The more I allow my experiences as a Disabled person to influence my writing- the more it starts to look cone out looking like horror.

I have this file named "Damned with Faint Praise" and I drop in it every kind or complimentary remark an editor ever wrote me about a piece of mine they didn't publish. I almost never look at it, but it's nice to know it's there. #WriteSky

Hey, my story, Prosperity, is in this book! You could call it gothic horror, a meditation on the meaning of safety and home, or just something I wrote I'm proud of sharing with the world. #BookSky

It's here! Roadkill is out in the world. I can't in good conscience recommend it to all readers. A sad and angry book. 90% of the animal characters are dead at the outset & the humans don't fare much better. But if you're in the mood for an unconventional eco-horror experience, links in comments!

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for someone's Patreon, go to a live theater performance, purchase someone's album from Bandcamp. You can also leave a nice comment or write a review.

Definitely me double checking the meaning of a word I "know" as I revise a piece. #WriteSky

My coworker: have you noticed that there's a lot of fiction with witches lately? Me: I HAVE, and that makes me hopeful more people will discover my debut novel, Exit Ghost, which is modern witchy girl Hamlet at the Jersey shore books2read.com/ExitGhost

Probably dialog/strong voice. It's something I really enjoy writing and a professional playwright told me I had an ear for dialog when I was still a teen. For better or worse that compliment has really stuck/shaped me as a writer.

There’s a ton of Covid out there right now. Vaccines are becoming harder to access. The rise of “wellness culture” encourages people to play through the pain. Please mask up. Stay home if you’re sick. Get your booster if you can. Clean the air & open windows. Break chains of transmission. Rest.

I Capture the Shed

You'd think the more you do in a day, the more tired you'd be at the end of it, and the easier it would be to fall asleep. But, if you thought that, foolish mortal, you'd be very wrong.

I've been really productive writing wise these past few months. The feedback I've gotten on the new stuff I've shared has been positive but I'm still highly suspicious of this output. #WriteSky

The suggestions here aren't bad but I feel like they miss the point of the "three pens trick". Swift actually seems to be setting limits and boundaries on her writing. I find that really helps me when I'm feeling stuck or overwhelmed. #WriteSky www.inc.com/jessica-stil...

I won a giveaway from @rosieethor.bsky.social and recently got this beautiful book in the mail. Only a few stories in and I'm very much enjoying it.

I will finally get my act together and give this new story a title today. It may not be the best title of all time, but it will be decent and not horribly embarrassing. #WriteSky

Take what you need: - write the story you'd like to read - write the story that helps you sleep - write the story that keeps you up - write the story they ordered you not to tell - write the story you can never forget

I know we are all scraping the bottom of the financial barrel these days, so even a repost would be greatly appreciated! This happened in my hometown and the little girl has a long recovery and big bills. Even $5 toward her family’s gofundme would be a godsend. Thanks! gofund.me/184e5b80

Mostly, I'd just try and appreciate those early successes better. I think I was too young to fully recognize how amazing and unlikely some of my achievements were at the time. And, make a much better effort to keep in touch with writer friends.

Didn't get a pic but I passed by some anti-Ice graffiti a while back and when I passed more recently it was painted over. Really bothers me that they covered it up, don't they want people to feel safe?

Just finished this, highly recommend. #RecentReads www.simonandschuster.com/books/Harrie...
