Can someone explain software updates to me like I’m an idiot? like what would happen if we just… stopped? I don’t want to have to buy a new computer every 5 years. Is it purely greed or is there an actual technical reason? Genuinely asking 🤣 #techhelp #appupdates #ITguy

“Reading really helps me process loss.”

“Oh yeah? Like books on grief? Joan Didion?”

“…Sure.”

Waking up on a Wednesday and not finding a new episode of Turning to Story in my inbox: @annamwrites.bsky.social 😭 (it’s ok please take your time) #podcast #podcastrecs #writingtips #turningtostory #writinglife #writingpodcasts #booksky

At last. #booksky #thriller #tbrlist #megandavidhizar #gaslit #karenmcmanus

Walking to work in an Amish town:

Pros - fresh air, sunshine, exercise!
Cons - the need to be ever-vigilant against horseshit

SO excited to see #Gaslit by @megandavidhizar.bsky.social on shelves THIS TUESDAY! Get it here and be prepared to cry: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/727439... #yathriller #booksky #yafiction

Any writing conference recs in 2026? What's a good conference for someone who:

- has several completed manuscripts ✍️
- is currently querying 📃
- lives in the midwest US (open to travel) 🌍
- writes YA mystery 🔍
- interested in craft and networking

Was looking into the AWP Writer to Writer Mentorship Program, but would love to hear from people who've done the program! Thoughts? Benefits? Is applying worth the membership fee? #writersky #associationofwritersandwritingprograms #AWP #writingmentor #mentorshipprogram #writingtips #amquerying

I’m a writer in the query trenches and would love to connect with the Bluesky writing community! Looking for query tips, good pitch contests, a critique partner, etc. #amquerying #amwriting #booksky #critiquepartner
