Life's been crazy for me lately; I apologize for stepping away for the past while, but I'm now also about to travel across the country to be with family during some difficult times. If y'all could keep me in your good thoughts, it'd be much appreciated! Oh! And one additional note below: ⬇️

Hi! I'm back and plan to catch up on my feeds and some of my mutuals' posts soon. I hope you're all doing well. 😊 Also, I'm going to have to update my profile pic soon! 😅 I chopped off and donated my hair a couple of weeks ago in memory of my late friend. It was up to 16" long in some places! 🤯

Five ponytails of my hair sitting on top of some paper towel.

Had a quick scroll to catch up on some of my mutuals' posts, but I already need to go back to resting for a bit. Sorry! I'll see what else I've missed soon, and I promise I won't be gone for another whole month this time! 😂 Stay safe, and happy writing! 🧚🏻‍♂️✨️

Can the wrong people please stop dying? On top of dealing with grief within my personal life, I've just learned of Dolly Parton's and Tim Curry's passings. Absolutely devastating news. 😭 I've still been processing the loss of Shelley Duvall, Shannen Doherty, Catherine O'Hara, Anthony Head…like…!?

Hey, everyone! I've been away from social media for close to a month; I've just had a lot on my plate. To those waiting for September's The Sky Sanctum writing group information, I'm working on it now. It'll soon be posted and pinned to my profile. Thanks for your understanding! Happy writing! :)

Taylor R.W. Brown @taylorrwbrown.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

There has been much grief in my life lately, so I'm thoroughly grateful for good company and lake hangs. It's also been about a month since I've left the house due to my chronic pain levels, so I shan't complain about getting some much-needed exercise in, however little. 🧚🏻‍♂️✨️

Not a cloud in the blue sky. Mountains in the background surround a wavy lake. A tree hangs over the water's shore, and the pebbly beach has some driftwood washed ashore.

A dirt trail weaves through a forest. In the foreground, a large stump sits on the left and there are some ferns on the right. Sunlight beams down on the forest floor in patches through the canopy.

I've been researching my ancestry nonstop for the past month. Admittedly, my screenwriting has been neglected during this period. 😅 It's been such a fascinating journey that I'm now outlining my first non-fiction book about my findings—a "how-to" guide to discovering your own family history!

I'm ready to engage with my mutuals' posts from the past month or so. I always want to cheer everyone on, and feel like I've missed a lot! I've been preoccupied with a deep dive into my ancestry, but am now setting up the next Zoom links for our writing group, The Sky Sanctum. Details coming soon!

I've finally hit the "end" (Bluesky's limit) of my Mutuals feed (a mere 2 days' worth). Soon, I'll do my best to engage via the profiles of many of you lovely folks. For now, that's enough social media for today. 😂 Stay safe, choose joy, and happy writing to all the other writers on Bluesky! 🫶🏼✨️

Oops, I haven't been active on here in a while! Pain/busy schedule/etc. At this point, I'll have to catch up via my mutuals' profiles at some point very soon. In the meantime, I'm stoked for our writing group this afternoon, and I'm about to shock my mom with my recent ancestry findings. Fun! ✨️

Hi! I've been in a rough flare-up for about a week now, so I apologize for being absent for the last little bit. I plan to once again catch up on my feeds very soon! ✨️ On a brighter note, I enjoyed a short outing with a friend the other day to Victoria's "Big Gay Dog Walk", and it was lovely. 😊🐕🌈

Taylor R.W. Brown @taylorrwbrown.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Is anyone else's Mutuals feed also ending at posts from less than 7 hours ago? Bizarre. 🤔 I'll check again later, and, worst-case, I'll do my best to catch up on posts from the folks I interact with regularly. Hope you're all doing well and that your creativity has been flowing! 🫶🏼✨️

Dear Writer, It takes courage to share a piece of your soul with the world, and that’s what your stories are: pieces of you. That’s why it can hurt to feel rejected. But those rejections just mean that you haven’t found where your story belongs yet. It’s out there. Keep going. Love, Kayleigh

I finished the first draft of a new spec pilot yesterday. It’s sloppy. A mediocre execution of what I think is a pretty good idea. That’s okay. Now that I have a first draft, I can start to improve it. To punch and polish it. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on REWRITING. 🧵1

Happy Caturday 𝘢𝘯𝘥 a very happy 9th birthday to my son Osiris! Naturally, he's getting some extra love and treats today. 🐈‍⬛🎉❤️ Photo is from ~8 years ago (shortly after I adopted him). He decided he wasn't a collar-wearing kind of guy immediately after taking this photo. 😅

A photo of my black cat Osiris when I first adopted him; he was between six months and one year old here. His head is turned as he looks off to his right, and he's wearing a black and white plaid collar with a bowtie and a silver bell attatched to it.

I am laying on my side behind him, smiling and looking toward the camera. I still had short hair here—buzzed on the sides with a couple of inches of hair left on top and styled into a slight fauxhawk.

No spoilers, but this accurately depicts my reaction to the S2 finale of "𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘉𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘜𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦?" as I expressed my theories to my bf. 😂🧐 This series has been a wild ride, and I eagerly await the third and final series. 🫣 (Also, that 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 Kerry and Kurtan cameo was everything! 😂)

I spent the afternoon sitting across from my writer friend while they edited my script (THE TIME JERK) in real time.

TL;DR version: Meta still doesn't give a shit about LGBTQIA+ folks. This Pride Month, consider leaving your FB/Insta/Threads behind. My post below was posted 10 months ago; with it being Pride month, I decided to have a quick glance today. I wasn't surprised to see it's still there verbatim. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A screenshot pulled directly from Meta's official policies website that reads, "We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”"

Felt ✨️🌈extra gay🌈✨️ during a virtual group medical visit, so I tossed on a little eye makeup (while of course also being present and taking notes). 😅 Now, I plan to rest and recuperate, play some Palia (obsessed w/ my pink horse 🦄🎮), and veg out to some Pride-esque tunes for the rest of the day. 🧚🏻‍♂️

Two screenshots cropped together into one image.

On the left: my Palia in-game character wears a dark purple and black sleeveless top while riding their white and light pink horse which has a dark pink mane and tail.

On the right: a screenshot from the YouTube Music app of the song Hard Up by Sylvester playing.

Two selfies cropped together. They show my attempt at applying seven eyeshadows to form a rainbow pattern on the bottom of my eyelids and just above my eyelashes but with the red and violet creeping out of the corners of my eyes.

It's not my best work, even for just a quick attempt; but, it sure was fun! I probably should have added mascara, but, alas, I am all out of energy.

It wasn't my intention to step away from social media for a month, but it sure was needed! 💆🏻 During one of my walks, I spotted this cutie.🦉 I'm equal parts Mulder and Scully, and I grew up with religious grandparents and a Wiccan mother; needless to say, I took this as a sign of good things (1/3⬇️)
