Piper's Wandering Pharmacy is back with its new title: Piper's Pied Potions! It's a #sliceoflife with #fantasy and a bit of #Romance . I'm hoping this will be a low-stakes, casual project so the uploads will be when I get the next upload ready! :) tapas.io/series/Piper...

Finished the story and wrote a review that was more like gushing haha You can find the link to the book here: www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

I was offered a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sweet Music...such a fitting title!
It was fun. Warm. Cozy in a way that made me want to read before I sleep so I can feel the book tuck me in for the night. I didn't want to rush through the story. I wanted to savor it like Reverie likes to savor everything in life.
The story is unapologetically slow-paced and once I got to slow down and appreciate the words on the page, I must say I loved the experience.
The world is fast-paced enough without a book to help(?) things speed up further and I really loved the opportunity to slow down and savor every word. To be honest, I kind of didn't want it to end(part of why it took so long for me to finish it, I usually read much more quickly)
It's over now, but I spied the word "series" and I'm planning on clinging to that promise for dear life.
Thank you for the experience, Dear Author. Thank you for Sweet Music.

I can’t believe we’re only 1 week away!! One of Reverie’s quirks is that she’ll hide behind her coffee, books, anything when Decan compliments her. #coffee #cozy #cozyfantasy #books #booktok #writingcommunity #amwriting #writertok #writing #writer #author

I have big feelings about this so here is a thread: I always considered myself to be Circassian AND a citizen of Turkey. I'm not a Turk but I'm Turkish because I'm of this country. My ancestors, having lost in a war years and years ago, came to the lands that were then called Ottoman Empire. 1/?

Azure @azurewrites.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Recently realized I might technically be "white". As someone born and raised in Turkey, it never occurred to me that I might not be my ethnicity to the world around me. I'm Circassian, my ancestors were exiled to Ottoman Empire and I'm just, white? That feels like it erases a big part of who I am.

#WriterSky and #WritingCommunity: freewrite every day you can. Set a timer and write whatever comes to mind. Sometimes it will give birth to gems like this one today

Mean. I'm mean to myself. Would I be able to take a break from me?

Who is "me"?

The part of myself that believes I should be punished. Complained about. Unloved. That's not fair to me or "me". So, today I choose to love me. I choose to listen.

Liar. You're not listening. You're only spitting pretty words to make yourself better. Feel. Feel my wrath. Feel my pain. Don't avoid me. I'm lonely when you do that. Love me. And mean it, you meanie.

#WriterSky #WritingCommunity What to do when you have a nagging feeling that scene you wrote for the chapter in fact belongs in the one before? I can't see a way to continue this chapter in a natural way but it's only been one(1) scene in the chapter. I might go over the scene again

We're having a prompt event over in @writersblockds.bsky.social discord server! This was my attempt at it. I don't write horror often so it was a nice change 🥰

Jack had never been the superstitious type of guy in the office, no, that was Jacob. Jack overworked too often for fanciful ideas.
So, he simply groaned in defeat when a treefall cut off his road through the bumpy village road.
And then he realized. It was dark, so dark that the few street lamps could barely peek through and Jack could hear music, a crackling, glitching children's lullaby, from somewhere in the void surrounding him.
He sighed, rubbing his eyes as he complained into the nether, "Could we get this over with quickly? I need to sleep."
The lullaby stopped for a few seconds and Jack heard an owl's hoot in the brief silence.
"That's an interesting reaction, human," the singer commented with that same digital voice. "Well," they said and a child stepped out in front of the headlights. They tilted their head to the left, their body glitching in and out of existence as they giggled in a crunchy, light voice. "Let's see how long your calm lasts. Run."

#WIPSnips | Neon I used its synonym for this share, which is "new". This snippet is from Piper's Wandering Pharmacy! ^^ #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Dear Reader,
Our Piper loved the cloying scent of herbs and ointments almost as much as he loved the sharp, metallic scent of coins.
You see, his intention was to save up enough coins that he would be able to live a comfortably lazy life once he retired. He told himself that he would finally stop wandering once he had enough money for a land to settle on. And clothes. He loved wearing new, fashionable numbers and he loved preening in the mirror up in his bedroom connected to his shrinkable shop. He would need enough coins to keep up his vanity in those long retirement years.
So, for now, he smiled politely after his customer as she left with a can of ointments in her satchel, making the bell above the shop’s door ring.
The noise of pedestrians drifted in with the bell, as did the damp morning, for mere seconds before he was separated from the world outside once again.
He picked the coins off the counter with a smile on his thin lips and in they went to the pouch at his waist.
Now, some of you might think that a pouch, of all things, is much too small to hold anything of significance. To those people, Piper would say…well. He would most likely laugh and refuse to elaborate.
Such a cheeky little snake.

Piper put the money away, looking up when the bell rang again.
A well-dressed servant had entered his humble shop.
Well, this is going to be a profitable day it seems!
He put a polite smile upon his thin lips and, “Welcome to Piper’s Wandering Pharmacy! How may I help you?”

Some people, when they encounter stories---books, film, TV, etc---take pleasure in identifying the bones of story: Who is the protagonist; We are now in the second act; This character fits that trope; It is a found-family story; For this arc to be satisfying, this beat needs to happen; Etc. 1/

Happy Sunday! What if it’s not that you need to “allow” yourself to relax and it *is* that you have an overactive brain that literally *doesn’t* relax, ever, combined with years of stressing when things slip through the cracks so now you do the thing as soon as you think of it to avoid that stress?
