Personally, we’re a massive fan of First Draft Cake.

But yeah, getting to a completed draft of a work is so worthy of celebration and so important not to take for granted.

So, how will you celebrate? #AmWriting #WriteSky

There’s no generative AI in our books. Fun fact: Speculative Shorts also states plainly on the cover that the stories fell out of @caitgauthor.bsky.social‘s brain! 😃 #SFF #IndieAuthors
