#AwesomeCharacters Noah participated in Speech Team, and while it is an extracurricular, it is not a sport. He is decidedly unathletic. He might do okay with archery, something zero contact and not overstimulating. Ben played softball in high school and was very good at it.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

The discussions about gAI and more invasive technologies (think cameras everywhere) cannot be separated from discussing & understanding consent. They do not need or want your consent. Sit with that.

Today's a great day to support some creators. Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

Why is it 90 in October? Ah, maybe it has something to do with all the Boomers making hundreds of AI pictures of them in 80s attire as if they weren’t there and destroying our one wild and precious planet. This is really the most ridiculous timeline.

WOUND UP MM Romance Noah Wakefield likes everything just so—his spreadsheets, his yarn shop, his routines. When a competing shop opens and upends his life, complete with a frustrating, flirty rival owner, Noah must collaborate with him or risk losing the yarn shop he loves. #DVpit #A #CR #ND #LGBT

The number of times yarn dyers have faked their deaths because they got in over their head is WILD. It’s happened at least three times that I know of. There’s always some tea on CraftSnark!

When high strung asexual yarn shop owner Noah Wakefield gets a zoning violation, he must team up with his frustrating, flirty trans rival to pull off the yarn crawl and prove the fiber arts community is an asset to the town. Ownvoices ace, autistic and genderqueer rep. #DVPit #A #CR

For someone who wants to get a good grade on everything, especially things you cannot and should not expect to get an A+ in, I sure am getting a lot of failing grades in life right now.

As a librarian that makes my heart so happy. I don’t know much about QLL, other than their basic premise and that they exist. I wonder if I can donate a digital copy so the holds list goes down faster?

Lucy Mason @lucymason217.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Also, I have published 2 books—one in 2022, one in 2023. Nothing since. And people are still reading them 3-4 years later? That’s so cool and I’m so honored.

I know I post about how hard it is being an indie sometimes, and I still do think the transparency posts are important. Like, yes, people DO need to know my highest grossing month this year has been less than $14. BUT. I am so grateful for every penny that someone invests in my silly little books.

Not to be dark but 20 year old me never expected to live long enough to see 25, much less 35. 20 year old me would be shocked that I’m still here, and pleased that I have built an online community. They would say “of course you’re still working in the library. WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU BE?”

YESSSS. Noah, my MC, turns 45 during the course of Wound Up, but he is Extremely Offline so would not get the reference. Ben, his love interest, absolutely WOULD get it and quote it back at you 😂 But like. Noah starts again in his forties. It’s NEVER too late to start again or make a change.

The book I’m querying, and have an offer on from one small press and a full request from another, features characters in their middle forties, which is midlife certainly but I still don’t consider them “older”!
