20th Mar 2026. Who is your ideal reader?I don't think I can improve upon the tagline I've used for years, which is that I write what I love for readers who love what I write.

"...writing will not improve your quality of life, gain you respect, or earn you money--but it might just be how you survive. No machine can do that for you.”

I'm seeking advice from #writers:
Right now, I'm not getting what I want out of my creative writing. I still feel like I'm holding myself back, playing it safe, hiding behind words instead of using them to reach out to the reader.
I think I need to break myself open, get a little crazy, shake it up a bit so I can bypass my thinking mind and write from the heart.
Do you have any suggested exercises (or other advice) for this kind of thing?

Goodnight Fedifriends.
The view on #capecod near sunset on a day deemed “unhealthy” because of particulates from somewhere or another — #Quebec fires? Boston smog? — despite a strong wind out of the north all day. #apocalyptic #writingcommuity #photography -
I revisited my favourite coffee place in Budapest, yet I did not get to write in there today. I hope, I will have a poetry related post ready later!
But first, look at Cafe Orient and their salted caramel latte with me!

Sitting down with a coffee.
Wearing a pretty dress.
Writing down a thought that has been around in my head forever.
Writing it for hours, in different shades and and forms, until it feels right.That's what I do at my favourite coffee place every Wednesday to write #Poetry.
How about you?

So from what I've heard, the #bluesky protocal is federated, but for corporations so they can continue to stalk you and make money, so they won't use ActivityPub?
Most comments on twitter are very kind, people say it's what they want, while Mastodon comments say it is very horrible. Hmmm!
Anyway #follow me so I can grow my enjoyment on here. I #followback mostly #artist #writers #filmmaker or the gatekeepers in those areas like #editor #curator #publisher etc #writingcommuity #sciencefiction

As an #author with a #smallpress I’ve realized getting on a “Most anticipated” lists is unlikely. If you’d like to help get my sci-fi & fantasy fusing epic adventure with lost technologies in front of more eyes you could vote for Trials of the Innermost on these Goodreads lists. 🎮Started as a video game idea

I’m pretty sure my fondness for 3rd person limited with multiple POVs shows the early influence of #ArthurRansome, who still strikes me as pretty darn good at it. Especially in his finest books, ‘Winter Holiday’ & ‘Pigeon Post’, which were also my masterclasses in handling a large cast (8 main characters, all given significant roles to play, esp. in PP).

I'm stoked to have a story in the 25th anniversary edition of Antipodean SF! It's a short piece, titled 'Exit Interview, and it was inspired by a classic SF film... https://www.antisf.com/ #writing #writingcommuity #sciencefiction #sf

so symmetry
in the conclusion
of the chapter
of the story
involving da/dvthe day i was wheeled out
onto a bus
there was snow falling about
lots of fusstoday i walk home
on my feet
there is snow where i roam
on every streetwhen they moved in
40°
complained of that heat
the departure due to sin
roughly zero degrees in
the irony, bittersweet -
My news: finished chapter seven and pushed it to my darling, brilliant, patient, talented, insightful, sharp-eyed, creative critique partners.
Do I appreciate my critique partners? Yes. Yes I do.
Starting eight, the last chapter in the first act. On track to hit 80k total word count.

I finally got to hold my book in my hands and the feeling was incredible but what felt even better was having my grandmother hold my book - so glad she’s here to witness this 🥰🥰

@itgodontpanic “Bailey’s books” section reviews “#TempestBlades: The Cursed Titans” along other really interesting books. Please give it a listen, worth you time. #writingcommuity #bookstodon #fantasy #hopepunk
I like the concept of “hopepunk heroes”. I might use it from now on. 🤔

Happy #Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! And a gentle reminder to the #nanowrimo participants. #keepwriting! You’re almost there! And if it feels like you’re not almost there, don’t worry about it. Just keep writing anyway. #writingcommunity #writingcommmunity #writingcommnunity #writingcommuity

I'm starting a #multitoot of #authors on Mastodon! Feel free to add to it, as I will only list the ones I recognize from #TheOtherPlace. Hoping this gains some traction; I bet many of us are trying to #FindAuthors right now.

Does anyone want to do a one-hour #writing sprint starting in about 10 minutes? (That's 5:45–6:45 p.m. Eastern.)

So here’s a thing- I started on the other place to boost my author profile and let people know about my books. I still do that there but here if seems a bit rude. It feels a bit like walking into a cafe and shouting ‘buy my stuff’.
Over the next 2 week or so I’m going to do a daily post talking about one of my backlist. After that I’ll keep quiet about them unless it seems relevant.

Do you have an author (or authors) who are a a major comfort to you? Who is that metaphorical warm hug for you? Anne Rice is that author for me. I used to read her as a teen and I find I occasionally crave her words and it's often when the real world is being a bit much for me.
