Hey, all. Julie Rehmeyer has made it easy to donate Blue Sky invite codes to folks in the disability community for whom Twitter was a crucial support. If you have extras you can drop them here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

BlueSky Invites for the Chronic Illness Community

Please fill out this form if you're the chronic illness community and you'd like to either (1) donate invite codes or (2) request an invite.

(The reason I think of this whenever I read resumes is it took me a long time to realize there were skills I could put on my resume that I hadn't thought made me unique in any way.)

In honor of me reading resumes (again): What's something you thought most people have/do easily, but have found is actually an uncommon skill you have? My biggest one is finding information. (TBH, it's just Google, but knowing you need to look & doing it effectively is a skill.)

My heart breaks a thousand times every day slate.com/technology/2...

I just finished the first draft on Sunday, and I'm super excited about how it turned out. (Very different from my original vision, but in a better sort of way, I think.) These prompts are the very first I've shared about it. They were a lot of fun!!! 💖

Last 1 for #MixTAPESTuesday Setting: Well... It's partly set in a 90s-esque low fantasy version of our world & also set in an entirely fictional version of the 1920s. Also a scene on a pirate ship in the 18th century. Also a scene in a medieval forest. Also there's an apocalypse in the background.

Next one for #MixTAPESTuesday (it is still Tuesday in my time zone!) E: 3rd person limited, always. For this WIP, it's a single character's POV. A lot of what happens isn't necessarily real, and so I wanted to limit to just her experience of that.

#MixTAPESTuesday Welcome! We'll see if I can make this happen. Take all day to answer any and all the questions you like. We're starting out simple and basic. Give us expansive answers with one post per question or tauntingly brief answers all in one go, just use the hashtag so we can find them.

And the flip side for #MixTAPESTuesday Protagonist: Nah, she's not a hero at all. She would definitely agree with that assessment 😂 But she would also point out heroes have to do hero things. They're predictable. There are expectations to meet. It's the non-heroes who are the most fun.

More #MixTAPESTuesday Antagonist: This is actually an ongoing conversation the characters have throughout the book. So to answer, a quote from (not?) the villain: "I'm only the villain because you didn't meet me first."

Going to do #MixTAPESTuesday for the new WIP!! Themes: The biggest ones are to do with isolation vs belonging and reality/truth (and whether something has to be real to be true).
