Speaking of... residents of North Somerset should respond to the libraries funding consultation currently running. n-somerset.inconsult.uk/connect.ti/L... Three of our smaller regional libraries are at risk of closure, as are services at some of the others.

Can confirm. #librarians #booksky

I haven't been very active on social media this year due to health issues. Still alive though! Hope everyone is doing okay. Tell me something fun or cool from your 2025.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Today I used algebra to solve a graphic design problem Be careful out there kids, math will get you when you least expect it

Bore da a Nadolig Llawen from Nantymeillion! It's damp and not especially festive at the moment, but the chickens are singing happily. Sut dych chi?

It has become something of a tradition for me to share "Christmas Dinner for One" at this time of year. You can read this festive short story on my website. chrisseyharrison.com/christmas-di... Merry Christmas! #shortstory #Romance #meetcute #christmasstories

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

Learning from the masters.

I have a big ask from our local partner shelter. Beautiful, sweet blind cat Helen has had three approved adopters, but when the time comes to take her home, none of them have showed up. Can we find Helen a loving home at last? She’s been there since she was a baby! www.petfinder.com/cat/helen-71...

Someone ordered a signed copy of my book through my website to be shipped to someone else, and this tiny thing has made my whole damn year 🥰🥰🥰

Season's greetings! #flu

My friends at @hellboundmedia.bsky.social are re-launching an omnibus/collection of their early #MandyTheMonsterHunter comics. "Monsters Under The Bed" Family friendly fantasy horror comic, funding now on #Kickstarter with 3 DAYS TO GO!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hel...

Wrote 1500 words this morning. I think that earns me a nap. That's how it works, right? #writingcommunity

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

I've been taking a little break from my WIP while it's with my beta readers. Today I started working on a new short/novelette with the same characters. It's a fully formed plan of an idea, so I'm hoping to bash out a draft fairly quickly. It's about a haunted bus stop🚏 #amwriting #writingcommunity

It may be the tail end of spooky season but there's still a chance to pick up some spooky and supernatural reads. This collection of 40 titles from indie authors invites you to explore the unusual... books.bookfunnel.com/exploretheun... #Bookpromo #Bookfair #paranormal #ebook #horror

Love this. I'm going to call them ickles from now on. Even the really big ones.

I got nothing done this evening because I had a cat sat on me. Hey, I don't make the rules 🤷‍♀️

You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.

Thank you everyone who is following us! We make both #horror & #darkfantasy #comics! We hope you'll take a look at our new comic on kickstarter, a great introduction to the world of #MandyTheMonsterHunter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hel...

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

I have a tendency to remember the critiques of my work over the praises, so my new practice is to write down all the positives on sticky notes and tape them on my computer so I literally HAVE to look at them. #writingcommunity

This is John. She got stuck in a drainpipe. Even the Daily Mail briefly pointed out that John is female, then used she/her with no issue... which proves people DO understand preferred pronouns and can handle someone with a traditionally male name using she/her. www.google.com/amp/s/www.bb...

#writingcommunity #romancelandia #historicalromance #maps Anyone writing historical romance based in London? This is a vital resource. I've probably spent hours gazing at the Charles Booth poverty maps when I should have been writing! 😍 booth.lse.ac.uk/map

Oh good grief... how many new followers 😮 Thanks, folks! 🥰 I will try to check everyone out and follow back.

Reading the article, the group will charge people $5k to run an "AI" spell check on their manuscript, slap some "AI" art on the cover and then shove the book out of the door. It's a vanity press. Who was gullible enough to fund this?

Can you tell I'm signed off from work? I've been here all day with too much time on my hands. I've set up a new starter pack just for genre reviewers. If you would like to be added, drop me a comment below go.bsky.app/MAvbpEq

I'm running a bookbinding workshop at #FestivalOfStories in #Bristol on Saturday. If you'd like to have a go at making your own sewn pamphlet and learn a bit about the tools and materials and how you can get started binding, check it out... www.eventbrite.com/e/1045391252...

Couldn't help but laugh at this response... thanks for drawing to our attention @garyerskine.bsky.social Hellbound Media supports real artists and writers.

Anyone else ever feel like they should stop reading while drafting because otherwise your writing becomes inadvertently influenced? I'm constantly like "oh, so this character does x - what if my character did y??" And like, it's not even the same GENRE, Brain. Please stop! #writingcommunity

Side by side radiator beds! This is the first time this winter that I've seen them using both. We washed the one on the left, and they've refused to sit in it until now. That's Maple on the right, Pecan on the left. #catpics

My 8 year old, Otto, just presented me with this short story. Great plot twist!

Let's talk about peeing in space. Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space. www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/s...

This whole starter pack thing has triggered a whole new life goal and craving for validation 😳 The day I get included in a starter pack is the day I'll know I've made it! 😆 #writingcommunity

Start of a new Starter Pack, this time for literary events. If you are one or know of one on Bluesky, please let me know. 💙📚 #BookSky go.bsky.app/PHw99bS

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

While napping, I had an amazing narrative dream. Adventure, romance, cool sci-fi. A bestseller for sure. Even while I was dreaming, I thought "when I wake up, I need to write this down." Now I'm awake, can I remember enough to write down a semi coherent idea? Of course not. #writingcommunity

Leading up to Christmas is a time that indie businesses make the majority of their income for the whole year If you want to support indie bookshops there's a growing list/directory at www.indiebookshops.com

More using up scraps and off cuts today with tiny book keyrings. I'm still refining the method, but I think these came out pretty cute. #bookbinding #crafting

This is why I use 'discovery writer'. 'Pantser' puts my teeth on edge!
