Well… I think I’ve decided my fictional world is much better than this real one…

organizing my idea bank made me realize how many projects I could create simply by projecting different aspects of my own flaws into my main characters…sure, this stimulates my creativity, but what does it say about my personality 😂 guess I’m a #flawedcharacter indeed. #romcom all the way.

One man’s meh book can be another man’s five-star read. Totally not me weeping happy tears at the ending of The Poppy Field. The mediocre 3.6 rating on Goodreads doesn’t change how much I love this book. #booksky #reader

I don’t read blurbs before starting books. If my brain goes, “what’s this book about and why can’t it get to the point?” I’ll know the story isn’t for me. But if my brain goes, “what‘s this book about and why can’t I put it down?” I’ll know it’s my 🍀 day Today’s 🍀: Jason Mott’s People Like Us #books

How contradictingly funny, that we spent almost our entire childhood to learn how to think, only to use the rest of our adulthood to teach ourselves to stop thinking the way we did before. #heal #childhoodtrauma #mentalhealth

Have you ever loved a book so much that you hung onto its every word until you get to the end, and it utterly disappointed you? Almost like I thought I loved someone, but instead of reciprocating my love, it stabbed me in the back instead. I need some cookie dough ice cream… #reader #booksky

Don’t you just love every weekend morning when you want to sleep in but your little one bursts into your room, wakes you up, says “Mommy, I’m going to give you a face massage,” and starts poking your eyebrow with a piece of Lego that’s shaped like a flame? #momlife #SleepIsOverRated

Idea list and reading list are both growing too fast…pretty sure at this point, I won’t have enough hours in my life time to check off everything on either lists… Anyone else have this problem? #ya #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky

A lot of Chinese paranormal mythologies teach people that although monsters and spirits are scary, humans are the real evil-doers? Can’t wait to dive back into my #YAhorror in the fall after reading another great ghost story. What reality is lacking, fiction needs to make up for it. #writesky

Book 1, Theo, the golden retriever, best friend's boyfriend: “No way,” Theo hollers. He peers over with a smirk. “Dude, are you the mystery date?” Great, he can’t memorize the difference between the mitochondria and the nucleus from our tutoring sessions, but this he remembers. #writingcommunity

The same actors in one show can give you completely different vibes in another. What makes them memorable is not only captivating performance, but also characterization. A great character can make a great story. So #writers, be bold and create those awesome characters! #writesky

Anyone who loves a good revenge story and enjoys k drama should watch Teach You A Lesson on Netflix. It is serious and hilarious at the same time, waking you up to the uglies in the world but also giving a spark of hope that maybe there are heroes who want to change the world for the better. #kdrama

#sparksandscribbles The amount of influence my side characters have on my protagonists is exactly why I love/hate them. Pushing and challenging flaws and false beliefs. The best way. #ya #kidlit #writesky

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I usually make my antagonist the exact opposite of my protagonist in the sense that they press on the protagonists’ weaknesses. Protagonist seeks reassurance? Antagonist takes away their confidence. Protagonist seeks love and attention? Antagonist gives them distance and harsh disciplines #writesky

With the summer started and the kids all riled up with extra energy, I decided I was going to go on a reading spree for the next two months instead of stressing myself out on drafting. Time to make a tiny dent on that 897 TBR list 😂 anyone have my number best? #booksky #writesky #reader #books

Holy smokes what a roller coaster ride of a book! That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally is soooooo good! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I listened to it. A YA thriller to impress, and with likable characters too! I hope they make it into a movie. #booksky #bookrec #reader #yathriller

I have two book recs but I’m tooooo lazy to write a full blown review lately (eventually I will)…everyone should read Deathly Fates by Tesia Tsai and Death and Other Occupational Hazards by Veronika Dapunt! Both have loads of mystery, dark elements, and fantastic writing! #booksky #readers #books

🚨SCAM ALERT🚨: I’ve heard from multiple writers that someone pretending to be me has been asking for their material (usually through an “editor” referral). This is a scam. I am currently closed to queries and encourage you to exercise caution when receiving these kinds of emails from ANYONE.

A rabbit was eating grass in our backyard. My 8yo son: do you think I can catch this rabbit? My husband: if you catch it, I’ll give you $2000 dollars. Son: really? Husband: yes. And now my son has been out in the yard chasing the rabbit for the last ten minutes… #momlife

#sparksandscribbles In book 1, Maggie’s belief is strongly affected by her mother, but falls in love with someone who is the opposite of that. In book 2, Lily defies the community beliefs and escapes her family, only to meet a boy who prioritizes cultural values before anything else. #yaromcom

#sparksandscribbles In my book 1, Maggie’s goal is to get the attention of her crush. In book 2, Lily’s goal is to get away from her father. #writesky

It’s amazing how a book can quickly pull you out of a reading slump in the most unexpected way possible @tesiatsai.bsky.social ‘s Deathly Fates is so much fun to get into and I can’t wait to see what Ren and Siying get themselves into. #fantasy #asianpacificislanderheritagemonth #booksky #readers

Happy May, #writingcommunity! Can’t believe it’s here already. It’s been four days into the month, and I’ve already lived through a few emotional ups and downs. Hope you’re surviving this year with a smile! Just remember, if you’re feeling low, you’re not alone! #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

Being a #writer, the ups and downs on this lovely yet exasperating path is no joke. I go from loving every word I wrote to the worst imposter syndrome in matter of hours. Did you know May is #mentalhealth month? Let’s support each other in #writingcommunity, because no one can do this alone.

How weird is it to dream of something crazy and “wake up” in your dream to write the idea down, only to wake up for real dreaming about that…almost feels like inception. Maybe we truly are living in a parallel world where dreams are just alternative universes… #writingcommunity #writerlife

#sparksandscribbles Book 1, my protagonist’s biggest fear is becoming the disappointment in her mother’s eyes. Book 2, my protagonist fears people will hate her once they see who she is. #writingcommunity #writesky #yaromcom #kidlit

#sparksandscribbles In my first book, my protagonist would self implode…she’s not good at being the center of attention and hates small talk socializing. In my second, my protagonist would shimmer with pride because she loves to be in the spotlight! #yaromcom #writingcommunity

One of my writer friends told me to stop calling my first drafts "vomit drafts". "They're unpolished diamonds," she said. And I feel like I should share it with the #writingcommunity as well.
