Fucking Hell. I am not okay. I grew up in the 1980s, and in the last few days, we've lost some truly iconic people. Dolly Parton Tim Curry And now Peter Cullen. Damn, this just hurts. 😫

Over the last week or so, I've been working on Chapter 8. Mostly done, still a little bit left, but I've got 4334 words done (this includes the word counts I've posted recently). #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

More writing! Just 413 words today, but considering I had to find a lot of sailing terminology and figure out how the ships work in my fantasy world of Ealaith, I think I did pretty well. #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

More writing the last three days. Yesterday's scene was very stubborn, and I had to scrap most of it and try again before it was any good. It will still need a lot of work though. #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

And today, even more writing! And, coincidentally, it's another 1354 words for Chapter 1 of Book 1! Same number as yesterday! #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

Dua iatei ta lanth sa tuirin. (Dwah yatay ta lanth sa tu-eerin.) "The night is coldest before dawn." Conlangs are fun! Has anyone else had a go at creating a language for their stories? #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch #conlang

I need some help. I remember a quote I read decades ago, late 80s, maybe 90s. "She gave me her inkwell, I gave her my pen, and together we wrote quite a lot." Anyone know where it's from? #mystery #quote #unknown

More writing and revision as I read through my outlines/first drafts. And I just turned 272 words in the outline into 620 words of first draft! #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

Given that it's the 15th here in Australia, and the word is "blanket"...

More writing. A productive day, just over 3,400 words which will prob increase as I polish it. But I had to kill someone to do it. (Legal disclaimer, I killed a character, not a real person.) #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

I've been quiet, haven't I? Fear not, I am still writing, just finished off a scene now, actually, Book 5 chapter 9. "The Pale Man in the Moonlight."

Paul Sophocleous @paulsophocleous.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Done a little bit of writing over the last few days, just dribs and drabs really. But I've just done another 1,448 words for Book 3! Writing dreams is fun! #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

Yes, it's hard to write a story when you have an outline. It's an effort to pick the right words. But geting that outline in the first place is harder! Currently trying to write Book 7! #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

More writing today, and a rather productive writing day it was! I combined two chapters to keep things moving faster to the call to adventure and I wrote 1671 words for that chapter! #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

I decided to expand that scene into the next scene and got another 538 words. In total, that scene is now 2,559 words, with epic visuals and important character moments. #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

First drafts aren't meant to be good, they're meant to simply exist. Don't listen to that voice that says you should scrap it. Your book deserves a place in the world. #writingcommunity #writerslife #writers #fantasyauthor #writersofBlueSky

412 words today. Combined with the other snippets of writing I've been doing here and there lately, it's probably up around a thousand or so, couldn't say for sure. #writers #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor #Ealaith #TheWitch

Go to Netflix, find a movie called The Sea Beast and watch it. Twice. The first time, watch it to enjoy it, because it's seriously good. The second time, watch it and look at it with writer's eyes, because it's extremely well-written. It will teach you a lot. #TheArtOfStory #Writing #TheSeaBeast
