Writing Tip: There's a reason why Sherlock Holmes explains his deductions to Watson. If he didn't, we might assume that the writer is just making up deductions out of thin air. If you plan on making a super smart character, you still have to show your work. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

Started reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries last night and I’m getting a really good cozy, winter fantasy vibe so far. #Booksky #AmReading #Books

Every reader needs a high tower, quiet grove, or hidden corner where the world falls away and stories come alive. #Booksky

Crystalized magic concept — part of my fantasy world in progress #Booksky #Art

It's #NationalMushroomDay and Halloween season so I gotta repost this. One of my favorite things I ever drew. #art

Can’t believe this is unpopular opinion, but the twist at the end shouldn’t be announced before you read it. A gut punch is more surprising and hits harder when you don’t announce it first. Let readers be blindsided by the plot twist—I beg you. #Booksky

Spooky house sketch #art #illustration

Hang on as best you can. Take care of yourself. Take care of others if you're able. Sharpen your antlers, put on your best traveling cloak, disappear into the forest, and find other creatures like yourself gathering together in the gloom.

You folks are so good to me

Turned my sketch of a lioness into a dragon. #art #wip #drawing

THE WITCHING TREE (2019) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6" x 6" An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games. 1/2

Happy #StarTrekDay Here’s a marker drawing I did for my husband last Christmas with his ship from a ST writing group. #drawing #StarTrek #art

The Flower Prince #sketchbook #jlmart

Just finished Mistborn book 1. So many people raved about it that I worried it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype, but it did. It’s one of those rare books that makes you wonder why you waited so long to read it in the first place. 🪐📚💙 #Sanderson #BookSky

Elijah, a vampire from my 1927 VTM game

Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day… Let’s start the week with something good, shall we?

“The Ring remained hidden in the riverbed for almost two and a half millennia.” 🪐📚💙 #BookSky #Illustration #Art #TheLordOfTheRings

Of all my work, this little 3x4 piece tucked away in a journal is probably my most prized possession. A drawing of myself having compassion for a young me; to be the person I wish I had back then when I wanted to end it all. To be better than the cycle. 🌈#Pride

Little Sparks ✨️

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

Listening to my son read a book for the first time, I thought, “it’s not what you read. It’s who you share it with.” #BookSky 💙📚

#Authors I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please don’t give up! Even genre-defining writers got rejected. Frank Herbert’s Dune got rejected 23 times. The 1 company that finally took a chance was an auto repair manual publisher. Find those who support you, even in the most unlikely places.💙📚
