Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 01/04/2025'Steering the Craft' by Ursula K Le Guin. Expert advice and just a pleasure to read. Going through the book and the exercises actually feels like a journey as opposed to a collection of techniques. 110

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 06/12/2024It depends. If I really like the author I tend to read it, if it's a new book I tend to skip it at first. Non-fiction I read the notes almost always. In fiction, definitely more likely to read one at the end. When I first pick up a book I want to start with the story. #BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚 172

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Parasite Eve definitely needs one. So many people don't know how great that game was. On my list of top three games that need a remake on modern systems along with Chrono Trigger and SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2. 000

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Does anybody use an e-ink tablet with pen for planning, outlining, note taking, writing, or editing? I've been looking at the Kindle Scribe or the Remarkable Paper Pro. I thought it would be easier than printing chapters out for proofreading and editing. #writingcommunity 💙📚 #eink #digitalpaper 020

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 30/11/2024If people are annoyed with them they should just filter them themselves. A lot of people seem to be enjoying them and I've had a few spark discussions about authors. I'd hate to see this feed start forcing filters on others for hashtags that are driving engagement for #Booksky. 2180

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Definitely a book that's more about the journey than the resolution. Excellent worldbuilding and a fun Protagonist (some might even call him a Hiro) to follow. 110

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Thanksgiving is tomorrow in the US. I know a lot of us here aren't feeling too great about the country right now, but find something to be thankful for.

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 27/11/2024The twins were such a major part of why I liked those books but I went with the one I did to start with the one that I read first. Raistlin always drew attention, but the 'Dragons of ...' ones have Fizban too who always amused me. 010

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Not sure which is my favorite but one that always sticks out in my memory is The Rats in the Walls. 110
Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Ursala K Le Guin's 'Steering the Craft', and Donald Maass' 'The Breakout Novelist' 010
Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Had to look at the alt text to figure out what book this was since the title didn't show completely on the spine. Love the old book photo though. Is this in your personal collection? My mother has a very old Tennyson in hers that I've always loved. 100

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I love myth and stories of fae: their societies, their pranks, the rules to not offend, the consequences of disturbing their realm, and their magic.

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Definitely a very fun hobby to get into. As far as finding people to play, you might check out your LGS (local game store.) Many of them have places to play in the stores and host games regularly. Depending on where you live there might be an Adventurer's League game. Some people play online too. 110

Eric Sisco @ericsisco.bsky.social · 23/11/2024There are Kobo apps for your phone or computer, or on a computer you can read them in the browser. You can also download them and read them with Adobe Digital Editions. I'm going to try to convert them to put on my Kindle but I haven't done that yet and that might be a bit more technical. 010
