The only spell I have against hopelessness at the moment is to help community. So if you would like to support Marylanders in need (we have so many federal workers) here's my MD Food Bank fundraiser mdfoodbank.funraise.org/fundraiser/a...

Agents!!! Check out this amazing romcom by my RTM mentee; it's SO GOOD, romcom + Kdrama vibes = the next book of your heart

Hopelessly Teavoted is available for request on NetGalley and Edelweiss!!!!!

I both don't have the time or energy to find people on a new platform AND have seen the social network, one of the most chilling horror films of our time, so here I ammmm

I have two writing modes, hyper fixates and writes thousands of words a day or stares at a blank screen longingly for hours, there is no in between

Music wrap up lists always remind me about discovering that not everyone has a running soundtrack and narration in their head and then I get stuck on the beauty of the brain and its many variations and yes, there’s a soundtrack and lighting to that thought, too

Every time I step away from socials for a little bit, even just a week, I forget completely how to do them

Social media advertising does work well on me and in related news I’m super excited for my ceramic cat menorah to get here

Tis the season! of me putting a hot chocolate packet in my coffee every morning and congratulating myself on coziness

Ok but I have two people I really want you all to meet, however they are fictional, I did make them up completely, and you can’t actually meet them until like next fall

I’m back to dreaming of new romcom plots so that’s a thing RIP my tbw list

Since we are here now (I hope) let’s be friends if you love reading or writing contemporary and speculative romcoms, if you love the Addams family and all things spooky and sparkly and swiftie, and if you know books are inherently political and that abortion access for all is a basic human right💖 😘✨

Reminder that my tactic for answering holiday questions like “oh shouldn’t I write a book instead” or “don’t you think I’d be able to sell my book if you did?” Is absolutely I do. Yes.

'Tis a wonderful time of year to help kids having a rough time feel the love. You can buy gifts for: Children of incarcerated people: vat.angeltreetool.org/cc0893aa-581... Foster kids: www.onesimplewish.org Kids living on Pine Ridge Reservation: www.onespiritokini.org/okini-page/h...

Ok but that picture of the a i bros could literally be a picture of the same dudes in a creative writing workshop who will tell you that you’re unwieldy in your metaphor use and then fade into anonymity while you succeed in writing, so is disruptor another word for a new way to be a mediocre man or?

I’m not sure who else needs this reminder but don’t forget to pin whatever it is that you want to pin on Bluesky, too. Love, someone juggling too many socials always

I always joke that there’s a sock faerie that steals single socks but I just found a child’s sock sitting in the glass sconce of a ceiling lighting fixture and my kindergartener was like oh THATS where it went so I guess I have discovered the identity of the sock faerie 🧚

Ok everyone tell me your favorite comfort romcom book please

here is a little bit of joy: in the spring, I wrote many letters of recommendation for my high school juniors (typically teachers write those in the fall; or at least that's what I've done for the past decade & a half, but I was leaving the classroom, so I wrote them & emailed them to myself). (1/3)

The only drama I want to see writers stirring up is dramatically contacting your reps - I wanna see the same energy that we bring to discourse but for phone calls, emails, and organizing to stop the spread of fascism, go

I have a good feeling about Bluesky (finally) and I’ll take any good feelings at this point so let’s do this 💙

My husband told me a review of one of my books said they dropped a star from their rating because it was "too vulgar" and every time that happens someone somewhere gets to orgasm while screaming profanities and I think that's beautiful 🥹

Hi Bluesky friends! I’m Audrey, and I write books. My debut is an adult Addams Fam x Pushing Daisies witchy romcom, Hopelessly Teavoted, coming fall 2025. I taught HS English for 15 years up until June, and am currently writing & wrangling two small kids, one witchy cat, and one scrappy dog.

Every time I sit down to try to find people here something distracts me so either wait for me friends or say hi directly so I can find you here 💖

LISTEN THIS BOOK IS SO SO SO GOOD, IT'S AUTHOR IS AMAZING, AND I LOVE THEM TOO DEARLY FOR ANY LOWERCASE LETTERS AHHHHHHHHHHH 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

✨HOW IT STARTED // HOW IT'S GOING✨ I'm THRILLED to announce that my debut YA fantasy BOUND BY FURY will be published with S&S in Spring of 2026! I am endlessly grateful for my incredible agent Jenissa Graham at Bookends Lit & DREAM editor Sarah McCabe for making my dreams come true! 🧵 1/11

It’s going to take me a little bit to catch up and find everyone here, but hello (again) blue sky 💖 hope this turns out better than the rest

hello millionth social media outlet I forgot about

NEWS: HOPELESSLY TEAVOTED TO YOU is coming in 2025 My angsty witch & his sparkly neighbor with death powers have the most magical home (outside of Hart Manor). I’m excited to work with Melanie & the team at Atria Books, thanks to my fairy godmorticia agent @evascalzo.bsky.social

time to say that when I can share witchy Addams Fam romcom news (and new commissioned art to go with that news) you’ll be able to make sure you don’t miss it if you sign up for my substack. I’ll post it too if newsletters are not your thing, but just in case they are: audreyruoff.substack.com

Oh no blue sky I didn’t mean to forget you!!! Stay tuned for news soon 👀✨

Supposed to be focusing on the witchy romcom for reasons but also I have a queer dread pirate fantasy and also I have a contemporary Empire records meets Star Wars nerdcom and anytime I hear any of those topics mentioned I am incapable of stopping myself from yelling about them; I have no chill

I’m extra visible today and all my many bi characters are too 💖💜💙🏳️‍🌈

So what are we calling vague tweets over here because I have things happening with the Addams family x Pushing Daisies romcom 👀 vague little cloud?

I saw a draft of pirate book art with color now and it is ✨everything✨

Starting Wednesday of this week with BIG spooky season & “I’d kiss you if it wouldn’t kill me” vibes. Happy Wednesday (Addams) it’s time to stare longingly at art of Hopelessly Teavoted to You, the way Gomez And Morticia would stare at each other. ✨💖🖤✨

this was a really good Monday

Time to admit I’ve been pronouncing this blueskie rhymes with brewskie in my head and not blue sky for whatever reason 💀

I once again forgot about this place why can’t we all just be in one place and billionaires go to a different place so they can’t eff it up for everyone

I feel like olivia rodrigo in bad idea, right is making the exact mistakes I was making in the summer of 2012 so hang in there, olivia, it's gonna get a little worse but then you're right around the corner from simply the best things.

Listening to the hobbit on a road trip and I forgot how much I identify with Bilbo’s made a social mistake better go have some cake vibe

I had so much fun tonight talking about Text Appeal with @amberroberts.bsky.social and if you don’t already have this amazing book, it’s out this week!
