Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Bouncing in here to say hi, I'm still writing. I'm still around. Just been a bit busy and not motivated to post on social media much recently, largely due to The Horrors™. 220
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 17/07/2026If only the notes I type out half-conscious at 3am were a fraction as terrifying and cohesive as the dreams they came from, I'd be tradpubbed already 000
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Writer problems- sit down to write for the first time in like a week with my cup of tea and the nice keyboard, only to immediately lose a half hour to researching the NYC subway system, followed by a half hour of cat distraction. Words were put on a page though! 010
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Well it's official, my querytracker subscription has lapsed. One year since I tried to pitch This Used to be Home to the tradpub trenches! I'm still so incredibly proud of my little book, someday I hope to share it with the world, but it was a risky choice to query in the first place 💙 010
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 02/07/2026We're really goin through it rn (and by 'it' I mean a lack of motivation to write) but hey, 100 words is better than zero 020

Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I feel like I should work on writing more short fiction (drabbles, flash, short stories, etc.) but bridging that gap between poetry and a full on novel is so deceptively difficult 010

Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 15/02/2026How tedious it is to ride the ebb and flow of inspiration. How tiring to feast and hunger for ideas in equal measure. This is about explicit fanfiction btw. Entirely optional, yet so essential to my ongoing tenuous grasp on sanity. 161

Reposted by Grace E. LudlowEdward Hopper @edwardhopper.bsky.social · 17/01/2026In the 1920s, automat cafeterias were among the first public places where women could dine alone. Automat (1927) captures that new urban freedom—and the reflective loneliness that came with it. Is this what it feels like to be free? 28212
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Maybe it's bc I'm back on my meds, but I'm strongly tempted to write a collection of poems based on the work of Edward Hopper (of Nighthawks fame) someone tell me to finish the projects I've already begun before starting a new one 010
Grace E. Ludlow @grace-e-ludlow.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Had some fun with this one! I thought I was being terribly obvious picking the vampire prompt given my recent vampire fixation, but it was neat to write a different kind of vampire for a bit. Ch.2 is halfway done, hopefully will be finished soon! 260
