The difficulty for me is finding the art I haven’t already oversaturated my bluesky with! Here are a few character drawings I’ve done for Stolen Magic, more info in the alt text. #RevPitWaiting

One of my beta readers, the amazing and multi-talented @erinabecca.bsky.social, made these super cool portraits of my characters from my #RevPit novel, Anti-Charter Campaign. Check out Britt, Catherine, Susanne, and Angelo ❤️ It was so much fun to see them through her eyes! #RevPitWaiting

I do most of my writing at my day job, and I can’t share a picture of my desk there, but occasionally I do some writing at home with feline assistance. The cat is named Muppet and he was born under the back steps of my old house. He will be 19 in September. #RevPitWaiting

I said in my writing group today: Writing is hard and frustrating and sometimes it makes me hate myself but I will be COLD AND DEAD IN MY GRAVE before I use AI to do it for me.

Had a good fit for #WIPSnips today, here it is. (TW for a mention of a power imbalanced relationship involving a 16yo.)

Hope this snippet and accompanying illustration from Stolen Magic is a little bit amusing. #RevPitWaiting

My WIP is Divine Vessels (working title). It’s about a woman who has the god of music dwelling within her. She discovers her husband is alive and imprisoned in an underground labyrinth, sets out to rescue him, and becomes embroiled in a rebellion against the kings of gods and men. #RevPitWaiting

Pets, eh, #RevPitWaiting? I have a few furry pets, two scaly pets and three slimy pets. The cats are Milo, Muppet and Jade (not pictured); bearded dragon is Hattie; leopard gecko is Link; and the firebelly toads are named Teeny, Nozomi, and Bella.

I associate this song with one of my favorite scenes in the book. If there were ever a movie of the book, this would be on the soundtrack. youtu.be/7l8aDcG8Bqk?... Kishi Bashi - Colorful State

Was hard to choose, but I decided to go with a quote from the villain that sums up the ideology Vreta stands in opposition to: the idea that some people are superior to others by virtue of their birth and therefore entitled to decide the fate of everyone else.

I have to credit the marvelous @trutherford.bsky.social for my mood board, but I also draw my own illustrations for my books! I’m working on a drawing of Ravin (the MMC) that I hope to have done today. #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

Hi, wannabe author Erina (online)/Rebecca (real life) here. I draw, sew, and crochet, and I have cats, frogs, and lizards for pets.

I write fantasy, YA and adult. I wrote my first manuscript circa 1994 at the age of 12 but you’d have to be really generous to call it a book. Started seriously working towards publishing in 2019, after I was diagnosed with ADHD. I also draw pictures. Here’s a scene from my #RevPit entry.

Work in progress. My kid is a big Digital Circus fan and asked me to draw a picture for her. #tadc

Drew this picture of the MCs of the book I’m working on. My 10yo daughter saw it and called me a “creep” because I drew a man without a shirt.

My daughter requested “furry” macaroni and cheese for dinner. Apparently the breadcrumbs on top make it furry, and I will never look at baked mac & cheese the same way again.

I redrew a picture of the main couple from the novel I’m working on, changing the characters’ style to reflect the ancient setting of the book. I looked all over for the original picture from 2021 to see how much I have improved (or not) since then but I couldn’t find it.

Realized that I technically have the word “airport” in a fantasy regency setting where airplanes don’t exist… It just has an “F” on the front. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

18-year-old Vreta isn’t sure where she belongs in the world. But when she sets out to restore the stolen memories of her beloved’s sister, she must learn to accept, value and trust herself—or risk losing her own identity to a ruthless duchess. #BluePit #Q #YA #F #ND

Meet the characters from ANTI-CHARTER CAMPAIGN These four must band together to defeat the monsters in D&D and to save their school from a charter takeover in a speculative fiction that's Jumanji X Abbott Elementary. Querying Soon 📆 #BluePit #BluePit📖 #A #W #F

Vreta is afraid of her psychic powers— specifically, she is afraid she will misuse them. People with the same sort of mind-reading, memory-altering powers she possesses tend to be the villain of the story, and she fears she is doomed to go down the same path.

My current favorite illustration I’ve done for my completed novel, Stolen Magic, and an illustration for my WIP, which I am calling “Beneath the Valley” until I think of a better title #BluePitHype #WriteSky #AmQuerying #BluePit

Birthday card design I drew for my daughter. She requested a picture of “a unicorn and a cute fish.”

I already shared this on Instagram, but I haven’t put any of my recent artwork on Bluesky lately! This character is Oryna, the human vessel of Coria, goddess of love in my ancient-history/mythology inspired WIP. www.instagram.com/p/DSYU6uJAAI...

I tried to capture what it is like to look at your drawing and only see what’s wrong with it, the things you don’t have the skills and experience yet to fix.

HADESTOWN x HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS All Kasetris wanted was to keep her adopted daughter safe—until she discovers her missing husband is alive and imprisoned. Now she must venture into a dangerous underground labyrinth to save him, but at least she has one god on her side. #WIPPIT #A #F

Trying an experiment! I am now offering commissions of chibi character artwork through ko-fi. Please check it out! ko-fi.com/erinabecca/c...

The relationship between Kasetris and her missing husband and how they rebuild that relationship after they are reunited drives the main plot of the book, but Kasetris’s relationship with Atzana, the girl she’s been raising for several years, is also complicated and important.

There is an olm that serves as a guide for my characters in the underground cave system they are exploring.

My kid and I were trying to understand why AI-generated media appeals to anyone and I wonder if it has to do with a lack of empathy. If other people and their experiences are meaningless to you, it doesn’t matter whether something comes from a human or is generated by an algorithm.

Drew a picture of my 9yo daughter (because she asked me to!) and this was her response. I am devastated. I am using her drawing of me as my portrait on this app!

Hi, I am looking for a critique partner for my ancient history/mythology-inspired fantasy novel. It’s about a woman who discovers her missing husband is alive and imprisoned in an underground cave system, and sets out to rescue him. Would love to work with another fantasy author. #FiFRevPit

At the same time I am pleased and proud to look at my drawing and I despair at how far I have to go as an artist before I can actually make the picture on the page match the vision I wish I could create. I do really like her jacket, though.

#MockPit #FiFRevPit STOLEN MAGIC To free a girl who’s lost her memories to a ruthless duchess, Vreta must reveal her deepest secret: her mind magic. But she risks losing the trust of the man she’s come to love—and losing her identity to the duchess’s power.

FRIEREN x HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS When Kasetris discovers her husband is alive, she leaves her life as a pampered prisoner in the Court of Gods to rescue him from an underground labyrinth. But freeing him means rekindling a rebellion—and they already lost the first round. #QuestPit #W #A #F #RF

I’ve been drawing again! Here is Kasetris, the MC of my current WIP. I know I’ve got room for improvement, both as an artist and as a user of Clip Studio Paint, but I don’t hate it.

My kid used my sewing scissors to cut wrapping paper and I am this close to picking him up early from the birthday party and dragging him out by the ear.

Just a frog I drew.

My 14yo just told me, “I like building Gundams. That makes me a Zeta Male.”

What about those of us who can’t be bothered to read an article or watch a video but want to have everything spoken aloud to us in podcast format while multitasking? Is it because I’m an Xennial?

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

I tried to crochet some cat beds to donate to a shelter. I made 3 but my cats have decided I am not allowed to donate this one…

Okay, So Pope Leo XIV *has to* walk out to Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project on his first visit to the States. Right? THIS MUST HAPPEN RIGHT??

The implication is that “YOUR”kids will have to make do with less, right? “My” kids will still get everything their hearts desire. “YOUR” kids will probably be too busy working in the factories to have time for dolls, anyway.
