Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 07/09/2026WHIMSY! ✅ This month, I wrote a story inspired by one of my fondest memories. Which could mean anything, since I might be a plastic lawn flamingo from outer space. I've given NOTHING away by saying that. @whimsyfiction.bsky.social 291
Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Today was an amazing day. The view from the top of the hill is mighty fine. Technicality, it's another few minutes before I get there, if we go by time of day (night, rather).static.klipy.com2026 Turning 40Alt: 2026 Turning 40 020
Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 06/08/2026What a trip. 😎 She says from her computer desk. Because she lives on the internet now. But it's okay. The window is open. Already looking forward to September, @whimsyfiction.bsky.social ! 020
Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The weird part of my brain needs exactly one of you to break up with me. But I'm posting about it and finding one more person to follow instead, so it'll line up on 129. Which isn't as cool because it's not a power of 2, but oh well. 🙃 110

Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 20/07/2026@wiswell.bsky.social , holy shit, did I just READ a montage?! How does one even write a montage? Like that, apparently! That was so inspiring, it hurt. Or perhaps the other way around. What a great chapter. I'm loving the book so far. 🩷👏 320
Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Loved "Someone You Can Build a Nest In." Loved "Wearing the Lion." Can't wait to read this one! All of my favorite authors (Tchaikovsky, Wisewell, North, Chambers, Wells) excel at making readers feel empathy for something "other." For Wisewell, it's monsters. I am so ready to meet this dragon. 🩷🐉 120
Avery Other @averyother.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The idea: day 1, nigh immediate. The actual writing: last minute. As one does. This was fun! Let's do it again next month. 😁 @whimsyfiction.bsky.social 040
