It was a miserable day in Sydney today & it's raining now, but I hung out with my husband & we had dinner together. It was so nice. Also found a few cool things. Isn't The Bride adorable?!

Adorable The Bride of Frankenstein plush and a spooky sticker book.

PS. Of course I got this card the night I completed a short story & a poem, plus started revising another shortie. It's all about moving on & letting my creativity flow. Love it.

I pulled my first Sally card last night & it definitely relates to my writing life. After overcoming a shitty situation last month, it feels GREAT to be free of that crap situation & I'm excited about writing again.☺️ Keywords: moving forward, progress, relief, escaping, accepting lessons #TarotSky

The VI of Needles card from The Nightmare Before Christmas tarot deck featuring Sally patching herself up with needle and thread. Deck made by Minerva Siegel (writer) and Abigail Larson (artist).

Well, today I finished the final read-thru of a short story (2,090w) & a poem as well. Then I completed the second draft of the short story I wrote last night (1,363w). Happy with that! Slowly getting back into the swing of writing things. ☺️

It's really hot today but I'm enjoying a walk around the river.

#Booksky, are you in the mood for some creepy folk horror this Halloween season? 🎃 ONLY DARKNESS is my self-pubbed book about a cursed family, set in a small town, with a good dose of urban myth & a mysterious entity. Told in two parts: Suffer. Surrender. Kindle/KU/paperback: mybook.to/XIvD2

The paperback copy of my horror novel, ONLY DARKNESS. The cover is dark and features a creepy girl with long hair and black eyes.

After not feeling the best during the weekend (but getting some pretty good blood test results back) we got back into yoga today. It was SO awesome. Exactly what we needed right now. 😍

I'm sorry, Sophie. What a bunch of tools. Their loss. You don't need people like that in your life.

Yet another reason why we should all reject this AI BS. This crap that they're trying to push on us is toxic & useless. Helps to fry your brain, which is exactly what these corporations want. If everyone becomes a brainless twit, they can get away with anything & no one would care. Fuck that shit.

This is bleak & gross. So disappointing to hear that even publishers are using AI. As if I don't have enough trust issues already with the publishing industry. Why are companies so willing to be unethical?! There's no decency left, is there? Only greed. 😑

Yolanda Sfetsos @yolandasfetsos.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

OMFG. Who the hell would do this?! When a book is published, it's published & has been through many edits already. Readers are supposed to READ books, not prepare editorial notes to send to the author. WTF is wrong with people?! 😑 Such arrogant, unhinged behaviour.

Yolanda Sfetsos @yolandasfetsos.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

That's SO true! I mean, as much as I love Frankenstein & Dracula, I don't think they need the millionth version released this year. 🫤

Yolanda Sfetsos @yolandasfetsos.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Yes! Personally, I love that because I also like listening to the wind during my river walks.

This is a great thread about capitalism & the bullshit men peddle simply because the patriarchy doesn't GAF about any kind of actual caregiving. Profits are the only thing that matter & that's why the world is so off balance.

I've been working on short stories this week & have decided to re-organise my collections... but my debut collection is already available! If you're curious about my stories, this is a great place to sample my writing & you can read the first two stories here: read.amazon.com.au/sample/B0DRG...

The paperback and eBook (on my Kobo Libra Colour) of Melancholy Delusions with the title on top and my name on the bottom, both in green. Beautiful cover featuring a woman looking into a mirror with some creepy things in the reflection.

We just saw a YT video about some of these teeny-tiny eReaders & one page consisted of two paragraphs! WTF?! No thanks, my eyes need an average size reader. 😅

Last night I wrote the first draft of a short story on my phone & I read it out to my husband this morning. He enjoyed it (yay!) & I revised it on my laptop this afternoon. The word count is currently: 2,074. It's on my Paperwhite already for one last read. Feels good to get back into it. ☺️📝

If this is true, it's absolutely abhorrent. These motherfuckers need to be expelled from the US ASAP. I STILL can't believe people were hateful & stupid enough to vote for this shit. Disgraceful.

'I'm Awake Now' by the Goo Goo Dolls (from Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare) AND 'Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)' by Dramarama (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master). Plus, The Lost Boys soundtrack. Of course. 😁

It's Friday & hubby actually gets this weekend off so I'm super excited! Nice walk, too. It's sunny, warm & the breeze is nice. ☺️

Time for a pinned post refresh 👻 If you're a fan of good books featuring strong women, all kinds of thrills and chills, and stories told with lots of heart, I might be the author for you! I've got everything from novels to short stories spanning almost every subgenre of horror. #booksky

Fuck this asshole. Seriously, I can't wait until the day we don't have to hear/read anything this piece of shit has to say. It's well overdue.
