It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 57, “Forever Traveler” by Antonio Javier Caparo: In the background, a sky of a light purple color with clouds has a flock of white birds flying by. A tall, majestic tree stands in the middle, trunk thick and illuminated by the sun. A bald man in an astronaut's suit is sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He looks like he is meditating; on his right side, his helmet rests on the ground, and the quote says, "Dear creatures, this is how you will leave this world. Houselights will dim their fluorescence and open their curtains, repeatedly, giving darkness a passage."

Oooh! I Love epic fantasy!! Hello hello!!
I have spent way too long getting distracted by Mastodon lol. Really enjoying that platform! I have neglected my Bluesky account for a bit too long -pats snuggles it -
Yeah… the Tracy Wolff write up. I learned a lot.
Also don’t allow any lit agent to hivemind with you for too long
At an Amazon near you right now as either a kindle, and priced at 99c or the local rate or kindle unlimited. This is a light read of a series of short stories featuring cats or magic or maybe both. www.amazon.com/Anthology-Ca...

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.
A thread.
there is nothing like the thrill of reading something that makes you want to write immediately afterward
Oh dear. I have had enough heroes being disappointing today. Is it a … good extra? Or like negative extra?
3/3 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/FE1/f... --> overview of her series, I am sure you can find them at your library though

2/2 Tanith Lee wrote vastly, and won the British Fantasy Award, the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Horror for her books.
Screenshot of Tanith Lee's book cover for Book 1 of her TALES OF THE FLAT EARTH series, highly recommended to read, and where too many of certain elements of Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN was "borrowed" without crediting Tanith Lee.
Give her her flowers back:Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH series, the first book "Night's Master". Read instead of #neilgaiman 's THE SANDMAN. I learned that he took too many elements for THE SANDMAN from her w/o crediting her..1/3 #reading #ReadingCommunity #writingcommunity #writing #books
Hang in there! :/
Yeah :( Im very sad and disgusted about Neil Gaiman today. How did a brilliant man go so wrong? #TheVulture #TheNYMag #uggh #fantasywriters #TheSandman #GoodOmens
Hey folks! Thanks for the interest, at this time I'm probably going to go figure it out for myself ...Thank you so much though :)
OMG thanks! I may reach out to everyone! <3 <3
Oye. I need to find a banner for Bluesky lol. I just saw myself from a Mastadon server and how it looked like and it reproduced my face basically -- and my teeth are front and center lmao!
Posting here to ask- is anyone here a member of the Wandering.Shop Mastadon server? I'm a cozy (including cozy solar punk) /high fantasy/romantasy writer, and I love the vibe of this server and am seeking an invite. Would love to join this community WriterThreads #WritingCommunity #Writing
It’s not surprising to me. But we can filter it out
GM… well headed to bed as I obsessed about Mastadon all night😆
You got this!
I'm not sure about what to do with myself. Waiting for my Sunny.Garden account is hard
I just spent some hours reading on Mastadon servers- these About pages are useful and being able to see the live feeds is awesome! Bookmarked several and signed up for one which requires manual approval. My patience is wobbling in trying to wait-- I'm just so excited!😍
Hello Mastadon book lovers! Just got federated from Bluesky (going to create a separate account too to be fully on the fediverse but psyched to participate this way!) #WritingCommunity #Writing #Authors #AuthorCommunity
