About a week until I send Stars Apart to an editor 👀 So excited to get this project done so I can start working on the sequel to the Tourist soon! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #booksky #writesky

I don't know about everyone else but the last act of any draft always feels like sprint to the finish line. Detail? Character work? No! Those can be added in the edit. I just want to be DOOOONE! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #booksky #writesky

The Tourist has: 👾 Cool aliens 🏳️‍🌈 Queer leads 🚀 Galaxy spanning space opera 🥳 Rebellion uprising 🧬 Fun vibes And it's available on Kindle Unlimited! If you're at all interested in checking out a new scifi series, give it a chance! Book two is already deep in the works 👀 💙🪐📚

As part of punishment for being a shithead last book, I have locked one of my characters into the sewers for the first several chapters of the sequel. I feel like I might be overdoing it with the "crawling through shit" descriptions but im having a nice time. #AmWriting

Today is the last day to pick up my debut novella for free! Itll go back up to $3.99 tomorrow and I've been excited about getting it into as many peoples hands as possible! If "How To Train Your Dragon" featured a cosmic horror and a queer cast, this book is for you! 🌈📚💙📚🪐📚⚔️📚🌈🚀💫

Why did One Battle After Another have to be so good 😭 I really wanted to leave the theater a hater but instead I can't stop thinking about how good it was.

This is crazy :o I know the current sale helps but seeing my book claimed by so many people has been a mooooood. If anyone wants to hop along the hype train and make my day further, the link is in bio! 📚🪐💙 #Writerscommunity #readingcommunity #BookRecommendations #AmWriting #writerslife #booksky

Me and a handful of my fellow Derby authors are putting on a sale with our recently released books! Pick up 6 indie and queer books for FREE! Genuinely a lot of good stuff here and Im excited to get more eyes on them! derbyseptemberbooksale.carrd.co #lgbtq+ #indieauthor #scifi 📚🪐💙

It's been a really fun launch week for my book, and even though I know this isn't really going to be doing numbers, that three different people left reviews on it is making my heart feel things. Thanks everyone who is giving an indie authors debut a chance :,) #indieauthor #scifi #debut 💙🪐

I can't believe I get to celebrate book launch day by being #69 on Amazon's charts! Biggest accomplishment I can think of.

My debut novella The Tourist is out as of today! If How to Train your Dragon but with a terrifying cosmic horror speaks to you at all, this might be up your alley! Thanks to everyone who has given me a chance! geni.us/nQCv1 #booksky #scifibooks #indieauthor #amwriting #goodnews #queerscifi 💙🪐

Finding comps for The Tourist has been an ever increasing struggle. - Murderbot (okay a good start) - Firefly (okay but my memories of Firefly not how the show actually was) - Alien Resurrection (okay but imagine if that movie was actually good--) #indieauthor #scifibooks #amwriting #scifi 🪐📚💙

Hi! I'm Devin Moore, and I'm writing #DesiccatedEmpire, a comedy isekai fantasy novel! Set in the ruins where once an empire stood (now a sandy wasteland) Jos, Chad and Captain are on a journey to find their ship and not get killed by sand monsters! #CoverReveal #WriteSky #WritingCommunity 🪐📚💙 🧡🚀📚

Me: I wrote something cozy, trying to get a feel for the genre. Friend: This is the same story you always write but you just removed capitalism. Me: Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? 😊☕📚 #cozy #amwriting #WritingCommunity

What better way to start off the morning than by finishing up the last of this oolong tea that I can't buy anymore because of trumps stupid fucking tariffs. #tea #amwriting #amediting

Just recieved my last bit of beta feedback for The Tourist! Release is next month and I can't wait! Nervously excited! #amwriting #amediting #scifibooks #writingcommunity

40k on this bad boy and you just KNOW I'm about to rip several thousand out of it next edit. 😂 #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity

I started watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time last night and I am losing my mind that it took me this long to watch. Does anyone have any books that scratch the same itch because Im craving it. 📚🪐💙

Realizing that making one of the main characters in this story a 50 foot tall tentacle monster might not have been the best idea. #amwriting #scifibooks #booksky

I just started reading The Freeze-Frame Revolution after a random recommendation online and I am 👀👀 Do people have other recommendations for some good scifi novellas? #scifi #scifibooks #booksky

It is always interesting seeing real world events flood into whatever my current project is. When I started this project it was just going to be a slice of life Scifi adventure. Now it's about overthrowing an evil space empire 😂 #WritingCommunity #scifibooks #amwriting #scifi #booksky #queerbooks

Having another bout of imposter syndrome. I love that even though I know everyone goes through it, it never gets better. Just keep writing! Don't let the brain worms win! #amwriting #writesky #WritingCommunity #booksky

what if bad at make question?

My absolute favourite moment in a self-edit read-through. "Ah crap, I really need a scene between these two characters to resolve this thing," and then discovering you already wrote it a chapter later.

See before you the natural state of the author. Is that screaming, crying that you hear? No, that is the sound of creativity! And edits :-[ #amediting #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky

In a bold act of rebellion and procrastination, I rearranged my entire living room today. Does it look worse than before? Debatable. Did it need to be changed? Not really. Did I manage to kill a few hours instead of doing something productive? Absolutely!

What are everyone's favorite craft books? I've been rereading some books on editing/showing recently but am craving something new. #WritingCommunity #writingtips #amwriting #amediting

Someone mentioned on my last post that when their writing space gets overwhelming they just go somewhere else. So I brought the laptop on vacation with me for vacation edits! #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity #cozy

How does everyone keep their writing space clean and functional? I know the answer is "Be an adult and clean up after yourself!" but there has got to be a better way! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting #amprocrastinating #writingtips

If you have a 50 foot tall space cephalopod as your best friend, what kind of antics would you get up to? This is... for research purposes only. 🪐📚💙 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #scifi #scifibooks

I've been staring at this page for 15 minutes figuring out what's wrong with this sentence and I just... can't... Who made editing so evil? #amediting #amwriting

#WIPSnips for "Wait"! More from my current projects, edits still ensuing! What would you do if your alien companion left you naked on a deserted island? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Last week I was able to get through the first draft of this pesky sci-fi adventure thing. This week I hope to really make headway into edits and hopefully finish the second draft by the end of the month! #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

AND THATS A WRAP! First draft of The Tourist done at 27k words :) First round of edits incoming. As always, the feeling of getting like... a whole ass story on paper feels so rewarding. Next edit I am going to make them kiss more #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #inkfortpublishingderby2025

Trying to come up with a blurb for this novella and coming to the slow conclusion that I just wrote gay How to Train Your Dragon with aliens instead of dragons. Whoops. 😅 #amwriting #QueerAdultSFF

16k into this zero draft and I juuuuust hit the midpoint. Im thinking, maybe, just maybe, this might end up being novella shaped like I had planned!

Duolingo right now: youtube.com/shorts/hL9pl...

Oh no! Anyways... #amwriting #writingcommunity #wip

Pourover to get the brain going! This feels like a two or three coffee kind of day because the work emails are already piling up ☕😭 #coffee #pourover #wip #cats

How on the nose is it, in a book called "The Tourist," to have the main character look another character in the eyes and say, "Don't mind me, I'm just a tourist." No sunglasses are being worn. High camp or trying too hard? #amwriting #sff #queerssf #writingcommunity

Begging, hoping, kicking, and screaming that this rat mug has the power to propel these words forward and to stop prowritingaid from constantly screaming at me for "passive voice" 🪐📚💙 #amwriting #amdrafting #wip

Currently dealing with the all too real fact that the three day weekend is over, and I have to work an 8 hour shift before putting squeezing more words out of my brain 😭 Maybe nobody will notice if I sneak in a few writing sessions throughout the day 👀 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #amdrafting

Today is the first official day of me writing for the #inkfortpublishingderby2025. I present: The Tourist! Coming September 22nd, 2025. A sci-fi, queer, novella about an alien, its keeper, and the friends we make along the way! #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #scifi
