Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I become a better writer when I treat me as a student of me 😔 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The realization that the chaotic, too much way I write is mirrored by a chaotic, too much way that I read! Nooo! 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I won’t start another book for leisure until I’ve finished four of the ones I’m reading already! 110
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Me, evilly, to myself: pick up another project 😈 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 27/09/2026My prose has definitely taken a hit from social distancing. I like being alone, with people. Being around strangers, unmarked by a mask, did something for my writing that I now have to do without. Count that as another avoidable loss to the pandemic. 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Journaling, nighttime skin routines, words of affirmation: things I do but only if I don’t call them that 100
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Whenever im stuck in a loop around determining the best next step for a big writing project, I journal a question and answer session with myself. It’s a lot harder to get stuck in repetition when you’ve got to hand write your thoughts. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 19/09/2026What does a sustainable writing pace look like to you? #amwriting 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Let’s do the math. If my first draft is gonna be about 80k words, and I write 200 words a day, then the draft will be done in like a year and a half. 100

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 13/09/2026At the point where I’m completing my wips 200 words at a time 😮💨 021
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My cookbook is far from a completed draft, but I love and believe in rhe project so much that I’ve developed a strategy to get it traditionally published. The plan: elaborate, absurd, and demanding. The market: dead. If I succeed, it will be partially because I don’t know enough now not to try :) 020
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 08/09/2026:( I need to learn a series of skills :( trying is so hard bro 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The deadline was challenging but I do think it was in a productive, resilience-building way. 130
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Made deadline on a technicality. 4 active cuticle infections, some kind of conjunctivitis flair, and disfiguring eczema flair. Choosing to believe some of that’s the accumulative effect of having a hectic summer, rather than me needing to slow down. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Need 5 installments of this story by September 1st. It’s taken me two weeks to write 3. How will I fare? 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Where do I put my enthusiasm for my story characters???!!! I just want to talk about them with people but the story isn’t live yet and no one knows them yet 😩 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Two word horror story: marketing research 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 14/08/2026When I write a lot it sucks less when I find the outcome lacking!! People have been trying to give me this advice for…forever, I think. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Don’t use ai, like ever at all. I think that people who use AI think that everyone does. Nope. As much as I’m able, I actually don’t use it. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I think that the only effective way to combat AI is to not use it and leave it at that. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Conceptually, the rain stick is the perfect toy. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I am not a 5000 word a day kind of girl. I’m lucky if I’m a 500 word a day girl. Woman. Whatever. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 11/08/2026[In the style of the ATLA intro] And I believe…readers can save the world. 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 11/08/20267 months later and I finished the chapter 🫠 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I was more consistent this past week than I was the week before that—can I build on this momentum? 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 08/08/2026So excited for issue 2 of Quest! They’ve got a short story in there from one of my favorite authors, Ella N’Diaye 💃💃💃🤩 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Writing this story one sentence at a time 😵💫 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I’ve convinced myself that a sleep mask will make me a more productive writer 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 27/07/2026My bio describes, in oversimplified terms, the progression towards being a professional author. Teensy wheensy milestones when I update which step I’m on 🥹🐛 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 27/07/2026At this point looking at all my artistic imperfections as a middle finger to ai. 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 26/07/2026o.a.t., “of all time” = a new acronym I just invented and will now proceed to use without explanation for the foreseeable future. Also celebrates my heritage as a gruel lover. 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Submission management is hard. Secretarial work is hard. Gonna make a zine about famous writers’ secretaries. The mvp oat 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Right now my weakest point is submission management. 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Took a long hiatus from bsky but not from writing! Turns out documenting my journey towards writing better really is doing something, even when I lapse on the “documenting” part 🤓 000

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Worked all night last night and slept all day. Now to undo the damage 🫠 I hate missing days 010
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Wrote a script instead of any of #ExMet. At least I wrote 100 words of it um…2 days ago. 010

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 05/01/20262026 is about making goals for each season. 130
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Choose patience when impatience is an option, make art for the sake of creation. Check on the state of your mucouses, or something. 020
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 04/01/2026The power of one is bleak and the King’s wars brutal, so make sure to balance humors thy humors. 110
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 02/01/2026My goal is to have two fiction writing sessions a week. I still have a commitment to daily writing, but I do a lot of copywriting & I now recognize that I have to count this among my writing efforts or I’m ignoring some of my writing practice in a way that only serves to make me feel bad. 000
Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Captions always pose a specific writing challenge. 010
