Time for my weekly writing date. There are two people at a table nearby with a stack of D&D books and the urge is strong to go over there to ask them about the game they are planning. 😅

Also! First pumpkin spice of the season.

Last week, I had the most incredible time with my dear chums @mbkellyauthor.bsky.social and @tmkutawrites.bsky.social discussing Sapphic book recs. Clearly, I need to have both of them back or start a new podcast so that we can have more unhinged book chats

Every artist I know, in every field of art, could use the compliments. Shower your favourites with praise, my darlings. Enthusiasm is so powerful!

Alanna Smith @alannamode.bsky.social · 16d

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
