Planning all the plans! Hello writerly friends! How was your month? The last month was a little bit better for me, it felt more productive than the months before but now summer comes. Summer is always a difficult time for writing, at least for me.

Yes, I forgot to make a post for last month, shhh, let's just ignore that. Hello writerly friends of #WriteSky, I'm glad you're here! Apparently this year has no intention of getting less chaotic, so I guess we just have to run with it. Time keeps moving, there's stories to tell and art to make.

Hello writerly friends of #WriteSky ! Long time no see! I know, I neglected these posts out of sheer overwhelm with, well... everything. Frankly, I feel like I'm just now starting this new year.

Sooo... I've been thinking. #WriteSky Always dangerous. Point one: I want to get a book done this year, and possibly publish it, or at least get it into the editing phase.

March 2 Hello writerly friends of #WriteSky ! Here we are, the official end of our first project of 2025. I think it was a success, but it suffered from January25 syndrome. You know what I mean? ⬇️

February 17 Hello writerly friends of #WriteSky! Yes, today's post should have been up yesterday, oops. We took a little trip to Köln for a concert on Friday and that just fucked with my whole feeling of time. There was also no writing, but the concert was awesome, so it evened out. ⏬

**February 13** Hello writerly friends of #WriteSky! It's the midweek nag post. (It's late, I know. Time, what even is it?) I'm a bit at a loss what I should tell you about in this post, I hope we're all busy writing our stories. Persistence and, resilience, that's what we need right now.

January 19 Hello writerly friends of #WriterSky! One week into our project, hopefully with some words to show for. Without words, no themes to discover, right? Let's talk about themes today.

barbex 🌈 🚫AI @barbex.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

try taking notes, try looking at structure, that sort of thing. But if it doesn't work for you? Toss it. Write. Just start writing. Don't bother with establishing backstory, don't look for a hook or an inciting incident. Just write the scene you want to write. Will it look something like this?

Fellow writers, show us what fandoms you've written for in AO3! #fanfiction #AO3 Well, writing #fenders ficlets like I'm being obsessed (I am, yes, I am, I will keep writing these idiots in love), makes Dragon Age the main one. But I'm also proud of the Original Works.

Hello writerly friends! It is a sign of the times that I forgot to make a post and a plan yesterday, on the last day of November. I'm not entirely sure where the month went. (The disastrous election on the other side of the ocean certainly didn't help.)
