Monday Mindfulness Woman sitting cross legged on the ground meditating
Today's affirmation: Keep going. Somewhere out there, a reader is waiting for the chaos only you can write.
Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.

Friday Writerly/readerly Question ?
Happy Friday!! We made it!
Alright, this one is for writers: Which line have you rewritten a hundred times?
#booksky #writesky 🪐 📚 💙
When these stories became a full-length series, she considered the path to sharing with other children & children-at/heart looking for a place to call home.
Valerie Storm was raised in Tucson, Arizona.
Growing up, she fell in love with everything fantasy. When she wasn’t playing video games, she was writing. By age ten, she began to write her own stories as a way to escape reality.
Today's SSP #authorspotlight goes to @valeriestorm_author!
Valerie has been featured in three SSP Anthologies: Panthology, Cozyish, and dreamcaught, and is the author of the Demon Storm series, all eight of which are available now!

Wednesday Hump Day Two humped camel judging you
It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 343?
If you haven’t gotten to that page, how about a post from page 34 instead?

We like to discuss tropes or other commonly-seen scenarios in media on these days. We understand not everyone likes tropes or thinks about their stories in those terms. We are not here to dictate what is or not a trope, and we never say writers MUST use tropes. We're just here to talk about stories.
Tuesday Trope Treasures Pirate Chest that is open with shiny coins sticking out
Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic:
The World Has a Daily Reset. Except for a Few People.
Everyone else loops. A small group remembers. The problem? They don’t all want the loop to end.
Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

Today's affirmation: Some days writing looks like one sentence and a minor existential crisis. It still counts.
Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.

on her socials for announcement/events/etc.
We at Shadow Spark absolutely adore Brittany and are excited to see where her journey leads. That being said, this is far less a 'goodbye' and far more a 'see you later' 💛 💜
As of April 8, 2026, Shadow Spark Publishing has reverted rights of the Alternity series to the ever-lovely Brittany Engstrand.
Though she will no longer be currently published with us, our doors remain wide open to her in the future. She has lots of exciting plans for this series, so keep an eye

Tuesday Trope Treasures Pirate Chest that is open with shiny coins sticking out
Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic:
The Setting Is Sentient. But Subtle About It.
The house, forest, or city nudges events. Moves objects. Opens paths. It has opinions… and favorites.
Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

Today's affirmation: If your writing feels a little unhinged, good. That’s where the interesting stuff lives.
Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.
