Finally emerged victorious from another round of finals, and thus my social media hibernation is over. I’m looking forward to a summer of #Booksky and more time than ever for edits!

Hadn’t heard about this yet, very exciting! Will have to take a look at the details.

Left the windows open yesterday not even considering that my whole desk would be covered in pollen… including my laptop. What a way to start the day. #booksky #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Yep! Happy to have everyone along for the ride!

I’m horrified by what’s going on at colleges across the US. My international friends and peers are terrified that their student visas will be revoked or that when they leave for the summer they won’t be allowed back in. It’s already happened to hundreds. Don’t let this get swept under the rug.

Thank you all for 1,000 followers! I can’t wait to show all of you what’s on the horizon. It’s been amazing getting to know all of you, and I very much appreciate the A in my SM Analytics course.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social has always impressed me with his political activism and willingness to speak out. He is truly Luke Skywalker through and through.

It’s really crazy when Super Earth feels like a preferable alternative. #helldivers

Don’t forget the aviators!

Truly the only explanation is that they’ve all following Grandfather Nurgle. #warhammercommunity

I always have an audio book on when I’m playing Civ, or any of my strategy library for that matter. It’s the perfect level of attention for both!

I’m launching a sci-fi book club!

My SM Analytics professor just told me that if I get 1,000 followers by Thursday he’ll give me an A. Help me Bluesky, you’re my only hope. 🙏

Thanks! I spent a long time making excuses for not writing, and one day I just decided that I was going to make progress at least every week. It’s hard, but forcing it into my schedule has made sure that the book is always moving forward, even if it’s just baby steps!

The semester is almost over, but between internship applications and… 😒 group work 😒… I’m finding it harder to sit down and write for any longer than an hour or two. Edits are even worse. Progress is progress I guess! 📖

An average small council meeting in Westeros.

I see this take a lot, and after making the switch to Pathfinder 2e I definitely get it. That being said, I have a great appreciation for 5e because of its ease of entry for new TTRPG players. If I had given Pathfinder 2e or Call of Cthulhu to my players back then I would not have had a group.

This is me with travel time. I get ridiculously hung up on travel time.

Who is your favorite Batman villain and why is it the heartbreaking, three dimensional wife guy Mr. Freeze?

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

Shiny doom wheel please Skaven, yes-yes.

I love taking inspiration from sources that seem anathema to the genre I’m writing in. SCP in fantasy? That’s a big yes from me. #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthor #skywriters

I love the detail, you can really learn a lot about this character from just this image. Kudos from a fellow Tiefling enjoyer! 🔥

This was a great entry in the DA franchise. It’s a shame there was so much hate for it online. Thank you for your work, I loved this one!

I’m a big fan of the Creepcast podcast that effectively does this—difference being they actually get permission from the authors before doing this. I hope YouTube is able to help you with this situation… but knowing their content moderation system, it’ll be a slog.

Trying to make real headway on my novel while worrying about whether my grad school funding is just going to evaporate because of an angry cheeto is truly a time. I’ve tried to see writing as an escape and emotional release but it is a constant struggle.

This method is fire 🔥! My players have a stringboard like this for our D&D campaign. Finding those intersection points is always the best!

A lot of creative folks are demoralized right now. Hell, I'm one of them. Maybe some of them are helping you through this rough time. If so, do me a solid:

Share their stuff. Drop them a kind word. Tip their Ko-fis, or join their Patreons. It seems like nothing, but it's everything right now. 🤘
