I accomplished getting over 150 reads on the first episode of my short stories and releasing the second installment of the series which is already at 80 reads! I’m so glad people are reading my work! #fifrevpit #writingcommunity #writersky #writersofbluesky

my daughter said that it looks like he’s about to slap her and now I can’t unsee it 😂. To be fair, he does knock her hand out of the way. I promise it’s more of him being socially awkward than anything else. Read about this disaster of a man here: open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw... #booksky

I started new short story during my writing break 😅 #writingcommunity #writersky #shortstory #authorsky #amwriting

It’s been up for one week today and I reached 100 reads today!!! A huge milestone for me! #booksky #serialfiction #writingcommunity #writingmilestone #authorsky #paranormalromace #urbanfantasy #cozyfantasy open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

Episode two of Short Cuts is now available!!! This episode is full of supernatural creatures, delicious banter, and the first crack in Wells’ grumpy exterior! #booksky #serialfiction #paranormalromance #shifterromance #cozyfantasy #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

My first short story released today and it feels amazing and weird at the same time that people have read my work. It’s out there free for anyone to see. And I just had to go about a normal day with responsibilities. #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

It’s finally time! The first installment has released and is available to read for free on my Substack! #newrelease #releaseday #booksky #urbanfantasy #cozyfantasy #paranormalromance #shifterromance #writingcommunity #booklaunch open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

Meet Kit, the leading lady of Short Cuts! She’s a fox shifter with a dark past and a sunny disposition shaking things up at the butcher shop! #booksky #amwriting #writingcommunity #paranormalromance #cozyfantasy open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

I cannot believe I’m about to have a story available for people to read soon 😳. It’s not perfect, just a fun free story to stretch my writing muscles and expand the world building on my main novel, but I’m proud of it and hope people will enjoy it as much as I do 🥰 #booksky #writersky #amwriting

I cannot believe release day for the first installment of my serialized novella Short Cuts come out on the 28th! Here’s an in depth look at the story’s main character! open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

For the first time I’ve underwritten something. How novel 😅

I’ve been feeling really down about posting on social media lately, but I have a plan! open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

Now that summer is nearly over it’s time to get back on track! In this week’s article I’m sharing my monthly writing schedule and my deadlines for the year! #writersky #authorsky #substack #aeontimeline #writingdeadline open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

It’s been a while, it feels so good to have another 1000 word day! #writersky #writingcommunity

Today I’m teasing my short stories that are going to be released in fall of 2025 open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

Being a writer and a dreamer means one minute I’m writing and the next I’m searching the internet for custom mugs because “wouldn’t it be cool if I had a mug with the logo of the shop I just made up?” #writingcommunuty

Finally posting on my Substack again! Check out this article about what ive been up to this summer! open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw... #3day30k #1000wordsofsummer #writingcommunity #substack #booksky #aurhorsky

Love when I leave myself helpful little notes for future edits…😒 #writingcommunity

As an artist I’ve been dealing with a heck of a lot of self doubt when it comes to my digital art lately. I’m rusty and not confident in my art style. I go through bouts of loving my art but I don’t feel like it’s good enough to promote my writing. #artcommunity #digitalartist #writingcommunity

Honestly couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a whole emoji scene. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I bit the bullet and finally made an author account on TikTok. Do I know what I’m going to post yet? No. But did I think it wise to at least claim my name? Yes! What kind of bookish videos draw you in? #booksky #booktok #writersky www.tiktok.com/@ashleytwrit...

I’m having such a hard time letting go of this scene I just deleted from my draft. It was fun but didn’t serve the plot. 😩 #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity

How it feels having wasted two days of writing time only to realize it wasn’t moving forward the plot. Goodbye 2k words I guess. #bookediting #selfediting #fortheplot #writersky #writingcommunity

Feels nice to accomplish this while the sun is still up! Let’s see how much I can get done the rest of the day! #writersky #writingcommunity

You know how you think you know what a word means then you look it up and you were only partially right? I had a character sidling up to a bar but after seeing the definition I switched it to the given antonym. This character is more direct. #bookediting #writingcommunity #authorsky #booksky

Yesterday I reread the ending of my book and realized it wasn’t total hot garbage and now I’m confused if I can salvage bits of it instead of scrapping the whole thing. #writersky #selfediting #writingcommunity #authorsky

Late night check in! I’m down for the day and got 1079 words in! #1000wordsofsummer

Back to writing after taking care of my mom who just had surgery! Got a quick 610 before dinner! Hopefully I’ll be back tonight to finish up! #1000wordsofsummer #writersky

Adding in a maybe necessary chapter somewhere in the middle of my already overlong novel! Hoping this pays off! #bookediting #1000wordsofsummer #writersky

Writing about real places be like #writingcommunity #writingresearch #writersky#authorsky

Found this tracker plugin so I don’t have to keep calculating my word count everyday! Met my goal while the sun is still up. A rare win! #1000wordsofsummer

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth, I’ve spent the past few days alpha reading for my writing group so let just say I went through 15k words since I finished my draft.

“I FINISHED MY DRAFT!!!” The writer screaming silently into the void! 563 words was all it took! Tomorrow is and editing day. #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #1000wordsofsummer

#1000wordsofsummer update! Yesterday I wrote 770 words but I’m also stuck at the end of my draft! I could not figure out how to end it so I’ll think on it today and hopefully finish up this draft. Next project is getting back to editing my novel!

Calling it a night! Is it technically well after midnight? Yes! Am I counting it toward yesterday’s word count goal? Also yes! 1093 words down for the #1000wordsofsummer #midnightwriter

Starting at 5218 words in my shorts story today but I need to edit some of the dead storylines I wrote before I found what I wanted to write. Some bits can be salvaged others are for the trash. Hopefully by the end I’ll have something story shaped! #1000wordsofsummer

Day 2 of #1000wordsofsummer down! Had a late start but was able to buss this out in about an hour collectively.

6:30pm, no words written, it’s not looking good but maybe I can tap into that 3 day 30k energy to try and meet today’s 1000 word count goal?

Starting word count for #1000wordsofsummer 3107 on my short story WIP. I’m doing a bit of a rewrite so we’ll see how this ends for today!

Guess who joined a new writing challenge? Me! Today I’m starting #1000wordsofsummer hosted by @jamiattenberg.bsky.social . I’m going to continue working my short story and then get back to editing my novel! #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #authorsky #writersky

Finally got back to writing last night! Just about 2k words in my short story. This one’s a little difficult to write due to it being a tie in to a book I haven’t written yet so it was like working on two projects at once. #writersky #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky

My husband trying to decipher the fragmented sentences and maniacal laughter as I explain my next book idea. #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky

Rare author sited out in nature. Sources say she nearly fainted from heat and twisted her ankle but got good research for her next story. #authorsinthewild #writingcommunity #writersky #booksky #authorsky

Rules & hashtags for you to get your pitches put together. Remember we start midnight EDT tomorrow. If you need a conversion I'm happy to put that up & answer any questions you have. If you're new I'm also happy to explain how this process works & how to put your pitch together.

The worst part about writing interconnected standalone books and stories is managing the timeline! I’ve spent the past 20 minutes flipping between outlines, my master timeline, a calendar, and digging around my own mind trying to line things up #writersky #writingcommunity #authorsky #writerproblems

I’m only a few days from having some free time to get back to writing

Ugh I couldn’t stop myself. Guess I’m starting on episode three of my short stories. Going to go at a normal pace though 😅 #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #booksky #shortstories #paranormalromance
