Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Oh, in other news. I joined two writing groups in my area. One is a lesson and critique group. The other is a socialization and writing sprint group. It's been really nice getting out of the house and meeting fellow writers. 😊 Although I'm a bit shy about sharing my work with the critique group. 130
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I'm around 600 words short of 20k on a new novel. I don't know why I was so frustrated and absolutely struggling to write today. The goal was to get to that 20k milestone today. I've been so consistent with writing so I have no idea why today of all days I just wasn't feeling it. 010
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Apparently, I was using Quillbot, not Grammarly. I looked into switching, too. Yeah, no... ugh. 000
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 02/12/2025My mum keeps telling me, as soon as I publish my book, to let her know. She plans on telling my entire family so they can buy a copy. Meanwhile, I'm just like, "Please, don't." I don't want my family knowing anything about my depravity. 😂 #writersky #booksky #amwriting 050
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Grammarly, no joke, suggested I add an em-dash, and I started sweating bullets. Decided to rewrite the sentence instead. I HATE this timeline we live in. 😭 #writersky #writing #amwriting #booksky 160
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 18/08/2025I know I might have mentioned this, but I've been trying to self-publish for probably 9 years now. Every time I think I have something worth publishing, I get crippling anxiety and self sabotage myself. Hence, two hard drive failures and then me just deleting my novella. lol. 🙃 100
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 12/08/2025I need to join a local writing group. My brother read over a couple chapters of the book I'm working on and was incredibly sweet, but I feel a bit discouraged. I used to be praised for my dialogue, and now it seems that's my weakest area. 😭 #writing #amwriting 240
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 04/08/2025My subscribers for my YouTube channel voted on me reacting to "A Serbian Film," and now I'm just traumatized.media.tenor.coma man in a suit and tie is smiling in an office .ALT: a man in a suit and tie is smiling in an office . 000
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 27/05/2025One of my voice actor friends was more than willing to work within my budget for an audiobook. I was under the impression I was offering so little for my it... APPARENTLY, he already voiced a book for $20. WTH?? THAT'S AWFUL!!! 😡 So, yeah, I'm offering WAY more than that so he was happy. 171
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I know I'm a huge perfectionist, but I just deleted a 35k word novella of mine because I just wasn't feeling it. ...Five years of work Hopefully, this next one feels... better. #writing #amwriting 1101
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Guess who just had their entire 4th draft accidentally deleted?? 🤪 Thank goodness I learned my lesson and had a backup. I don't know how I have this extreme amount of bad luck with losing entire iterations of my work. #writingcommunity #writerslife #writer #author #writersky 280
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I edited two chapters out of my monster romance novella months ago and now I'm going through it and don't know where I placed that draft. If I don't find it soon I'm going to have to start over. I'm so angry at myself!! Why am I so disorganized?? #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersky #author 140
Reposted by Vanessa FaulknerSad Monster @dyre.bsky.social · 18/01/2025I want a horror game that flips the script and lets me be friends with the scary thing. It can still be absolutely horrifying, trying to scare me, but if I don't get scared and bring it treats...I can be its friend. Gimme monster friends that are actually scary. I need them. 091
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Logged into tiktok and well... yeah... so, hello!! #booksky 070

Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I really wanted to do rapid releases of books (as in writing 2-4 books a year). I have been absolutely STRUGGLING with this new book though!! This is the fifth book I've written over the course of 17 years. I have no idea how other writers are able to do it! HOW?? 130
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Editing my debut novel for the 4th time and I know there's going to be many, many revisions after this. How many revisions did you do for your book before publication? #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #writer #author #writersky 250

Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Getting distracted from editing my book that has a January deadline... Been writing smutty Dead by Daylight fanfics instead. 😂😂😂 Ghostface has me in a chokehold. 040
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 21/10/2024I finished a rough draft of a monster romance manuscript and got an alpha reader to look over it. I haven't opened the alpha reader's notes in a month though. I'm terrified. 😂 030
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 26/02/2024I'm looking over my outlines and wondering where my story went off the tracks. I know that's normal but now I'm stuck and have been stuck for quite some time on this writing project. 100
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 07/01/2024Once again, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my post to get any engagement and as such, completely forgot about it for an entire month. Just followed back all the authors who followed me. 😆 050
Vanessa Faulkner @vanessafaulkner.bsky.social · 07/01/2024Oh geez! Of course, the one post I made a month ago and consequently forgot about took off and Neil Gaiman himself even responded? What?! 080
