I am thrilled that my #horror story, Tales from Mars, placed for the upcoming anthology relase from @tldrpress.bsky.social!
They support some wondeful charities with these release, so can't wait to share when it's available. #writing #writesky

Congrats on placing!

Lol! Probably both.

Im excited for your Patreon, but I could have lived my whole life with a definition for that one. #howisthatathing

Not Quite Write Submitted - Team Outlaw

Omg, this!

That's absolutely stunning.

Oof, I felt this.

January weather has finally arrived. #stlouis #winter

Definitely need to check out the books I haven't read on this list. As a Loreena McKennitt fan, The River Has Roots made me so happy.
And I second the love for The Everlasting. Una is my hero.

Between NYC Midnight Short Story, Not Quite Write, Writer's Playground and First Line, I may have overbooked my January. #writesky #writing

Gorgeous!

Excellent message to start off the New Year, and much needed, thank you.

Happy NYE to you!

Awesome offer, thank you! But the getting it to where I'll let anyone read it is part of the hangup, lol. I just need to acknowledge the level I'm at and roll with it this year. I am optimistic.

The WIP vomit draft is done. Hoping to edit and publish this year. 🤞

Hugs. Hate those slumps.
Write something completely silly to make yourself laugh - it'll come back.

It is time.

Confidence, so I can't stop editing my stories at some point. 😁

I am definitely intrigued 👀 Allergic to emotions...lol.

Prepping an older short story to submit for an anthology. I really didn't submit this year, so other than contests, this will bring my 2025 submissions up to 1.

Hopefully, next year will be the year of throwing stories out there.

Woke up to 74 degrees tshirt weather, going to bed in 26 degrees.

I think its great you are working out a policy. As already said, this will be an uphill battle for awhile.

I just read through this and thought I would add my 2 cents? Google Docs admitted they were using any work there to train AI so I have quit using it. Will snapshot dates in Scrivener or date saves for Word or Dropbox suffice? Thanks!

Twas the first night of vacation
And all through the house
Not a creature bothered stirring....

Just finished, and I continue to adore this series. #booksky
