Just got word that my forthcoming work with @penumbricmag.bsky.social will be coming out in October! All of my archaeologist-leaning friends, you're in for a treat :) So happy to get this piece of mine out (as of now, it's my absolute favorite I've written). More details coming soon...

Um, winning awards, being on the bestseller list are not goals. Goals are under your control, include steps and actions to get there, and some kind of timeline.

Ohhhh my goddddd I came back from a walk in the sunshine- sat down and wrote 500 words of the most beautiful concept/first draft dialogue I've produced in MONTHS. I think that hope and fresh air do good things for the soul. I'm actually so excited to write fiction again! #writingcommunity

The academic university calendar has once again ripped my free time from me. All I want to do is write! All I do is write :( not fun writing. But all writing is practice and makes me a better writer. It's so painful. I l o v e i t. :/ #writingcommunity

I must stop buying books! (I will never stop) I will use my library card!! (already do, I can’t be stoppedddd) Some ancestor of mine made it a life’s goal to own as many tomes as possible and those genes have finally surfaced in me. I’m so successful by their metric. #writingcommunity

Calling back to a previous post about counting my technical writing as important like my fiction- I just won a writing award for my technical/research work! All writing makes me a better writer! Sometimes the world is weird and gives you many nice things all at once :) #writingcommunity

I have to stop buying them. I'm running out of money for books. I've put the rest of the series on hold at my library. I am forcing myself to read other works between them.

L. Fox- Writer @l-foxauthor.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I struggle to remember that my writing is not only fiction. I work in a field that requires technical/STEM writing. I've produced some huge work in the last few months that is not fiction. Writing is writing and the skills I'm learning doing both transfer! #writingcommunity

Buzz Aldrin zonked a dude in the face for a loud and proud moonlanding denial. Y'all be careful bandying about those AI accusations with writers. You might catch a real one. The nerves are frayed and we are not okay.
