any excuse to share my fav wedding photo

how it feels when i have three manuscripts i'm working on and an inbox waiting for submission news, but need to focus on my university assignments first lmaooooo #booksky 📚💙

goshhh i have been SO unwell the past two weeks i haven't even had time to open scrivener, toddler parenting is not for the weak lol #booksky

🔸 last book you read: Chain-Gang All-Stars, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenya 🔸 your current read: Strangers, Taichi Yamada 🔸 last book added to your tbr: Gravity Let Me Go, Trent Dalton 🔸 next read: Babel, R. F. Kuang quote with yours! #booksky

reaaaalllly practising patience by not nudging the agents who have my submission before the date they gave me to do so eeeek #booksky 📚💙

lmaooooo meeeee #hamilton #musicaltheatre

Sooo I need to know: Are my fellow #booksy writers working on multiple manuscripts at once, or do you stick to one at a time? I'm a multi-work writer; I need the variation. I find having time away from work helps with writer's block and gives me plenty of time to let my scenes settle! 💙📚

Also, super late to the party, but I love 'zombie' media. It's never about the perceived threat. #28yearslater exemplifies this: toxic masculinity, false heroes, familial bonds, and generational trauma. Can't believe it took me so long to catch it!

Ok, how did I never think about writing a sci-fi spec fic set in a Victorian-build boarding school when I write sci-fi spec fic... and attended to a Victorian-build boarding school... lmao this is FUN 📚💙 🪐📚 #booksky

bsky.app/profile/ebth... The disability community appreciates you. Eb has great in depth tutorials posted here.

Friendly reminder that bsky has an option to turn on 'alt text' for all images, and it will not let you post until you have popped that in. Very very helpful if you're forgetful like I am, and a quick and easy path to helping the internet be accessible for all :-) #booksky #💙📚

Looking for Alaska. Funnily enough, I remember reading this and thinking they were all tame for supposed 'rebels'. Just goes to show the adult disconnect with how teenagers behave, as it was deemed 'unsuitable' for the age group. Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 6/?

no better feeling than sitting down with an idea and smashing out five chapters of a first draft (8k words!!) in a few hours… if being a mother had prepared me for anything, it’s writing fast whenever I have the time lol #booksky #💙📚

1984: challenged/banned for its political messaging and satirical themes. I might be Australian, but in the spirit of October's American Library Association Banned Books Week, “Censorship is so 1984." Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 5/???

guys pls don't tell me the rumours about there being a tv series of The Picture of Dorian Gray are still true... like BROTHERS????? SIBLINGS????? Oscar Wilde did not go to prison for THIS. Oscar Wilde did not write, "He is all my art to me, now." FOR THEM TO BE BROOOTHERRRS #💙📚 #booksky

noooo way i just found my old laptop... with all my teenage fanfics backed up...... maybe i should bring back the teen wolf x vampire diaries au. kids these days will never understand the hold void stiles had on us #💙📚 #booksky

Just finished this one today. Fascinating, honest and powerful. Banned / challenged for LGBTQIA+ content and considered sexually explicit. Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 4/???

Official review from my brain-rotted father (who I have minimal contact with): "Would be good if it weren't woke trash." So what I'm hearing is: I've done something right! (Distracting myself from waiting for full manuscript responses) #BluePit📖 #BluePit #YA #NA #SF #SP #OV #ND #Q

FOREIGN BODIES is Euphoria X The Last of Us (if it had androids, duh), a YA Crossover spec fic. Found family, wealth disparity, unchecked oligarchs, genetic manipulation, perseverance, science, identity, connection, grief, mental illness & addiction. #BluePit📖 #BluePit #YA #NA #SF #SP #OV #ND #Q

writing a sequel is both ten times easier and ten times harder than writing the first book, idk how to react do i laugh or do i cryyyy #booksky #💙📚

Not them trying to ban ANTI RACIST BABY for: Inflammatory racial and social commentary and illustrations. Going to pick this one up for sure! Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 3/???

Posting banned/challenged books I've read, and their reasons for being banned. 'Slaughterhouse-Five' by Kurt Vonnegut: Offensive language, war depiction, disrespect of political authority and 'emotionally disturbing scenes.' Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 2/???

#UnhingedPit vintage justgirlythings posts that hit way different in the context of my dystopian YA crossover spec fic... i'll let u do the mathhhh <3 #YA #NA #SF #T #Q

Celebrating crawling out of the writing dungeon with a new challenge to myself. I'm going to try to post my favourite books challenged around the world (because Australia is actually pretty good for this). Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks 1/???

I recently had the pleasure of delving into Maus for my academic studies, and I urge everyone to pick up a copy - it's a brilliant and masterful use of the graphic novel as a medium with a poignant message.

They are not even attempting to hide it now. The comparison between modern USA and the Nazi regime of Hitler’s rule in Germany has not, and will never be, just a joke. This is horrifying.

when ur photog friend wants to shoot something coz she’s inspired by ur recently finished book instead of doing the headshots u requested, u say duh yes ❤️

I have been soooo offline... But my writer's block has finally dissipated for the new ending of my novel and I am in the trenches of editing any continuation problems (lol)
