Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026On the recommendation of some friends, I've been diving into Control and Alan Wake. I'm really enjoying the storytelling. I've so far beat both main games and have played The Foundation. I look forward to seeing what the upcoming Phasmophobia event involves.👀👻 020

Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026#SFFChat Hmm. Stasia would probably have a cat. Kida would have a bearded dragon or some other type of lizard. 031
Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026#SFFChat Stasia would be the one getting them into trouble and Kida would be the one trying to keep them alive. Stasia's younger and inexperienced and doesn't always think through her actions. Kida would take stock of resources and make mental lists of what they needed to do to survive the island. 041
Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026#SFFChat The world of my first book is post-apocalyptic and the two POV characters have spent most of their lives in a largely underground compound. Even the scouting parties that go out for resources consider the outside world to be a pretty wild landscape. It's terrifying and dangerous. 041
Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026#SFFChat For my Dythoids series, I created car-size acid-spitting beetles that have another...fun...little detail.😏 The younger ones are more brown but they get more iridescent as they grow. They create massive glass and metal pyramids for their hives that they build by scavenging the broken world. 141
Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 01/05/2026#SFFChat Hi hello! I'm Courteney and I write primarily post-apocalyptic speculative fiction. I think for a final meal I'd ask for homemade cheesy ham and potato casserole and pumpkin cheesecake. 031

Courteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 09/04/2026It probably depends on the story and your writing style and just overall context, but personally I prefer to have short chapters with the POV's name at the top of each new chapter. Especially in the second book in my series, there are some chapters under 500 words because of context. 010

Reposted by CourteneyCourteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, & dystopian stories often hold up a mirror to the dark corners of the world around us. But that doesn't mean they, like our world, can't also have moments of peace & connectedness. How do you find a balance in your day-to-day? #Booksky #specfic #indiebook #SFF #scifi 121
Reposted by CourteneyCourteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Fear of the future, the unknown. Worse, fear of the known. Fear of a world where harshness is the standard, where one wrong move could leave you scarred from an attack by acid-spitting beetles. It takes luck, knowledge, & a strong will to venture out & survive... Would you do it? #booksky #scifi 181
Reposted by CourteneyCourteney @courteneywrites.bsky.social · 18/03/2025What is the source of hope? Is it in joy, in community, in acts of creation? Perhaps, instead, it is at the heart of further conflict. That hope of success, of victory, no matter the cost. Is it worth it? What would you do? Where does your moral 🧭 lead? 💙📚 #indieauthor #scifi #apocalyptic #Dythoids 142
