If you put up a post promoting gen AI, it's an instant block for me. I don't care if it can crank out book marketing in minutes. I'll fail at marketing on my own terms, thanks.

Woke up feeling like trash and have to skip attending my in-person writing group today. I know I can write from home if I feel up to it, but still so, so guilty. #writerproblems

Excited to be working with indie authors to bring you more blind dates with a book!! #booksky 💙📚

Librarians need to decide what books to offer in their libraries; not the government or a few individuals. "Books are for use." (Ranganathan's 1st law of library science) #BookSky #BookBans

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

This last edit of Beastly Beloved is DONE. This weekend I should have the manuscript uploaded and ready to go way ahead of my deadlines!!! #writesky #booksky #beastlybeloved

I think Ai ignoring copyright and steal/giving incorrect results + Ai destroying our environment and communities are two very good reasons not to use Ai for your "writing". The other reason is that all us actual writers hate you.

A question for #authorsky and #writersky: How often should an indie author get new headshots taken? The ones I'm using are from 2022 and are amazing, but I wonder if this is something that should be updated more often. Thoughts?

I’m no Swiftie, but there’s something to be said for starting the day by screaming along with “Look What You Made Me Do.”

Excited to participate in #authorapril26! Many thanks to @mariahankenman.bsky.social for hosting! Day 1: Introduce yourself and what you write! #booksky #writersky

Smut is your friend! 🥰

Counted my Star Wars books today. I thought I had 160-170. Uh... I own 225. This is not a complete collection, btw. I still have work to do, it seems!

People who think, 'You use em dashes, you must have used ai' are people who have a) never read an actual book in their life and/or b) slept their way through English class. And boy howdy, as a writer and English teacher with a PhD, do I have THOUGHTS

Chapters proofed: 6/20 We're getting there! And this draft is cleaner than I hoped. If I don't procrastinate (heh) I should have this thing wrapped up soon!!
