"keep your chin up!"

keep my chin up? really? why don't you do your part and lift it for me with one finger while looking at me with a wry little smirk

Is today just bad for everyone?

The creative energy needs to be released lest it take over

"why do you write?"

because if I don't write, the creative energy within me will then ricochet around my insides without an outlet, and I'll explode into a cloud of stardust that floats around haunting people by whispering tales of the writing that never was. You've been warned.

Look at it!

Oh, oh no, not that much...maybe just a half second peek? 🫣

I just wanna be best friends with a murder of crows is that too much to ask?

I regularly try to figure out how to lure all the local crows to my yard.

Literally

Admitting to using gen AI for your art or books or music, etc, is like the biggest self-own imaginable. Literally out of the gate you’re telling people you can’t, you care not and won’t even try but want credit anyways. So, like, is it a participation trophy you’re after? I doughnut get it.

A mile every day?? That's awesome!

I'd like to publish the Messages sequel, we'll go from there

Belated Merry Christmas 🎄

lol

won't be able to get it published this year. However! The hope is that I'll get the sequel published by March of 2026. So fingers crossed that's the case!

Not me popping in like once a month when I remember this app exists haha. Hi hello, what'd I miss?

I also wanted to give an update on my plans to publish the Messages sequel this year. Unfortunately, because of some unforeseen circumstances (large medical bills) I most likely-

1/2

Sorry I'm just seeing this. Twitter's definitely been different and these days I never know where all my writing friends went since everyone skidaddled :(

Good to see you on my timeline again though! :)

No really! Blasting music, listening to video really loud or just talking. I was in the bathroom the other day...a public bathroom...and some lady came in on *speaker phone* 🫠

Popping back into the sky of blue. How is everyone? Did I miss much?

Yummy 😋

Your email finds me bored and exhausted, daydreaming of a better world where the concept of an "email" does not even exist.

All these horror writer posts are making me want to get back in and write some horror haha

Aww thank you. I'm glad you think so ☺️

Me when I log back into this app to see a bunch of people followed me.

I do hope you all know I am not that active on here haha

Woo hoo! Good luck!

This is quite literally the reason I stopped marketing my books and never published the Messages sequel and became a lot less active. No one seemed to care. It means so much to indie authors <3

This!! Please, this! And even if you simply cannot afford to buy it, recommend it to others. Ask for it to be carried in your local library. Heck, engage with the author through social media.

Sometimes being a writer means staring at your document forever, trying to figure out how to make a character more seductive

That's a good question. One I'm trying to figure out.

Amazon not paying me my royalties <.<

Not adding a table of contents to my book because none of the chapters are named anyway? Couldn't be me 😶‍🌫️
