It’s not snowing, but it’s COLD. I look cute though 🥰

This weekend, I taught myself to draw fantasy maps! Skalterra is a realm that runs parallel to ours. Full of magicians and monsters, Skalterra can be described as a “gaslamp Hyrule” type world.

My husband doesn’t like when the sun comes through this little window and blinds him. This is his solution.

Having now done both, I’m realizing there’s a considerable amount of overlap between cheerleading and martial arts.

I’ve never made 100 audible sales in a single month but this month I’m closer than EVER at 79. If you’ve been hankering for a fun, YA superhero escape full of heart and twists, I’ve got a trilogy with absolutely superb narrating waiting for you! www.audible.com/pd/Beta-Audi...

Can I brag about my cover artist for a moment? Maria is a personal friend, and being able to hire her for my books has been such a joy. Her cover for Beta was even a finalist in the SPFBO9 cover contest. What’s extra wild? These are her only book covers! She works in theme design!

What if I dropped a cover reveal video at midnight my time and then went to bed?? (Maria Mondloch is the talented artist behind ALL my covers, and that’s Elizabeth Phillips back to narrate another one of my books!)

I’m going viral on TikTok and Threads for my mother in law’s dog and viral on Instagram because my husband watches yu-gi-oh while I write. But I don’t post on Bluesky ever, so I’m hiding out here while I take a breather.

What media helps pass the time for you when travelling? I like an audiobook myself. Currently listening to Delta by @mtzimny.bsky.social, and HIGHLY recommend 😁 #booksky #travel #audiobook

One of my 2025 reading goals is to read 12 YA indie books in 12 months, which means I NEED RECS! They MUST be indie, and they MUST be YA. If they are accessible in Spotify or requestable in Libby, that’s a major bonus (I don’t have an audible subscription).

The best Senseis will enthusiastically throw you across their dojo when you ask them if they want to be in a book marketing TikTok

Does Bluesky like pictures? Here’s me being a ham with my books to mask the fact that I’m very nervous in this picture! It’s a bit unserious, but I think I like it! Anyway, this picture comes with a fun author-y backstory, but those details are secret right now.

It’s Human Voices Only Day so remember to hug your (human) narrators! Ai will never be able to send you a video of them cussing you out because your book made them sad. Anyway. Here’s Elizabeth Phillips doing exactly that to me. Strong language ahead 😅

Lots of new followers today! I’m not sure where you’re all coming from, but I’m seeing a lot of familiar faces, so I’m happy you made it!

My beige flag is that I can’t stop going to the Funko flagship store and making my characters into custom Funkos. Meet Andersen. He’s kinda a jerk.

“Oh, you’re an author? Anything I’ve read?” I assure you, the answer is no 😅

As an author, I’m thrilled my toddler is currently obsessed with books. As a tired mom, I’m devastated that her bedtime routine is now a half-hour longer and full of demands of “more read!!”

Okay, it’s been nearly a year, but I hear Bluesky is officially hopping, so HI HELLO! If you like books, golden retrievers, baking, mediocre karate skills, or lukewarm commentary on nerdy IP’s, let’s be pals.

M.T. Zimny @mtzimny.bsky.social · 21/11/2023

I’m trying to figure out how I want to use Bluesky and I’m thinking a thread of character art might be fun? Even if it’s just an excuse for me to love on my characters?

I drew my characters in Halloween costumes and I’m lowkey obsessed.

An old pic, but after seeing an ad for Is It Cake, I’m realizing I missed out on a genius video opportunity.

THIS IS TOMORROW!!! I can’t wait to sit on a panel with these amazing authors!

Today my husband took me to the library and then to get boba, so yes. Love is still very much alive.

The thing that gets me about the pro-AI art/writing stance is, it embodies the worst-faith interpretations of the tension between art and capitalism. It mistakes creativity and skill for "privilege," flattens the expression down to "product," and reduces creators to content mines.

There is something so frustrating about some indie authors admitting to only reading other indies in an attempt to get the author to read THEIR book. If you look at reading like a quid pro quo transaction, you aren’t going to enjoy reading, especially when they don’t reciprocate.

IT’S FALL!!! Everyone better watch out. This is when I’m at my strongest and most obnoxious.

I’ve made it in! Thanks @boekelley.bsky.social for the invite! Now where are my indie book friends?
