I have just made the discovery of the century!!!!

If you place your hold on the second book in the series, when you're starting the first, you don't have to wait as long for the second book when you finished the first one!!!

🤯🤯🤯🤯

It is slightly confusing to me, that a handful of Australians is all it takes to apparently completely disrupt the business model of multi billion companies.

(And yes I know most of them don't make money by transactions, they make money by funding fossil fuel infrastructure, but still)

Two panel meme. Upper one shows two red buttons. One reading "Make More money by having more transactions" the other one reads "Pressuring itch dot Io to suppress fully legal content". Panel below shows a carton man in a red shirt profoundly sweating over what to choose and a text reading PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, ...

IT IS HERE!!!

WRITERS REJOICE, SALVATION IS NEAR 😂😂😂😂

I made a very easy to use, very elegant Word Count Tracker, that supports daily, monthly, and project writing goals. It also has an automatic writing streak counter! And it supports up to 8 active projects.

#WIPWednesday I am currently building an Excel based word count tracker for #WritersOfBlueSky. :)
And today's improvement included adding the option to have your daily word goal automatically calculated from your project goal and project deadline. :)

It's coming along very nicely!

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jul 14

Hey quick question.

I wanna start writing fanfic.

How long does it normally take for the AO3 curse to hit? Cause I also have a friend coming over next week. When can I risk start writing? 😃😃

The Project pages are based on @rebeccathorne.bsky.social's 5 sentence method for outlining your novel! It also has a graph showing your writing progress and some space for notes :)

It's currently in beta testing, to make sure it doesn't break on random things, but it'll be yours soon :)

Screenshot of the project page. It has space for the title on the left and a list of days and words written, as well as a little graph. You can set your goal for the project and a deadline. You also got some space to write down notes. The 5 sentence method breaks down your storyline into 5 story points. For a nice pacing these correspond to a percentage of the book when they should hit. This project pages gives you the overview on the percentage. And what that is in word counts for your project. And then has a line for each of the 5 story points so you can have them and check against that. They are. The inciting incident. Leaving home. The midpoint reversal. The beginning of the end. Conclusion.

At the bottom you have a project specific progress bar :)

Hey Writers of BlueSky!

My current WIP is for you!

I made an Excel Based Word Count Tracker.

You just give it a monthly goal and it will automatically tell you the daily word count you should hit for that. It has a nice little progress bar and supports multiple different projects :)

Look:

A screenshot of the basic layout of this word count tracker.
Titled Welcome! You are on a 0 day streak! Keep writing 😊

On the left you have space for up to 8 projects and on the right you have an overview on your monthly and daily goals, and the monthly and daily written words.
On the bottom are three progress bars for your monthly/daily and project progress.

In the middle you have some space for some more Infos and a box to enter your daily word count in.

And well. Taking a greater fiend to a clandestine meeting with other witches to trade rare ingredients behind the backs of the arcane guilds is definitely going to work out just fine.

Vex being close to Angela is *definitely* going to work out *fine*

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jun 17

So of course she ends up on the watchlist of some very powerful people. Powerful people that want her gone.
The court is obviously aware of this, and so they decide that she needs a bodyguard.

A bodyguard that only a few months ago has tried to break into the court and destroy everything. Vex.

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jun 17

Angela might be the most powerful witch in the world, but only because she broke nearly every rule in witchcraft. The most important of which is to never work with the enemy. Yet here she is, working with the Court of Chains. The one place where fiends can run freely.

1

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jun 17

And worst of all: She's working on some grand secret project. Something about binding fiends. Vex is convinced Angela is working on something evil. She's a witch after all. But to proof this, vex has to get through the many layers of protection Angela is constantly wearing.

1

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jun 17

Given that they are the only ones who can actually bind and control a fiend against their will, this is very understandable.

And then there is Angela. The most powerful witch in the world, and she uses that power to completely block out any fiendish influence. Nothing can get through to her.

Danny Krieger @dannykrieger99.bsky.social · Jun 17

Urgh you want actual information about what's happening in the book? FINE. (/j)

Angela is probably the most powerful witch in the world. And all she wants to do is to help others.
Vex is envy incorporated. Literally. And as a greater fiend vex hates witches and warlocks more than anything.

Hello #BookSky 💙📚🌈
A book I did an ARC read for is released into the wild today :)

And I could tell you that it's a fun little sapphic romance. A good enemies to lovers. With a health amount of spice in it. And a very fun plot to engulf the spice in :)

Or I can just show you this discord message

Let's just say I've been looking for some "touch her and die" tropes where the FMC is the stabby one and I am having very high hopes for the next chapter. 😃
Update: the hopes were justified 😍
