I finished the 3rd edition my novel, 20K shorter than 2nd edition. An epic sci-fi series begins when a non-politician changes his name to None of the Above and runs for president in the last election before doomsday. Book description in alt tags. #bookSky #writingCommunity #writerSky #authorSky

I finished the 2nd edition of my award-winning novel, The Internet President: None of the Above. Let me know if you'd like to read it before publication. Aliens watch over the election before doomsday. A non-politician changes their name to None of the Above and runs for president.

#5amWritersClub I rewarded myself with a donut. Oh, no. 🫣 There's a spider in the donut. 🕷️🍩 Spoiler alert: the spider was delicious. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky #amWriting

#5amWritersClub time sneaks up on you. It's easy to forget there are things besides writing to do. The book's about 30 words longer. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky #amWriting

#5amWritersClub I had the perfect dialogue version of some narration. The subtlety of the original narration was better for the book, but the dialogue version would be better for visual media. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky #amWriting

#5amWritersClub went to the Inglewood library. It had some skeletons on a rickety looking bench. I squatted so I didn't break the bench, but it look like I'm sitting. 😎🙌 Great job by the librarians and a decent joke. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky #amWriting #bookSky

Evil Dead Burn makes me miss Bruce Campbell and the humor this series used to have. Somewhat predictable, with good tension. Evil Dead without laughs feels conventional, while Sinners, Weapons, Backrooms, and even the Resident Evil reboot elevate the horror genre for me. #film #horror #evilDead

#5amWritersClub A reader insight led me to rearrange the beats of my chapter. It improved an a-ha moment and added a funny moment as a bonus. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky #amWriting

@pgsundling.bsky.social

My 3rd edition stripped the chapter down enough that two surviving beats were now next to each other, which felt convenient. Taking a look at the ways I could reorder the beats with new eyes led to a breakthrough.

Going to Burning Man can be profound, and the shared struggle against the weather is part of what makes the event special. The Man Will Burn captures the broad strokes of that experience. It makes me nostalgic and emotional about the three years I went. #burningMan #tvSky

As we hung out, I worked on my book, my daughter did this: I finally finished this from a #crochet kit, all I really needed to do was make antlers and sew them and the ears on, but I wasn't able to finish this before today. The back of the ears doesn't look good so I will try to hide them. #bookSky

My daughter made a crochet bee family which is really cute. Here's what she did: I made a little bee and a jumbo bee. I used chenille and a mix of acrylic yarns for the small bee and fluffy yarn for the big bee. I didn't have white fluffy yarn for the wings so I used blue instead. #crochet

None (None of the Above) is one of the two main characters. So if I run out of words None is left, because the MC remains. It was a joke that was only half baked.

Starlog. The name gives me chills. All the memories. How precious each magazine was. It's like when I actually looked forward to Thursdays for Babylon 5 because I had to watch at a specific time. Our NOW is so saturated with great sci-fi that we have no time to savor each one. #sci-fi #starlog

Tammy Komoff@tammykomoff.bsky.social

Very excited for the first issue of Starlog! I love that feeling of anticipation I get when a beautiful magazine shows up in my mailbox. Those few minutes spent riffling the pages, exploring the magazine's unique worldview is the ultimate escapism. #scifi #magazines locusmag.com/2026/06/star...

My power outage ended up in my book. It was a thriller scene with a chase where the emergency lights were out, too. So I cheated and described my actual hallway. #bookSky #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky

The power went out last night, but we found the lantern & the TARDIS, yay! Also, thanks for reading & sharing & liking my poem Takoyaki Tuesday at Kaleidotrope.

I'm pretty good on 4 hours today. Ever have one of those days where your coffee needs its own coffee to get through the day? Those 2 hour nights are the rough ones for me. 😲 #writesky #booksky #writingCommunity #authorSky

Makes me think of a mohawk with the way the coffee is falling down. So my mind drifts to The Last of the Mohicans and the time I saw Madeleine Stowe in a Mexican restaurant. Funny where the mind takes you. Grabbing some coffee and getting back to my book. #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky

Not only do I use titles to help me remember what's in the chapter, but I try to see if I can give the title multiple meanings for bonus points. #bookSky #writingCommunity #authorSky #writerSky

Andrew Bruce-Lockhart@andrewbrucelockhart.co.uk

I often don't write #chapters in my #WIP #novel in order & I often don't know exactly where they fit until I've written more of a vomit draft. My chapters have titles because it helps me remember what's in it 🤦. Numbers mean nothing to my weird brain #WritingCommunity - anyone else do any of this?

Backrooms mixes the essence of two things I love: surrealism and abandoned places. I hope it wins the Oscar for Best Production Design at the very least. #Horror #HorrorSky #HorrorCommunity #filmSky
