#WritersCoffeeClub 6: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work? I hide secrets and stuffs in a lot of my poems and stories. But prob the one ppl miss the most BC they're too busy feeling spicy is the unhealthy coping stuffs Dio (me) has in "Interlude in the Lower City." Getting ppl to hurt u and treat you bad BC you're sad and angry? I mean. Relatable. But not rly healthy at all. NSFW but enjoy if u like: https://princessnettles.com/index.php/2025/08/05/interlude-in-the-lower-city-full/ #writing #writers #nsfw

What is your cure for getting out of a creative slump? That's usually my brain's way of asking for a pause. I look around me: what's going on in my life? Stress? Worries? Grief? Anger? Unresolved problems soaking up the energy? Show the ol' noggin some compassion and let it have the break it's asking for. Just don't overdo it. #writersofmastodon #author #writers

@GrahamDowns@mastodon.africa Ones I've been getting quite a lot of lately, as the ones that say something like , "I tried to post a review on Amazon but couldn't. Is your book on Good Reads?" First could I sent the GoodReads link, and within 20 minutes a "review" had appeared, compiled by an AI bot from the blurb, and full of fulsome praise. Completely worthless as a review, and the motive unclear. More details here: https://methodius.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-literary-mystery.html #writing #writers #authors

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). Join us to celebrate the release of Marco Michelutto's new novel, and meet the real-world dog that he put into his fantasy academic world. https://britishfantasysociety.org/meet-marco-michelutto/ #fantasy #writers #writing #writingcommunity #creativity #books #fantasyacademia

The temptation to use a different, non-fedi social to share my writing and poetry and thoughts is pretty tempting sometimes. Like, okay. I don't write smutty spice, or poetry, or whatev else for money, or to build a brand, or to get ppl to sub to my stuffs, but IS nice when ppl read and comment. Mostly tho, I (and other indie writers I guess) are invisible. Lol, I guess the writing bot likes my stuffs? I've tried Archive Of Our Own but at least my experience was that if u aren't writing fanfics, u are invisible. Maybe I was doing it wrong? There's Tumblr, Bluesky, I guess? I hate that if I want real feedback, I have to compromise and use the ick tho! And I mean TOS and data miners ugh. #fedi #fediproblems #writing #writers #Bluesky #Tumblr

How do you tell stories when the possibilities are limitless? When time and place mean nothing and everything all at once? Join us at Writing the Occult: Time & Place on 5 September as we pose that question to some of the most accomplished writers to have set foot in the TARDIS... 🧵⬇️ #doctorwho #doctorwhobooks #whoniverse #sciencefiction #scifi #fantasy #horror #writers #writing #writerscommunity #creativity #creativetoots #books #tv #tardis

RIP ma'am #GiftArticle 'Mildred Pitts Walter, a Los Angeles schoolteacher who grew up in the Jim Crow South and wrote award-winning children’s books focusing on Black characters, filling a void in her students’ reading material, died on May 19 in Redwood City, Calif. She was 103.' https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/books/mildred-pitts-walter-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2VA.1pBc.qGf-L2TWHP6h&smid=url-share#writers #writing #BlackHistory #BlackExcellence #obituaries

Dicen que no son una editorial pero que tienen un sello editorial. Dicen que trabajan de forma altruista y sin fines de lucro, pero para pertenecer a SU FAMILIA hay que pagar un monto muy bajo que va a ser muy beneficioso para ambas partes (?). Ah! y dicen que la IA generativa no roba y patatas 🤡 ... Gracias @niasoler@mastodon.social 🙌 https://mastodon.social/@niasoler/117001843932702201 #editorial #IA #IAgenerativa #libros #escritores #amazon #books #writers #authors #AI #genAI #scam #illustration #illustrator #art
