Just finished City of Nightmares by @rebecca-schaeffer.bsky.social and had a really good time. Her Market of Monsters series had inspired my own work, and now I doubt I'll be able to stop thinking about vampires after reading this duology lol #BookSky

When a powerful enemy disrupts their lives and seeks to claim the throne, a prince and an assassin must work together to save their kingdom from dark plots and darker magic—and survive against all odds. #BluePit 📖 #YA #F #Q #ND #LGBT #amquerying

I'm still new to the process of querying, but trust me -- you want to stay organized. Make a (colored!) spreadsheet and take notes of every agent/agency you're interested in working with, every query you send, every date things have been sent or when to check back! #BluePitHype

#BluePitHype ADVICE SHARE TIP 3: ELEVATOR/LOG LINE PITCH Condensing a story to 1 or 2 sentences is hard. Here's a way to brainstorm a simple elevator pitch, should you need it. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmQuerying #GameDev #Comics #TTRPG

When writing a first draft, resist the urge to ask "Is it good?" and instead get curious about "What's happening here, right now, that's energizing me?" It's gonna be messy, so lean into the chaos of creating something only you can create. #Writing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Hey #BluePitHype! These are each made by three separate talented artists. Meet Rose, my MFC and assassin. Special thanks to @ljnicole.bsky.social for the map of the kingdom of Gushénn (which holy cow girl we NEED TO UPDATE haha).

Good Morning Bluesky! Things are horrible & I don't have much to offer but a borb who appears to be high AF. Jealous honestly. Be good to yourselves & each other. #watercolor #Art #Birds #Borbs

Dear God, Never again will I say "I don't need to bring binoculars" when I go on a walk. I need them. There are birds to see. I need to identify them. This is my purpose. You have rebuked me in signs (a hawk) and, in my suffering, I repent of my foolish ways. Amen. #birdwatching

A Poem for Someone Who Is Juggling Her Life

Authors: as a reminder if an agent requests a synopsis (not a query but a synopsis) that they expect spoilers. Not giving all the details doesn’t help you. It makes us question how the pieces come together and if they can even come together. Spoilers are expected!

Dear god, if this is what Trump is willing to do for Maduros just imagine what lengths he'll go for Tostones

ACCEPT YOURSELF AND YOUR EXPERIENCE EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE AT. DON'T FORCE YOURSELF INTO SHAPES THAT HURT YOU. BE A MULTITUDE WITHIN YOURSELF AND THROUGH YOUR COMMUNITY, SO THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I've barely started querying, but I'm already at the point where I'm tempted to look at my email several times a day lol #amquerying

Just fired off my first query letter! I'm a little nervous, but I've prepared as much any person can be expected to prepare... Out of my hands and into the hands of fate! #amquerrying

Chanced upon the Gold Seer Trilogy by @raecarson.bsky.social at a thrift store, and I LOVED IT! Quick pacing, high stakes, a beautiful blend of the magical into the historical, and a clear devotion to representing the darker realities of the California gold rush. A great found family read. #booksky
