- “THIS IS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM USING AN OLD PASSWORD.” This is my new mantra I came up with as a sort of self bio-hack. It’s been modestly life-changing. Love, Henry #biohack #neurology #rewiring
- “IN DREAMS I WALK WITH YOU” 2 blocks from my house is a cemetery starring the remains of David Lynch. A year and a day after he left Earth, I went to thank the artist who taught me there is another world, but it’s not somewhere out there. It’s inside and it’s hidden in plain view. #DavidLynch

- Reposted by Henry Lien#4 Spring Summer Asteroid Bird by @henrylienauthor.bsky.social This is my new favorite writing book and would make an incredible gift for any #writer, new or veteran, because it expands Western storytellers' minds by showing another way (incl Kishōtenketsu structure). bookshop.org/a/102876/978...
- I’m shaken by the shooting at my alma mater #BrownUniversity. Remembering my time at Brown by studying my textbook from Chinese class. One of the gifts that Brown gave me was my own culture. Thank you, #BrownUniversity. Love, Henry #EverTrue

- Reposted by Henry LienUnneighbourly shenanigans, the fragile pride of a bourgeois villainess, colonial manners and high-society tedium - @henrylienauthor.bsky.social’s “The Lady’s Aquatic Gardening Society” in @asimovssfmag.bsky.social is more than screamingly funny. #colonialamerica #historicalfiction #feministlit
- Reposted by Henry LienI'm finishing a #solarpunk story using Kishōtenketsu structure and I learned so much about storytelling! Structure is such a powerful tool to open up your stories and do more with them. If you're curious about this 4 act structure @henrylienauthor.bsky.social's book was an invaluable guide!
- Highly recommend @henrylienauthor.bsky.social's book about Kishōtenketsu (the Japanese name for the classic 4 Act Eastern story structure). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kish%C5... Henry's slim book is concise & entertaining. Should be in every writer's toolkit! #writing bookshop.org/a/102876/978...

- Reposted by Henry Lien@henrylienauthor.bsky.social I also want to personally thank you for writing this book! I've been intrigued by this form for some time and your book is an excellent primer. I'd like to reference it in a upcoming class I'm going to be teaching on #solarpunk, if that's okay with you?

- Wonderful meeting up to write in person with some of my UCLA Writers’ Program students and prove that I’m not CGI. 4.5 hours flew by. Pic attached of profundities being written. Just too bad it was such an ugly location. Love, Henry #UCLA #Malibu #Bruins #AmWriting #LALife #ClassOutside
- SEQUELS IN REBOOT DRAG You know how sometimes a reboot covers the first movie but adds so much that you’re basically getting a sequel, too? Well, I just did that with my popular @writingtheother.com class about 4-act structure and circular/nested structures. writingtheother.com/diverse-narr...
