I read The Handmaid's Tale and then immediately got my tubes tied, even though it was looking like Kamala was going to win. I wanted all my bases covered. #booksky

Started watching #thehandmaidstale and it is so good and intricate and relevant to today's politics. Margaret Atwood why did you have to make something so real.

My best friend is my editor, but some times she'll make a comment about my writing and become my worst enemy. #writingsky

When will people understand that jobs like accountant and lawyers are something capitalist came up with and humanity's natural urge is to make art? Maybe let's have AI replace those jobs.

It's a beautiful Sunday in California and the perfect time to read Silent Soldiers on Ream. Such a gorgeous day needs to be ruined with dark dystopian fiction that makes you think about the state of the world. #booksky

Sometimes I think about #zootopia specifically the day to day about an animal society. Do you think they use stripe patterns on tigers and zebras to identify them for criminal activities? What other finger printing like methods do they use?

Today feels like a day to either go to a rager or rage about books. And I haven't been invited to a rager. #booksky

Tomorrow, I'm releasing a chapter from Silent Soldiers completely for free. If you want a sci fi dystopian about a dark academy brainwashing children into super soldiers. You should check out my book here: buff.ly/5yJZypV #booksky

I'm thinking since it's #gemini season, I should go and either join a cult or, better idea, start a cult. Who wants to worship the almighty Bull of El Torito?

People are talking about the booktok fyre festival with A Million Lives, but when has a ball based on SJM and ACOTAR ever gone well. I feel like we get stories like this every year. Name a bookish ball that worked well in the comments. #booksky

A word that I love to use in my writing is "flesh" it's such a visceral word, rather than skin. It makes me think of the human form as meat, or a product for sale. So much story in a single word. #writingsky

Why are there so many "strong female characters" that are only strong because they have good relationships with their fathers or brothers. I have both of those, but none of them thought it pertinent to teach me how to fix cars or woodworking. Does that not make me a strong female character? #booksky

I sh*t on the second perspective all the time, but there is a place for it. In the garbage. Also maybe choose your own adventure books. I'll give you that. #booksky

Anyone who says that #indieauthors aren't real authors are forgetting the fact that traditional publishing is a relatively new thing in the context of the written word as a medium. Do you think Homer was published by a big five publisher?

Does anyone know some #indieauthors that I can follow on here? I want to follow as many as possible.

I'm not pro censoring, but this whole Tori Woods drama really shows that, even though we don't want to police art, there are things that are seriously harmful when put out on the internet. We listen and we judge. #booksky

Kendall C. Stark @kendallcstark.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
I'm actually really glad that Tori Woods got canceled because, in a community that really doesn't hold a lot of accountability, it's nice to see that there are some lines that even the dark romance girlies won't cross. #booksky

Bro, a really popular author not only saw a video I posted, but was entertained by my psychotic ramblings and commented her enjoyment. I've never felt more validation from social media. #booksky

My hair looks like Cruella, but I will always be an Ursula fan. I always love villains that use the fine print as their weapons. The lawyer villain. #disney

I love @fable but I do wish they had a book cover scanner like @goodreads along with different editions, so I can be clear which version of a text I'm reading. #booksky

I want to continue to live in a world where art isn't controlled by the government. Stop banning books because they don't fit your religious views. Stop infringing on free speech. #booksky

I'm thinking about making a video on House of Crimson Hearts on my YouTube, but I'm not sure me talking about vampire smut will look good to their guidelines. #booksky

I feel like most people will write a book, edit it for a while and then publish the book in full, but I'm not like other people. I published half the book without finishing the other half, and now I'm just juggling outlining, writing, and editing, all while trying to not let any of those balls fall.

Sunday is usually a day off for most, but I use Sunday as my wild, creative day. It's when I mostly work on the project that has my brain buzzing. It's a way to foster creativity and keep the fires of passion burning. #writingsky

I'd like to be a person that's good at a lot of things, but I'm really only good at one thing. It's a thing that I've spent my life learning, researching and obsessing over. Even when I'm not doing it, I'm thinking about it. That thing is writing, and it's my one love over anything else. #writingsky

I really hope that, when I die, reincarnation is a thing, because I'd like my next life to be as the AI that writes novels. I hate doing the basic human things like eating and sleeping. All I want to do is write, not get bogged down by all this human stuff. #writingsky

Authors, what's a name that you love so much, it's almost your default? Every time you think of a cool character, you want to give them that name. Maybe even a placeholder name that you like to use. #writingsky

I've reached a good flow state with my beta reader where, as soon as she finishes her notes, I always have another chapter prepared. It's like we're working in a factory. Whenever she finishes her piece, I already have another to give her. A finely tuned machine. #writingsky

In Silent Soldiers, there are, of course, themes of hope within the hopelessness, especially in the character of Willow. I just finished a chapter about that, and I think it's my new favorite. I've never liked writing more than when I'm writing this project. It hits very close to home. #booksky

The first time I read this book I downloaded it from @audible and put it on as I took a stroll through the mall. I walked into @claires when a massively detailed spice scene started to play through my earbuds. I couldn't keep a straight face until the climax where I just burst out laughing. #booksky

Currently reading Ribbonwood for lesbian book club, and it's not terrible. I'm still waiting for them to pick a sci fi book. #booksky

Was wondering if there are any other #writers that use Ream Stories for publishing. Would love to swap notes.

Chapter 15 of #silentsoldiers is out now on Ream Stories. Silent Soldiers is about a dark academy that kidnaps and brainwashes children into ruthless killing machines in an elite super soldier program. Read it here:

Was it a mistake to publish the first chapters of a novel I didn't finish outlining, let alone writing? Maybe. But I know that I would have never published Silent Soldiers if I didn't just do it. Take the plunge. #writing

Kendall C. Stark @kendallcstark.bsky.social · 21/01/2025
At that stage of the writing process where I think I need to go back, but the part I need to go back and fix is already published. I just gotta keep juggling these balls and hope they don't all drop at the same time. #writing

I'm currently stuck in beta reading purgatory with my ream serial, Silent Soldiers. I dropped off five chapters to my beta reader. The last time they came back covered in red pen. Now I don't know how to make the changes needed to make my novel better. Kill your darlings, right? #writing

I'm at that phase of #truecrime obsession where I think I can actually solve a crime. Like I'm in an @alexadonne thriller novel.

Kendall C. Stark @kendallcstark.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
I have a casual fascination with serial killers and true crime, so I channel all of that obsession into dark sci fi novels. Silent Soldiers actually came from one of those true crime @netflix documentaries. If you're also into that sort of thing, you can read it here:

Chapter 14 of #silentsoldiers came out today and it answers a lot of questions, but also raises even more. Silent Soldiers is an addictive unhinged dark dystopian sci fi about a dark academy that kidnaps kids for an elite super soldier program.

Kendall C. Stark @kendallcstark.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
Silent Soldiers is my Ream serial, and the plan is to collect all the chapters and publish them into a book with sprayed edges and a ton of character art. It's a big endeavor, so if anyone is interested in a dark academy that kidnaps kids for an super soldier program, engage with this post. #booksky
