I've got so much to do, and I've taken too many days off. If you need a co-working buddy, I'm over on Twitch checking things off of my list and (hopefully) getting another chapter done.

Maybel, who makes her appearance in Part 2 of Bound By Thorns, is pansexual, and she's very open about it when she meets Avisarah and the Glimmerbourne residents. #QueerPrompts

There are three factions of fey in Pilonia, the Daccians (balance), Macerai (give), and Vertrun (take). Avisarah is the Daccian steward of the region she lives in. #QueerPrompts

Avisarah would make a great head librarian at a massive historical library. The place would be silent, the books would be well guarded, and she would be stern but kind with everyone. Intimidating, but soft if someone asks about her favourite topic. #QueerPrompts

One of the themes I've tried exploring with Bound By Thorns is identity. Avisarah spends a lot of the book figuring out who she is, what that means for her, and how that affects grief, love, family, and survival. #QueerPrompts

Since starting the first 10 chapters and refining them, I've added and removed a few characters. The one that's getting the most air time right now is a character named Faraday. I thought she was a one-and-done mention, but she keeps coming back for more. #QueerPrompts

The biggest change for a character is probably how much Theonidas Jorts has grown from something created to drive plot, to someone who has their own POV, subplot, and happy ending. The name comes from a member of my Twitch community, and he's one of my favourites to write. #QueerPrompts

Dear body: Could you wait to be a jerk until I don’t have a to do list that’s as long as I am tall? I realize that’s almost always, but if I could just have a chance to get ahead of things, we’d be able to relax more. Kthxbai #SpoonieLife #Spoonie

Never make yourself small to let others shine. Don’t set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody. You can’t help people who aren’t ready to help themselves. All you can do is be there to catch them if they fall. #QueerPrompts

Are you in need of a body double to get some work done? I'm running some work sprints, playing some bardcore, and picking away at my to do list. twitch.tv/nixflare #AmWriting #BodyDoubling #CoWorking #SmallStreamer

The scene that launches into part 2: 😍💍 😑🙅‍♀️ 🙏 😠🙄 🫢 🤨👎 💢🟩☠️🏘️ 💔 #QueerPrompts

Avisarah is respectful to higher ranking elders. She understands her future role, so there's also a bit of entitlement sprinkled in. Once she's the one in charge, the people she once spoke to with respect have to answer to her. She still looks up to them in private. #QueerPrompts

Avisarah could do with a few read throughs of When You're Ready, This is How You Heal by Brianna Wiest #QueerPrompts

One of my readers suggested using dialogue to help with introducing worldbuilding, which changed the game for me. It changed the first chapter, and it added missing depth to the relationship between two characters. #QueerPrompts

Avisarah's uncle, Theonidas, and her head of staff, Gayle, are the voice of reason, and try to guide Avisarah to make good choices. They're successful *most* of the time. #QueerPrompts

At first, Avisarah doesn't think too much about what she's doing. After the end of Part 1, she needs her trusted family and friends to remind her to take that first step. #QueerPrompts

Our intro thread has been going around again, but we've been busy since March... so, it's time for a new pinned thread! We are OTHERSIDE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit magazine of speculative fiction and poetry by 2SLGBTQIA+ writers! We open for submissions in January 2026. See thread for more! 🪐🗡️🌈 (1/5)

At the end of Part 1, Avisarah has to decide whether she goes against everything she's fought for to give her people an easier life, or stand her ground and face the consequences. This triggers a series of painful events and even more challenging choices as the story progresses. #QueerPrompts

I'm a little late starting this, so I'm going to catch up! I'm Phoenyx, & I'm working on a serial sapphic fantasy novel called Bound By Thorns. It's inspired by Beauty & the Beast, follows the "Beast" character, & starts releasing when I have a small buffer of chapters under my belt. #QueerPrompts

On August 31, 2015, I married my best friend and high school sweetheart while in Las Vegas to celebrate finishing my undergrad degree. The only people we told were my parents, and that was because my mom wanted to buy my wedding dress ever since I was a little kid.

🌈 Hi #QueerWriters! #QueerPrompts is your chance to talk about your WIP/story/book, meet other queer authors, and have fun! 🏳️‍🌈 📚 While focussed on queer fiction, any writers are welcome to use these prompts! Include the tag #QueerPrompts and join at any time and on any days you want. 📖

Pack a box. Up two sets of stairs. Unpack a box. Down two sets of stairs. Repeat. This is my life until Monday, with some puppy training, car repairs, food, and sleep sprinkled in. Of course this is all happening during a week where all I want to do is be outside. xD

The main thing I learned is that in order to write a book, you have to write a book and there's nothing that's going to prepare you for writing a book until you write a book so you should write a book

I'm putting this gently out there: does anyone know a sensitivity reader who might want to work with representations of indigenous peoples of the Amazon, 1900-ish? TIA!

Bound By Thorns is a sapphic fantasy inspired by Beauty & the Beast. I’ll be releasing it chapter by chapter in the coming future.

I spent a part of this morning packing up the art room and hunting for materials for the new office setup. Now it's time to start writing and editing more of Project Rose. Let's see if I can get a chapter done this week. #AmWriting

It's comin'... Details here: newedgeswordandsorcery.com/submissions/

Here we are at #WIPWednesday ❤️ What are we all working on? Tell us about it! Absolutely shameless selfplug and neurospicy infodumping are encouraged! We wanna know everything :3 #writingcommunity #artfight #GoT #ToT #litgames

"The Lunchroom" is definitely horror, but all of the action is viewed from the perspective of the unfeeling, procedural kitchen. Remember: Humans do not belong in the recycler. Find this story, and more, in Anthropods: books2read.com/anthropods

If you are looking for a body double and community to hang out with, I'm live on Twitch working on Project Rose. Plot spreadsheet, chapter edits, and worldbuilding are all on the goal list for the day! #WritingCommunity #ADHDAuthors #AmWriting

I nerded out with a “bug guy” who was telling me about blister beetles today. He emailed me a site to learn about them so I can come up with a horrifying monster. Rad!

Today is National Day of Rock 'n' Roll! I'm always on the hunt for new music. Could you share your favourite rock songs? My current go to song is Dominate by Three Days Grace. I'm so excited to see them release new songs.

How many words will I get done between the distractions and puppy chaos? I'm writing while live on Twitch, so let's find out! Current WIP: Project Rose

I started a supporter page and use for my ending screen on Twitch. I wanted to share the June 2025 graphic here, too, and appreciate all the wonderful humans who helped make the stream what it is. 💗 (reposted because I edited the phrasing a bit)

I'm planning the week, working on the recolour of the logo & branding, and plotting the future of Project Rose today. Oh, and doing some adulting, too. I'd love the company if you need a body double.

Over on my Discord server, we've just started a Word Prompt of the Week channel. If you want to participate, you're welcome to join us. Or talk about it here. All words are good words! #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #StoryPrompts #AmWriting #TwitchAuthors discord.gg/6QydTH6pme

Continuing with @thegentlefae.bsky.social’s trend of appreciation: Thank you for the raids, @jprindfleisch.bsky.social and @cosmicaity.bsky.social!! It was a productive day, and I appreciate the company. I shared the love with @kristawalshauthor.bsky.social. Have a good one, friends!

Thank you for the raids, @thegentlefae.bsky.social and @aldus-ken.bsky.social. Today was chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I passed the love on to @katschaoscafe.bsky.social before running outside to get some sunshine. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.

It's the start of my week, my husband is home, and I have so much work to do. If you want to body double, I'd love to say hello! [40/10 work sprints] Topic of the Day: Which historical figure would you have dinner with?

In the first pic, Willow Wisp, aka Madame Lampshade, is VERY unhappy with me right now. The floof in the second pic was my soul dog, who I miss every day. It’s weird fitting Willow in Rylee’s old things, but it’s also kind of nice to remember my old girl’s antics.

Off to a full day book event today for any Ottawa folks in the Orleans area. The Orleans Comic Book and Novelty Show (located at Place) runs from 11-5 with so many cool vendors (and me!)

Co-working, writing, vibing, and thriving today. Bardcore, 40 min work sprints, and a cat onesie. twitch.tv/nixflare

#Ao3 #OriginalFic Morgue died. A knife to her heart. She feels the phantom blade. Death has taken a liking to her. Time was rewound to prevent her death. Maybe even meet her soulmate, who may or may not have caused her death... Link: archiveofourown.org/works/657937...
