Been reading dungeon crawler Carl and it has inspired me to work on a roguelike crawler. No idea if I will finish it, but this is a quick preview of the progress

Trying to look at objects and stuff and break them down into shapes while learning to draw. Honestly pretty proud of joltik and the gnome. If you told me I would actually be happy with something I drew just a week ago, I would have laughed you out of the room #drawing #learningtodraw

I am starting my journey into drawing. And while I am terrible at it, even the bad illustrations are better than anything AI could create. Hoping to be able to share the project I am working on in a few months, it is going to be awesome #drawing #fuckai

I absolutely hate when people brush stuff off and say “it was a different time” when referencing things from decades ago. We are all human. We have always been human. I don’t care what social norms were previously. Compassion isn’t new. Empathy isn’t some shiny new concept. It’s always been

If you use one of those randomly generated passwords from google, the chances of your cat running across your keyboard and typing the password correctly is higher than if you came up with a password from a known word or phrase. Google is run by cats who want to hack your accounts. #conspiracy

Question to all the writers on bluesky: do you listen to music while you write? And if so, what kind of music? I have been trying to find a good background to get me in the mood and maybe be a similar tone for the piece I am writing. #writingcommunity #booksky #writing

Just had a 3 hour long session of heroscape with a group of guys I met through the heroscape subreddit. I have really bad social anxiety, but pushed through it and had an absolute blast, and hoping to be a regular at their game nights. You can do anything. You deserve everything.

Is Melania’s movie going to be so bad and cringe that we will find a new respect for Gal Gadot? Probably not, but it gives us a new contender for worst actress ever

I truly cannot think of any movie I would care less to see than this waste of celluloid.

My toxic trait is thinking that I could be able to make enough money as a writer to survive, even though I have not had any work published. Confident? Yeah. Arrogant? Probably. Hubris? Most definitely.

The fact that ICE has now murdered two people in broad daylight (who the two people were in no way threatening the ICE agents who pulled the trigger) and there are no disciplinary actions on the agents is bat shit insane. How do you peacefully protest a regime that is hellbent on killing?

Authors of bluesky, what tips do you have for someone who is looking to get published in a literary magazine? My goal for 2026 is to get a single work published, doesn’t matter if I am paid or not, I just want to see a work of mine with a collection of others. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

Why is it so hard to write natural, flowing dialogue? I have discovered that I am a terrible conversationalist. I would like to apologize to my girlfriend, exes, all of my friends, and those who I have been on a date with. I’m boring as hell. #writingcommunity #booksky #writing

Bloggers of bluesky, how often do you revisit your older blog posts to edit and update them? Or do you treat those posts as final once they are published? #blogging

While the weather in the southwest can be volatile, knowing that Ted Cruz is leaving the state before a storm hits has me worried for the outcome. Stocking up on blankets, food, books and candles to get through the worst of it

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is incredible. Such an amazing follow-up to 28 Years Later, I have not been this excited for a franchise in a while. Highly recommend everyone who loved 28 Years Later to get out to theaters or to pirate the movie, it is absolutely worth every second. #movie

I am going to be watching 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple in less than an hour. I am so fucking excited!! Been waiting for this movie since 28 Years Later finished, I absolutely adore the world being built in these movies

Instead of writing anything today, I scrolled bluesky and saw all of the other writers talk abut their works, how much they wrote today, what they are about to publish, etc. Which for some reason made me feel productive. Am I doing this right? #writing #booksky

Writer’s block is the dumbest thing. I had the drive to write tonight, but nothing came out. I rewrote the same 3 lines about a dozen times over the course of an hour before calling it quits. Maybe tomorrow will be a more fruitful day #writing #writingcommunity

Dont get me wrong, I think baby dick Trump was always going to cause a mess on the world stage due to being a pawn for Putin. But the fact that it has escalated so fast to distract us from the Epstein files is insane. What the fuck is this timeline? Let me out

Pokemon trainers of bluesky, what is one of your favorite Pokemon that you wish got more love? Be it in official merch, or just within the community as a whole. For me it would be Galvantula. I know it has some love, but I want official merch outside of the plush. Gimme a tshirt! #pokemon

What do you do when you feel super burned out? I’ve had no energy to do anything after work recently and I am kicking myself for not writing more. I know I should cut myself some slack, and it can take years to recover from burnout, but I don’t have years unfortunately. I got a week lol

I never understood the idea of keeping secrets within a trade. Sure, you might be worried about giving an edge to your competition. But I like to think about it like you are helping someone who you can collaborate and learn from later on. A rising tide lifts all boats.

So did we need to have our New Year’s resolutions before today? It’s almost the end of the 1st for me and I still have no clue what my resolutions are. I didn’t think I would get here to be honest. What is your New Year’s resolution?

As we count down the hours to the new year (except for some who are in the future), I want to ask. Writers of bluesky, what was your favorite line, paragraph, or story you have written this year? I ask this while I don’t have anything lined up. I guess I am just happy I started writing again :)

My office is almost completely empty right now due to the holidays. Makes you wonder what profit for the shareholders I am creating right now. Good news is I am able to write uninterrupted for a while. Maybe I am my own shareholder? A man can dream

Watched “Bring Her Back” last night and holy crap. What an intense movie. People were saying the knife scene was hard to watch, but for me it was the wood scene a little after. Phenomenal movie! #movie #moviesky

Writers of bluesky, what advice do you have for self editing your work? I feel like I am pretty good at editing, but with how hard it is to get extra eyes on your work (and I am sure as hell not gonna ask AI) I almost feel like self editing is all I can do. #writing #writingcommunity
