Having read and reviewed a stellar debut novel by a fellow UoW creative writing alum, I am giving myself permission to read some tradpub for a bit -- sometimes an indie just sets the bar that high and you're not ready to be let down again. Asimov first, "The Ninth" series by Muir after that. :)

BLAME! insane that this is the second page of the book. Nihei is unreal

Two page spread of the first issue of BLAME! by Tsutomu Nihei. A tall and short figure traverse an aged steel sci-fi bridge across a seemingly endless chasm with endless sci-fi ceiling above them. Manta Ray like figures fly off into the distance. The level of detail is bonkers

My submission for #PoemsAbout #WaxedTears @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk This poem is called 'Hardly the Time (to Cry)' Poem is included in the alt text of the corresponding screenshot. #poetrysky #writingcommunity

I don't have the time

or the energy

to have a good cry

And I mean the

lips quivering,

face scrunching,

body shaking,

noise making sort

aka-

the ugly cry

Where your eyes

and cheeks burn,

the taste of salt

lingers on clammy skin,

the head throvs

with the efforts

of shedding grief

I could use

an ugly cry-

or three-

right now

But the tears never come

When I have the time,

if they ever come

at all

It's part of the curse

of growing up like I did,

crying was an inconvience,

a way to get attention-

or yelled at

Now,

I hardly cry at all,

not even when I'm alone,

in my room,

the way

I've always preferred

Instead,

I wax poetic

about my woes,

subjecting you

to my little sob story

On and on,

my inky tears flow

In the very way

I wished

my real ones would

My daughter has been making little books, including The Adventures of Esther’s Cats, Why Cats Meow, and an untitled one about a dog, a cat, some snails, and a monster with 40 heads. When I told her that I liked them, she said that she would bury one with me in my grave!

Three books of different sizes, hand written by a small child, with drawings of cats. Colourful star stickers on the biggest one.

Excited to show off the cover for the upcoming short story collection, Harvesting Moonshine & Other Stories by @mldcurelas.bsky.social. The fantastically retro cover is by @skyladawn.ca. Harvesting Moonshine will be out in August! Ebooks on pre-order now: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJGHGRS

Book promo post. Text says Cover Reveal. A 3D mock-up of a short story collection, Harvesting Moonshine & Other Stories, by M L D Curelas. The cover is teal and gold-toned. On the gold, right-hand side, a flying saucer soars over towering skyscrapers. The teal left-hand side lists a few stories collected in the the volume, finishing with the tag line ... and more! The cover is distressed and creased to give it a vintage, pulp feel. The background image is the same retro flying saucer hovering over the buildings, but now the colour is teal instead of gold.

Using the word "clean" in book marketing is far from the worst thing ever, it's just something I personally dislike. What do you think? #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions #bookmarketing #bookishopinions #indieauthor

A shy store clerk. A plain Jane. A near-hermit. An unlikeable jerk. An ambitious perfectionist. Their common link? A new pill that promises lucid dreams, but delivers scary side effects. The line between dream and reality blurs as they discover its origin. #BluePit📖 #Q #SF

Three vertical fantastical images: Reddish tree in distance, some reddish-coloured grass, what looks like sand; Asian woman sitting holding glowing white orb in blue "room"; city scape at night.

The paint that slipped onto the research; the photography, that lay underfoot on the studio floor that built up over time to create layers and new stories without a contrived shape. Francis Bacon called it ‘the compost’ - call it what you will, it has incredible value ... @intantainicus.bsky.social

I know it is totally normal to struggle to be creative while your rights as a human to exist are constantly up in the air, but damn I wish I felt creative at all right now. I want to bury myself in making something beautiful just for me, to make some joy— but it is just NOT happening. 😔

You guys, I have become a victim of Big Dumbbell. I bought a pair of ten-pound dumbbells, but after a few months, they were too light. Same with 15s and 20s. Now I have to buy 25s. It's like they're preying on my ability to gain muscle! When will this madness end?
