@smassey.bsky.social#QueerWritersChat intro:
Heya friends, I'm Shannon (she/her) I'm an out neurodiverse writer, filmmaker, and a single mom. I've worked in writing services since the early aughts. I like to edit queer books/screenplays and write about lesbians and other sapphics getting up to shenanigans 🔥
@theodoresnapdragon.bsky.socialQuestion Two:
What do your characters yearn for?

@evanzawisza.bsky.socialHi #QueerWritersChat! I'm Evan, a transmasc writer of romance + erotica. At the moment, I'm working on Bloodsworn, a Lovecraftian post-apocalyptic romance-adjacent story about a young woman raised to fight eldritch horrors, and the shifter who she chooses as her partner.
@catherinewinters.com#QueerWritersChat A1: When the bored receptionist at a retirement home pens a newsletter full of made-up gossip about unnamed residents, no one realizes it’s a prank. Her identity’s a topic of hot debate until someone gets it wrong and a resident turns up dead. But which lie hit too close to home?
@bethanylaurel.bsky.socialHi, I’m Bethany, aroace cryptid, and this should be interesting. I’m creeping toward the ending of Tools of the Trade, in which a feral dragonboy learns politics and other arcane arts.

@cassmorriswrites.com#QueerWritersChat Intro: I'm Cass! Currently halfway through a final pre-querying round of revisions on the book that would've been a romantasy if I hadn't fucked it up by giving it anxiety, I mean politics.
@cherrypickett.bsky.socialHello, #QueerWritersChat! I'm Cherry (she/her). Current project: getting the little one to bed! (I'll be hopping in and out until this is done.)
Writing-wise, I'm working on the third book in my historical omegaverse romance / murder mystery series (aka Murder Polycule).
@shinikage221.bsky.social#QueerWritersChat
Been working on a TV pilot, murder mystery with psychic young people. I don't think I need to write the entire season? But I do have a rough idea of the season long arc of solving the crime.
@jeremyrayne.bsky.socialHey friends! Jeremy (MC) here, masc-esque fantasy-writing nerd. I'm wrestling with the fact that I signed myself up for a couple 'do this every day' goals for Oct and I don't motivate that way. Also doing a 1st read-through with minimal edits of my newest book
@amaralynn.bsky.social#QueerWritersChat 1:
Hello, tis I, amara, still writing my supervillain antics. Currently Ava is being a cocky little menace and we're having fun.
@leahbauerwrites.bsky.socialHey, #QueerWritersChat!
A1: I'm Leah (she/her) and I'm yes, you guessed it, still brainstorming revisions for my adult fantasy romance.
I am yearning for when I'll be ready to jump into revisions 😅
@ottersediting.comHi #QueerWritersChat I'm Steph! I write and edit mostly queer fantasy stories!
I worked a little bit this week on AnimalsWIP, a story about teens who can transform into animals competing in a sports competition.
@nerdiesamme.bsky.socialHello everyone!
My name is Sam (they/xe) and I have two projects I'm currently working on: editing for Sapphic Ladyhawke WIP and plotting out a solarpunk story. Happy to chat with everyone again!
@sadiehepworth.bsky.socialHi, I'm Sadie and I write queer romance! I'm currently working on Now That You're Mine, the sequel to my debut, He's Not for Me. It was a pretty good writing week, and today I finally got to write down a scene I've been dreaming up for weeks.

@strangeauthor.blacksky.appstay sane lol
@rebeccafrostwrites.comThrillers for all seasons! Okay mostly thrillers set in summer here but you get the idea. 😆
@rebeccafrostwrites.comIn my thrillers there’s usually a stretch of a couple weeks for the main event (thrillers unfold quickly) and then a jump for the epilogue, so things cover at least two seasons.
@rebeccafrostwrites.comMy characters usually love fall because I love fall. Everything’s crisp and cool and we have Halloween and the start to the school year - I’m the teacher now, but it’s still a fresh beginning.
