This might be a hot take, but writers/artists in fandom spaces who beg for kudos'/comments/for you to read their stuff but who never uplift or support other creatives in the space do not deserve your attention or your time, no matter how good their work is.

A New England miracle: when your Dunkin order is made correctly and tastes amazing 😍

Should I work on: a) outline why choose boy band romance b) second chance romance w/anxiety rep (draft is started) c) outline Haven's Point 4 d) worldbuilding for the "coffee shop at the end of the universe" alien romance Help me decide!! #writesky #booksky

#WIPSnips When I did this all I got was lightning bugs. No, seriously, I did draw a pentagram at midnight with citronella candles and princess chalk. It was all the dollar store had. It made this scene much funnier. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting

if you are someone who makes anything, anything at all, with your own real brain and hands, I respect you so so much and am begging you to keep doing it.

If all you want to do on your day off is play video games, that's a perfect day & let no one shame you for it! So naive when ppl look at others wrong because that's what they did on their free time. Gaming is a form of self-care & someone not understanding that is their loss.

Tonight!! I'll be at Baxter Memorial Library in Gorham, ME, talking about Beastly Beloved! I'll also have signed copies of my books available and it's a free event. :) I hope to see you there! #indiemaineauthor #gorhammaine #buylocal

Good Morning, Bluesky. Many folx in the U.S. had yesterday off, so please forgive us: Fake Monday is a cruel, cruel mistress.

After what seems like forever... Draft one of Haven's Point book 3, Danger and Roxy's queer romance, is done and with alpha readers!! But now... what do I work on next?

god is there any high like that first name drop????

reading how some parents are stressed that kids "pinch and zoom physical books" and "refuse to read or only read books for school" and let me ask these parents a question: Do you read books yourself? Do you read books to your child? Kids read when they see parents read and when they're read to.

Authors, post the last line of dialogue before they smooch. Tears welled in the corners of Roxy’s eyes. “No one’s ever bought me a crystal before.”  Danger cupped her cheeks with both hands. “I would buy you every rock in this store if I thought I could afford it.”  (from Haven's Point book 3)

Authors, post the last line of dialogue before they smooch. “I could just eat…” she whispered, head cocking to the side, “You…” her lips hovered just beyond Pia’s reach, “Up.” (from The Gilded Veil)

What are the Six Genders? Wrong answers only. My standard answer to anything...the cast of the excellent rom-com horror, The Mummy (1999)

Listening to my son play Final Fantasy VIII downstairs (he’s in Dollet): “I don’t like that, I don’t like that, I DON’T LIKE THAT!!” #finalfantasyviii #gamerproblems

happy mother’s day to mother earth 🌎💙

This is a periodic reaffirmation that I do not, and will not, use genAI in the conceptualisation, drafting, writing or editing of my stories and books, and will never use or commission genAI "art" for covers or illustrations. "AI author" is an oxymoron. Avoid prompt jockeys and sloperators.

Hell yeah!! The fics are always so good with this event 💜

Calling all #BarretWallace fans! The time approaches to get this man smooched! Join us July 5-12 for our fifth annual Romancing Barret Week, a multiship week dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating Barret as a romantic partner. Stay tuned for this year's prompt list! #FFVII #FF7 #FF7R

....I bought another American Girl doll this morning. I now own three, plus the vintage Samantha from @runicmagitek.bsky.social that is *technically* my daughter's but I may or may not have claimed as mine too. Is this a problem?

Today our first fur baby, Onyx, crosses the rainbow bridge. She’s told us it’s time to go, though none of us are ready to say goodbye. Rest well, sweet girl. The house is safe now.

‘you repost a lot of books and art’ fuck yeah i do, buy some of it

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

Please ACTUALLY think about supporting small artists and creators when you see them put out work that you enjoy. Sometimes that support will make the difference between whether they make more work for free or not again at all. Support the arts you enjoy.

Last night sketches I did of Lucca and Ayla, wanted to draw them and trying some stuff, I'm about to finish this game! #art

Someone PLEASE talk me out of driving an hour each way to an antique store that *might* have American Girl dolls for sale. I bought my first one secondhand this week and it's like the dam opened. I need them allllllll. I do not have that much money, damn it!
