I love stumbling across little things like this at work. #halloween #ween #pumpkin #october

Did some quick maffs: Expecting Draft 1 to be about 86k words. Seems comfortable. I did this because I'm approaching the final stretch. This may be the angriest moment in the story, and I cannot WAIT to put it on paper. #writing #booksky #scifi #novel #thecyclestops

I used to be worried that I was going to write something that would be too violent or off-putting. Given the last decade and especially very recent events, I hope it is cathartic to read something so angry when it's ready for release.

Whoops. Misspelled "sorrow" as "sowwow" and now I can't get The Princess Bride out of my head. #writing #writingmemes #author

In writing this angry novel, I'm happy to announce that I've included a character flipping the bird to another as a break in the tension. #booksky #writing #storytelling #scifi #thecyclestops

I love when shuffling music grants a once in a blue moon legendary run of songs while I'm writing. I started with Lockdown by Steve Jablonsky, and it has made its way through similar vibes to Wardruna. Shame that I have to get up and wander now. #writing #music #booksky #author #thecyclestops

Does an emotionally heavy, character driven story about surviving, trauma, and grief in a sci-fi setting that creates more questions than answers sound like a good idea to you? If so, you might be interested in what I'm writing. #booksky #novel #scifi #storytelling #thecyclestops

Also as a reminder, still thinking about that next reveal a t 150 followers. Currently at 140. Them's rookie numbers. Help me bump them up.

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

There we go. 56k words. Current estimate of a little over 300-ish pages if in A5 format. Plenty more to go. I'm sure things will get cut or moved around after I finish the first draft, but it's looking good. Keep it tuned here. #novel #writing #booksky #scifi #thecyclestops

Have y'all seen the Pete Ricketts attack ad in Nebraska? "I'm Pete Ricketts. If you legalize marijuana, you're gonna kill your kids." [Pete then uses hyperbeam on a child.] [This is not hyperbole.] [This is a real frame.] [Holy shit.] #politicalads #politics #vote #fdt #pokemon

Can't quite shake the cobwebs loose yet, so I'm stretching the writing muscles with something else. Don't worry, back on track soon. #writing #novel #storytelling #scifi #thecyclestops

After taking a break from writing, I like to re-read the most recent part so my brain gets back in the mood and I'm happy to report that that shit still hurt. #booksky #novel #writing #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

Okay, beginning of the school year and moving at the same time has been kinda crazy. Back to it. #booksky #writing

I wonder if @techconnectify.bsky.social is aware of the fabulous memes that have started appearing in the Simpsons Bortposting FB group.

I was served a Grainger Industrial Supply advertisement for a helmet and the face of the model carries SO MUCH regret. I needed to do something with it. #meme #halo #halocombatevolved #regret #ohno

Replied to a comment about the Air Force Major that called out the unconstitutional acts of this administration, and it seems like every time I do, the same person gets even more angry and finds even more words just to say the military should "shut up and dribble."

And for anyone intending to read my book: I want it to hurt. I want you to put it down and need a while to recover. #writing #storytelling #novel #booksky #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

I'm not done with the main body of the story yet, but I had to write the epilogue while it was in my head. Usually, I hate tooting my own horn, but I'm feeling a little like 343 Guilty Spark. "Ah, I am a genius." #novel #writing #booksky #storytelling #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Oh yeah. This is gonna *rough* for me to get through so I'm taking a quick second to post about it as a distraction. I hope that what I'm doing translates to anyone who reads it in the future. #writing #novel #booksky #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

Whoopsie daisy, I hit 50k and I'm about to write what is probably the most emotional chapter of the book. #sciencefiction #storytelling #writing #novel #booksky #thecycelstops

Sometimes I catch misspellings in the moment which prevents my characters from *peeing* over their fists through their visor instead of *peering.* #writing #booksky #spellcheck

48k words! Finally moving along at a decent clip again. 131/150 followers until the next character reveal, so 19 more to go. #writing #storytelling #novel #sciencefiction #booksky #thecyclestops

I want HUMAN made stories and art, not jittery video cut together from 15 second generated clips with dead stares and monotone voices. I'm a nobody, but I'll laugh and block you so fucking fast if you call yourself an editor while you tap into some water guzzling complex to make something soulless.

Hey, in case I wasn't clear enough: I don't want anything to do with gen AI. I purposefully avoid programs with AI and disable it where I can't. If you're interacting with me and I visit your profile where I find you've made AI content, I'm blocking you. #noai #antiai #fuckai

Maybe at 150 followers I'll do another character reveal. Fate flies on many wings. Bend its path. #novel #booksky #writing #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

And if you're looking for an angry book about surviving, trying to do the right thing and learning when to step back, with heavy themes and catharsis set in a science fiction narrative, keep it tuned here. And drop a follow if you've got one to spare. #writing #novel #booksky #thecyclestops

If you're coming across my page: I'm writing a book and I also do my own sketching for my characters. I've finally found the face of the woman who starts to nudge fate in the correct direction. Anybody wanna see her? #booksky #characterart #novel #writing #thecyclestops

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

It finally clicked. Something that I hadn't intended to be much of anything suddenly has a tragic and beautiful moment that ties in thematically with everything else. "Butterflies." #writing #novel #booksky #sciencefiction #thecyclestops

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Also also, I can absolutely see this story being on the silver screen one day. A man can dream, right?

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

That being said, I decided earlier this year that the first draft of this book would be done by the end of 2026. I gotta make that happen. To all hundred or so of you that follow me, I hope you have an appetite for cathartic justice set in a science fiction world. #booksky #writing #sciencefiction
