It’s a weird week to be a nonbinary creator. Hey everyone I’m Kelly 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
I make clay jewelry as well as tools for clay jewelry making — if you’re into either of those you can check out what I have available at kellsclays.com 💕
Life has been far too hectic for me to post about it until now but I had a BLAST at the Sacramento Book Festival this past weekend!! And we got this awesome shot of the 4 authors of PESTO & POTIONS together with our custom shirts!

This is the first time in a long time I’ve been scrolling this app and seen multiple pieces of *good* news.

Unfriendly reminder to myself that if I never post anything then no one remembers I exist 😤

Do these times have to be so trying

I haven’t gotten nearly as much writing done as I hoped I would this month, but that’s ok. I mean, look at this month. And my mom was in the hospital for over two weeks right in the middle of it. Like, it’s a miracle I got anything done let alone any writing

I am no longer accepting "You're Valid! 😊" as an answer to the problems myself and my fellow trans siblings are facing.

You want to help?

Hire us for work, directly include us in your projects, or donate to us so we can continue to live.

Myself & other trans folks continue to struggle to survive.

The world seems like it’s on fire but here’s a tiny bit of joy. Meet Niko, an elderly cockatiel I adopted ❤️ he is the sweetest little guy. I’m so happy to be able to give this lovely old man the best golden years.

Had a lovely writing day with friends today. It was a nice distraction from *gestures at everything*

What’s this, an actual janowrimo update? 🤩 yesterday I was able to write with some friends and had a great time! I edited three chapters 🥰

Yeah. If I leave insta, I lose half my small business income. Until I figure out somewhere else to be, and navigate the rules and present communities already there, which is hella intimidating.
Meta turning to extra shit like a week before tiktok goes down in the States is absolutely brutal for folks who rely on socials for their work to get seen. Artists, academics, activists, small businesses, whole communities exist inside these ecosystems please don't minimize how bloody hard this is.

For those of you who maybe didn’t know I make jewelry, here’s some of my collections from the past year:
January 8, 2025 at 11:10 PM
If you’re following me from threads yes I write and also make clay jewelry I contain ✨multitudes✨ and don’t think I can handle having multiple blue sky accounts right now 😅

Got off to a slow start but I finally worked on some JaNoWriMo today. Edited chapter one of the YA fantasy to implement some writers group feedback. I’m glad I managed something even if it wasn’t much 💕
January 5, 2025 at 8:39 AM
Planning on doing a “JaNoWriMo” with my writers group! My focus for this next month is going to be revising my draft to the new outline.
What are your January writing goals?
December 31, 2024 at 6:38 PM
Spent hours restructuring the plot of the book I wrote for nano in 2021, so I can finally finish the damn thing 🥰
It’s a fantasy adventure with a 14yo nonbinary mc!

Don't post AI. Don't use AI. It should not be that hard.
If you get it wrong sometimes, as we all do, just take it down.

There’s a lot more news and a lot fewer hot takes here on blue sky compared to threads. I’m glad for the different vibes. I’m enjoying scrolling both. They both have their place.
Still haven’t figured out what I’m going to post about on either though. 😅

Btw the main character of this YA is nonbinary because of course they are. 😤 they’ll be only my second nonbinary MC and it’s about damn time.

I have a half-drafted YA book I want to work on again. But for the first time in my life I don’t have a really clear linear plot—I have a few dozen scenes I can put in whatever order tells the story best. I don’t know how people do this. Summarize the scenes on flash cards and start shuffling?
