It came across as a sales pitch because it was a sales pitch.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 10h

No, I don't 'have one'. You're offering a paid service I'm not interested in, even if I could afford it (which I can't.).

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 10h

Not yet, but that's something I'll deal with closer to the time. There are good sites out there for beta readers, and I've already signed up for one- they work on swaps. You get readers by also doing reading yourself.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 11h

No, not with so many of the big six now using AI, as the news piece shared by many in the last day has shown. Odds are it'll be self-published. But I need to bring my artwork up to speed, along with finish the edits, get a few trusted people to read it, and then do any fixes before that happens.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 11h

Yes, the extra work turns it back into the more extensive world/setting I'd originally wanted.

It's a book I originally wrote in 2018, it got me an agent at the time. I never found out where or if the agent submitted it anywhere and we eventually parted ways last year. I then re-wrote Her Pride, shifting POVs, expanded the story and world building.

5,562 words today, split between rewrites and first drafts. Slow day working on 'Her Pride' 3 pages edited and 62 words removed. Sharp pain in my right arm, so no artwork, and it's why the editing count was low. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky #amediting

Started having to wear a soft wrist support again yesterday, and switched to the harder one for overnight to fully immobilize my wrist. Back to the soft brace for the day so there's support but I can type. This is a semi-regular thing for me, but still annoying. #spoonie #amwriting

Wishing you many sales and an amazing day!

Voice to text can work quite well for getting the bones of a story down. The wrist issue is a common one for me, part of the disability I live with.

Argg drawing hands isn't easy, but I'm going to keep practicing because #fuckai This is from Chapter Four, Scene 1 of a current WIP. My Dragonshifter MMC in his human form. #amdrawing #dragonshifter #mmcart

Sketch of a male's hand reaching out away from the viewer, from mid forearm, palm up. The hand is a dragon shifters in humanoid form, so it has talon like claws instead of nails, and tiny scales on parts of his arm and hand.

Her Pride, as I've mentioned before.

6,007 words today on writing/re-writes. Editing report - 16 pages edited, and 344 words removed. No art today as my fingers have been cramping and I've been dealing with the shakes. That's easier to fix in digital artwork, not as easy with pencil. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky #amediting

Same as I need on any size project. The number of passes doesn't change with the number of words.

It's slow but moving along nicely. As it's a 220K manuscript, it's going to take a while.

I can't wait to unbox the new toy and get some practice in!

Well done, so very very proud of you. And I had news that I'm going to get the chance to try digital artwork again, thanks to my wonderful, amazing husband saving up pennies, quarters and the occasional dollar over the last 12 months!

So, I'm working on practicing my artwork again, so this sketch--rough as it is-- is another step toward saying F AI. Pencil and kneadable eraser on cheap watercolor paper. Taken from Chapter 3, scene 2 of a current draft WIP. #amdrawing #noai #fuckai

Feather ends of two arrow shafts, meant to be handmade arrows, so slightly imperfect. Pencil on cheap rough water color paper.

Publishing scam alert. The Belles Letters Review is a new 'lit magazine' charging a reading fee and when questioned about the fee resorts to belittling, insulting responses, treating those who ask as if they are children. Then went on my account (on Threads) to accuse my husband of being a scammer

I'll cut to the chase; I've seen this script before. If you're about to try to sell me services, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Again, as I've said, Her Pride is the one I'm editing. The writing is on other projects ranging between re-writes and first drafts.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It's in edits, not a draft, as I've made clear.

They use so many of the same 'proof' videos as well, commenting on how well their beta reader worked for them -- without the reader being actually named, OR the author in question tagged.

020

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I do follow your list, and keep one of my own as well! The scam part is why I mentioned it being scammy and using scripts/ai responses.

Terri Pray/T.S. Weaver @terripray.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Share the titles of the books you've worked on, let us, the possible clients, SEE your abilities. Drop the bought or AI scripts so many of you are using, and be authentic. We're not stupid; we can see when you're shining us on. We keep lists. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Beta readers and editors. If you're going to start a conversation with me that's leading up to you to try and sell me services, please don't waste my time or yours. It's not networking; it's scammy. Let your actual work sell your services. Post about your clients.

It's bad, but it's not AI. Sketch from Chapter 3, scene 1 of a current WIP. Pencil, kneadable eraser, and blending stump on cheap watercolor paper. I'll get better, but even a stick figure is better than AI. #artsky #sketch #noai #dragonshifter

Trimmed the latest grow - 78g total, including the smaller buds I was able to pull from the dry tent a few days earlier for the next tincture batch. As I use this in edibles, tinctures, and salve, it's enough to see me through to the next grow. #420friendly #growmyown

#WIPSnips from BALLAD OF THE WINGED WRATH, book one of the Angel of Wrath Duology (which I'm editing through to get back into book 2), here we have flowers brought by a on again off again fuckbuddy... And a visual aid of said fuckbuddy #Digitalart #Writesky #booksky #PNR🔮📚

Dark mode snippet from Chapter Four of "Ballad of the Winged Wrath"

“In that case, I brought you flowers. I left them in Valkarah because I wasn’t sure how visceral your reaction to this outfit would be,” he explained, holding them out to me. I blinked at them for a moment before I gingerly accepted the pot. He hadn’t brought me the traditional bouquet of red roses because he knew I wasn’t a fan of roses and complained about bouquets of flowers dying too quickly. Instead, he brought me potted Dahlias, which were my favorite flowers, in a deep chocolate and red ombre which matched his hair.

“You… Maalik,” I looked from the flowers to him needing to know now more than ever, “What’s going on?”

“I’m taking you on a real date. I doubt any other man has ever brought you a pot of your favorite flowers,” he said, gingerly caressing one of the petals. I set them on the table in the hall.

“They haven’t. They also haven’t come dressed in a corset and leather pants,” I said, turning to him again. “Nor have they done so after fucking me over lunch of my favorite food, which they made.”

Her fuckbuddy "Maal" leaning on her front door in a leather corset, leather pants, and head kicker boots (not pictured). He is an Angel of Wrath, Judgement, and Pain.

I suck at drawing hands, but it's one more step toward saying 'f AI'. MMC in his humanoid form, well, his hand at least. From chapter 2, scene 2 of a current WIP. Pencil on cheap watercolor paper. #artsky #noai #amdrawing
