Has anyone encountered this variety of a #writerscam? From an alleged #bookclub wanting to discuss your novel that has not been released yet? I almost fell for that one. #booksky #indieauthor

The reviews are in . . . They like me, they really like me!

They like me, they really like me! #thesaltandlightexpress is batting 1000. Garnering good reviews. #booksky #indieauthor #drexelmfa

Launched into writing hyperspace Joan, Vanessa and “Atmosphere” beamed me up

Why I read. Well, one reason. “Atmosphere” launched me out of my writing stupor. #booksky #author #lgbtq #fiction

Thanks for your kind words.

Your social media chops Canva is a great (and fun) shortcut to promotional prowess

I have always been an Adobe gal but #canva has really grown on me. I used it to make my book trailer. #booksky #author #writer

I braved extreme traffic to attend a #novel #writers discussion group yesterday. Comment from someone who teaches in an #MFA program I never heard of: Don’t expect any of us to read your book. Writers don’t read other writers’ books. Where’d all those books I’ve been reading come from? #booksky

@indiebookhunt.bsky.social #booksky #indiebook Glad I am on this path.

We are stylin' The novel is about to go through the green eyeshade stage

Thanks for my first laugh of the day. It’s only 6:35.

A #novel that reminds me why I love to read. I am now reading her “Long Bright River,” set in #Philly, violating my own rule of not reading same #author back to back. #godofthewoods #lizmoore

Another good year for reading, especially fiction. Hard to pick a favorite but I believe it was "Real Americans" by Rachel Khong. #booksky #writingcommunity #bookshelf #fiction

Writers and Substack, my take I stumbled onto Substack by accident when we were trying to come up with a newsletter format for our Drexel literary journal.

#substack is a great grassroots platform and resource for #writers. Take a look around before you write.

I’ve been posting #Advent thoughts every morning on Facebook. #carpediem It’s a practice that is keeping me #inthemoment.

Yep, a giant f u to the pearl clutchers of the left and the right.

Good morning. It’s the First Sunday of #Advent. #PreparetheWay #Hope is still out there.

3,665 words The writer in me reawakens (finally)

I finally get back to the keyboard. Why was that so hard? #writing #fiction #MFA #novel #story

Thanks, Eric!
