For Nikkeah, it was the time he spent in the caster underworld/undercity. As a young person of privilege, it was eye-opening for him to personally witness the ongoing struggles of his caster kin.

A craftsperson loves craft. Writing is craft. The people who practice it are into the process. People using AI don't have the SOUL of a craftsperson. They want an end result to stick their name on, that's it.

Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that. Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Been a while since I shared a snip, so here's a dreamy little something from HALFSLEEPER rewrites, which I've been working on this week. ✨

Say hello to the nonfiction project I've been quietly working on for a year! 🔮 MORPHIC MYTHOS reflects my passion for the numinous, the witchy, & the profound. I write articles, essays, & reflections on a growing number of spiritual topics, all of which you can find here: patreon.com/morphicmythos

Jumping ship to other WIPs the moment I encounter a knot that I can't immediately untangle 🫠 Instead of allotting time to work through the problem, I convince myself the solution will magically manifest after enough time has passed. (sometimes it does, most times it doesn't.)

Finally got a chance to read & review @cara.ink's latest release, FAMILIAR! 🩸 I also couldn't help myself and ended up designing a tarot spread inspired by the book. 😎 Review & tarot spread can be found here: www.patreon.com/posts/famili...

Hello, my darlings! ✨ My platform is in the midst of a significant “rebrand,” so I wanted to take a few moments to explain what you can expect going forward from Ink & Incense. Details here: www.patreon.com/posts/ink-in...

New month, new book bundle! 📢 📚 From Nov. 1 to Nov. 15, you can snatch up the Trans People Take on the World book bundle. 32 books for a minimum of $35.00 (or a little extra, if you'd like to help out) you can support seeing the trans rep in books you want to see! itch.io/b/3352/trans...

With millions losing SNAP benefits tomorrow, I'm offering free books for donations to the Sacramento food bank. Donate $5, DM/email me the receipt, & get Love in the Liner Notes or Love at the Rock Show. Donate $10 & get both www.sacramentofoodbank.org 🧵 for list of other authors doing this 💙🌶️📚🌈✒️

Something I realized recently is that I'm so tired of fragmenting myself into separate identities based on the work I do & the things I create. I don't feel whole anymore, and I wonder if what I need is a "rebrand" of sorts focusing on myself as an individual & all the things I'm passionate about.

I know a lot of people are already spreading this info, but hoping to spread it a little further: donating to a food bank, food pantry, or food distribution mutual aid group is really important right now, as TFG and the fucking GOP are shutting down snap benefits on November 1. I'll link to a few

Sharing again for morning (for me at least) folks. I have a Halloween sale on my already out books. And since all of November will be devoted to promoting the novella prior to its debut, this will likely be the last time I spotlight these books for a while.

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.
