One pleasant experience in bsky is the lack of aggressive advertising. I forgot what it was like to scroll through a feed without being accosted by "sponsored, hey, you really need to see this!" ads about crypto or whatnot.

The author is stress-writing; the stress-writing stresses the author out all the more.

How I arrived at bluesky

From my notes:

Stanzas 8 – 11 was where I started tearing up.

I feel seen. This poem reads like a mirror whereby each contrast between the Soul and the Persona is woven with my own memories; and these memories are recollections of what I have seen with my eyes and of what I have heard in my head.

Hey new folks on Bluesky, please remember that artists and writers are still getting established here, and promoting them in your feed to others is a big part of the participation here. Never hesitate to push someone else’s post about their work!

For now, framing Croi's inability to handle social situations to a crime scene is as close as I can get to translating the surreal hyperbole seen in Bocchi the Rock, one of the inspirations for Croi, into text. I'm happy with it!

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

My goal for my feed is I want to try and show myself compassion. A space, hopefully safe, where I can publicly journal (which I never do) some favourite moments of my stories and to normalise giving myself a measured pat on the back while in the company of others.

in hindsight the plot of The Great Gatsby makes infinitely more sense when you remember that the author and all of the characters have been driven to the brink of stark-raving, shoelace-eating madness by three years of a global flu pandemic

First post!

Hello writers of Blue Sky. I'm an editor currently writing my own story, Soul-Sooth (working title).

I'm new to social media but I hope I can use Bluesky to yap about the things I love. <3
