Cramped in a Tent With My Love Interest, Her Octopus, and My Hundreds of Bees #BookBazaar25 #sapphic #IndieAuthor #booksky

Today's writing goal: finish Vivian's heart-to-dorsal-hearts conversation with her swarm of bees. It's a convo that needs to happen, but having all those little eyes focused on her sure does amp up the pressure. #IndieAuthor #amwriting #queerauthors #sapphic

New life hack: use fairy dust to power yourself through the horrors (you know the ones) You can get some hot off the press right here 😉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #BookBazaar25 #Booksky #IndieAuthor

Lots of Niranjan's books are also currently available as rewards for the crowdfunding campaign for Jaya! It's a low fantasy retelling of the Mahabharata, with all four books now available in one big, beautiful omnibus: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s... #IndieAuthor #BookBazaar25 #Booksky

Almost to the end of these! This section of GULA is the only part that's ever seen prior publication -- AUGURY was printed on its own in Zoetic Press last year, but was always part of a group of four. Two others of those four have now been replaced/rewritten, but those four poems are the oldest-

@wctracy.bsky.social and some of the authors from Space Wizard Science Fantasy are live now on r/Fantasy with an AMA about small presses, TBB, editing, and more! Stop in, give an updoot, ask a question! #AmWriting #Writer #SmallPress #IndieAuthor #Booksky

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers: NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints. and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Today’s Honeycomb Heart progress: worked on moving Vivian and Frieda’s first kiss to a different chapter. #sapphic #romantasy #BookBazaar25 #IndieAuthor Vivian right after leaning in for a kiss: oh no should I have done that did she want that what if she doesn’t oh no oh no Frieda:

I’ve got my eyes on Mothball Magic, love the idea of a bunch of old folks coming out of retirement to kick ass. Big “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” energy. Hoping for some fantasy flavored grudges that go back DECADES. #BookBazaar25 #Booksky #IndieAuthor #fantasy

For my #BookBazaar25 project, HONEYCOMB HEART, I wanted to create a set of polaroid-style miniature prints... soft little scenes to match the gentle #sapphic #romantasy, animal-themed vibe. So I made the originals literally soft, with felt and embroidery floss! #IndieAuthor #booksky

Honeycomb Heart launches in just a couple weeks as part of #BookBazaar25! I just finished line edits for my debut novel Graft, so now it's bee time 😈 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #TBBChat #writesky

I have some lovely friends who I talk through ideas I'm unsure about with. They're great at asking developmental questions, but part of why we're friends is our similar tastes, so usually I say an idea I think might be *too far out there* and they're like um do it??? #TBBChat #writesky #queerwriters

I often write SFF action scenes and monsters, but character relationships are always a major focus for me. So I end up asking, what traits would make it hard for people from these two groups to get along? How could they get past that? What hindrance could become helpful? #TBBChat #writesky

Probably Antelope Canyon. It's a culturally significant place for the Navajo people and absolutely gorgeous. Even if you aren't part of that demographic, just standing in it and admiring the brilliant colors of the canyon, you FEEL that there's something special about it #TBBChat #Writesky

I have enough ideas that I require myself to have a semi-solid outline for them before I'm allowed to start drafting. It helps satisfy the Shiny New Idea Syndrome without completely sidetracking me. Plus I love getting out my tarot cards for developmental journaling! #TBBChat #Writesky #queerwriters

Ella has sensory processing issues, and Veras is extremely fixated on cleanliness, so I don't think they would get very far 😂. Anything messier than a slice of bread would be too much for them - E doesn't want to be stuck smelling like whatever hits her, and V doesn't want ants #TBBChat #writesky
