In love with this gorgeous zine from @cuylerkeating purchased @blackmoonbotanica. Perfect desk inspo for a fantasy writer with a magic system based in botanicals #booksky
How am I supposed to write when you're so cute??

Working on Draft 4 has felt like moving through treacle, but all that work is going to pay off! #booksky
Had to work out some of the logistics in my draft - which mainly involves being insanely jealous of anyone who can draw #booksky
Still thinking about my custom Gideon the Ninth cover from @phoenixhandmadebooks
#skybooks
Write a book? How hard can it be? 💀
#skybooks
Did the cover give away the whole book? Yes. Did I still love it? Yes.
I hadn't read The Fall of the House of Usher, so probably missed some easter eggs, but loved this as a new addition to my absolute favourite genre. GOTHIC FOREVER.

A book fit for The Keepers of The Locked Tomb! Ben got me this GORGEOUS custom cover for my copy of Gideon the Ninth from @phoenixhandmadebooks and I'm still drooling.

Tonight's writing supplies #booksky
My new obsessions
#booksky
Tonight's writing research has been mainly looking at The Book of Kells and wondering WTF they were taking on Iona in 800AD
#booksky
Why did I take so long to write with a beautiful pen?
#booksky
'The wind bit, the sun hid, and on the first day of class...Alice Law set out to rescue her advisor's souls from the Eight Courts of Hell.'
Some glorious magic in this one, and a section on the beauty and ridiculousness of extravagant libraries that I'll go back to again and again.
#booksky
Same!!! Whoever writes these is so good at drawing me in, in 6 words or less
In love with these Toppings Edinburgh mystery book descriptions. Still thinking about Big Trees. Tentacles. FUNGUS

Parenting has been a full time + extra time + night time job this month, so writing time has been hard to find (and when I do, I'm exhausted), so found a nice way to wind down that still feels like I'm filling my writerly cup just a little ✒️

I'm very behind posting what I've been reading! I loved this warm cuddle of a book and what it sought to teach. Strong 'Journey before Destination' vibes from this!

Worked on revisions this morning. Draft 4 has officially begun!

When there's a one-day writer's retreat down the road from you, you have to go! Really enjoyed my @writershq.bsky.social retreat at Tribe Porty today! Yay to getting a submission in!
#writing #skywriters #writers

Nothing like submitting 30mins before a deadline.

Celebrating a whole year of Queen Mimi, here demonstrating the three stages of cake eating: uncertainty, proficiency, and fight to the death
I appreciate that! I've read a few profiles of debut authors recently who often have experienced mentors. I wonder if it's a common benefit of taking a writing course.
Hi Gareth! I'm just in the final stages of finishing my very first book. I'd love to get a mentor to help me as I progress further, to help address where I need to continue to develop. How would you recommend I go about finding someone in the fantasy genre who would mentor me (or any baby author)?
Finally getting the moving boxes emptied and creating my magpie's nest of treasures ✨🖤

Hey #skywriters - I'm hunting for an additional writer's group, ideally focusing on Fantasy and Scifi. Are any of you in discords or similar that would be open to a new member? Or would you be interested in starting one?

My search history this week:
- how to become a nun
- how long do facial cuts take to heal
- synonym for throbbing
Just normal stuff.

Starting work on a major scene today! We get to meet one of my main antagonists, and she gets to issue some threats, make some deals, and generally cause (heavily outlined and planned) chaos 🗡️✨🖤
