Little Bird starts with a sort of monologue. I did this because I wanted to help ease readers into the mind of the protagonist and narrator as well as get them accustom to the story's slower pace. #SummerofStories #WrittingCommunity #indie

Finished ‘Little Bird’ by @elhark.bsky.social Beautiful exploration of grief, loss and the pressures of living up to others expectations. Detailed magic system and worldbuilding, subtle foreshadowing, a complicated crew of characters and a celebration of the lovely Welsh language.

Play Tiny Terra Spaces demo & build your cosy island community on Arran! I am hard at work on final demo updates which will release soon so stay tune! Wishlist Tiny Terra Spaces on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3788070/... Thank you! #cosygame #indiegame #wishlistwednesday

this detective game I consulted on goes really deep on Irish history and I love the atmosphere and journey - good for a spooky St Patrick’s Day adventure

Had a wonderful time at #HelloWorld in Glasgow today meeting other game devs and creatives. I can’t wait to see what the industry grows into. Thanks for putting it on @scottishgames.bsky.social

Making a cosy island builder, inspired by the beauty of Scotland. It also has Serious Game aspects where you learn a little about Scottish history while you build a cosy place. Try Tiny Terra Spaces demo & wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3788070/... #marketingMonday #indiegame #cosygame

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

What an amazing night at @typewronger.bsky.social for the first ever bookshop all nighter in the UK! Be sure to check them out when next in Edinburgh and help keep their lights on!

A glimpse into the joy and madness of trying to do everything myself. #writtingcommunity #writesky #indie #indiewriter

Ever wanted to know about the process of designing a book? @elhark.bsky.social has you covered, as we at superforest prepare to publish Little Bird! #booksky #indie #indiepublishing #publishing #superforest #elhark #littlebird #sibylwylt #books #design #writesky #writecommunity

Getting to actually hold my book was an incredible experience. Can't wait to actually get it out into the world. #writtingcommunity #writesky

Magic has both physical and mental limitations. Individuals only have so much magic and once it's spent they have to wait for it recover. Burn through your magic too often and your body suffers. Beyond that it's mostly a question of skill and practise. #writtingcommunity #writesky

I have a University of Arcane Studies with degrees that similar to Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorates. The Mage degree is my magical PhD and requires an understanding of all the Arcane arts and demonstration of mastery of one of them. The demonstration very much depends on what you're studying

Writing it just wasn’t enough for @elhark.bsky.social. Little Bird is now very real and in our hands. Hopefully it will be in your hands someday soon too. #littlebird #sibylwylt #elhark #indiewriter #indiepublisher #indie #booksky #diy #superforest

I use magic sparingly in my story so there aren't a lot of impressive examples of magic. This is probably the closest thing I have. #writingcommunity #writesky #Febchantment

There is a baseline genetic factor to my magic system. You have be born with magic, and a certain type of magic, to be able to use it. Beyond that it is all a matter of education. #writingcommunity #writesky

So proud of our city right now.

Writing is easy…editing…ooph. But probably the most important step on the way to publishing, right @elhark.bsky.social? #littlebird #superforest #elhark #booksky #writing #publishing #indieauthor #editing

I use a mixture of 'hard' and 'soft' magic atm. My goal is to have set rules about what is possible (and when it is possible) and then to be more vibes based on exactly how the magic is depicted. Sort of like describing your character's actions in an TTRPG after a dice roll. #writingcommunity

Preparing to publish @elhark.bsky.social? Let's go! #superforest #littelbird #sibylwylt #publishing #booksky #selfpublishing #amwriting #Writingcommunity #writers #writesky

Happy New Year from @elhark.bsky.social! #indieauthor #selfpublishing #superforest #elhark #littlebird #youngraven #booksky #writing #publishing #superforest

Day 18 of #Writevember. I have no idea how many words I've written, but I'm probably not getting 30,00 by the end of the month. On the bright side I'm still writing the manuscript, little by little. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Excited to announce we have been accepted into the Levelling-Up programme run by Game Space, hosted by @sgmilne.bsky.social! Keep an eye out for more updates soon! #superforest #gamespace #indiedev #gamedev

Best laid plans…but we keep at it, right @elhark.bsky.social? #writevember #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #indie #elhark #superforest #youngraven

A micro devlog for you, sharing early work on our current project #thewalkingdude

I write for myself, but try to keep a balance between the stories that I find enjoyable to tell and the stories I wish I'd read when I was younger. #WritingPrompt
