Finished The Curious Case of the Werewolf that Wasn't and Meat Cute both by Gail Carriger, pretty short prequels to her Parasol Protectorate series.

I'm out of town for two weeks so no streams but I'm going to try and write everyday, practicing using dictation. See you Oct 6th!

Nadia @specscribbler.bsky.social · Sep 10

made my own basic bitch pumpkin spice latte with trader Joe's pumpkin butter. Gotta celebrate the little things like today's fall-ish weather

But they also provide an opportunity to show character flaws, stressful situations are usually when our worse impulses can come to the forefront. Great opportunity for your characters to do the same. #writersofbluesky

I'm so far behind but I'm gonna catch up! #creativewriting prompt from last Wednesday's #twitch stream. #fightscenes or #actionscenes can have a lot of juggle with making sure the pacing doesn't sag and ensuring the choreography makes sense.

This is a good opportunity to try different styles, voices, or point of views. Since the basic outline is dictated by the story you picked you can focus your creativity in experimenting with how you tell the story. #writersofbluesky

#creativewriting prompt from yesterday's #twitch stream (I've been lazy and got behind 🤫) is taking a well worn story that you know well, like a #fairytale or #myth and retell it.

How has your Wednesday been going? Me? Well, my dog appears to be trying to kill herself and failing that, destroy anything electronic. #joinme as I stream #creativewriting prompts on #twitch #writersofbluesky

It has six stanzas, which have six lines each. The last word of each line in the first stanza is reordered as the last words of the six lines in every stanza. The order is shown in the second image. On stream we only got two stanzas done in 30 minutes but it was a fun exercise. #writersofbluesky

#creativewritingprompt from yesterday's #twitch stream. (I was too tired to post it yesterday 🫩) A #sestina is apl poetry form that doesn't require internal meter or need to rhyme.

Today's #creativewritingprompt from #twitch
Instead of focusing on creating a narrative, really settle into the setting and try and make it feel tangible to the reader.

Photo is of Hercules Grotto in #Morocco #writersofbluesky

Photo taken from inside Hercules' Grotto out to the sea. The words read:
August 27, 2025 Prompt: A character finds themselves in an abandoned building (house, train station, warehouse, etc) Describe the space using all five senses.

Pond (beginning of your story): looking inward, inspiration, uncertainty
Elixir (middle of your story): healthy, toxicity, attending
Anïs Nin (end of your story): the unexplored, submerging, surfacing

I was running pretty behind today for the #twitch stream so I tried using #theliterarywitchesoracle deck for a prompt. I'm not sure how I like this deck for this purpose. But here's what it says in the guide book for each card.

Three cards face up from The Literary Witches Oracle Deck. From left to right Pond, Elixir, Anïs Nin. The writing on the picture says, "Using these cards write a story."

Nadia @specscribbler.bsky.social · Aug 23

first trip to the dog park 😭

Nadia @specscribbler.bsky.social · Aug 21

I find it a fun practice and especially helpful in coming up with unusual metaphors. Let me know what you think or the prompt or defamiliarization #writersoftiktok

Nadia @specscribbler.bsky.social · Aug 21

Today's #creativewritingprompt from the #twitch stream. #Defamiliarization is a technique of presenting common things in unfamiliar or strange ways. It frequently gives the reader an eerie or #uncanny feeling.

Close photo of a branch covered in green leaves. The text reads:
August 21, 2025 Prompt: Write about something (an object, process, norm, place, etc) in an unfamiliar or strange way. The goal is to gain a new perspective and see the world around us differently. If this is too abstract, write from the POV of an alien reporting on a human behavior.
