Hiya! Im a first time writer working on selfpublishing my first book!

That looks intriguing. Thanks for sharing with us! Wishing you the very best of luck in your writing journey. Your artwork looks so pretty. Particularly love the use of colours and fonts. <3

Congrats and welcome!

We're British/Dutch as in she (I) am Dutch and we both work and write in the UK. We share music, travels, and movies on our YouTube channel and our articles, poetry, and book (The Codex File by Miles Etherton - more books to follow) through Substack and Medium. Nice to meet you! 🌷

Lovely to meet you too, Jon & Caz! Thank you for sharing your creative soul with the world!🥰 Greetings from Enschede!🌷🌷🌷

Good morning and ... wow! I (Caz) grew up in Enschede!! Such a small world, isn't it. Visiting again end of July/August. You live in a lovely city, the vibe is great, I think. Greetings from Romsey 🌺🌹

Welcome! I think you’ll like it here :)

Welcome aboard.

Hi Louise, and welcome!

Louise, I find that giving away a free short story (like a Kindle Single on Amazon) helps to spark sales for my three novels. Nice pix!

So very true, Paula. I hope my publisher doesn't see this, but I've given away loads of books!🤭

Welcome, Louise! I followed you already. You’re going to like it here.

I love it here already.♥️

I’ll add you to my starter pack.

Welcome! James, visual artist here. I think I saw you on Twitter many moons ago. 🙂

oh gosh, yes! I most definitely remember you, James. You have that soft, warm and flow-ey painting style that I absolutely adore! Anyone reading this, please check out @jamesfineart.bsky.social . He's exceptionally talented.

Welcome aboard. I am working on my sixth book of The Roman Sky series. The series is an alternative history genre I call Gaspunk as it is set in a 6th century that has airships, based on a missed opportunity in our history. Writing is my third career.

wooooo, my favourite sci-fi/fantasy author is finally on Bluesky! 🫶 Welcome aboard, @louiseblackwick.bsky.social

Thank you, thank you! Also, that meme is hilarious :))

Hi, Louise. I'm also attempting to be a writer. Toughest thing I have tried. Working on my memoir, and a fiction. Right now its edits after edits to get it right. The the dreaded query letter and proposal. Lol.

You can do this, Sue. Anything and everything is possible.💪 Also, it's really lovely to meet you! ❤

Welcome Louise.

I finally bit the bullet. I dumped ye olde Twitter like a bad X. (pun intended). After 10 years & thousands of friends (some of which became my best friends IRL), I put my password on shuffle & logged off forever. It was bad enough when they removed my legacy verification. Now the Algo is broken.😔

I DL'ed my posts and then I deleted my account. I refused to add to the number of users headcount.

I tilt my hat to you, Nicola. You did what I (physically) could not. I had thousands of posts, many of which on other people's timelines. It would have been an impossible feat to erase every trace of my presence. Plus, I didn't want X using my exact name & likeness for their nefarious AI scripts. 👎

Yeah, there was no future on that platform after the great takeover. oh yeah! I remember you got the blue check after the takeover, and then Elon Musk ripped it away from almost everyone.

Yes, I was verified for a month.😄I didn't even ask for the check (my publisher must've done something, idk). It was just there someday. Then I got hit with the famous "pay up or we remove it" message. I noped right out of that one, so it vanished. I probably won't bother this time around either.😄

Hello- the name is Nick- I run @aquietparadox.bsky.social and have a youtube channel & a redbubble shop- just a busy bee over here. This is one of my latest designs ~ have a great day!

Followed!

I’m fairly new here too. I live in south central Nebraska, I’m married and have five kids, and I’m writing and illustrating a graphic novel.

John here. Near Boston. Working on cowriting an adult sci-fi/fantasy that is Dune x John Wick.

Howdy! Welcome to the sky. I’m currently very eagerly awaiting my editor to send me her edits on Jonah of Olympic, the third story in my Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories series.

Wonderful to meet you, Nat! (I'm so sorry about the belated reply. I completely missed your reply) Looks like you've been exceptionally productive with your detective series. Congrats on completing another story & the very best of luck with "Jonah of Olympic". Wishing you a successful release! ♥️

Thanks. No problem about the delayed response. I do have the story back and plan to have the editing done by the end of the week. How cool is that? By being late to reply you get to see me go from eagerly waiting to doing the work in a flash. 😂

Welcome. I write gritty urban fantasy and co-author The Werewolf Whisperer series.

Thanks for sharing, Bonita. All 3 of them look and sound incredible.♥️

Welcome! It's nicer over here.

Ooh, @trishheinrich.bsky.social is relocating to the Netherlands later this year - you two should definitely network!

Oooh, that's really lovely to hear. Always a pleasure to befriend fellow wordsweavers! ^^ Do you happen to know where in NL will she be? (I live in Twente)

Last I heard, Utrecht. @trishheinrich.bsky.social - chime in!
