Just casually listening to The Dark Tower book VII while working this morning. What the hell @stephenking.bsky.social ! Why you gotta do that to two people back to back! 😢

ela-literary-magazine.squarespace.com/prompt-spotl... @elalitmag.bsky.social has put my second story up in the magazine, please go and check it out and enjoy. This is the first time I've ever written in First Person. It turned out well, I think. #writing #author #Indie #shortfiction #booksky

I can't wait to see what stories made it this issue!

I am humbled, once again, that my work connected so strongly with the lovely folks at ELA.

Check out the magazine, they have some interesting prompts on there.

Can't wait to see the great authors that made it this time.

Pick up the nearest book. Open to page 42 and post your second sentence. Add #page42 and include this rule as a reply. "I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them." -Issac Asimov "The Genre Writer's Book Of Writing Prompts & Story Ideas," by The Mayday Writing Collective.

Signed, With Regret. A harrowing and horrific short story inspired by a writing prompt from the lovely people over @elalitmag.bsky.social which should have been my submission for this month's call, haha. Will send it to you guys today sometime. It's 1 am. Zzz. #writing #shortstory #authoringlife

@elalitmag.bsky.social POV: You ignited a creative fire haha

One of the hardest things about writing and submitting is the query letter. If you're a new author to the world of publishing you might feel lost or unsure of how Query letters should go or sound. Check this out. authorspublish.com/lectures/fre... #WritingTips #Author #Writing #Publishing #booktok

This is a great idea :)

Emma has an exciting new supernatural thriller to share with you all, the prologue to an old novel-in-progress! You can find her story on our website: ela-literary-magazine.squarespace.com/emmas-wips/m... #NewStory #GetPublished #LiteraryMagazine #ShortStory #SupernaturalThriller

Isn’t it crazy that Twisted Kingdom was published nearly 3 months ago? The final story to shout out is The Last Watcher by Dave Horn, an amazing story to end on! Read it here: ela-literary-magazine.squarespace.com/read-ela #LiteraryMagazine #ShortStory #TwistedKingdom #WritingCommunity #Writers

I don't know if the American President understands tariffs, even after so long in use. Threatening to tariff a country doesn't make things more expensive in the country you are threatening. It makes it more expensive in your own country... #epstienfiles #releasethem #thoughts

1-Well that was a strange writing experience. I was suddenly struck with an all consuming urge to open a file, title it, and start writing a book I've been thinking about for a few months now. At first I thought I was writing a prophetic opening dream of the protagonist. #StoryTime #Writing #Writer

Nice to see the crew over at ELA Literary expanding their scope! They are great editors, just go and check out the free eZine.

www.cnn.com/2025/12/16/p... As an ex- Canadian Armed Forces Member, this disgusts me. Regardless of who we are working for during our time as Soldiers, we still deserve the benefits that we put our lives on the line for during and after service regardless of what we think or say. #freeamerica

New year, same reading tastes? Something I’m bringing into 2026 is my love of mermaid literature, which is why Nicholas’ story is a great place to start your January reading off! Read Twisted Kingdom here: ela-literary-magazine.squarespace.com/read-ela #WritingCommunity #Writers #BookSky #Fiction

Hey America, you know your Military just attacked a Venezuelan Military Base from air, right? Like a half hour ago. How is this being allowed to happen by your governments checks and balances right now... #wakeup #america #nokings

I saw Christopher Columbus' tomb today in Seville... I felt disgusted at the description of his exploits. He was not a bridger of two worlds. He killed one world to make room for another... #colonialism #thoughts

Thank you so, so much to everyone who has submitted! We were so hopeful that our second issue would receive the same love and enthusiasm as our first! Happy New Year, everyone! #WritingCommunity #BookSky #RomanceWriters #SMUT #SubmissionsClosed

Imagine being the Commander and Chief of the whole Russian Military, starting a war on another country, killing thier people, then you start to cry when you alegedly become a war target by Ukraine. What exemption does he have that he shouldn't be a target in the war he started. Pathetic. #thoughts

This #thought kind of hit as I lay here in the bed of my hotel room in Spain, staring at its plain white ceiling. I remembered a time when I was at a sleepover with one of my best friends. We played lego, ate hotdogs, and watched rented movies It was the last sleepover we ever had. #HappyNewYear

I'm Hyperfixated on Kate Bush right now... someone please throw me a tow line or something.

I saw a CNN article or something a few minutes ago saying something along the lines of "There is evidence Putin is trying to re-establish the USSR." Like, no shit, we have all literally known that since he took Crimea, Georgia, and Kazakhstan. Now where's the full set of #epstienfiles #releasethem.

❄️ A Mother’s Christmas Carol ❄️ ✍️ Emma’s new story is really in the holiday spirit, though it is just as dark and thoughtful as her other pieces! ✒️📚 ela-literary-magazine.squarespace.com/emmas-wips/a... #LiteraryMagazine #ShortFiction #ChristmasCarol #WritersCommunity #DarkFiction #BookSky

#ITWelcomeToDerry season finale was on tonight. I watched it, and though I held my doubts on how good the series would have been, they surprised and delighted me. I will probably write a thing about it on my blog in the next couple days. @stephenking.bsky.social left the story in good hands. 🐢

Comments on this are spot on, those who tell the rest of us to stay out of American politics are the ones who want the propaganda machine to succeed within their country. They want to live in an echo chamber that doesn't listen to reason, equity, equality, or sense. #Thoughts #NoKings #FreeAmerica

This will be me in Spain in a couple weeks ❤️ can't wait to gather insight for new stories here. #writingcommunity #authorofbluesky #thoughts

This is a great question. I think, for me, I struggle bridging the middle and final act. I get hung up half way through a story and have trouble deciding how I proceed to whatever ending is meant to be written.

I've been watching "It: Welcome To Derry" religiously over the last few weeks. I am pretty good at pegging whats going to happen in a storyline of shows and movies these days. This show, completely different. It's piqued my interest and not much does that in the cinema space now a days #thoughts

Hey guys, want to know something insane I found out today while writing something: In 2023, there were 46,728 gun deaths in the US At the whole Siege of Bastonge in World War 2, 48,000 soldiers died, combined, from all sides... let that sink in. #fixamerica #America

Seasons come and go/ Moments fleeting like a breeze/ Time, forever flows. Haiku are my favorite types of poetry, they are simple, yet carry so much depth. Not to mention they are hard to write. The beauty they hold is something trancendant. #poetrycommunity #haiku #nature #naturewriting #poetry

Im glad ELA is getting attention and great job to all the authors who are putting thier work out there for the magazine can't wait to read the work chosen. #WritingCommunity #RomanceWriters #Spice #DarkRomance #Writers #ShortStory

Hello everyone, I've been working a little while on this, and I'm finally able to share it with you. I have made a hardcover edition of my short story collection. You will notice its slightly longer than the softcover, thats because I added some things to it. #publishing #indie a.co/d/3ObObza

With the opening of our second round of Submissions, we thought we'd post a little blog about our experience of starting the magazine, launching our first mag, and the planning of our second issue! Link is in our bio! #blogpost #literarymagazine #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I've been very anxiously waiting for this announcement haha.

1- I would like to talk about something that made me mad today. I was watching the Rememberance Day ceremony, as I do every year. Some of you might know I did a few years in the Canadian Armed Forces, so I make it a point to either attend or watch it on stream. #Rememberance #Veterans #VeteransDay
