Some boys skipped class to see the Beatles. Ringo Starr snapped a photo of them. 50 years later, the group recreated the photo.

All too often, writers are expected to work for nothing, not even expenses. This isn't right. @catherineczerkawska www.catherineczerkawska.co.uk/2026/04/payi...? #writingcommunity #writinglife #authorlife #publishing

“There is someone in our house.” And it’s probably not who you expect. Read the rest of @eleanorlennox.bsky.social’s story at @smallwondersmag.com

Instead of using my phone: 1. On Norway Taskmaster they mentioned spice drawers. We got VERY inspired and made one for all of @gooutsidetoday.com's spices. 2. Donated blood for the first time in my life. 3. Did ridiculous scenes with my improv team. 4. Took photos of pigeons with compact camera.

Small Wonders is one of my favorite online magazines. It costs half the price of a latte per month, and the beautiful language and cozy bite-sized stories and poems bring ten times the enjoyment as that overpriced coffee drink. Check them out, you won't be sorry.

Hey! Contract's signed, so I'm happy to say I have a new short story coming to @clarkesworldmagazine.com. "Our Revels Now Are Ended." A guy who might not be real interrogated by a guy who might not be real in a library that might not be real. Happy to return and looking forward to sharing this one.

I've always boggled that writers are expected to speak in public, yet get basically no support for learning to do so. So I cheer on Jackie Kessler and Emily Sachs, who are holding a free demo for a writer-specific Toastmasters club Sunday, April 19th: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Someone on YouTube just suggested that my videos are AI... Like..... WTF? I am not that shiny LOLOLO

'Written with the sensitivity and narrative elegance one might expect from a storyteller of Arnopp’s calibre, this novel offers a portrait of Marguerite of Anjou that is both vivid and compelling, steeped in atmosphere yet driven by character.' #Review http://mybook.to/mhhnf

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today, like starting a rumour about a terrifying & beautiful creature who haunts the forest north of town, and then becoming the reason that rumour is true.

Y’all, I did it! I was up until 2am last night 😅 but the book boxes are all packed up and ready to go to the post office tomorrow. I also made my word goal! Wasn’t sure if I could do it but 3k words penned. In between ✍🏼 sprints, I did my son’s Easter basket and hid the eggs 😂 #WriteSky #WriterLife

Hey to all my Creator friends out there: Ya might want to check your Adobe subscriptions before the next billing cycle.

My view today while reading An Honour and a Privilege, in a park with lush grass, shady trees and the white noise rush of a gurgling stream.

Always interested to see what @ivygrimes.bsky.social is up to. A feeling of cult and occult. Mundane and mystical. Seems in conversation with Blaubert Mansion and Star Shapes. An eerie American microcosmic apocalypse and a spiritual (but not religious) coming of age. I give it 2 out of 2 cellars!

What are 5 books you’ve read & loved that you sometimes feel no one else has? 1) The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill 2) Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman 3) A Magical Girl Retires by Seolyeon Park 4) Space Unicorn Blues by T.J. Berry 5) Winter Harvest by Ioanna Papadopoulou

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

‎"Leshy in the city sewers, kikimora in the attics. Warsaw is rampant with ancient pests, creatures which have crawled out of history & have no way back. Centuries of war & strife have tracked in demons from East & West, Slavic and Germanic & Baltic, like mud on the bottom of boots." This is great!

I have never used AI for this and would not know how to begin.
