Me: Go ahead, ask me anything about my writing!
Friend: When are you going to finish your book?
Me:

Palpatine, wearing his sith hood, standing in front of many other politicians as he addresses them and he says "The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed."

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

From a usability standpoint, all these extra AI prompts aren't just irritating -- they slow you down. They make the applications a little clunkier to use. You're just trying to search, but now the search window is prompting you with SEVERAL different terms and questions. It's noise.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

It's not looking good friends! We're at 18k/30k as of June 26

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · Jun 19

I got 12 more days to write 15k words. Can I do it? Maybe! At this point anything could happen and it wouldn't faze me.

Because sometimes I just need a little reminder:🤔

Not everyone who wants to write can write. Many are never able to write.😢

My ability to write is a privilege. Writing isn't a chore, it's a blessing. ✍️

Today I GET to write. I am so very lucky that I get to write.🍀

Feeling a bit discouraged and behind today. I know writing takes a long time, and I know the time will pass anyway, but it still feels like I'm taking way too long to finish my novel. There's still so much I have to do.

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · Jun 15

Okay so now that we have a Twitter alternative in Bluesky, can we do Instagram next? Im getting sick of all the bs that they're trying to pull now.

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · Jun 5

Wrote 6000 words on Tuesday. Wrote 0 on Wednesday. Consistency who?

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · Jun 5

Thank you so much! This is a great resource! I really appreciate it!

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · Jun 5

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your response. I'm trying to convey that she's extremely muscular, but realistically I wasn't sure you could tell that if she was wearing full plate mail. For some reason Google was being so unhelpful for me.

Also Google is no help to me. I do not need to know what the clothing Under Armor looks like nor do I need an armor build for a fantasy game

Elise Devaney @elisedevaney.bsky.social · May 28

Legitimate (and possibly dumb) question: Can you tell a person's build if they're wearing suit of armor? One of my characters wears armor and is very tall and muscular but would you be able to tell at first glance?

“How to worldbuild without infodumping” absolutely not! If the catalogue of ships was good enough for Homer, it’s good enough for you!

me: big day of writing ahead

the big day of writing:

four screenshots from the show spongebob squarepants.

in the first image, spongebob is at his desk looking dertermined and fired up, as he clutches hold of a pencil, and is ready to write something.

the next image, spongebob is at a desk, with wide nervous eyes, profusely sweating as he's writing but looks unsure

the next image is spongebob grabbing a pillow, biting it, hugging it and crying

the next image is spongebob holding up a piece of paper that only has the word "the" written on it in very fancy font

Good morning, #CampRevPit! Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight.
What would 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 say your book is about?

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.
