It really warms my heart to see how active the writing community has become on here in my absence. It feels like home again.

For example, here's one for people who participate in the daily #vss365 prompt:

Back when X was twitter, me and the marvellous @chrismould.bsky.social had a no-pressure, everyone-welcome sketchbook club called #doodleish
We’re new here, but is anyone up for it?
We share fun prompts twice a week (no skill needed!)

It’s time for you guys ‘n’ gals to get writing your @microcosmsfic.bsky.social story for this week. A fab couple of prompt options I reckon (or spin if these somehow don’t float your boat). Be creative: Get writing. ✍️

Okay, to help everyone make their BlueSky what they want it to be, here's a thread about feeds. What they are, how to find them, how to add them, how to pin them, what feeds to follow if you're a #writer, and how you can make your own
