Books I’m Looking Forward To: 2026 Edition and therefore, you, too, should look forward to them probably

made a fun post with some books i’m looking forward to this year. it’s not exhaustive (by any means) and is limited mostly due to a) my memory and b) the time i have to add stuff, but i hope you will have fun perusing and leave me more things you think i will like.

For today's prompt, write a spell, prayer, or chant. As always, lean into the speculative. Call on the ethereal, the spectral, & the illusory.

Happy National Poetry Month!

Today's prompt asks you to write a poem about a speculative quest. Who is your central character? Who are their sidekicks? Where are they headed? What are they after? Happy National Poetry Month!

Whether it's flowers that hold electricity in their petals or schools of fish illuminated by iridescent stars, let your imagination carry you.

Shout out to @morleyxoxo for another beautiful prompt.

I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.

We need help. My husband drives delivery for a bakery and their truck broke. He's gotten no work shifts for 7 days because the bakery's mechanic is super behind due to understaffing because people are calling out sick. We're going to be $685 short on rent because of this.
