Hey #smutsky! How long is your longest sex scene? I have a 2,033 word sex scene in a novella. Not the only sex in the book, but that one scene is 8.1% of the whole book. #writersky #booksky

Goal word count for my novel is 80k words but based on how the first chapter went I expect it to be at least 90k. #WIP #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

It feels good writing a strong female lead again. Really excited to show what she is capable of! #WIP #WritingCommunity #writersky

Another good session on my #WIP. One paragraph into chapter two, 3800 words. The words are coming! #writingcommunity #writersky

Squeaked out another 900 words on my #WIP today. Should be done with chapter one tomorrow. #writersky

Authors, it’s ok to lift each other up! Your readers are probably not my readers. We are not in competition. You help me find my readers and I’ll help you find yours. #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity #writing

Been trying to engage with a lot of posts on #booksky to help people get noticed by the algorithm. Let’s support our authors and book review bloggers to get seen by Bluesky! Love this community.

Ok some potentially exciting news. My favorite #editor said she might be able to help me out but I need to get my manuscript ready for her by mid summer. Can’t be later because she won’t be able to help in the fall. I have writen 1600 out of 80k words. Wish me luck! #writingcommunity #WIP #writersky

#artists #writersky, where do you work and how have you made that place special? I have an art studio in my basement with lots of little touches I’ll share that have made it great. The first one is this epic industrial light switch. It makes a very satisfying “ka-chunk” noise. #art #writingcommunity

Hey #writersky, what gear do you use to write? Something distraction free? Something with satisfying key clicks? I have tried a few different setups, but honestly just typing in Apple pages on my MacBook, word count at the bottom, it makes me fly!

Going to need a female editor for this #WIP. The main character is a woman, and though a few of my books have had female main characters I feel more comfortable having it edited with that perspective. #writersky #writingcommunity #editing

Christened this new manuscript and got 1500 words down on my #WIP today while waiting for my car to be repaired. 78,500 to go. Not bad for a first session! Really excited about this story! #writingcommunity #writersky

I tried a new thing and made a blog post on Goodreads. I only have 3 followers as an author but it felt good to post. #amwriting #writersky #writingcommunity

I’m gonna try something radical and stop promoting my books. Just be a part of the community. There’s a lot of great people here. #booksky

“If you like quick, tension-filled romance with sharp edge, this is absolutely worth picking up, again and again!”

I’ve been writing since 2019. I’ve written two short stories, a novelette, 3 novellas and a short novel (43k words). I finished an outline for an 80-90k word novel and I’m going to try to get it traditionally published. Follow me on my journey. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I wish it was required that someone leaving a 1 star review on a #horror story must do a written review. I feel like most of the time it is something like “this book is too scary/horrible!”

It’s like no, that’s actually a 5 star review. #booksky

If you read one book by a black author for #blackhistorymonth, let it be “How to Be an Antiracist” by @ibramxk.bsky.social

We need to be looking to black leaders in these dark times and listen to their voices.
