Text with computer patterns reads "CyberSnow by A.E. Bross". Beside the books are logos for The Storygraph, Pagebound, and Goodreads.

Reposting to boost for the next day? You bet.

My short story "Dream Diver" is a good read if you're fond of mean women as supporting cast, monsters as symbolism, and topics of mental health :3c

Cassie is a Dream Diver, tasked with purging demons from the collective unconscious. This mission makes her ask if she's stepping into nightmares.

what’s up booksky want to help a bored substitute teacher? if you’re an indie writer with a book or other piece available, lmk. Looking for new reading material to pass the time.

good evening to everyone else who has been invited to a Super Bowl party while knowing nothing about football. I didn’t know who was playing until an hour ago.

I think today's a good day to support indie authors who don't use AI.

And also to support editors, cover designers, artists, and book coaches who don't use AI and aren't running grift classes.

They're a requirement

I love Splatoon music and it is NOT wet. It is NOT blooping. I will not be explaining this post.

Lumienne holding a candle. Lumienne is a person whose gender is not apparent. They hold a turtle candle. The candle almost seems to nuzzle them affectionately. Their hand is wrapped near the flame, as if protecting it. Lumienne has fluffy black hair and pointed ears. Their clothing is very covering, with little skin showing other than their face and hands. They regard the viewer with a neutral expression. You cannot tell what they think about your presence. You cannot tell what emotions they have. It is none of your business. You almost feel like you are intruding. Maybe they are waiting for you to leave.

Christmas gift for @mosserole.bsky.social!! Its Lumienne, the main character of her book The Candlelighter.

Lumienne, I love Lumienne 💕

I hope someday you can all read the book, and appreciate the character (and as a result appreciate the subtle details in this picture)

A stupid baby meme as if it was a youtube explainer. A confused baby sits beneath a clock with the word FAKE written in red atop it. The background is a baby's bedroom in full greige. On the right, text is written over the face of a nice looking young woman. BEDTIME A LIE? "it's 8 o'clock sweetie, time for bed!" WRONG. one hand points at seven, the other at twelve. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS AND NEITHER DO YOU the oven says seven, mother!!! SEVEN!!!!

They are lying to you. Like and subscribe for the TRUTH

to my writers out there who are publishing while having a full-time job. I see you and applaud you.

sincerely, someone who is trying to write while also having a full-time job and 2 part-time jobs.

to anyone in the storm’s path: I hope you’re safe and warm 🫡 I’ve already shoveled 3 times and I intend to stay put as long as possible

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

excellent! research will ensue

friends my birthday is coming up soon and i'm feeling the impulse of "get yourself a little treat" but $60 cardigans are NOT little treats. hold me back i do NOT need more.

woah woah i need to know the context for ROUND 2. where's round 1.

Relato de fórum em que a pessoa diz que: Accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was mortified. Today, I saw he emailed me this: “Subject: "Love you!" Hey - Just wanted to say that I didn't mean to laugh at you when you accidentally signed off on our call with a "love you." I just found it funny because I've definitely done that before, and I know it happens. I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :) Have a great weekend! We'll follow up about my call with Chris on Wednesday, as discussed.”

“I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :)”

my neighbours just brought over a tin of cookies and a big bag of Christmas crack to give me, and joked "don't ruin your dinner now" but little do they know... I am going to ruin my dinner. Being an adult has few perks, but eating chocolates for dinner is one of them

as an English teacher I will now be explaining these concepts like this. thank you

I don’t think I’d be getting any writing done if not for my author buddies :) It’s about support and reflection and I think that’s pretty cool

For decades, I've heard that "writing is lonely business" and sitting here, poking on my upcoming novel I'm struck by a thought.

Writing - at least for me - is very much a social activity. Working closely with beta readers, having chats with fellow writers, editors, etc. It's a group effort.

Cassie and Max, employees of the prestigious Lucid Corporation... and also the protagonists of the short story I've got in beta >:)
