Exciting news, San Diego! Janina Scarlet here, the founding director of Divine Feminine Publishing. This Saturday, I’ll be at Mysterious Galaxy (@mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social) for a Local Author Meet & Greet — and you’re invited!

Friday Freewrite: Funny Sci-Fi Edition: What if your Roomba started giving you dating advice? Or your spaceship’s AI insisted on being paid in compliments? Or maybe the galaxy’s most powerful weapon… is a grandma with Wi-Fi?

🎉 Book Birthday! Today, on the 80th anniversary of WWII’s end, we release Through Bullets and Thunderstorms: A Holocaust Survival Pact.

✨ In case anyone needs to hear this today… Your writing matters. Even if the draft is messy. Even if you haven’t finished the book. Even if no one’s read it yet.

✨ Writers: Perfectionism isn’t just a writing block—it’s often a wound. A defense mechanism we built as children to stay safe, earn love, or avoid rejection. That perfectionism? It’s not a flaw in your craft. It’s a scar from your story. 💔✍️

Powerful First Lines: The Ones That Grab You and Don’t Let Go. Some stories don’t ease you in—they throw you into the fire from the first sentence. A great first line can set the tone, demand your attention, and whisper “You’re not ready for what’s coming.”

💔 If you’re feeling crushed by the cruelty and pain in the world right now… you’re not alone. Our upcoming book, Through Bullets and Thunderstorms, was written for moments like this — to remind us that hope can survive even in the darkest places.

📚✨ Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay! ✨📚 There’s no better way to celebrate than by supporting the bookstores that keep stories alive—and no better place to do it than @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social 💫 www.mystgalaxy.com/book/9798992...

🌀 Saturday Spark from Divine Feminine Publishing Write a scene where your character encounters a force of intuition so powerful, it stops them in their tracks. Is it a dream, a memory, a whisper on the wind? 🌬️✨ How do they respond—do they follow it, fear it, deny it?

It’s #FreeWriteFriday with @DivineFemininePublishing! Today’s #wittingprompt: “She stood at the edge of the world, not to fall—but to remember that she could fly.” Let the words spill—unedited, uncensored, unstoppable. You are the story. Let her speak.

🕯️📚 Cozy Reading Sunday 🌧️☕ Today’s agenda: ✨ A warm blanket ✨ A steaming mug of something comforting ✨ A good book that pulls you into another world ✨ Zero guilt for staying in and getting lost in the pages

☕✨ Writer fuel: activated. We know the first draft often begins with a warm mug in hand ☕️ 🫖 🍵 There’s magic in that first sip. It’s the quiet before the characters start speaking, the ritual that summons the muses, the comfort that says, You’ve got this.

Not all familiars wear cloaks—some wear fur and purr softly beside you while you write. 🖤🐾 At Divine Feminine Publishing, we’re big believers in the power of companion animals to support the creative spirit.

Happy Sibling Day to all the blood siblings—and the chosen ones. 💛 At Divine Feminine Publishing, we know that family isn’t always defined by genetics. It’s defined by love, shared stories, quiet support, and deep understanding.
