More evidence at how bad I am from stepping back -- I'm already outlining book 2. 🤦‍♀️ The opening scenes for the first chapter are already rough-sketched. 😅 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky #Book1 #Book2

Can't stay out of my book even when I'm trying to give my brain a rest, so been working on my series bible and honestly, I'm really proud of all my worldbuilding and lore. Like, I might actually be good at it. 😅 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Draft 3 is DONE! 🎉🎉 Time for a few days off before I dive back in for a pre beta reader polish. 🖌

So anyway, been buried in revisions, basically rewrote half the book, the final chapters are FINALLY in sight.

Anyway, how's fall treating everyone? #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Oof, the revision fatigue is hitting hard today. 🥱🥱 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

This feels like me to me. No, I will not elaborate.

My MMC's got me over here blushing in the Daily Grind. 👀👀 Revisions are going well I guess. 🫣 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Happy Monday! Happy September! Feeling back in my groove with draft 3 now that I got chapter 13 right. How's everyone else feeling today?? #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Just spent 3 days reworking 4 different versions of a single chapter but I think it's finally where I want it. If not, that's what draft 4 is for? 😬😬😬 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

PMS + med changes certainly do a number on my self-confidence with this whole writing thing. 😅 Went from "this is it! This is THE draft" to "why did I literally quit my day job????" #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Man, draft 2 was a slog. Draft 3 has me soaring. I feel like I am NAILING these revisions. ✌️ #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Revisions have been such a wild ride, both in discovering the story I want to tell, and my instincts as a writer. Now that draft 3 is underway, I'm encountering my first true "kill your darlings" moment. And I'm weirdly okay about it. #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Been working on draft 3 this week and it's going surprisingly well. Think this might be the one that makes it to beta readers! 🤞🤞 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Jfc I hate it here.
Gov. Patrick Morrisey is ramping up the state’s participation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announcing a wide-spread agreement that enlists the National Guard and police officers to expand immigration enforcement operations in West Virginia, reports @amelianews.bsky.social.

Halfway through A Court of Frost and Starlight. Definitely beginning to see why Rhysand haters exist. I have so many questions for SJM regarding his character. Like, what happened???
Good morning! We love talking about reading almost as much as we love talking about writing. So, tell us: what are you reading this week?

In Morgantown, volunteers have been using federal emergency funds to put people and families — typically single mothers and their children — in hotels, helping them avoid sleeping in their cars or on the streets. A freeze on those funds will likely end the program, reports @amelianews.bsky.social.

This is terrifying, and we cannot let it happen

Eliminating queer content - or content about any group of people - is a clear step toward eliminating them from public life, and then from life altogether, which is the end goal of the far right

Stripe MUST receive push back on this
twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.
