#Mememay She's a housewife in mid-century America. Basically dead inside.

My novel has both a three-act plot structure and a Kishōtenketsu plot structure. Wild. #booksky

Just hit 21k words in my novel after a year of sustained effort. I think it’ll be worth it because this is my most complex and completed manuscript so far #booksky

Omg so excited to read The Feminine Mystique #booksky

Yellowface is so good so far, I don’t care what anyone else says #booksky

I just outlined a pivotal chapter tonight. Reading it back again, and I mean REALLY examining the book as a whole, it has made me realize my niche is more among the lines of transgressive fiction and splatterpunk. I need to change the way I talk about this novel to reflect this discovery. #writersky

Rewrote my entire first chapter instead of actually writing anything new for my story LMAO

Hello! Just want to share a few teaser pics with you! This graphic novel by Anais Flogny has beautiful art and a great story about a Chicago mob boss and a younger delivery man who meet in 1938 and soon fall in love. The location then shifts to New York and later 1960s Marseille France. (1/2)

I was finally able to resume my novel after about a week of procrastination. Gotta stick of the advice of “make it good later”

I made this fake tweet of my characters from my novel, does that count?

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 186: Always try to be aware of how much you're telling the reader. Is it enough? Is it too much? Are you feeding them just the right amount, or are you overwhelming them with unnecessary detail? If in doubt, just ask yourself: "Why do they need to know this?"

Are there any authors on here? They might want to take a look at this, and take action by Sunday: www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Just wrote a cartoonishly evil moment into my WIP, but it’s sadly realistic as well. If I’m reacting this strongly to it, imagine what the audience will think! #writersky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Finally getting character art of the other MC, let’s GO I also got some character art of the MC on impulse today too

"If criticism and thoughtful engagement continue to be pushed aside in favor of shallow viral moments, the cultural conversation risks becoming as thin and ephemeral as the Instagram stories that fuel it." observer.com/2025/08/arts...

Performatively reading a book? Level up. I’m performatively writing a book

Yesterday I found a manuscript I wrote 40 years ago Typed on an IBM selectric, only 1 copy (odd pages & a few chapters were all I had left) Believed I mistakenly threw it out late 80’s For decades this belief pissed me off considerably, so much work I can’t contain my excitement & had to share

I think Conrad as a character has so much potential. I have the foundation for something genuinely compelling and interesting, the problem is that I’m far too inexperienced with writing for me to really nail it down right now.

I hit 11k in my draft recently. #writersky

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 126: Ideas are worthless without hard work. The literary world is littered with the corpses of people with "ideas" who were unable or unwilling to put in the time and effort to develop them (or worse, expected someone else to do the work for them.)

Just had the biggest reveal about a huge aspect of my story… this new revision makes my story make more sense and better in every way. It also means I have to redo my outline quite a bit, and I also will have to redo some chapters again (including my longest one) #writersky #writersofbluesky

I hit 10k words in my first draft a few days ago!! #writersky

Wyoming, 1902. Jesse is still running — this time to a small ranch north of the Great Plains, where he’s secured work as a farm hand. But the Beast is always close behind… and every time it finds him, it demands more and more of his flesh. #PosterPit #W #HF #H #A

THE OFFICE x GOOD OMENS Virgil Mora has three months to turn around a vampire-ran Ohio gas station to restore Heaven’s faith in Hell and save his boss, Lucifer, the angel he’s fallen for. Before his past mistakes come back to haunt him. Literally. #PosterPit #W #A #C #F #LGBT

The notes for my book are longer than my actual draft so far 😭 #writersky

36. Horror should have more sex in it. Sexual violence should be discussed more frankly and directly in horror to avoid playing into the cultural repression which makes spheres like the family, churches, schools, etc, such fertile hunting grounds for predators.

25. There should be more prehistoric and ancient world-set horror.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

#booksky I gotta buy a copy of Revolutionary Road to annotate, there’s so many bits about the era it’s set in to chew on

I’d say it’s very bitter but still sweet, sort of like really dark chocolate. Definitely not to everyone’s taste but people still like it anyway and appreciate the sweetness when it comes up.

For me writing is like an exponential curve. It will never be perfect because perfection is not statistically possible. Still, I want my writing to reach the upper limit of perfection, much like how an exponential curve approaches its limit but ultimately never touches it.

I would absolutely want to include a song playlist for my story, but it would all just be dark ambient music or signalwave like The Caretaker, Infinity Frequencies, and Ethel Cain’s album Perverts. 😵‍💫

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Welcome back to #SummerOfStory Day 2: Psychic Distance A technique most writers probably use subconsciously, but can you get more out of your scenes if you actively fine-tune PD? NB: These ideas are not my own. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to write, just prompt discussion. #WritingPrompt
