hard times and keep my mind peaceful. Here's the cute baby for today:

Learning how to express an elaborate story through the medium of gaming is a really interesting challenge #writing #gamedev #booksky #gamestory

Do I need to keep all 612 of these unfinished pieces of writing? .....yes, yes I do #writers #booksky #author #writerslife

Thank you to all the science researchers and science writers who help us understand the world and make better choices #writers #science

There's something fascinating and oh so real about the forgotten and ignored places like back alleys, abandoned buildings, and rooftops. #author #booksky #writing #worldbuilding #photography

I'm playing the game Reka. I'm enjoying being the young witch apprentice to Babba Yaga. Good storyline. I love that I can build and decorate our cabin. #gamedev #indygames

The difference in difficulty between writing when I write every day or trying to write after a long break is really substantial. It is so much easier to get the words flowing when I do it every day. #writingsky #booksky #writers #writinglife #amwriting #writingcommunity

Have you ever tried making a book from scratch - binding a pile of loose paper and putting a hard cover on it? It is such a neat experience. If you love books and enjoy projects I strongly recommend it. #booksky #author #bookbinding #booklovers #crafts

Have you ever tried writing along with other writers live on Twitch? There is a whole community. Just search for "cowriting" and join us there. #writingcommunity #writers #writetogether #booksky #author

Hello Bluesky. I'm a writer looking for community. I've heard things are much better over here. I'm looking forward to diversity and kindness :) #bluesky #booksky
