Cover reveal days are such fun, huge days for authors. But you know who they can also be huge for? The illustrators. Don’t forget to credit them. Cover reveals always blow up outside of an author’s bubble, and someone who sees it could be that artist’s next gig. ❤️

this happens a lot when you fear you can’t live up to your own tastes but nothing ever will on the first draft let it suck! it’s fine “writing is rewriting” is the truest aphorism revisions are where you make it sing all the first draft has to do is exist trust the process!

The Project Manager in me loves to do that, but the chaotic side always wants to do the more exciting things first haha

Serious question for creatives juggling multiple WIPs: how do you prioritize when your creativity refuses to stand in a single line? I’ve got: *Char-sketch for debut PB *YA Novel MS *Author-illustrated PB dummy My brain says “DO EM ALL” My calendar says “lol" #Booksky #Kidlit #WritingCommunity

Emotions aren't exclusive. And they aren't right or wrong either. Give yourself permission to feel everything you feel. 🥰 #WritingCommunity #selfcare #emotions #beinghuman

It’s either I read 3 books a month or go 3 months without picking up a #book. There’s no in between.

I have endo cramps in my back and its been great for it for me, it distracts from the actual pain

nala khan ✩ @nalakhan.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Yes! Heating pads are lifesavers. Have you tried a tens unit? It helped quite a bit during the really bad days

nala khan ✩ @nalakhan.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I load up on ibuprofen + take magnesium pills + drink raspberry leaf tea + put castor oil on the area AND use a heating pad (to the point of toasted skin syndrome) only for the pain to go down from an 8 to a 6. Endo is the WORST. Sending you virtual hugs 🫶🏼

My little corner of Bluesky is filled with the most lovely, interesting, funny, smart people, and I just wanted to say thank you for being here. Delightful, all of you.

Yes! Feels like I’ve had 3 different cats in one, not complaining though.

Please enjoy this progression of my #cat, Meeko, slowly turning into a void. At this rate, I’ll be petting a black hole soon.
