In today's writing: --- They used a boathook under her arm to draw her closer then two men grabbed her to pull her aboard. They managed to get her halfway. “She’s a heavy thing, slippery too,” said one. “On three. One… two… heave!” Moments later the dead dark-skinned woman was dragged aboard, along with her fins and fish tail. None of them spoke for a very long time. --- ~ "The Damsel and the Mermaid" #amWriting #sapphic #romantasy #wip #writing #mermay #mermaid

The #MastoPrompt for Sunday 3 May 2026 is: #lavender The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word. @ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing. If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to. #Writing #SmallPoems #Poetry #Fiction #MicroFiction #SmallStories

I finished the book last night! So now I just have to go through and edit, which may be a somewhat longer process than for the previous two because it took me slightly longer to write, which means I'm more likely to have forgotten something I wrote earlier, so there will be more small inconsistencies. Still. I have a book. Indeed, I have a trilogy. Which, considering I started in January, is not too shabby. #writing

#eroticMusings Week 49 (May 3-9) Characters: Do you come up with your characters before their relationships, or do you design characters to fit desired relationships or interpersonal dynamics? Any interesting examples? I never know what's going to happen because I barely even know the main character before I start writing. (I certainly don't know who they're going to meet.) When I started the first Maliha Anderson book I didn't know she'd meet her LI within the first 1000 words. Or that their relationship would be finalised (for want of a better word, and I don't mean sex, that already happened) in the last 1000 words of the final (sixth) book. #writing #writingCommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 5/3. When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read is as present tense or past tense? Here, now? Present. Otherwise it depends on the context. Obviously. #writing #writingCommunity

  • a pox on any writer and/or publisher who forces an editor to edit AI slop

  • publishing houses who contract AI manuscripts thinking an editor will “fix” them because they check some marketing box are digging their own graves

  • authors wtf don’t use AI, you’re a disgrace

Anyone ever included a prologue to a novel? I'm doing it for the first time. I never thought I'd consider it, but there's a piece of critical information about a character that needs a setup, and there's no place in the book that feels right. The old saying, "Past is prologue." totally resonates. I guess I'll see when it's published. No dates yet. #writing #writer #writers #writersCoffeeClub #author #authors #writingCommunity #writingTips #writingPrompt #prologue #novel #novels #bookstodon #book #books #bookTok #booksky

In the hunt for reviewers, an ARC of my #solarpunk novella is now on NetGalley via @SFWA@wandering.shop This is the story of a country that decentralizes power, getting rid of presidents, politicians, ministers, and authoritarians. Instead, every citizen actively participates in running the country in a direct democracy. And there's no capitalism. Help me spread my idea of the future, get it on netgalley or send me a DM. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/837516 #books #bookstodon #sff #scifi #writing #writingcommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 5/2. When you finish a project, do you tend to feel that you have everything just the way you want it, or is it more like 'good enough'? Perfect is the enemy of done. Good enough is good enough. #writing #writingCommunity

@jerbear@kind.social writes… "This is a great opportunity to ask what level of engagement you’re looking for with your spicy posts, particularly from randos like me who follow you." This is an amaze question! I covered this like, years ago but I’ve switched accounts and evolved since then, so… the answer has evolved too! Oh and just so you know… im going to be direct in my answers so maybe treat this as NSFW, okay?

#WritersCoffeeClub May 1: Workers' Day — What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? I think buying books as directly as possible, giving as little as possible to extractive platforms. Second would be supporting libraries. #Writing #ActivistAuthors

#WritersCoffeeClub May 1: Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? Support libraries. Avoid Generative AI. Fight censorship. Remember, other writers are your peers not your competition. #Books #Writing #WritersOfMastodon #WritingCommunity
