I have again, dear readers, deviated from my main novel in progress to write a short story that I think is a work of genius that every lit mag I submit to, will reject. #amwriting #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #authorsky #writerscommunity #litmag

I mean, my MC who's trying to get away with murder, is an insanely sharp, top class political strategist. So, now I have to be an insanely sharp, top class political strategist, trying to get away with murder. But I'm not smart enough to be one. #amwriting #writingcommunity #authorsky #writerlife

Exceeded expectations, because of the response. Was expecting maybe some interaction, but the emails, subscriber counts and download counts have been at least 2x more than what our target was. Will start recording for season two soon!

Hurtling into the insanity armed with a horror anthology for 2027. Theme: POV Stories told by the family pet, the neighbour, the oldest tree, the flying chocolate wrapper, the security guard, the ghoul that lives in the fridge. #writingcommunity #horroranthology #horror #shortstories #litmag

What are we reading everyone? Are we loving or hating it? Hump day and I’m starting with a book that could potentially be a comp for my current novel WIP. Recommended to me because of the braided narrative and multi-POV work. #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #booksky

Possible, all of it. But it's still a scary thought.

I have this fear where the authors of all the books I've hated show up to hate on mine when it is finally published. Any remedies to cope? #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writesky #writerslife #authorsky

Writing the rejection letters is torture. The pieces aren't bad, but they just don't fit at the time 😢

Amrita C @amritac.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

That will always be true, I think. Because I don't think editors and readers themselves know till they actually read. It can be frustrating.

Hello #5amwritersclub, haven't been showing my face here for a bit, because the WIPs have come down on me like an avalanche. I've done the opposite of a self-insert so hard, now finding it difficult to get inside my MC's head again. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #authors
