keri-p.bsky.social @keri-p.bsky.social · 24/09/2024You have to open the laptop? I knew I was doing something wrong 🤦♀️ 000
Quinn Blueheart, Author 🔥🔞 @qblueheart.bsky.social · 25/09/2024I thought the tea came first. All this time I’ve been doing it wrong?! Oh my! The heavens have opened. Sunshine is now pouring down on my laptop, and somewhere, in the distance, a choir is singing…🌞 000

Dr Emma Byrne @sciwriby.bsky.social · 25/09/2024The void is clearly in terrible mood. Offer it tea? 010
Curiosity Cat @curiositycat.bsky.social · 23/09/2024It doesn't hate your novel, it's wondering what you're doing inside on such a beautiful day. 🌻 (My to-do list is giving me the same look, but I'm ploughing through anyway because I'm almost finished and then I'm FREEEEEEE. 🎉) 000
Hazel Katherine Larkin @hazelklarkin.bsky.social · 23/09/2024Glad I'm not alone. Mind you, I don't have the imagination to write a novel! 020

Librarian to The Man @nobpeck.bsky.social · 23/09/2024I have been working on a children’s book since 1985. I have the story very roughly roughed out and preliminary sketches for all the illustrations, but only 2 illustrations completed. Hoping to have the first book done before I die, but no guarantees. I took “slow and steady wins the race” to heart. 010
Kit Whitfield - fantasy writer @kitwhitfield.bsky.social · 24/09/2024The only solution is to decide that you're going to write tons of REALLY STUPID STUFF and shove it into the void's gaping maw out of sheer spite. 010
