I declare myself queen of Mount Trashmore. #PokemonPokopia #Pokopia

Saw some people doing this. A lot of these were REALLY HARD. FEEL FREE TO JUDGE ME!

Charge a sign-up fee and an annual fee if you make less than $100? Sounds like a GREAT way to compete with Amazon! Great idea, guys.

I spent days re-assembling my ebook manuscript and cleaning up formatting, then doing the same for the paperback version, making it nice and pretty. Now I'm waiting to hear back from my cover designer. What am I supposed to do now? Read and play video games like a nerd? IMAGINE. #writersky #booksky

The new RAM arrived, so my computer is stable again! I pasted what I've written the past two weeks on my BlueTooth keyboard + phone setup into Written? Kitten! Just to check. I got 26 kittens! That's a lot of kittens! Also it's nice to type like a human again... #booksky #writersky

I have been suffering from the dreaded computer issues the past two weeks. Two hard drive failures and busted RAM. Hasn't stopped me from writing! I have Google Docs and a Bluetooth keyboard for my phone. It's not even the weirdest way I've written. I've done it on a Palm Pilot! #writersky #booksky

I have hit an important milestone on Goodreads/Story Graph: 500 books read! 📖 Sure, one of those was my own book, but I say it counts! No one on the planet has read that thing more than I have. I guarantee it! #booksky #bookish #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky

This is such a neat idea!

I had an idea! I left a copy of my book in the little free library at the Glastonbury - Rocky Hill ferry landing. I hope it brings someone joy! (Mine is the blue one with the silver bird on the spine) #littlefreelibrary #lfl #booksky

That accursed rabbit is back. Curse his name! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #ACNH

I got my space opera story settled in at The StoryGraph. If you like sci-fi/fantasy with ecological grounding (those biology and ecology degrees had to be good for something!) you should come check it out! 💙📚 app.thestorygraph.com/books/dc5015... #booksy #spaceopera #indieauthor #TheStoryGraph

Great things to do to support authors who write stories you love, and for fellow authors to support each other!

Today we're going to maybe finish Whisker Squadron! www.twitch.tv/ag_falconsa

From the Capitol Dispatch. Guys, if you're struggling to pay your sky-high rent, did you know the solution is to just make more money? It's so simple! Why didn't I think of that? My fellow CT peeps, please vote this a-hole out! #eattherich #taxtherich #ctpolitics open.substack.com/pub/capitold...

Happy Mario Day and happy 2-year anniversary to my book! (It didn't go live until the 15th but I submitted it on the 10th. I'm claiming it as the anniversary! #booksy #Mar10 www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY4L62QY

Saw something about a review for Monster Hunter Stories 3 and thought wait, it can't be THAT close to release can it?! YES, in fact it can! You can't release two of my most-anticipated games for the whole year within a week! WELP. Sorry, MHStories! You're going to have to take a number! #Pokopia

Pokopia is so much my jam, it is not even funny. My character: I shall call her Squishy and she shall be mine. She shall be my Squishy. Also I felt like a genius for figuring out how to make glass. It's the same way you do it in R/S/E! #PokemonPokopia

This is most definitely the standard I follow. My husband is already in my book's dedication! He has always been supportive of my writing and even helps me edit.

I FINALLY got all the golden tools! Shovel was the holdout. I got the axe earlier this month. It looks worse than it is. I didn't play the 2.0 update very much so I've been on Animal Crossing hiatus. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

Oh my goodness he is the sweetest baby angel! I will name mine Missile! #PokemonDay

Coming up soon, the next entry in my short story collection, Dragon Tales, will go out! This month's story is an ecological fable that teaches about food chains, trophic cascades, and the importance of teamwork. Dragon Tales goes out for free with my newsletter.

When Festivale rolls around, I find it funny to see Julia next to Pavé. I'm glad for Julia though. I'm glad she gets to be her best self. I hope she feels welcome with the flowers, the Pride Flag Park, and Trans Rights Cola merch. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

I write on weekends and I will bang out a page or two at a time. I am not quick, but I'll get there!

I can personally vouch for this game. It's delightful. Play it! You owe it to yourself.

I started Clair Obscur because I have some time between games and this is going to be one of THOSE games huh? Sitting here, ugly crying in front of my computer! This is the second game to make me cry. The first was Undertale. And I'm only in the prologue! Oh boy... #ClairObscurExpedition33

That's what I love about writing. We aren't in competition with each other and anyone who says we are, are trying to divide and conquer, to take advantage of us. Don't listen to them. Two authors can be given the same story to write and come up with two distinctly unique narratives in their style.

Hey if anybody doesn't have anything better to do this lovely Valentine's Day evening than watch a couple nerds be bad at a game, you are welcome to Silver Stream! Today we're doing Whisker Squadron! www.twitch.tv/ag_falconsa

Do vampires celebrate Valentine's Day? Can they even stand each other long enough to maintain a relationship? Find out in Couples Therapy, the revolutionary expansion to Vampire Therapist! (It's cheaper than flowers and chocolate too) store.steampowered.com/app/3320590/...

I am reading Wings of Fire because my nieces like it and I thought it would be a fun thing we could bond over. Reading books aimed at young readers hits different when you're an adult. I feel like these dragons are my children and I want to protect them! #wingsoffire #booksky

I should post about this more. I have a book! A book with dragons in it, and short stories about dragons if you sign up for my newsletter! Dragon stories are inspired by folklore and mythology like ancient Egyptian, Aztec, and Polynesian. Deets on my website christamandler.com #booksky #writersky

I made a catio for Punchy! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

So I write very fantasy-leaning space opera. I call it "space fantasy." I realized I haven't read much space opera. I'm only familiar with Star Trek and Star Wars. The big name that keeps popping up is Firefly, which I have never seen. Time to fix that! Ordered the boxed set with my birthday money!

Omg Phoebe remembers me! That is too adorable. I can't. My heart, I think it's melting! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

Well the snowpocalypse is coming this weekend, apparently, so I gotta get groceries today instead of my usual Sunday grocery run. And we mostly just need milk and bread... so I guess I will be the stereotypical New Englander before a snowstorm!

Ugh, this little park I put behind Resident Services is setting off OCD urges I didn't know I had and I hate it. Why isn't it even? Why can't I MAKE it even?! I've tried everything! Aaaaaaaaaa! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

Nook, PLEASE invest in a debit card machine. Or at least let me write you a dang check! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

All this nice QoL stuff and the Able Sisters STILL have not mastered the arcane art of the shopping cart. My boycott shall continue. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

FINALLY. I've been waiting for this! It was a good year for gaming. #2025YearinReview

Oh my GOD. This quest traumatized me. It's a way too accurate representation of the retail worker experience. I didn't want to relive my days working my way through grad school as a cashier! #PokemonLegendsZtoA

This quest is cute but there should be a special place in hell for developers who program a quest target you have to follow who walks faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed!

I've seen a few posts about it and I guess it's a thing people do? I have never, and will never, set a reading goal. I read what I want, as much (or as little!) as I want. Setting a goal would just make me feel pressured to read, and I don't want that. Reading is supposed to be fun! Happy New Year!

If I were a dragon, my hoard would be books. Here is my to-read list in BOOKFORT form! #readersky #bookworm #BOOKFORT

Just getting the last of my Christmas shopping done... It occurs to me to me to wonder why, in tyool 2025, you STILL can't buy games for other people directly on the Nintendo eShop. The WII had that functionality. They had it right! Why'd they get rid of it? Baffling!

I noticed my ammo count had hit a funny number, then realized my health was close to a funny number, so I spent several minutes wasting ammo and missiles until I could get as many funny numbers as possible. 210 is half of 420! Why yes I am 12, why do you ask? #MetroidPrime4

Silver Stream is up in just a few minutes! Today we're fighting the one, the only, Gogmazios, who I have never met! www.twitch.tv/ag_falconsa

Oh it's that time! Okay Steam, what do you have for me? ... I think we need to discuss why I keep coming back to that janky-ass 20-year-old game... #steamreplay2025

Your choices matter... Especially the one where you snag Vampire Therapist on sale.🧛‍♀ On Steam now!

I have finished all my character spotlights! I might do more book talks. We shall see. Here's the full playlist: youtube.com/playlist?lis... #booksky, #writersky, #characterspotlights
