Aspiring writer. I have a secret scientist alter-ego I never shut up about.

@TheLindseyByrd Amazing!! Excitement!!!

[Lindsey Byrd @TheLindseyByrd]

I'm so excited to share this with the world! Check out the cover of my beloved book, out May 2025!!! #WritingCommunity #FantasyBooks #AF

@ThtGyWthThHr @aoifur This is also what is striking to me. She can rightly describe and complain about a 3PM drop in energy or focus if she's experiencing, but the claim its hormonal requires actual evidence.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

On the other hand, I am rewarded for my procrastination because I get to read the whole trilogy back to back.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I FINALLY got around to reading NINEFOX GAMBIT! Why did no one tell me how amazing these books were! They're so so good, I can't believe I left them this long.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@Steam is apparently so dysfunctional there's no support of my issue. I'm resorting to this godforsaken website because I can't get help on your website.

[Avery Edison @aedison]

watched three different pieces of media in the past week that referred to lockdown as “a boring time” and I think it sucks that by definition the people who tell the stories of our culture do not belong to the class that worked to keep the world going. deadliest job was line cook

@melisscaru I'm hoping to make a Zaira and Amalia scarf so I can have a set, once Christmas Craft Season is over. This was my first character scarf and it was fun!

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@melisscaru it took a while but this is the Kathe Scaf. It caused as much trouble as you'd expect a Kathe Scarf to cause, but I fun.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I'm stuck in the very specific annoying space of knowing exactly what I want to write and not being able to execute it. #amwriting #ornot #asthecasemaybe

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I really like good YA books, but there is nothing quite as unsatisfying as a book that has been jammed into YA genre conventions when it would have worked better as an adult novel. Its a particular flavor of mistake that just drives me bonkers.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@melisscaru I'm not a good enough artist to make embroidery patterns. But I do have a very fun idea for a Kathe scarf.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I have fallen right down the rabbit whole of @melisscaru's Eruvia and now I would pay embarrassing quantities of money for Vaskandran embroidery patterns.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@IndrapramitDas @SubPress I'm trying to be picky about my @SubPress purchases, but this looks so good.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I just found out that @melisscaru wrote a whole earlier trilogy before ROOKS AND RUIN and I need a day off work to go to the bookstore.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@fozmeadows I honestly wouldn't bother.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@fozmeadows Fantastic, I'll eat your servings. Do you happen to like angel food cake, because you can have mine, its the worst.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

@Bethyo Laboratory alcohol. A smell most people hate, but I love.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I always thought authors were being dramatic when they talked about how bad marketing your writing feels (because like, engaging writing is their job after all)... but no, it really is that bad. I feel ill. #amwriting

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

Its not all bad news though. I have made some superb yarn in the mean time.

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

I don't have enough web presence to make pretentious #amwriting threads (or more properly #amnotwriting threads) but I'm going to anyway, for practice (it doubles as practice being optimistic). 1/n

[Alexandra J King @FractalOfLoops]

So I'm finally, about 4 months after I should have, admitting to myself that this timeline isn't going to work for me. The novel will still be here when I'm ready and hopefully that will actually preserve my capacity to, you know, write, in the mean time. 5/n
