Just a reminder because I need to make money to live: I am currently seeking clients. I offer freelance services. Primarily ghostwriting, developmental editing, and copyediting, but I can also research, write book proposals, create outlines or synopses for an existing work, and coach. I'm a trauma-informed writer with 16 years of experience who finds purpose in helping people find their personal voice. Broadly, my specialties include religion, religious trauma, cult research, psychology, autism, social justice topics, the art of fiction and nonfiction narrative, and speculative fiction. I'm adaptable and know a little about a lot. I'm a member of the EFA, AoG, and SFWA. My most recent ghostwritten book is Sexcommunicated, a memoir for sex therapist Natasha Helfer who spoke up in the Mormon community and was excommunicated for it. It is scheduled for publication (with co-byline) next spring. Reach out! (I do not use LLMs in my work, and prefer to not edit LLM-produced work.) #FediHire #FediHired #writer #editor

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2026.09.28 — Could you work without the [I]nternet? What would change? I wrote using a computer from 1975 through 1997—though the early years were timeshare—without the aid of the Internet. Spellcheckers and grammar checkers appeared well before they became Internet-based, though I have hardcopy (remember books?) dictionaries, reverse dictionaries, spell-check books, and thesauri. I do have encyclopedias of science, engineering, and other knowledge lookup books, but realistically, research without a good librarian would be very much more difficult without the Internet, and would have taken days instead of minutes. I look up a lot of things. Writing my Mars-colonization novel would have been very difficult without being able to look up facts, photos, a discussions at the time of need. Moreover, I would not have written it at all, since the feminist story is based on a #writever month of feminist prompts—31 of them, one for each chapter—posted on Mastodon. I am thankful for the Internet.

I accidentally deleted my other intro when cat jumped on lap so. Here we go again? #newtofedi I go by Remedy and I'm into technology, writing, literature, media analysis, photography, crafting, and a lot of other things. I also really like R&B music, New Wave, and various other musical artists and bands that I'm very passionate about. I'm not entirely used to talking about myself/my general hobbies in public so bear with me LOL. I like to write stream of consciousness blog posts and other stuff. I'm a religious studies major but not in a weird way; I'm studying queer affirming religion and spiritual pallative care. I seek to get my mDiv and volunteer in hospital and hospice chaplaincy. I'm also a writer, and I've been writing since I was a toddler. I'm working on a literary fiction novel at the moment called (working title) "Lilies in Watercolor" and I may post about that too :p I'm currently in the progress of becoming a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). I became an attender at my local meeting in August 2026. I'm very lucky to have found my specific instance and its community as well! Omglol seems very kind. Also I'm an anglerfish. Anyway, it's nice to meet all of you... do we do hashtags like other sites? #writingcommunity #writer #quakerism #quaker #webdev #alterhuman #therian

Hello all! I am cagey about my name so just use my username! 👋 I had Mastodon a while back, stopped checking, then only realized my instance collapsed fully 11 months after the fact! AGH! Have to try to rebuild I guess. I'm mainly a #writer, mostly #fanfiction (#BackToTheFuture right now), still with dreams of an original #scifi novel one day. I'm also active on the ImaginaryElections subreddit FWIW, albeit under a different username. Nice (re)meeting you all! #introduction

#introduction I’m a nerd. #Hacker. #Writer. #Artist. #Gamer. Joker, smoker, midnight toker. That’s a lot of labels, but it doesn’t really tell you who I am. What are #pronouns? Little bits of linguistic fluff other people use to describe me. I grew up with she/her, but I’m discovering I may feel more comfortable with they/them. It’s all rather fluid at this point in life. I like deep, involving stories with a lot of world building and character arcs. Big fan of stormy weather. Love cuddling with #cats. I prefer to keep my politics offline, as I have yet to see a mind genuinely changed as a result of internet debate. I trade time for money and call it work, like most people do. It’s what I do, but not what I love. I’m hoping to find some decent people to follow. New to the instance, not to mastodon. However, I value my privacy.

#Writer #Novel #Writing #Story Excerpt from "Frozen Moon", a lesbian romance novella by Vivian Schey (me…), ©2018 V-Ltier Verlag It’s Christmas Day. The sun is about to shine in my room. Which means it’s nearly noon, yet I have no desire to get up. I don’t want to open my eyes; this moment is too good. That warm, soft feeling at my back. Hair tickling my nose, stirred by gentle breaths. The steady pulse in the hand embracing my stomach—waking up could hardly be lovelier. …👇

My husband (@securingdev@infosec.exchange) is in Las Vegas this week for a tech conference. On Wednesday, someone came up to him and asked, "Are you related to Sarah J. Hoodlet?" Apparently, she had no idea who he was (he's fairly well-known in his industry), but she's a MASSIVE fan of my books! 🤩 I can’t believe it. I’m elated, humbled, awed, and—admittedly—a tad uneasy. Is this what it’s like to have low-level fame? This can’t be real. If this was you, please say hi! 👋 #writer #author #WritingCommunity

More about me. I've always wanted to be a #writer of #scienceFiction and #fantasy but working as a #computerProgrammer, #softwareDeveloper, #agileTrainer, and #coursewareDeveloper is how I made my money. I've written one #romcom #novel so far, not yet published, and a few articles on #extremeProgramming which were published. I might be a better editor than a writer. my literary heroes include Terry Pratchett #discworld and Theodore Sturgeon
