Tiana Clark is really hitting the spot 👌 #booksky #poetry

So my husband can drop all the Pokémon evolutions at any given moment, but EYE talk about the Wild Hunt inspired post-apocalyptic Western novella and I'm the weird one got it 👍

Started reading Artemis by Andy Weir (whose other books I've loved) Icks so far: - clear case of FMC-written-by-a-man-itis - FMC casually throws out that she's apparently from Saudi, surely this won't come back to haunt us later - how many times can you tell us how glass is made #booksky #scifi

I'm hungry for poetry

Wrote a bad poem so I'm counting it as progress

Forgot about nano 2.0 so guess who's already behind 🤪 #writesky

I am a prologue truther

Btw if we're moots and you see me cross posting here and on X, please know that I have a very limited amount of original ideas and need to milk every single one

I've realized I just have a fear of writing after so long because I don't think I can anymore

I finally have the energy to write but idk WHAT to write 😭

My apologies for calling baseball boring, it's actually the best sport to play in the background while you read

Maybe my reading slump is because my purpose for reading has changed

Okay I think a realistic writing goal is research in October for "nano" prep

Everything I've learned about the new TS album had been against my will and I think you all should go stream THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! instead

Word on The Street Lit Festival <3

repeating the phrase "full books" as I slam my head against my desk until I pass out

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

The one thing I had going for me as a desi girl was NOT being iron deficient but it seems I am actually like other girls 😭

just finishing up katabasis but if you liked it for its academic approach to whimsy, might I suggest the Mad Sisters of Esi? And if you liked it for the magic and academic aesthetic, might I suggest Blood Over Bright Haven?

I'm getting that itch to submit again for the first time in almost a year 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Mayhap I have an interview coming soon 👀

Since it's been a while since I've connected here, let me clarify: empathy for the yt dude but not all those he spewed rhetoric against and actively harmed with his platform is yt supremacy and is not welcome here

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

I squealed when I saw this and had to take a seat on the stairs to read it. My novella has a review in Strange Horizons!!

Hello hello gonna try and get back to using this app more consistently as I restart my writing journey <3

Something to be said about finally being in the mindset to create again

patterns patterns circles reflections life is a cycle unto cycle

Remember when writers didn’t use AI and instead just stole their wife’s work and claimed it as their own?

Bad news: I haven't had time to write Good news: I got married!

respectfully, karaoke on public transit should be banned before 8 am

Everytime I get on the subway I see the ad for the Outsiders Musical and I am SO incredibly tempted 'cause I remember loving the book in middle school

Two books in two days who am I

Okay I have like five versions of this poem and idk if I like any of them 😭

Might lose aura points for writing poetry on a tablet but I feel soo much better about crossing things out and being messy when I know it's not permanent lol

Defending stupid wealth just because it's attached to a woman doesn't make you a feminist btw

👾le poisson Steve👾 ✨️ahhh✨️

I'm going through my Notes app and some of these are actually still good??

Did i read The Chosen and the Beautiful? No. Did I still thoroughly enjoy Don't Sleep with the Dead? Yes. I'm sure it would've been more hard hitting if I had but it was still super strong as a standalone and Nghi Vo's worldbuilding NEVER misses so go read it April 8th :) #booksky #arcreader

Nghi Vo <3

How do you write a love poem with a normal amount of yearning
