I keep vividly imagining key future scenes in the Dragon of Dornoch series, and I want to write them so badly. But I’ve got three other things to work on first. #writing

Ten pages in to Zen Cho’s excellent “Sorcerer to the Crown” and I’m hooked. It has all the good stuff: the unexplained decline of magic, fantasy in an 18th century setting, secret(ive) societies, and an outsider protagonist fighting a battle to prove himself. Wishing I’d read this years ago. #books

Any other cozy or historical fantasy writers out there? I’m working on a couple of novels (including one about a girl befriending an entomologist dragon in 18th cen Scotland) and would love to find likeminded folks to chat about all the book- and writing/related things! #writingcommunity #fantasy

Trying to come up with a better name for my WIP and I’m honestly not mad about this one: “How Fen Lost a Dad and Found a Dragon” #writing

What’s everyone reading this week? I’m 75% of the way through “Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons” by Quenby Olson and it’s a cozy, heart-warming, baby-dragon-filled delight. #indiebooks

Hi there! I’m new to Bluesky and looking to follow folks in the #writingcommunity, especially fantasy writers. This year I’m planning to query my cozy historical MG fantasy “The Dragon of Dornoch” and would love to find others in the querying trenches. Or generally to talk about books!
