Happy #caturday from Cheerio. #catsofbluesky

And absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong. 🙃 Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Me watching you scroll past my posts.

I think we all need more cat pictures in our lives. You’re welcome. #catsofbluesky

I have such bizarre dreams. Like I decided to book a venue for a stage production with no script, no cast or staff, and two hours before I asked to postpone and was informed that would be $20k because liens had been placed against the production. Can't even use that in a book.

Made this for dinner tonight and every part of it was great. www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/baja-fish-ta...

When Bluesky doesn't like my posts.

Said it before, I'll say it again: em dashes are in AI slop because they were used in the content scraped to "train" it. If people can't get that, it's on them.

Why is Clover orange? #catsofbluesky

My favorite part of my cover blurb is that I can immediately tell when someone is trying to use it to convince me they read my book when they didn't.

Fuck AI. Seriously.

Cheerio enjoying getting zapped. #catsofbluesky

And this. I'm exhausted by this.

I am so sick of AI, and fighting having it shoved down my throat. A doctor's office used AI to build their site and instead of making sure the site was accurate, put a disclaimer instead. Generative AI is a scourge that should be wiped out before it turns our brains to mush.

Writing Tip: We all have writing tics that we include in our work. Overused/repeated phrases or words we just throw in to pad out a sentence. It's kinda like using 'umm' in the middle of a conversation. Look for yours. Once you spot them, they become easy to fix. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

It's been almost a year since Straw Girl came out, and I'm looking for some fresh reviews. If you're interested in a character driven spooky tale where the house is almost It's own character, I have a few digital copies available in exchange for reviews. #booksky

The most unrealistic thing about Grey's Anatomy is the medical procedures and hospital stays and the insurance companies are apparently just fine with it.

My hot take about writing is write your first draft with the knowledge that future you will sit down with a hot cup of coffee (or tea) and go, "well that's interesting, I wonder what that's supposed to mean" and that's okay.

Clover is performing essential gravity tests this morning. Send help.

I'm not grumpy. I have Adult-Onset Terrible Twos.

Yes, I'm sure the FTC is going to get right on that, the person responsible will be held accountable, and everyone will get their money back. And eggs will be free and we'll all fly around on goldfish crackers.

If you, or someone you love, is at risk of getting a horse, I'm here to help. Friends don't let friends get horses.

Is it even Clover if she doesn't have her legs hanging off whatever surface she's sleeping on? #catsofbluesky

Cheerio was ready for her close up. #caturday #catsofbluesky

It's #caturday , but my cats aren't cooperating. Cheerio, however is making biscuits on my lap while my pressure canner cools.

Want to reduce the use of antidepressants? Try a universal basic income, 4 six-hour work days per week, and lots and lots of paid vacation time. That might help.

Instead of worrying about worldbuilding in opening chapters, focus on developing the character so that we have something to hold onto. Then let us discover the world around them as they move through it. Trust your reader.

I've had some pretty terrible medical providers through the VA, but I have to admit all the phlebotomists I've seen have been awesome.

Fluffy playing dressmaker's dummy.

I've drafted and deleted so many posts today. Please clap. Let's sum it up as I'm so tired of this timeline.

Imposter syndrome as an author is brutal because you can hit milestones, publish books, grow an audience, and still feel like you’re behind everyone else or not good enough. A lot more writers struggle with that than people admit. #AuthorSky

I really hate it when restaurants don't put prices and upcharges on the menu. Why are you afraid to be transparent?

Fuck AI. You do it yourself over and over until it feels real. That's the whole point

Me as my rankings sink.

How dare you?!

My husband thought I was imagining things when I told him I saw a cemetery in the woods behind my house. Yesterday we walked back, and sure enough there's a family site back there, including brothers in the Maine Volunteers who died in the Civil War. A rabbit hole for later to see which battles.

Sunday experiment with Boston Cream Pie. I think it worked. At least it went better than last time.

It's Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love 💜

Can't believe I almost forgot #caturday ! The precious Cheerio. #catsofbluesky

Repaired a fly boot, the neck to a cool coat, a glove, a shirt, and started working on my frankenblanket that is going to hopefully protect Fluffy from the sun and the bugs.

I have a commercial sewing machine because my regular one really, REALLY does not like horse blankets and saddle pads. The to-do pile grows and then I do it all at once. Today is that day.

Once again tapping the "i don't use ai and don't support those who do" sign. Unfollowed someone just now who slipped through the cracks and I'll do it again

PTSD rep, lesbian rep, a skeptic in a haunted house appeals to readers even if they don't believe in ghosts. Slow burn plot w/romance. Set in Maine by a Maine author with a glowing review (and subsequent interview) with One Tribune. Lots of ebook options, not just 'zon. books2read.com/u/3JB1zK

Yeah. If I get spammed with one of those "but the children" posts asking for money, whether it's a tag, reply, or other, I don't ask questions. We're done.

Oh yeah

My writing mojo is a fragile thing these days, I'm finding.

Seeing a lot of discourse about Graham Platner (nobody from Maine, somehow) and his tattoo. So I looked it up. nypost.com/2026/03/15/u...
