a small blond puppy smiles wide while leaping up to sniff a small, round, white flower. the pup’s mouth is open, so she may or may not also be aiming to explore this flower with other senses than sight and smell.
This is Maisie. We can't tell if she's excited about spring, or just excited about possibly eating this flower. Either way, her enthusiasm is contagious. 14/10 (IG: maisieloupup)
This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)
Thundercat's forever inspo is Dragonball Ball Z 🥺
This is Millie. She just learned how to sled. Hopes you brought a second land frisbee, because she will not be taking turns. 13/10 (TT: millietheredlab)
two corgis are in formation on a wooden deck. the older one stands in the background and looks directly at the camera, while his little sister sits in the foreground and looks out of frame with a skeptical glance, one eye squinting closed and the other furrowed slightly in concern.
the corgi duo is still on their deck. this time, the little corgi pup in the front is looking more at the photographer, but her big brother in the background is now looking over his shoulder at whatever it was that had previously caught her eye. he has a matching expression, with his right eye squinting and his left eye examining the offending target judgmentally.
This is Pancho and Lupe. Some siblings have the same nose or ears. Pancho and Lupe have the same side eye. 13/10 for both (IG: panchocorgi)
With the news that Sean Dyche is about to return, let's just remember that time he stood outside in a blizzard without a jacket on and effectively *forced* us to make these
This week's pangram is a bit late, but worth the wait!
Jinxed wizards pluck ivy from the big quilt.

Hand drawn stick figure meme. Top half says: GOOD IDEA: Asking a trusted friend to read over your draft. One stick figure is smiling and taking notes while the other is talking, saying "Feedback, Thoughs" and holding the draft. Bottom half says: BAD IDEA: Asking your mom to read over your draft... One stick figure has long hair and wears a skirt, she has hearts coming from her. She's putting the draft on the fridge and smiling. The other is behind her, somewhat frowning, head in their hands.
Choose wisely. ⭐🖋️ #GoodIdeaBadIdea #Writing #GoldStarForYou
Top frame has a stick figure, happily typing at a table with a cup of coffee and a flower. Caption says: Good Idea: Working on your manuscript at the local coffee shop. Bottom frame has a stick figure, distraught, sitting at their desk at work and looking up at their angry stick figure boss. Caption says: Bad idea: Working on your manuscript at the office.
She's watching me. 🐶👀
Somehow I missed this story. Maybe they used AI to quality check the AI list. 😂😢😭

Quote block on top of a background of an old downtown late at night with some graphics sporadically placed of a clock, a pen and two exclamation marks. The quote on top is from H.G. Wells: “If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.”
Routines can be great - sometimes. When you have writer's block, though, you can get stuck in a loop. Changing it up can get your words flowing again! 🌠 #BookSky
“If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.”
-H.G. Wells
A quote block on a background of a small river or creek, calm, leading the way through a dense green forest. The quote is by Henry David Thoreau: “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
You can try to fake it, but if you want to really be able to write about life, you have to go and live your life too. Henry David Thoreau said it best, “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” 🖋️ #BookSky #LiveToWrite #WriteToLive
Quote by Ray Bradbury, "You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." is on top of background. The background is a faded photo of a shelves of wine, like in a shop, tinted slightly red.
Ray Bradbury understood how cathartic writing can be, and sometimes the only escape, when he said, “You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” #BookSky #LifeIsAbsurd #DrunkOnWriting
Background is of a statue of Mark Twain sitting on a bench with a book in his hand. The quote is on top: "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please." -Mark Twain
True in punditry and politics, but also in fiction writing! It's always a good idea to do your research - even if you don't plan to use all that newfound knowledge. #BookSky #ResearchRocks
Quote block, background is outer space with graphics of coffee cups and coffee beans floating. Quote: “The fact is, I don't know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn't collapse when you beat your head against it.” -Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams understood the pain of writer’s block:
“The fact is, I don't know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn't collapse when you beat your head against it.” ☕🥹 #BookSky #CoffeeIsMyMuse
Pangram of the week!
Sixty zippers were quickly picked from the woven jute bag. 🤐😁

Frankenstein may be Mary Shelley's most famous work, but it was far from her first. Thanks to the encouragement of a doting dad, novelist William Godwin, and her step-mom Mary Jane, she discovered her love of storytelling when she was just a little girl! #BookSky #SupportAuthors #GottaStartSomewhere
Success can come when you least expect it - just ask Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain! After failing as a steamboatsman, soldier and miner, he began sending snarky letters to the local paper. Editor Joe Goodman was so impressed by Sam’s wit, he offered him a job! #BookSky #SupportAuthors
Sometimes inspiration comes in the form of a challenge. When working as a nurse during WWI, Agatha Christie’s sister bet that she couldn’t write a mystery readers couldn’t crack. Needless to say, Madge lost that bet! Poirot would soon become one of the most famous detectives in the world. #BookSky
Imposter syndrome? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Eric Blair, aka George Orwell, let himself become so consumed by self doubt when writing his first book, he gave it to a friend to trash it. Thankfully for us, Mabel Fierz did just the opposite - she found him an agent! #BookSky #SupportAuthors
In the early 1800s, a "lady author" was rather unseemly, but that didn't deter Jane Austen's family! With their support, she authored some of the wittiest, most perceptive stories from her time. Even her brother Henry played the role of her male agent to keep her identity a secret. #BookSky
Like many authors in the 50s, Frank Herbert began in sci-fi magazines. Even Dune was first published in 8 parts! Despite this, nearly 20 book publishers rejected the epic. Finally, editor Sterling Lanier of Chilton Book Company (known for auto manuals) snapped it up. That was 60 years ago! #BookSky
When someone calls 360 games old my bones turn to dust and I fly away with the wind.
