Fuck everything, burn it down. NONE OF PANGRAM'S CLAIMS HAVE BEEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED! The blind trust in Pangram's ability to meet its claims is staggering. Just because it's shiny and its owners say it works DOESN'T MEAN IT DOES WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO. #writingcommunity #writesky

I am genuinely terrified about this shift in the publishing industry

Pangram is ruining authors' lives, and our window to do something about it is closing.

I’ve been really into folk horror lately, and anything with cults and/or taking place in a forest. Recently enjoyed reading The Lamb and Itch! 🌲

Hi I’m Rylan! Outside of writing I like traveling and being in nature. I love horror because we can defeat the monsters, which isn’t always true in life. My favorite horror read of last year is Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng. Excited to be here! 🎃

@rytingwithcats.bsky.social and I were looking at this writing contest that promises "Book-to-Film Consideration with [an] Acclaimed Movie Producer." The producer is real, but there are some things writers need to know about Hollywood. A 🧵 #WritingCommunity

💯 this. One of the biggest lies in Hollywood is that it runs on talent.

“Even when Lydia closes her eyes, the stains still creep into her nostrils." TY for this honor! 🥰🤩 PWS began while I struggled with my own demons—art imitating life more than I realized at the time. I'm proud of this first page, and can't wait to share the rest! #PageOnePrize #writingcommunity

Bad Lit Friends @badlitfriends.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

There's a reason we have our amazing producer @rytingwithcats.bsky.social to save us from podcast infamy -- Meagan's outline currently contains a reference to Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in the context of query personalization. #badlitfriends is bad, but we're not (huge) sadists.

“Her breath was holding her hostage, and once the ransom was paid, it dumped her on the side of the road to be reunited with her loved ones.” Am I doing it right?

The English language took “kill your darlings” too literally in the earlier drafts. These are so pretty 😭 bring back 😭 #writingcommunity

l love the old markers of time. To go with 'fortnight' (fourteen nights),
English once had the lovely
'sennight' (seven nights) for a week, too. 'Yestreen' meant 'last evening,
'ere-yesterday' was the day before yesterday, and 'overmorrow' the day after tomorrow.

Oh wow yeah I bet! Now you can breathe easier 🥹 English is a living language, right? It grows and changes, and grammar rules have to keep up with the chaos. Thank goodness we don’t have to speak in MLA 😂
