I think I’d probably go to another spot since I haven’t bought anything on Tiktok. Interesting concept though

OK, I admit to getting slightly carried away with the number of platforms I upload the same post to, but that means a potential reader has more than one choice, right? drewfaraday.com/2026/10/03/r... drewfaraday.substack.com/p/rejection-... medium.com/@drew.m.fara... tuhat.net/@drew-farada...

Rejection Can Simply Mean Redirection

Here of late, I've been noticing a substantial rise in the number of posts on various sites related to the age-old concept of rejection.

My current read/listen. Hysterical treatment of the grammar universe & great big meanies As someone who’s been accused of knowing too much grammar for my own good, I resemble that remark

Great point. I’ll be sure to abide

She scoffed and shook her head. “You’re as bad at lying as you are at hiding, kid. You say it too strong and one too many times, not to mention getting a goofy look on your face like you’re about to fart in polite company. Listen to how I say my name—Sunny. Hear the difference?" (continued)

Thanks for the amazingly thorough FAQs. The work you put into it for the benefit of others exemplifies the positive impact social media can have

Agreed. I wonder what I’d think of his style today. Might have to test it out

Interesting. When I was a teenager I found Ubik & Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in a box in my family’s attic, along with Bradbury, Asimov, & Le Guin Maybe it was the time in my life, but I thought Dick’s writing was great. Haven’t read them since, which is my m.o. with a lot of books

I’m reading How To Kill A Language by Sophia Smith Galer Might seem depressing at first glance, but it’s a fascinating read

Not sure. It might've been the whole debacle with Kindle Vella that turned me off to serializing. Maybe it's time for some reframing

Agreed. Meditation is a wonderful routine

Drew Faraday @faraday-author.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

So far, so good. Just posted two chapters earlier today & 20 readers responded, so I won't complain. The platform itself is straightforward. I tried out Wattpad a couple years ago but wasn't impressed, so I plan to give that a try as well. Have you tried Wattpad?

Sorry to say I'm still getting an error message. Again, it could be something on my end. I'm uploading the profile jpg from my WordPress site by Copy image address Is there another way to do that?

Drew Faraday @faraday-author.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Great selection, thanks. I'd also toss in Kory Stamper's book that's titled something like Secret Life of Dictionaries

Drew Faraday @faraday-author.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

So I tried it again this morning & am still getting error messages & the info doesn't save (profile pic & the other fields) I'll hold off trying anymore till I hear from you (no rush on my part)

Drew Faraday @faraday-author.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Thanks & will do. I’m having a bit of a problem getting a profile pic to load up, but I’ll try again tmrw I keep getting error messages like the screenshot below Probably on my end since I’ve spent a bit too much screen time today revising my WIP 😆

I'm reintroducing myself after discovering Bluesky's starter packs earlier today. Over the last two years, I've published two Oregon Meltdown companion novels and posted regularly on my website & elsewhere. I look forward to being a bit more active in the Bluesky-verse. drewfaraday.com/links/

No problem setting up my account (excellent platform all the way round, by the way). I clicked the Indie Author part & added one of my two companion novels for consideration, but it looks like I wound up adding it to my reading list instead.

Suffering does not necessarily make your art better, but as long as you're suffering, you may as well get some art out of it.
