With Valentine's day coming up, you might be getting bombarded with love stories in all sorts of formats, so here's an itch bundle centred around Friendships instead! It's 37 books for $35 in a variety of genres: itch.io/b/3486/frien... It includes my own YA SFF "A Spark in Space" as well 😁

It just doesn't stop...

Do you like SFF that centers friendship or found family? It has them forming, tackling plot problems, or the main character making a new friend/ a friend helping a character's growth; this bundle is for you! It includes 13 #Fantasy 12 #SciFi's 10 #SFF and 2 #Horror itch.io/b/3486/frien... 💙📚📦

Me: nods slowly, trying not to look at the single line that references it...

Phew, okay, let's ease ourselves back into the social media pool. Anyone else feeling burnt out with this year?

SFF Readers, do you like stories which centre friendship, or where friendship groups tackle plot problems? To help you find them, I've organised this 37 book bundle. It's an even split of Fantasy, SciFi & SciFi-Fantasy, available till Feb 15! (Book blurbs in link 😉.) 🌈📚🪐📚💙 itch.io/b/3486/frien...

Not me saying "I'm fine" after the nurse in A&E asks me how I am

Okay. Outline for next book - done. First 4K words - done. Now just gotta keep on writing....

I just finished coding my first game 😊 It's just a simple, shitty, crude text-based dungeon crawler BUT!!! I did it myself. I came up with the idea and the functions I wanted to include, learned the basics of the language I needed, coded it myself and then tested it a million times to fix issues.

Now, more than ever, check out a novel from your public library, get yourself some snacks, and READ for pure joy. You deserve it.

Fae: “Tell me, kind lady. What bargain would you strike with me today?” Me: “I’ll trade you my soul if you’ll do all my book marketing.” Fae: “Oh, hells no. Fuck that shit. Do it yourself.” Me: 😭

Beautiful lil A'Tuin!! <3 <3 <3

Finished my first story of 2026. It's only 10k but hey! It's a story!

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Discord is trying to add new AI features to their platform. They're asking people to fill out a survey on how they feel about AI and what "value" it would add to their platform. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and tell them to fuck off with AI. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

In spite of a busted ankle, managed to finally do a photowalk again the other day ❤️ Mostly, I found birds, but they were super cute and I had a great time! I've missed this 😊

Those bingo cards for 2026 were not supposed to be a checklist but farfetched things that probably won't happen dang it 😭

And so I emerge from the holiday mines... Now *cracks knuckles* seeing as I managed to finish draft 1 of the most recent WIP just before leaving, which project should I tackle first...?

I'm sorry but why do we have fridges that show ads in the first place?? I actively don't want my fridge to connect to the wifi or Bluetooth or anything - it's a *fridge* On that note, please don't add WiFi to any of my appliances. I neither want nor need it.

Partner watches a reel. P: oh, this is like that one anime you liked. Me: ? P: the one where she was like a villainess in a school Me: that does not narrow it down P: she was reincarnated into the world? Me: that is like ... So many options. P: she was real powerful Me: ... Would you believe -

Woops, where did the time go? We're already nearing the end of the End-of-Year Indie Fantasy Mega Bundle - a chance to fill some cozy winter nights with an array of different worlds 😊 itch.io/b/3409/end-o... Who knows? You might just find your next favourite read. #indiebooks #fantasybooks

Me (to my newly wedded spouse): so. Christmas coming up. Them: Yeah? Me: Where are all my birds?

I have a book in this 👀👀👀 And there are SO many other amazing reads too!!

Between Amazon and McDonald's and a bunch of others, it feels good to see big companies being forced to see that a lot of us are not only not in favour of, but actively against AI slop.

I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE. Writing requires you to write. To feel. To think. To impart that. That is step one to Being a Writer.

The walls are white now! Next stop - repaint the ceiling and get new floors and then we can start to get this office running for real!!

Yesterday my mom suggested to me that I could use AI to translate my books so my family can read them. She may have been a bit surprised by the vehemence in my decline... I do not want AI to be associated with my books in any shape or form. Ever. They're mine!! >__< *Angry mamma bear growl*

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

Fun fact - if you live in Ireland, you can request to borrow a copy of my YA SFF adventure "A Spark in Space" from your local library! (Go to your library - seriously, they're awesome! As a side note - they also have home energy kits you can borrow)

I was today years old when I learned that I've probably always had anxiety but have been managing it through writing 😭 Which explains why my anxiety has consistently spiked in times when I didn't or couldn't write...

Getting my NCT is like going to a test I didn't study for

Had a family housewarming yesterday... Only for part of the family to arrive two hours before the agreed upon time without warning? Cue slightly stressed shower while thinking of all the thing I didn't get around to doing before they arrived...

Only a couple days left to snatch up the "Trans People Take on the World" bundle on Itchio. This bundle ends Nov. 15th. Support trans authors / representation and get yourself 32 books for only $35? Sounds like a win-win to me! 🌈📚 itch.io/b/3352/trans...

Can you guess where the wardrobe used to be?

Progress made on wardrobe disassembly today !

Happy samhain!

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? early 20s -> 31 I realized I was ace around 18/19, and came out shortly after. The Panromantic side of things has just sorta been floating alongside it - it didn't seem as relevant as the whole ace thing to most people
