Is anyone publishing serialized/long-form fiction on #Substack? It's something I'm considering and would love to see how others are doing it. #Writers #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

RIP New York. An unsafe hellhole. If I were a New Yorker, I would be terrified knowing that Andrew Cuomo is free to roam the streets, rather than locked up securely in the Mayor's Office where we can keep a close eye on him. Prayers for NYC 🙏 lock your nursing home doors tn #mamdani #mayor

Waiting to see if your offer on a house got accepted is wild. Never have I been more conflicted about someone being willing to take my life savings.

Who's writing the funniest, weirdest fiction today? I want set-ups to jokes that don't pay off for 200 pages, absurd plots, completely irreverent shit (sure, with some lessons thrown in too, I guess). IOW, who is the Joseph Heller of 2025? #booksky #reading #books #satire #humor

Scrivener is probably my most often used tool that I feel like I barely scratch the surface of. What's your favorite feature? I personally love split-screen, especially when writing a chapter with a lot of references to an earlier one. #writerslife #writing #authorslife #writingcommunity #novels

What's your favorite Vonnegut novel??? I'm reading The Sirens of Titan rn and it's reminding me how much I love him. Where should I go next? The whackier the better. #booksky #satire #books #reading

"Margaret didn’t know who moved in quicker, leaned further in, how long it lasted, whether the shame was instantaneous or if that came later. All she knew is that one moment their lips were separate and then they were together, and he tasted like a fond memory." #WIPSnips #AmQuerying #Writing

Seems like this is getting mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it as a very in-your-face satire. Not the most high concept plot or anything, but I thought the simplicity of the concept and story let the absurdity of the kind of people being parodied shine.

My dad died in Feb, so would someone mind listening to the Carrie & Lowell reissue for me and telling me if Sufjan made it happy this time before I give it a listen? I bet this was why he re-released (was too sad before 😔) but don't want to chance it. #music #sufjanstevens #carrieandlowell

I've given presumably a shot, but I think I'll need a few more years before I'm ready to try putatively.

I don't know how I got by before knowing the word "ostensibly". What would I drop into the middle of a sentence to sound thoughtful and intelligent??? "Apparently"?? Give me a fucking break. #Write #WriteSky #BookSky #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

"She wanted his embrace more than she’d ever wanted anything. She wanted those endless limbs to bind themselves in knots around her. She wanted to be absorbed into him by osmosis, to feel his hot breath on her neck, his teeth in her skin." #WIPSnips #WriteSky #Write #AmQuerying #BookSky

Without question the very worst thing about generative AI is that it has turned people against em dashes. Many associate the beautiful — with trash AI-generated content. The future grows bleaker by the day. #AI #Writing #WritersLife #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

Reading Careless People is like when you're on the train and someone on the phone starts loudly shit talking all their coworkers. You know that they're leaving a ton out to make themselves sound better, but, man, it still makes for good eavesdropping. #booksky #books #facebook

Writing a novel is similar to making pulled pork, in that it feels really really tough (drafting) and then eventually falls apart (querying). #amwriting #amquerying #writerslife #writingcommunity

How much time do you #amquerying authors spend on promotion activities (i.e. social) vs querying vs working on other stories/etc.? For me, it's prob: Promotion: 10% Querying: 40% Additional Submissions: 30% Bonus: Tinkering w/ manuscript: 20% #writer #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting #novels

I think that when there's a penalty in hockey, instead of the fouling team losing one player for two minutes, the team that got fouled should be allowed to put every player on the ice at once for 15 seconds

What inspires you most when you're in a writing rut? For me, reading a good book always helps, but honestly listening to music I love is even better. Some that tend to do the trick for me are: —David Berman —Mitski —Radiohead —Saba —Talking Heads Hbu? #WritingCommunity #AskWriters #AmQuerying

What new/lesser-known author do you think is going to have a huge break-out in the next few years? #booksky I'd have to go with @hollygramazio.bsky.social . The Husbands was so damn good and funny and unique. And worked great as audiobook, to boot :)

"His disembodied mind hovered over the expanse. The sense of puniness in the face of a terrifying world was matched only by that of suffocating, ego-demolishing loneliness. As much as he hated to admit it, it WAS more or less what his mom used to warn him would happen if he smoked weed." #WIPSnips

"She laughed. She had lines like parentheses cupping the corners of her mouth, as if the things she said, her smile, her giggle, was all a side note, something easily skimmed over or ignored and made all the more profound for its incidentality." #WIPSnips #WriteSky #authors #WritingCommunity
