A digital graphic with a warm beige background adorned with minimal, dark starburst illustrations. In the top-left corner, an avatar of a person with smooth dark hair peeks over a silver laptop. In the top-right corner sits a small, neat stack of three colorful books.
The center features a crisp white square containing dark brown text that reads:
"DOES YOUR PREMISE CHALLENGE YOUR PROTAGONIST ON A PERSONAL LEVEL?
A premise becomes more compelling when resolving the external conflict also requires something meaningful from the character.
• What belief or fear influences your protagonist's decisions?
• How does the central conflict challenge that belief?
• What uncomfortable truths might they have to confront?
• How could pursuing their goal force them to change?"
The handle "@writingitwells" is written in small blue text at the bottom right.

Make your art. Share it. Keep making it. Keep sharing it. Read books. Write music. Create, create, create. Love who you love. Love yourself. That’s the only path through the suffocating darkness pressing down at all times. #art #creativity #music #love #reading #writing #mentalhealth

Buying books has become as rare as opening a new credit card. Customers tell you, “Not today” or “I’ll pass for now.” If people spent their money on books instead of useless things they’ll never use, the world would be more educated. Got little money? Buy books.

Behold! Its Gary! Being... you know... the way it is! #SFFChat #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky
Being used to something didn’t mean you necessarily enjoyed its presence, though. Penny kept her breathing even and her gaze relaxed when the carcasses rolled across the floor, meat and sinew bubbling and popping as Gary made a body for itself. Her empty stomach churned. The NDA made this so much harder than necessary. Penny took a step back. If she was going to vomit she needed to not do it on her summoning circle.
   	“Speak, summoner.” Gary’s voice was a rotten-meat whisper. Amber lights glittered in the sockets of the lamb’s skull

Unborn ones, take nothing for granted. Not nectar, not thirst. May your lives be uneclipsed, your failures be passing. May you have your portions of beauty, of grief, in a garden whose plants and birds I cannot imagine. - Jane Hirshfield #Poetry 💙📚👀
I speak with the future. by Jane Hirshfield

We sit on our skeletons' bones. We hear with our skeletons' bones. We speak of beauty by moving our jaws and our teeth.

The original meaning of Paradise: a place, a walled garden. Our lives, our stories, this hour inside one. A staircase from Piranesi. A hummingbird drinking.

Outside it, vanishing species and rivers. Outside it, Nanjing, Ninevah, Dresden.

Outside it, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, Kyiv. Here.

The world starts and ends, starts, ends, ends again, restarts.

A kalpa is brief, and wall-less.

Unborn ones, take nothing for granted.

Not nectar, not thirst.

May your lives be uneclipsed, your failures be passing.

May you have your portions of beauty, of grief, in a garden whose plants and birds I cannot imagine.
