I think we’re all exhausted of being told our work only matters if it gets thousands of readers. Every time I tell someone I'm a writer they joke and ask if I'm a best seller yet, and that really hurts.

Small life update, today I started working with @story-forge.bsky.social, helping with their site's design. I was looking for some new design work recently and while this isn't a permanent solution for me (it's part-time), I'm really excited to be able to help out with this project.

You're telling me you love indie authors and don’t own Voices Like These, a collection written by TWENTY OF THEM?? Make it make sense.

Reading Voices Like These is like walking into twenty different dreams, and every single one asks: “Can you hold this emotion for me?” And you do. …and it changes you a little. #booksky

20 opportunities to fall in love with a story. You want a story that’ll wreck you? It’s in there. You want something funny and unhinged? It’s in there. You want queer joy, parenthood pain, unsettling horror, emotional gut-punches? IN. THERE. Why are you still reading this. Go get it!!!

A writing challenge made for real people with lives, jobs, and maybe three different WIPs fighting for attention 👀 Write 30k words in November. That’s it. And you can even start prepping with us! Check out our official Writing Circle at storyforge.com/30kin30days  #booksky

No one warns you that publishing an anthology will make you feel like a sleep-deprived librarian with twenty beloved children, all screaming in different genres. (Please buy the book, I love these authors and they deserve all the love in the world) #booksky

The support we have had so far for Voices Like These is so overwhelming, thank you all so much for supporting us and our authors!! If you haven't gotten a copy yet, what are you waiting for? 👀 We even have the e-book at a discount right now at https://storyforge.com/anthology 🤭 #booksky

🚨 Big news! 🚨 StoryForge 2.0 launches TOMORROW at 12 PM CT (1700 UTC)! We’ve been working on this new version for nearly a year, and we can’t wait for you to see it. What are you expecting to find in the new version? 👀

Remember that your story is unique and shouldn’t be confined to a word count!! With that being said, knowing about story lengths is useful if you want to submit them for publications. So let's talk about them! #booksky

We talked about villains in today's Preptober workshop, so let's have some fun with a writing prompt! 👀 What did you do to become the villain in this persons story?! Let us know in the comments! Remember you can find our Preptober calendar at https://storyforge.com/preptober-2025  #booksky

We’re just days away from the release of Voices Like These!!  This anthology has been months in the making, and it wouldn’t exist without our 20 authors, our scouts, the wonderful team that worked behind the scenes to make it a reality and, of course, YOU! 💖 #booksky

Yes to this. Drop your favorite indie support spaces so more folks can find their people ✨

I know this isn’t our usual kind of post, but with how stressful life can get, it felt important to pause and remind you of this: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to be alone. You don't have to do everything by yourself. Being indie doesn't mean isolated #booksky

I think we've all done it at least once, right? 😪 I get it, it's so tempting to just pile all the descriptions in the mirror, that way we don't have to worry about them! But it's tiring and overwhelming when overdone, and also let's be honest, no one remembers those 😔 #booksky

Let's play a game! Imagine you're trapped in a fictional world, what would your story be about? You'll have to base it on: The last digit of your phone number Your birth month The clothing you're wearing So... What is it? 👀 And now that you know it, what are you doing next? #booksky

Not me showing off Draft like boys show off their cars 🤭 But isn't he absolutely adorable? He's perfect for sitting on your lap while you write the next masterpiece or chill with your favorite book. We love him in this house, and now you can ADOPT YOUR OWN DRAFT THE CAT! At storyforge.com/store 😎
