Do any of you have advice on increasing engagement on Bsky?
My current plan is to simply post more content but curious about what has worked for others.

I'm halfway through the Godsland series audiobooks and I can wholeheartedly recommend. Very entertaining epic fantasy.

My audiobooks are deeply discounted for a limited time. This complete 12-book epic fantasy series is a story of empathy, forgiveness, magical realism...and there might be dragons!

Hmm, reality doesn't exist until it is observed? Not sure I agree.

Reality does not exist until it is observed, therefore the observer is, at least in part, the creator. I just can't quite figure out to control that which I observe. Pity.

I pondered for several days about my first post. Each time I thought I had the perfect idea, I scrapped it. What remained was empty white space. I did lots of arguing with that little voice in my head. But I think the muse and I have come to an agreement. So here goes: Do not fear the blank page.
