Merry Christmas week! I wrote and recorded a short story for the season (it's only a little creepy, I swear, lol) It'd called The Christmas-time Thief. Hope you enjoy 😁 youtu.be/bNBVaJtWPQM #christmas #shortstory #sff

So once upon a time I published my first short story! A few years have since passed, the awesome online magazine in question has alas ceased publishing, and I thought I'd put it out in audio. Enjoy! 😁 youtu.be/kRDr9y3J0zw #writing #shortstory

So... I may have written a silly song, a sea shanty of sorts, about an idiot who meets Davey Jones.🤣 Enjoy 😁 youtu.be/ehRt3eXs0fU #youtube #song

May the 4th be with you, so the 5th may fear your light 😁 #starwars

"Show don't tell" is not a writing rule #writing #writingtips #writingcommunity #stories

I usually make a bunch of nerdy/dumb jokes on youtube shorts, and thought I'd try something a bit longer. So here's 'when films go multiverse!' 😁 youtu.be/8crJ3nEkHJ4 #nerdy #multiverse #lordoftherings #pokemon #films

I'd just like to wish a very merry Pi day to those in the only earthly country who writes their date without regard for chronological order. 😁 You crazy kids, never stop being irrational. #piday

5 years ago today, Friday the 13th, March 2020, I chose to leave animation, after becoming so burnt out that, honestly, to this day I'm not entirely over it. (Dw, im fine) Roughly a week later the world collapsed, and things just kinda kept getting strange from then on. 1/

No one is signing this... I know people feel like petitions are useless, but they do at least reflect sentiment. Once they've taken away our right to surgical treatment, they'll move on to others. Maybe your healthcare?

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Happy Valentines to those who celebrate, A gracious Friday to those who don't, And a genuine "...how did you get there?" to that spider you haven't noticed yet. May today be a joyful one all round 😁 #valentines

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Teamwork! #comedy #skit #greekgods

87. I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but I still recommend The Sad Bastard Cookbook for those who cannot or cannot bring themselves to cook. Free ebook, paid print book! traumbooks.itch.io/the-sad-bast...

For that person in your life who just needs to No.

I just made my first feeds!! I made one for Animation Art and one for Animal Art. If you could give them a 💜 it would really help them be found by more people 🥰

Hello! I'm Deanna, illustrator and designer for animation! I'm new here, I'd love if you could help me find my people 💜 #illustration #art #characterdesign #digitalart #animation #animalart #petart #drawing

A Villain's true weakness

Just got a rejection. :( Had some feedback! :) Mentions the ending (so read all the way through!) :D They didn't like it. :( Still, personalised rejection, thats a thing!! 😁

My haunted doll story is out in the world!! Thanks so much to @castofwonders.org for giving this little one a home 😁

Me: follows a load of awesome writers and artists A bunch of those awesome people: *follows me back* Me: Oh! Right...uhh, h-hi! Hello there, yes, umm... *Hides* lol (Making bsky feel actually kinda awesome though. Thanks 😁)

New followers, hello there! I should introduce myself! I'm Alex, I'm a writer, voice actor, traveller of places, and creator of random things! Mostly I have a youtube channel (Traveller of places) and the odd short story about. (Hopefully more soon!) Also It's kind of awesome to see bsky growing :)

Remember: Books are important. YOUR books are important. YOU are important. The work of authors and artists is potentially the greatest weapon we have against fascism. (They know it, too - why else would they try so hard to ban books, restrict access to libraries, and on and on?)

Writers: repost a random story that you're proud of. I still really like 'Shine' and my little star who just wanted to go home. I was ecstatic when it finally found a place 😁 www.hearthandcoffin.com/post/shine

I am grateful I moved to Bluesky early on. Twitter was my home, and hard as it was to face it, it was being set on fire. Bluesky has been the best of the apps ever since, with its focus on text and its wide reader community. It has its flaws, but I'm glad it's here.

So we want to launch a sci-fi fantasy press 📖🐉🛸 COOL. But like…how? 🤔 Read the interview w our Publisher @kercoby.bsky.social for ALL the deets, incl: 🌳 Genres we crave 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 Breaking lit fic/SFF barriers 📈 The road to success 🤝 Resisting capitalist publishing Scroll for the 🔗 & 🧵

Hey writers! You know how Harry Potter never rreeealllyyy leaves the discourse, even with all its problems? I wanted to sharpen my skills, so for a video I thought I'd learn how to fix them. Maybe it's useful to you too? youtu.be/HSL4lrQYz7Q

The blue butterfly of legend has at last landed upon my phone! Kinda like it :) (Does this mean we can call posts 'flaps', or 'flutters', or something?)

We sent our time travellers INTO THE FUTURE and they've brought us back footage from the end of days! I bet a reaction video is a good idea, right? youtu.be/bpxWBdVnOWE

I find social media fits in 2 camps 1: I made a thing. Here it is. (Eg Youtube video essays, tiny twitter stories, etc) 2(Much more common): Here's my thoughts/conversations/life I dont know about anyone else, but I am LEGIT TERRIBLE AT THE 2ND 🤣 (Not great at the 1st either lol, but still trying)

November. The Christmas forces have already claimed half the radio ground. Pop music fights valiantly, with cavalry rides from the lords of rock Presenters are allied with the enemy. Cowards... Efforts to change channels have failed. There are no signals. Sanity is low Santa Claus is coming to town

Tis Guy Fawkes night, so I couldn't NOT record that old poem in as moody a method as possible, now could I? 😂 youtube.com/shorts/lLzbu...
