PSA: If you get the new Parmesan Stuffed Crust from @dominos-pizza.bsky.social and you order in the app with font way to small for any human to read, you might THINK you are getting parmesan stuffed in a crust. No. It's MOZZARELLA. I was so excited... until I wasn't. Blech.

WIP: Time traveling space cowboy (just the once; not at all like The Doctor, and especially not like the 11th Doctor in A Town Called Mercy). With horses! #writing #booksky not #doctorwho

“The body laid twenty paces from him in a pool of water that was rapidly turning red. He did not have to look to know that there was no longer life in it. His aim had been true and when the bullet is silver, there is no coming back.”

I’m currently reading The Cult of Trump. I thought, “I’d really like a WWII book,” so I bought The Final Solution and Maus. Then I got The Open Society and Its Enemies. Then ADHD! So I got a Dragon Mage, Human Acts, and the three Silo Series books. I’ve also been writing furiously. My poor TBR.

On March 14, 2011, I watched an episode of House MD titled, “Out of the Chute (S7E16j.” It opened with a song by Black Lab called, “This Night.” It burrowed its way into my soul. In May of the same year, I wrote this piece of flash fiction based on the song. #booksky #vampire #werewolf #gunslinger

This is so good! There’s not tons of description (a la Anne Rice, IYKYK), but what’s there is effective/horrifying/lovely. The read was quick too. Quick enough that my autistic pattern recognition to know a story’s end didn’t stand a chance. It’s a fully fleshed story you can devour in minutes. Yum!

“She had made him who he was. She had delivered him to the coven so that he could be reborn to the night. ‘We will be the Adam and Eve of our races,’ she had proclaimed. The truth was that they had both become Cain…” Excerpt from “This Night,” coming at 11 AM EST! #booksky #lunchtime #read

Okay, I never thought about story writing this way, but it’s brilliant! The next time I get caught up in my head on “does this feel too familiar” in my writing, I just need to remember this. Sure, the bones might be familiar, but the meat of it is different. #booksky

I’ve long held the opinion that I don’t think ADHD is a disability. I medicate mine, but it’s necessary in order to function in society in its current state. I believe ADHD is just a different way of thinking. The thinking of progress. True, real progress.

Lost a week (!!!) to a new computer, video games, and a new (to me) anime series, Frieren. Anyone else just lose time like that? Also, Frieren hit a special note with me, an autistic person, in her quest of “learning how to people.” Seriously, 10/10!

I saw this in my feed. It brought back some traumatic memories! I had a hard drive failure about 15 years ago and lost so much. For some reason, decided to trust my computer again and a few years after that I had another awful failure. After that, I decided to do all of my writing in Google Docs.

I think I heard that we celebrate cats on Saturday. Or Caturday. I celebrate them all the time but okay. This is Goose. He has the best purrs.

I have a spicy story in the works for release on Substack, but it's on pause while I do some home projects. If I hyperfocus on that, I won't get anything done around the house. I hope to have it completed to share in the next week or two! #booksky

No hate to Kindle; I love the power of carrying a small library around with me everywhere I go. But, I mean, look at those pages! So touchable. To dog-ear or not to dog-ear, that is the question. 💙 #booksky

Random musing: Throwing it back to when it was warm, oh, and when I still went camping. I bought my camper (Banshee) as an escape. But now that the toxicity has been purged from both my work or personal life, I don’t feel that I need her anymore, so I’ll likely be selling her in the spring.

I’m doing this #BookSky challenge, and as I think through books I’ve read and then post covers for the challenge, it makes me want to reread them all. My poor, neglected TBR. I’m so sorry.

Current mood:

When you feel like you’re doing everything right, but it’s still wrong…

I’m going to give some gift memberships out to my Substack, Wilde Tales, tomorrow. If you love to read, would be willing to provide feedback to my novella or other stories in the Substack chat, and share on your socials (but only if you like it!), leave a comment here! #booksky

The dragon laughed a rumbling sound that echoed softly in the enclosed glen. “I believe we had this conversation already.” Whispers of the Wyrm is available now! skylarawilde.substack.com/p/whispers-o... #booksky #novella

The book will always be better than the movie. I SAID WHAT I SAID. And I wrote a very convincing college essay on it. So convincing that my professor, whose focus was horror literature and movies, even changed her mind. Maybe I’ll post it on my Wilde Tales Substack pub soon.

Happy belated birthday to @alancumming.bsky.social (27 Jan 1965), who has had to spend most of the past 60 years eye-rolling at last name jokes. You always be my favorite Emcee and Nightcrawler!

Hey #booksky! Badly describe one of your favorite #books. I’m looking to add to my TBR.
