D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 16hGood morning from rural Kansas! I've been up for an hour already, working on my series synopsis for MARROW. You know...just in case! 000
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I have spent an embarrassing amount of time hoping somebody would take this book seriously. Today, somebody did. One of the biggest literary agencies in NYC requested a full manuscript from me today. I'm going to try very hard not to make a medical emergency out of it. #booksky #writingcommunity 160
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Only $0.99 for book one! Gonna get to work soon with my artist for book 3! The Lost Voice --> amzn.to/4zqC1yd #BookBoost #BookLover #bookshelf #booksky 140
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I see authors querying 12 agents a day. I've queried 8 in the last few months. I research & customize a query for each agent. I want to build a real relationship with mine when I get accepted & I don't want to jump into a business partnership blind from the get-go, you know? Am I overthinking this? 101
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So since I put this video up, I've learned that this isn't showing author copies. So where do I see my author copies for that year? #writersky #writingcommunity 060

D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'm a whole mood today. "-the fact that I got a book into schools was a miracle.

D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 21/09/2026To say I feel blessed is an understatement. And yes, my husband and I both have our "offices" in the living room. We both work from home. And we both write. #writerslife #writingcommunity #booktok 110
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Writer’s block and burnout aren’t some mystical curse that gets lifted when the muse decides to show back up. Most of the time, it’s your brain and body telling you something’s out of balance, and it’s on you to figure out what that something is and actually deal with it. #writingcommunity 110

D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026You cannot convince me this is normal. I have been publishing for over a decade, and never once have I had to PAY a beta reader. Beta readers are largely known to be volunteers. Now people are charging to read a book before publishing?? These were from ONE comment about my beta reader. 120
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I am so, SO happy with my beta reader. I cannot wait to send her a physical copy of this book. She has been AMAZING! I can't stop rereading our messages! 🥹 #writingcommunity #writerslife 040
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You think I just talk about writing a lot because this is my author page. But you're wrong. I talk about writing a lot because I can't escape the world I've created. It's worse in person. #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting 020

D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Would "Unreliable omniscient" be where the narrator knows literally everything that happens, but refuses to tell the reader because 'it’s not their business?'" Cuz...I can roll with something like that. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife 111
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Back home after our annual DnD weekend, which is a writing weekend for me. I didn't get what I *planned* done, but I did get something *necessary* done. Progress is progress, so I'm happy enough. Now for some unpacking and reorganizing! #writingcommunity #writerslife 020
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Spent half the day in the kitchen today so...I have nothing left in me for brainwork. I think I need to game. If I can focus on that long enough! 000
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The group is playing DnD. I'm in the back, writing, with my earbuds in. I have no idea what happened, but all 8 of them busted out laughing like Arnold Schwarzenegger. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons 010

D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Plotter or panster? I *am* a panster, but I have learned to at least have 60% of the idea before I start writing. Not the plot...that would just be silly. The IDEA. #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram 011
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Having a beta reader who sends voice clips of her cussing out the characters as she tries to figure out who's up to what is pretty much the best thing ever. 🤣🥰 #writingcommunity #writerslife 140
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I've decided. I’m writing my next book in fifth person, so every sentence starts out with: “I heard from this guy who told somebody …” #writingcommunity #writerslife 020
D.C. Robertson @inkandbog.bsky.social · 02/09/2026PHEW. I am hyper-editing this manuscript so I can sort of regather my senses in preparation for writing the next book in the series...and boy is this bad. 🤣 I know I knew what I was talking about when I wrote it, but that sense is looong gone. #writincommunity 110
