Hello, friends! We came across this fellow, and don't quite know what to make of him. He calls himself Quillbert, and says that he's on a crucial mission to investigate some exciting book news. I'm not entirely sure where he's from, but this news does sound exciting...

Can anyone recommend any cosy sci fi books, preferably with a mystery? Something similar in style to Becky Chambers and Grace Curtis. Looking for inspiration with a wip.

Fuck it, it's time, we're doing #WIPSnips again!

Still primarily from Shark Smoocher (now known as The Stars Will Be Our Ocean) until I make some more headway in my other drafts. And for "system," what else could I post but a moment with Dani and Patches?

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!

So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

Not considering telekinetic locksmiths is at LEAST one star off their Yelp rating.

Found out that Frozen land will be open when we go to Disneyland next year and, after seeing the animatronic Olaf’s, this is how I see our holiday ending.

More vibes, Halla has a system for getting into work without having to be surrounded by too many people. #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips

Well that’s one of Mr Geir’s Xmas presents sorted!
It's ridiculous how @masterreplicas.bsky.social 's secret goal is to make me poor. 😅

Struggled with this so decided to go for the first time Halla and Strope meet properly. She’s rescued him from some feral kids and bought him home. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

Fox has a plan. This means something interesting, and probably dangerous, is about to happen.

Alitzah has long, glossy black hair. Cailo has lank, black-grey hair. Oula keeps her red hair in a tight plait and I’anthal has glorious hair.
It’s mid-length brown but he has two long braids that are entwined with beads. His culture use beads to tell each individuals story but I’anthal is missing
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Here's an appearance one that I don't think we've talked about yet: What does your character's hair look like?

Do they have hair? Long or short? What color? How do they usually wear it? Is it important to them?

No Global, scale it out and I have "galactic". It is a gift...a gift to Toren from Elara. Kinda rough as first draft, but you get the gist.

Unexpectedly have one for this, though it might get cut later 😄 Elara still exploring Thalassa. Not following orders.
