Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Not me doing my usual Sunday things even when I didn’t really want to because of ✨life stuff✨ and then having a good time and really appreciating doing said things. It’s almost as if hanging out with friends is a good idea? 🤔 020

Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 08/05/2026What is the best music to write a sapphic high fantasy book to and why is it the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack? #authorsky #booksky 060
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 01/05/2026I did ALL THREE of my jobs today. > Dayjob of senior marketing associate > Nightjob of magazine proofreading > Everyothertimejob of being an author Now, I am tired and it’s time to go to bed! 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Early morning? Hell yes, time to work on Book Five! #authorlife 080
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Jumped into my WIP for a few minutes today to clarify a small scene! And it was really just a few minutes because sometimes that’s all I have energy or time or mental capacity to do after a long productive day at work but it still feels good to open that Word doc and get some words in. 📚 #amwriting 120
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 13/04/2026What do you mean someone should write a sapphic scifi about a morally gray spaceship captain being ruthlessly hunted by her enemies and yet falls in love with her crew (esp. her cinnamon roll first mate) so she decides to protect this crew from the dangers but her time as herself is running out? 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Wrote 2.7K words today!! I’m speeding my way to the end of Book Five and I can’t believe it! 😱📚 #amwriting 050

Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Carve out some intentional writing time TOMORROW at 2PM Alaska time. 📚 Virtual? Yup! Open to anyone? Yeah! Hell fun? Hella yes! 001
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 20/03/2026The first meeting between a wandering scribe and a snarky painter is a furious hand to the scribe’s throat while they’re locked in the same prison. And yes, they do end up together. And yes, it’s hella queer. 012
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Not to be dramatic but I completely missed FATAL SPORES book birthday over the weekend because of continuing stressful ✨cat stuff✨ and now I feel like I’m a bad author. 🤦♀️ Anyway, my book’s been out for over a year now! #booksky 100

Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Girls be like “I needed this” and it’s just a lazy Saturday morning eating baked oats with their cat snoozing on their laps 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 24/02/2026OMG! Because of a lot of not fun ~life stuff~ happening this month, I completely forgot to promote this. My sapphic scifi and fantasy books are 50% off this month!! 🧡🏳️🌈📚 penlightpress.com/shop #booksky 093
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I love when right after I send a chapter out, I start to think where I’d change it and that’s usually where my critique group highlights! The confirmation from them makes me feel like my own revisions would be on track. (Though they see other stuff I completely miss too.) Is anyone else like this? 000
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Did I hear you say you wanted a queer fantasy that has ancient forbidden magic, a twist on the good old mentor, a snarky prisoner-painter with a soft heart, and a curious scribe who might just doom them all? Slides over INK STAINS & ILL-FATED LIES #booksky #sapphicbooks 093
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I’ve passed 50K words in my sapphic high fantasy WIP. 🎉 Not done yet but felt good! #booksky #amwriting 030

Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Not me wanting to create a new character just so they can have an alpaca for an animal companion 🥰 … #amwriting #booksky #authorlife 060
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 26/01/2026A do-nothing day on vacation means I can get a whole chapter written in one sitting! Hell yeah. 🧡📚🏳️🌈 #booksky #amwriting 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Writing through the horrors, by writing horrible things happening to my characters because I know they’ll have an okay ending that I can control. My girls will be traumatized, but still moving forward and stronger for it. #booksky #amwriting 080
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Revised a fight scene today and it’s so much better now. It’s the next chapter my critique group gets to read, and I’m psyched to get their reactions!! 🔥🪶 #booksky #writingcommunity 0110
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Spent the morning prepping for ✨an exciting future thing✨!! 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Writing Book Five. Just thought of a devistatingly cool punishment for one of my main characters. You think death is bad? Wild Nature is UNFORGIVING! 🍄🟫🌳😈 #amwriting 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 04/01/2026I’m writing an intense chapter in Book Five in Misti’s POV and I had to dive deep back into Book One to recall this particular pain point. Honestly, it’s both fun and terrifying to be writing the final book in my sapphic high fantasy series. #booksky 030
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 04/01/2026It’s -20 here. I think this might be the cold snap….but a month early. 🤔❄️ 020
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 03/01/2026-14 degrees AGAIN today. It’s been too cold for too long. #alaskalife 010
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Happy New Year, my fellow adventurers! I hope this year brings that phone call you were waiting for, that contract to sign, that chance to write “the end”, and that lovely community to be a part of. 🧡📚 #authorlife #amwriting 140
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Spent the day writing. Got 3K words down. Pretty happy with it! 020
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Worked on my WIP for 30 minutes. Started a scene. Unsure if I like where it began because there’s a time skip. Might cut it later but at least I got some words down. 😂🤔 #authorlife #writingcommunity 000
Kellie Doherty @kelliedoherty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Worked on my sapphic high fantasy WIP today and had to research “what does it feel like to be stabbed” and “would a stomach wound kill you”? This chapter got REAL intense, real quick. 😁 #authorlife 030
