Writer ~ 30+ ~ 🏳️‍🌈 Sci-Fi Fantasy Romance✨https://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3lyamxmbyws2aStruggling with crippling writer's block recently, a mix of bad mental health, the state of the world and a kind of paralysis of "what if nobody likes what I'm writing?". Time to write for myself I think, and if other people like it, that's a bonus.07 Sep 2025 11:54 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyamxmbyws2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3luqlbt3gis2qI did however get my mechanical keyboard today (my reward for hitting 7,500 words, and also because my 30+ spine can't hack writing like a pretzel with my laptop anymore) and picked up some other neat things I didn't need but absolutely had to have. She's named Wilhelmina btw, and she's fabulous.24 Jul 2025 22:26 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3luqlbt3gis2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3luqiu7d6dk27My day job is really sapping the existence out of me, so I've resorted to jumping in and out of random chapters and writing whatever sticks. This first draft is getting messy... I'm at 10% of my target words although whether I stick to that target remains to be seen.24 Jul 2025 21:42 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3luqiu7d6dk27https://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3lugh2wq7sk2pA snippet from Chapter 1 of my Sci-Fi Fantasy Romance, where we meet pansexual (retired) star-pilot Morrigan and the city she calls home #WIPSnips [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Jul 2025 21:44 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lugh2wq7sk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3luecw4xmu22dHit my first writing milestone today 😎 5,000 words, but that's 5,000 words more than I had this time last week. Feeling like the threads are coming together with this one though, and I much prefer my MC here than in my urban fantasy idea.20 Jul 2025 01:24 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3luecw4xmu22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3lud6j6btpk2cThere should be a "writer" setting on browsers that explains away your dodgy search history.19 Jul 2025 14:32 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lud6j6btpk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3lud2isdrgs2sScrewed my head back on and got my plot for book one of The Tenacity (working title) nailed down + the first draft of the prologue and chapter 1.

Will writing occur? Only time will tell.25 Nov 2024 08:33 +0000at://did:plc:et3jpytxwpfodevrxnhunmqz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbr4enwkks26https://bsky.app/profile/stephaniestone.bsky.social/post/3lbm3puat532oStaring blankly at this empty social media feed the same way I stare blankly at an empty page.
