The best ideas come to me when I'm in the limbo between waking and dreaming. And then I forget to write it down... 😒

Post by eternalgirlscout earlier today i told an acquaintance in passing that i'll often be in the middle of a novel and think "man i wish this shit were more ambiguous" and had to reiterate twice that i wasn't being sarcastic before they believed me, so this post is to say: i love when writers don't bother to explain everything, i love when stories end uncertain and unsettling, i love being required to think as a reader, i love when stuff makes no damn sense, no i'm not kidding Comment from im-the-antonymph-of-your-mom Prancer (1989)

BOMB CYCLONE would be an excellent title for a Poetry Mag, dedicated to dropping ... (milli)bars.
...Well, at least I think I'm clever!

Thinking about a substack for my fantasy writing 🤷🏽♀️ #writing #writingthoughts
Is AI the new muse or the new villain? Depends who’s holding the keyboard. #scifi #STEM #writingthoughts
A donut and a teacup are the same object — at least in topology.
Topology doesn’t care about distance, angles, or size. It only cares about what survives continuous deformation: stretching, bending, but no tearing or gluing.

I've just begun the editing/revision process on my first #novel, CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION. Need to pare down from 124K words, but I think there may still be a plot point or two to add, also. 😵💫 #writing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #booksky #books #writers #fiction #editing #revising #writingthoughts

I published Sanctuary, a Victorian inspired novel about a man with an unconventional family about to secure their future, when an old business partner threatens to blackmail him with evidence of his family's 'perversions'.

Currently working on the sequel.
Not my most recent work, but the one I'm proudest of; and there is a sequel coming.

✨ Writing Tip ✨
Romance is a very saturated and talent-filled genre, and it’s very easy to get caught up in tropes and goals. But your story is unique and interesting because it is your story. Don’t overthink it too hard.

Deep in the middle of Café Amaretto ☕📖 and starting to see the story take shape. With the holidays nearly behind us, here’s hoping for a productive stretch of writing ahead. ✍️✨

I'm trying to write things that are hard to write. With two years of experience now, its getting easier, but its not easy.
I need to find/make a group for critiquing manuscripts. I think that is the key to success here.

I normally know the overall shape of a story, and then essentially vomit out the words quickly. I'm currently writing something with less of a clear direction where I'm getting to know the characters slowly and it’s such a fascinating experience. #writing #writers #writingchat #writingthoughts
Writing multiple series gives me a creative reset ✍️📚—new genres, new voices, new worlds.
The downside? Characters occasionally escaping from one series and popping into another… completely uninvited 😅

New on the blog: Found Family in Urban Fantasy — Why We Crave It. Because sometimes magic isn’t spells or monsters, but the rag-tag crew you find on the road. buff.ly/iPxtwMd #UrbanFantasy #FoundFamily #IndieAuthor #Bookish #WritersOfBlueSky #FantasyReads #DiverseLit #WritingThoughts
If my characters meet and they DON’T threaten to kill each other, is it really a meet-cute?

✍️ Do you struggle with endings? Do they come naturally to you? ✒️📚

One of the many joys of writing is writing the dynamic of two characters and realizing you have a meme that can explain the dynamic. Idk why, but that has oddly helped me a lot recently. #writingthoughts
