I have some personal stuff going on right now. Gotta go back to my home country soon for a while. I'm happy I'll see my family again, but I wish it was in different circumstances.

Just in case people want something to read over the weekend, my first book The Assassins Raven is available on Amazon. 📚 💙 A female assassin joins a quest she does not want, and gets more than she bargains for. A mix of cozy fantasy, horror, adventure, comedy, and romance.

They say Bluesky is dying, but when I ask literary questions on socials, I always get the most answers here. When I share stories (or the cover reveal today), the most readers turn up here. I wonder if Tedious Bluesky is dying while Fun Bluesky is thriving.

Some days in this industry can be really rough. I don’t give a lot of advice, but in this case I have some. Rather than dwell on your shitty situation, find another writer or creative and share their work or fundraiser or whatever. Or find some other way to pay it forward. Always helps. 🩷

How does one "rewild" a man-made creature? What and where is home? If you are designed from the outset to be a servant, what does it mean to be free? Do computers... have souls? Deep. Find the answers in my latest novel "The Rewilding" books2read.com/u/3koJwG @fenrispublishing.bsky.social

I wrote this prologue years ago- I just edited it a bit recently to fit my style now. This project isn't going fantastically rn but I'm trying to give myself some grace given that I literally just finished the first draft of a different book lol. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also: —neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten. —NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COW’S MILK!

Wrote 1k words today! It's my new daily word count goal now. Hopefully I'll keep reaching it for the rest of the week at least.

If you are in the Edmonton area Fiasco is still missing - please check garages and sheds and engines! Let's get him home, please share x

September just started! Did you achieve your goals for August? And what are your new ones for this month? Mine is to finish: the first draft of Book 3, Act II of Book 2, and the second draft of Mihayu. #Writers #Authors #Writing #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writesky #Booksky

Me: "Let's continue the story I started writing a few years ago!" Also me: keeps getting inspired for unrelated stories featuring the same characters, but not for the current WIP. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Introduction Time! 🌈📚 💙📚 My name is Claire and here’s a little about me: - LGBTQIA+ - I’m a UK based aspiring new adult high fantasy author planning on self publishing. - I love video games (especially RPGs). - I’m an amateur, self-taught ocarina player. #booksky #fantasyauthor #LGBTQIA+

Not only did I write the entire scene today (which was shorter than expected), but it was also the last one of the chapter! And to top it all off, I reached double my daily word count goal! Now I'm halfway through another scene. I'm so happy!

I wish polls were a thing on Bluesky. I'd love to know what you guys think about the idea of having the story take place in a cartoon world with cartoon characters. I mean, I guess you could answer in the comments, but still. Polls would be great! #Writers #Readers #Booksky #WritingCommunity

5 years ago, I had an agent and big dreams but zero book deals. After 150+ rejections, I parted ways with my agent & signed with a small press. The duology they said would “die on sub”? Now it’s a 6-book deal. Rejection isn’t the end. Keep going. #WritingCommunity

I often hit parts in drafting when the characters pull ahead—making choices I never planned. It’s thrilling & a pleasant surprise. I’m a hybrid: plot big beats (series needs it), then let pantsing take over when the characters lead the way. My job is simple: keep up with them. #AuthorSky #BookSky

Good morning, Bluesky. I hope you have a day as wonderful as you are, today and always. 💛

This has been A Big Secret for months but finally I can reveal that THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET has also been acquired by a UK publisher!! (in addition to Harlequin US) I'm so thrilled to join the Little, Brown family with Atom, who have an incredible, organised, and enthusiastic team! 🎉😍🌈🌺

Finished the scene, yay!! And I got 500+ words in, which is also nice. I want to write the whole next scene tomorrow. Hopefully I will!

Going to finish that scene today, or at least try to.

Wrote a lot today. I doubt I'll be able to finish this scene tomorrow, but hopefully I will!

There's a small bat on the side of my window! I had never seen one before, it's so cute!!! 💕💕💕 I want to pet it so bad, but I know I shouldn't. 😭
