Shame on Bezos, but also if another outlet won't scoop up someone this dedicated in a role this important, then what is the point of any of them existing?

#readers of bsky, we offer #stories!
We write monthly prompt fills, obviously as a lure towards our stashes of fiction on Ko-Fi.
Will you fall for that trap, or deny yourself steadfast the pleasure of reading?

Against the madness of this world, I try to keep creating. To get words flowing I attempt sparking story ideas from an old ressource - art on MTG cards. What story would you craft from those five cards?

Don’t worry if your first draft is messy!

I, a writer and freelance fiction editor, just found out that I gave the same first name to two different side characters in my draft.

And I didn’t spot it for weeks.

First drafts are allowed to be messy. Their role is to exist, not to be perfect 😅

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

Real talk: The everything has really been a lot lately. And I know I am not alone. Writing is…hard, at best.

Whatever is weighing on you, whatever is making your heart heavy right now — be gentle with yourself.

Make time for joy. Self-care is a MUST.

I will mention my books, here, yes. The reason is, I worked insanely fucking hard on them, my ex-publishers ran off with my earnings, I'm now having to rebuild & I'm not going to halt the process for fear of annoying some easily annoyed people on social media who were never going to read my books.
Hello new followers. This is my latest novel. Recent reviews include "book of the year", "made me cry" and "very different to Lee Child".
