I've really gotten into building adventure maps in Minecraft. I'm having so much fun making little redstone puzzles, stories and hidden lore. Plus some pretty nice builds. (to pat myself on the back a bit)

I've booked 13 new projects already this year. When I say I book up fast, I mean it! If you're interested in working with me, fill out the form on my site asap, and we'll see if we're a good fit. (Yes, you can reach out before the book is done and ready.) I'm excited to hear about your story!

We are 3 weeks away from the release of The Dahlia & the Wizard! Let's make sure we've got everything. *Sarcastic alien? Check! *Complicated polycule? Check! *Adorable West Highland terrier? Check! *Dorian's gun? Check! ...Wait, Dorian's WHAT??? Pre-order here: mybook.to/datw

This offer is still available and will be until January 10th. Editing is what pays my bills, and I'm behind on rent, so it's important that I book people ASAP. You'll get an amazing edit at a great rate ($0.01/word), and I'll get to live somewhere, which I think is a beautiful exchange. LOL!

My incredible clients nominated me for a Lambda Literary Award in Editorial Excellence this year. Come work with me and find out why!

Omg No Man's Sky is so complicated. Damn game keeps adding more layers. I thought it was gonna be like here's a ship, fly around and explore and now it's I have a town and people I gotta keep happy?

Well I guess it was bound to happen. No Man's Sky has consumed me.

#LateNightWrite I skipped question 3 cause I kinda did it for question 2. So thanks Blackbird for another night of prompts. If you want to check out my debut novel The Crystal Rook bsky.app/profile/mell...

#LateNightWrite really making me work for it. But once I remembered the name there is one song. Loretta (FMC) has one goal: one more day. No matter the cost. To me the song is about begging for just a little bit more time. So it fits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nN3...

#LateNightWrite I don't really make playlists but there is certainly a genre or sometimes just a band that I will listen to while I work.

Hey #LateNightWrite I'm Melissa. I'm no good at talking about myself, but who is? I write, play games and collect cephalopod stuffies. My current WIP is a post-apoc adventure with a mechanic FMC (and her companion ferret name Sparkplug) who breaks a few people with a giant wrench.

Everyone should go buy trans books before I get disappeared for bringing up the Trust and Safety gooning incident.

Playing Nine Sols for the first time. It's kicking my butt.

Maybe instead of repackaged HP fanfic that keeps a genocidal transphobe relevant... You read a book about trans love and joy written by a trans author who actually cares about our community. Buttpirates.carrd.co

Well it took me 110 hours, but I finally got 100% completion in Silksong. (The achievement at least, there's still other achievements I can chase if I feel like it)

So I bet you're wondering how I got myself in this spot. Don't worry, I am too.

Omg the cutest thing in Silksong has babies, now it's extra cute!

This Silksong boss is making me take a break. Not because I'm mad. But because it's so high energy it's kinda overwhelming me. The dress, the music, the dance of a fight. It's awesome.

Omg double jump finally! Now Silksong opens up a lot more. Can't wait to talk openly about the game and not worry about spoilers. It's been such a great time so far. And no I don't think mentioning double jump is a spoiler, nearly every Metroidvania has one.

Oh no, it's HK's Delicate Flower but worse... Why Silksong? Why must you tempt me with this accomplishment?

So far I must say that [redacted] is my favourite Silksong boss.

Only been playing Silksong for a few hours and already found an exploit.

Ah, Silksong time.

There's a few more days to get in on this deal. If you're curious how this all works, here's some more info. At 1/2 off, you're paying $0.01/word, which is an absolute steal for an editor and formatter. If you book and pay the deposit before 9/1, I'll throw in the formatting for free (normally $50)!

There's still *LOADS* of time to take advantage of this deal. And you'll be supporting a disabled queer creative and getting a superb manuscript edit in exchange. And remember that I also offer formatting now, so you can get a package deal!

#LateNightWrite Thanks for hosting as always Blackbird. My debut novel, The Crystal Rook, is available for purchase. It's book one of a series, though has nothing to do with my current WIP (stand alone idea, you know how it is. You get ideas you just have to write). Link is in my pinned post.

#LateNightWrite MC Loretta wishes a lot of things. The biggest thing is she's torn between regretting ever standing up to her father—which caused her to lose almost everything she'd grown up to enjoy—and at the same time wishing she'd done it sooner.

#LateNightWrite Umm, well seeing as civilization has all but collapsed and it's thanks in part to a lot of the same issues our current world faces I really hope they can be prevented.

#LateNightWrite I wish I'd been told that it's always going to start out rough. Even downright awful in many cases. And that it's okay to suck at first. That the initial achievement isn't acclaim, it's seeing the task through until you are happy with it.

Hey #LateNightWrite. I'm Melissa. I do have a WIP though it's hard to call it in progress when it's been so long since I've worked on it. But I've been busy with other things and then there's ADHD to consider. The WIP is question is a post-apoc depressing but also (hopefully) cute and funny romp.

I should definitely also mention that my Patrons at the "Royals" tier or higher get early/special access to editing slots and can get short edits (up to 5k words) for free 👀 patreon.com/cknightwrites

For the rest of August, when you book an edit with me, you'll get 50% off the normal price! I have slots available from October to the end of 2025 and all of 2026. Get an incredible edit at a hell of a deal! DM me or email [email protected] to discuss the details of your manuscript!

It's been live for a bit now but thanks to ADHD and well... no that's about it, I didn't have a good way to advertise. But now I do. So with very little fanfare because who can afford that shit, my book 'The Crystal Rook' is published and available for purchase. Link and ad to follow.

When I was a kid I kept my hands and feet in bed while I slept for fear of monsters. Like so many others. As an adult I keep my hands and feet in bed for fear of my cat.

Being a queer creator these days is getting harder and harder. The Itchio BS means that I might lose a source of income, and I'm already struggling. If you or someone you know needs an editor, get in contact with me. And if you don't, repost and comment on this so it can get more traction.

The e-book and paperback of "The Crystal Rook" should be up in the next few days. I'm rather excited.

Always fun to read through a proof copy of my book and find errors that were missed by both the editor and myself numerous times. The joys of being a fallible human.

If all goes well "The Crystal Rook" should be available soon. I know I don't post as often as I should if I want to promote a book I want people to buy. But in the end my anti-social nature wins. And honestly I'll try my best to be happy with just knowing it's out there.

This Pride Month, you can support a disabled, neurodivergent queer trans person by hiring me to edit your manuscript! I'm looking to fill up my schedule for the second half of the year, and I would love to work on your project. DM me or email me at [email protected] today!

As soon as I heard about the Pokemon TCG mobile game I knew I should probably avoid it. Addicting as that stuff is. And now look at me, collecting all them shiny cards. Makes me miss my collection from childhood.

My schedule is *still* super open the second half of the year. And I'm struggling to come up with rent this month. I know everyone's having a hell of a time at the moment, but client work is what keeps my lights on and a roof over my head. Even if your manuscript isn't done yet, DM me today!

So what's a good platform to indie publish with Amazon off the table?

I wrote a book and hate marketing it, please enjoy 😭

I need to book clients for the 2nd half of the year. You need an amazing editor that'll lovingly whip your manuscript into shape. Together, we can do something beautiful. For a limited time, get 50% off your deposit. Message me here or email me at [email protected] today!

Doing a randomizer Elden Ring run and I think this guy took "coast guard" a bit to literally.

So we got good news today. All the legal shit that has been standing in our way for a while now is finally dealt with. Which means the wife and I can finally actually start planning for a wedding.

Here's the thing that people need to understand clearly. What they can do to one of us, they can do to all of us. There is no group, sect, or minority that is safe if the right to self determination and autonomy is conditional.
