Reposting for anyone who needs to hear it. I'm far away from perimenopause (I hope), but I know people who have used HRT and it SAVED THEM. It can also really help bone density as you get older which is SO IMPORTANT.

Attack! @soraya-udw.bsky.social's wolf, bullet! I loved drawing this guy for @artfight.net. He seems like a hilarious character. I've been reading #wolfsrain too, and I think you can see it's influence, lol #wolf #wolves #artfight2026 #teammystery #teamtragedy #wound #comiccharacter #art #artist

Hi #portfolioday I don't have any really big bombastic pieces to show atm but I do have commissions open and I do also accept art as payment actually

Enjoy some enby memes 💛🤍💜🖤

This is entirely accurate to our roommate relationship. Sometimes though, I'm the crazy one screaming about carnitas.

Just posted a substack about mistakes! This one is about something pretty personal that I've been hesitant to talk about, but it needed to be done. hlschiff.substack.com/p/the-power-...

Substack going out tomorrow! Subscribe if you want to read long rambles about my thoughts on the writing world! I will eventually be talking about my work! substack.com/@hlschiff #substack #writing #newsletter #fantasywriter #CRPFantasyFoxes

Finished drafting my 26th novel yesterday (with some minor edits this morning 🤫). It's a queer, feminist, gender swapped, literary fantasy Moses retelling that has been floating around my mind for a while. So excited to revise this baby! #moodboard #firstdraft #literaryfantasy #amquerying

Me: "I need a title for my WIP." @chikasaurus-x.bsky.social: "Fish Sticks and Caviar." Friends, there are no fish in this book 😂

5/6 things you will probably find in my books: - Political and religious critique - Queer characters - Found family - Complicated relationships with parents - Positive femininity - Finding yourself after trauma What about you?

If you don’t think lesbians being under represented and sidelined during pride month is lesbophobic unfollow me right fucking now. I am a lesbian. I don’t want people who don’t support me following this account. Im a proud ass dyke and my flag is just as important as the others

Why am I being called out like this?

Second substack post is going out on Saturday! Subscribe here if you want to take a read! substack.com/@hlschiff

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline

i have been fortunate enough to live a life in the arts, creating things and following hallowed footsteps. its something many buckaroos dream of, and as someone who has done it, THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS i received are the moments in between. if you generate with AI, THAT is what you rob yourself of

I have moved. Life is stressful still. Might actually start writing again though. Sorry I missed the end of #CampRevPit! It was a lot of fun!

Moving today! How is it already May??? I feel like I just decided to move yesterday! No writing for me the next few days.

BIG 5 EDITOR INTEREST🙀 PIRANESI x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN A murdered cat becomes a human and tries to ascend to godhood for revenge. But in limbo, rage isn't enough to survive. 🔪Revenge plot 🐈‍⬛Unreliable Cat POV ☠️Body horror #Questpit #A #F #H #DF #LF #W #DIS #POC

Rhett doesn't want to give the new office worker a tour. She seems dull and uninterested in him or the magical history he teaches to kids. At least, not until she reveals that she's from a world with no magic, has no memory, and needs his help to get home. #QuestPit #W #A #F #R

#CRPFantasyFoxes omg okay so I'd love to visit my entire world. I've spent so much time building it, working on it, and trying to make it feel real. But if I had to choose one place, I would choose the valley where the climax takes place. It's high up in the mountains at a glacier lake.

#CampTrivia #CRPFantasyFoxes 1. I came up with the idea when I was in high school 2. No one has read the entire series 3. It's the hardest book I've ever written

🤣 I got Comedy: Shy woman with little life experience goes on a wacky roadtrip with two unexpected companions to find a dragon elder who has something important to teach her about the meaning of life. With many jokes. And hilarious moments. And no trauma or depression at all! #CRPFantasyFoxes

#CRPFantasyFoxes Uhhh I like to knit and crochet? Is that a hobby or an addiction? 😂 As for my MC, she doesn't really have hobbies, but she weaves blankets to make money for her and her father.

Dialogue exchange between two tense characters: “I didn’t find it funny.” “You weren’t supposed to.” “Your *friend* wrote you a letter.” “Where is it?” A pause. “Aren’t you going to thank me?” “I wouldn’t thank a dog that fetched me a goose. Why would I thank you?” #CRPFantasyFoxes #DialogueDrop

#CRPFantasyFoxes This was such an interesting exercise! I have no idea how my balance is, but I have a lot more description than I thought! A lot of the interiority in the first chapter is backstory, so I wasn't sure for those two which to do when!

#CRPFantasyFoxes Ummm for anyone who wants a slow burn romance that takes multiple books to come to light? Or loves an awkward golden retriever best friend who asks too many questions? Oooh I know, my audience is for anyone who wants to scream at me for how I decided to end the book 🥰 Perfection

I'm moving in a week and a half. I already packed up like 9 boxes of books in Colorado. I told myself I wouldn't buy books while I was in LA so I wouldn't have to move them. I failed miserably. Not pictured: my manga collection 😂 Special guests: @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social @klemc.bsky.social

Sooo not one line, but: Her body ached. Her ankle throbbed. Her magic was useless. She couldn’t do anything to save herself from the execution. And yet her hope crackled back to life. #OneLineMC #CampRevPIt #CRPFantasyFoxes

#CRPFantasyFoxes The small, human moments between characters! They get passed by often, but they add SO much development and depth to the characters and make them feel real. My favorite in my WIP is that the MC hates nuts and the other character finds this baffling.

#CRPFantasyFoxes love this prompt! I'm looking for some new CPs and to practice sharing my work again. I used to be so much better at it, and now I'm anxious after a really negative group I was in. Looking forward to seeing what else's goals are!

Hi all! I'm Lin, I'm a marketer and I love to write fantasy of all sorts! Last year I wrote a series that I'm hoping to get published about dragons, religious trauma, cultural exchange/the beauty of culture, and love. Looking forward to getting to know everyone! #CampKickOff #CampRevPit

Really excited for #camprevpit to start! I didn't participate in the contest this year, but I've participated many times in the past and love the community!

I have a substack now. Does this mean I have to be more active on social media? 😂

Apparently there's a bluesky galaxy. My BIL showed it to me and it's fascinating!
