V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Gonna be pet/house sitting this weekend and looking forward to having reduced distractions so I can focus on my writing! Slowly brainstorming how to work around my writer's block to do so... #writesky #amwriting #writing 050 0
V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026You know what I love about writing? That so long as it evokes emotion and gets your brain thinking in a good way, there's legit no real rules. Yeah, you should learn convention so you know HOW to break convention. But the rules? Made up! Don't fret the rules, write the words. #WriteSky 000 0
V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Sometimes a book is intended to be enjoyed on the second or third read compared to the first read. These books are confusing at first then greatly rewarding for those who can push through the chaos into the order. #booksky 010 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 01/05/2026As someone who once had a reactive dog, who was good with n people but not other dogs, it really bugs the hell out of me when people don't leash their dogs in shared communal spaces. Be a responsible dog owner and take them to the dog park if you want them free outside. #thanks 021 0

Reposted by V.R. ByrnesSZ Estavillo @szestavilloauthor.com · 23/04/2026Don’t judge a book by its review count. I met a fellow indie crime author who exchanged books with me. He only had 1 review. Started reading & it’s damn good! Review count doesn’t = quality. Sometimes great books just haven’t been discovered yet. Give indie books a chance. #AuthorSky #BookSky 601538272 0

I don’t use it to brainstorm, build outlines, create social media posts, or change my pacing. I write stories that are imperfectly human, thank you very much. 🕶️ #writesky #writingcommunity 052 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Spent my time reviewing everything I've written so far of my main WIP today. All 36,000 words of it. Not gonna lie, it reads better than I felt like it would with how small my writing spurts are. #writing #amwriting #booksky 030 0
V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I have lots of experience with the beginning and middle of my book, but not as much experience at finishing it and the only way to remedy this is to write more stories. #writing #amwriting #booksky 010 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Coming to terms with the fact that I am probably not going to like this draft of my book. That's okay, last time I worked a project this big it wasn't until the fifth draft that I started to feel like I had something good. Just gotta keep writing and developing the story. #amwriting #writing 060 0
V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Struggling with the pacing of my book today. How do I keep the tension without rushing it? #amwriting #writingsky #writing 010 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I did some extra writing yesterday to make up for having to work today. Even though the work was optional and I agreed to do it, because capitalism, I still would rather be at home doing literally nothing, if not writing. #amwriting #writing #WritingCommunity 000 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Focused on reading and storytelling today. Got some good notes on having a decent message, but being too on the nose, ruining the message.

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/03/2025I live right next to a highway (literally, it's all you can see outside my bedroom window).

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Didn't fall asleep until five am this morning so didn't accomplish much that I hoped I would get done today. I'm not done for today but can't help but feel like I've fallen short for the day. #amwriting 120 0

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 08/02/2025For those unaware, I have Schizo-affective disorder. This means I have symptoms of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder (mine is depression). What triggers my symptoms is stress and instability. Due to this, my symptoms are flaring up. So I will abstain posting until I stabilize. #disabledwriter 110 0
V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Due to the general state of my country right now, I don't know if I can write, when I will be able to write, and if I do write it will be fleeting and sweetly short.

V.R. Byrnes @vrbyrnes.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Set aside time everyday that you save for writing and stick to it. Some days will suck, write anyway. Some days you can't get the story to stop long enough for a break. Consistently showing up to write on both those types days is the key to becoming a better writer. #amwriting #writing #consistency 140 0
