IDK if this is a hot take or not, but I think the scariest horror is the kind that's deeply, uncomfortably kind to its characters. You can't dread losing something you don't love. #horrorsky P.S. Everyone should watch The Wailing (2016).

Honesty time: Making real art is really scary, because you have to put real pieces of yourself in it. The guilt, the shame, the want, the anger. And it's so vulnerable because either everyone will see it, or it will be completely invisible. Both options scare me.

New author copies in! My first self-published book had pages literally falling out 😭 Fast forward to the second edition and I finally have a copy I'm genuinely proud of. The indie publishing glow-up is real. #TheHazeThatEats #booksky #indieauthor #authorjourney #amwriting #indiepress

Ooop. There it is. The book hangover.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil: 10/10 ✨ all the stars 🌟 I could not put it down and whole heartedly recommend to anyone with ANY interest vampires or gothic literature. So damn good! “Alice. Scottish. Gentle. Tastes like grief.” #boosky

That feeling when you’re reading, and the sweeter the story gets, the bigger your dread grows. #booksky

Please tell me other creatives also have this issue: Sometimes, when I see a piece of art that is 100% perfect and beautiful and happens to be exactly all my favorite things - I low key hate it. Mostly, because I am so jelly that I didn't have a hand in making it.

Hi, my names Mercury and I have an addiction to buying notebooks. I’m also a prissy little Princess about how my pens feel. Witness my shame hoard. Barbie for scale. My resolution: not to buy any more pens or notebooks until these are all used up. It will be a challenge.

Dear #WriteSky, I’m looking to hire a line editor soon for my horror novel. Do you have any hard won advice about finding one? Any referrals? Any traumatic stories you gotta get off your chest? #editing #editors #indiepublishing

There’s still time to get drawn into book 2! I’m sure you need a vacation…. *hint hint* www.kickstarter.com/projects/spi... #art #illustration #crowdfunding #comics #TSDTS #indiecomics #comics #spythriller

Ahhh yes. The eternal struggle between staying informed on current events versus not breaking down at the state of a world on fire.

Writing Lexi has been such an archeology project of unearthing my own teenage memories. It's fun, and awful at the same time! #wipsnips #brain #booksky #writesky #queerwriters #horrorsky #TreetopHollow

As a teen in the era of CDs I used to LOVE a hidden track. Now, as an adult who likes to listen on shuffle, I hate them with a burning passion.

As a person who's been on a fitness journey for a while, I actually really love New Years Resolution time. So what if people think Im a resolutioner? Yeah, and what? Our entire society, for a month or two, is supportive of building new habits and healthy lifestyle changes. I enjoy that 🤷‍♀️

Welp, I was suspecting it. But now I have confirmed: the only person I’ve had any back and forth conversation with online in months is a bot. Sounds about right, lol

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

Dear MAGA,

that moment when you're like 'is this a red flag or am I just traumatized' and the answer is yes

question for the hivemind: what's the creepiest sound you've ever heard in your home that you just... never figured out? #questions

You know you know you knowwwwwww…. Instead of switching from #spotify to someone else just as shitty, you can rebuild your personal music library. Better quality, and depending on how you do it, the artists get way more than 0.003 cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
