This morning's research question: Can speedometers melt?

(Yet another piece of information I never thought I'd need to write a book)

Back to writing after almost two weeks of being sick...time to remember what my book is about! #writingcommunity #amwritingsky #writingsky

Join me in this month's #WriteCBC with @cbcreative.bsky.social!

It wasn’t much, but it was hers. A memento of sorts, as unnerving as that may be, tucked into the recesses of her drawer. She admired it before retiring for the evening—its delicate ridges, its weighty hook—and wondered, yet again, how this came to be, how she was the one with the talon. #WriteCBC

Congratulations! Good news is always on the horizon!

Just listened this @honestauthors.bsky.social episode featuring @sophiehannah.bsky.social - such an insightful listen for an aspiring author! Highly recommend for anyone in the #writingcommunity

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

I can totally identify with this!

Having one of those writing days where I’m wondering: Is any of this actually good?

And thus is the writer’s life.

This really is the worst!

Katie Kitamura & AUDITION - BOOK RIOT Jeff talks to the great Katie Kitamura about her new novel, Audition (it is very, very good).

Still thinking about the masterpiece that is Katie Kitamura's Audition and remembered there's a First Edition interview with her...thank goodness for @bookriot.bsky.social and their fantastic podcasts.

The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers & Audition by Katie Kitamura

Amazing! And @cbcreative.bsky.social truly is the best!

Ever wondered how much clouds weigh? These are the kinds of things I end up researching while I write…

Join in on this month's #WriteCBC fun!

It’s strange, I think, how the parchment is torn along the seam. Too tidy, too predictable. Why not along the river, cast with wide and messy brush strokes? Why not among the bleeding clouds? Why must this tear be so straightforward when all else he’s left behind is not? #WriteCBC

Lovely!

The end is delightfully haunting!

Looking forward to it!

So relatable! I feel like I need to check my WIP for perhaps as well

Noticing that I'm using "smirk" a lot in my writing these days...which words do you tend to overuse? #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky #WIPSky

Morning pages with this gorgeous view. Only problem? Now I want to ditch the writing and go outside #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky

This is next on my TBR - looking forward to it!

Hands in pockets, head hung low, he stood there with a tangled mess of curls atop his head. Youths these days, I thought to myself, nose crinkling at his stench. He produced a paper, mangled and worn, stained with grease. And still I knew: a response to the advert. Twenty years too late. #WriteCBC

Cathi is the best - I had a wonderful time learning from her on my six-month course.

If @merriam-webster.com is looking for new content, I just learned that I've been mispronouncing and misspelling "amphitheater" my entire life #writingcommunity #booksky
