Walked into the opening chapter of the first book I ever tried to write. Same trees. Same ferns. Only in the book it was a full moon, and all you saw was the back of a young woman, fleeing. 🌕 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Last night’s D&D boss fight (Finally) was an absolute rollercoaster, we thought we all were going to die by round two, but three rounds later with insane luck, we actually managed to subdue the boss! 🎲🐉🔥 #dnd #bossfight #tabletop #rpg

An ancient AI introduces itself expecting worship. The human nicknames it Skippy. That one exchange in Craig Alanson's Columbus Day tells you everything about both characters. What's a line of dialogue that told you a lot about a character? #BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #ExForce

Took some more time to work on this puzzle and there's still a long way to go, but that's perfectly fine because I find it so relaxing! 🧩✨😌 #puzzle #hobby #relaxation

Spent the whole day with the family celebrating a birthday. Good food, good company, and no screens. A really nice day. 🎂❤️

Update, the party met a beholder with a gambling problem and, naturally, exploited it. 👁️🎰 Walked away with a ton of gold, then started a fight in a casino to get a rival beholder out, so our new friend could get back in to gamble. Easily one of the funniest encounters in a long time. #TTRPG #DnD

The best twists are the ones you don't see coming. Tonight my DM proved it: all those mini bosses were just a distraction. We thought this was the finale, but the road goes on. Dice are rolling. 🎲 #TTRPG #AmWriting

Naming characters is weirdly hard. Get it wrong and the whole person feels off. How do you land on the right name? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Some chapters you plan. Others show up fully formed and demand to be written. Book 2 keeps surprising me. #SciFiThriller #ProjectAesir #IndieAuthor

Having a quiet Sunday watching the World Championship in cycling. It's a good way to sneak in a small nap once in a while :)

What a crazy long day at work. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this mentally exhausted, so I’m really looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hope everyone has a great one! #work #weekend #relaxation 😴✨🙌

Wednesday game night! Rolling dice and we are getting close to the end of the campaign, with a quick side quest involving a time dragon before we head into the big boss fight. #Wednesday #GameNight #DungeonsAndDragons #Campaign #BossFight 🎲🐉✨

Alpha and beta readers: how many is too many? I go small and specific. One or two people who read the right genre and will tell me the truth. Has that worked for you? #AmWriting

Checking in on yesterday's theater trip. It had its moments, but I’ve definitely seen this troupe perform better in other plays, still it was a pretty good evening. 🎭✨ #theater #evening #performance

Dice rolling evening and I'm loving it. Only downside, I'm sinking further into sleep deprivation. Worth it though. #DnD #TTRPG

Finished the first draft of my second book, Node 7, but after a reread, I decided to scrap it and start over. Now that I’ve finished rewriting the outline and beats, I’m two chapters in and really hoping this version sticks! ✍️📖✨ #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Really nice to see a lot of the family again, but I need to get some sleep today 😀 #WritingCommunity

Weekend, finally. Though there's another event this time, a family birthday party, so I have a feeling I won't be catching up on the sleep I need this weekend either.🥱😴 #WritingCommunity

The post-draft phase is its own strange territory, the book exists, but you just can't see it clearly yet. What do you do between finishing a draft and starting to revise? I struggle with not starting all over or just dropping it #AmWriting

Henrik Gjelstrup @henrikgjelstrup.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Some of the best lines I've written came from trying to describe something I actually saw. There's a texture to observed detail that's hard to manufacture. What's yours? #AmWriting

I’m absolutely loving the start of autumn, the soft light, the crisp air, and those moody rainstorms. I did forget my jacket today though, so I definitely got the full experience of a downpour! 🍂🌧️🧥 😄#autumn #fall #rain #weather

Henrik Gjelstrup @henrikgjelstrup.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I totally didn't get enough sleep this weekend, so starting off already behind isn't great for me, especially since I can't think when I'm sleep deprived. 😞

What's the best piece of feedback you've ever received on your writing? Not the most detailed - the one sentence that changed how you thought about the whole thing. #AmWriting

Nope, stayed up late anyway. So now I'm hoping I can catch up on sleep tonight. 😴 #WritingCommunity

"Getting close to the end of a manuscript changes how you read the earlier chapters. You know what everything is for now. It's a different kind of editing. #AmWriting #IndieAuthor

🕷️ Spider warning — photo below! On one of the hikes I went on during my vacation, I came across this nice little creature. “Little” might be a generous description, but it was absolutely beautiful. Luckily, it was happy to stay in its web and pose for a photo.

Taking the evening off to sit down, roll some dice, and face down monsters and riddles in our D&D campaign. Best kind of storytelling break there is. #DnD #TTRPG #WritingCommunity

"Kill your darlings' is real advice, and it took me a while to learn. I've got a manuscript I fear I'll never finish because it was my first darling. What have you cut that made the book better even though it hurt? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Henrik Gjelstrup @henrikgjelstrup.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

The avalanche of revisions is real. You fix one thing, find three more. The trick is remembering you're making it better, not just different. How do you tell the difference and when are you done? #AmWriting

The moment you finish a first draft, what does it actually feel like? For me it's more like surfacing than finishing. Not done, just up for air. #AmWriting #IndieAuthor

Writers, what's the most useful thing you've discovered about your own writing by reading it back months later? Not errors, though sometimes in a flow I hit the keys so badly I can almost not read it. Something about how you think. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
