Arthur's name is Arthur because that's his name

Arthur loves clocks and romance novels ❤️

I used to bc I only ever had one idea at a time and would work on it until it was done, but now I have a document called "story ideas" that I add to periodically, so. no

loved loved loved watching this storm out at sea

who wants to go on a treasure hunt in which we find a cool moth and a petrified orange? we're passing St Augustine!

everyone yell BORTLLLLLLESSSSS as we pass Jacksonville (easily one of the top ten swamp cities in Northeast Florida)

#LateNightWrite Nothing published yet. But check out @anotherindiewriter.com , @lianabrooks.bsky.social , and @elizmanderson.com ! They're all awesome writers!

is it even a road trip if you're not jamming out to the classics*? *The Saga Begins by @alyankovic.bsky.social

I love clueless dummies to lovers (for romance) and found family with platonic ILYs (for platonic)

If this is how this plays out, then as far as I can tell, they fucked up and got nothing for it. They resisted sending out funds so hard they made the news as bad guys for a week---even on Fox---and then lost anyway. If the plan was to create unrest through hunger, they didn't even get that.

....for now MarthaWIP is a little ??? since like. THE LORD OF THE WOOD was supposed to be cozy fantasy but I tripped and stumbled into cozy horror, so we'll see how MarthaWIP turns out 😅 #MelsNoWriMo

we're going ghost again 😌 but could this ghost possibly have some sort of connection to Martha's eldritch trash possum ex?? #MelsNoWriMo

Zenith, Martha's ???-year-old nonbinary ex who's definitely some sort of eldritch creature even though officially they've never told Martha that. trash possum who loves human TV shows, especially Columbo #MelsNoWriMo

Martha, a grumpy 60yo lesbian who can see ghosts and eldritch creatures but frankly doesn't want to anymore (but sometimes has to because they keep making a nuisance of themselves) #MelsNoWriMo

OOPS I'M SO BEHIND on both #MelsNoWriMo and actually writing lol ANYWAY MarthaWIP: a grumpy 60yo lesbian who can communicate with ghosts no longer uses her powers after her eldritch ex broke her heart 25 years ago, but when her ex reappears they must work together to stop increased hauntings

we're leaving for a family vacation on Saturday and in the meantime I'm finally over my sinus infection and my muscle pain is finally mostly gone, so 😅 the outlook seems automatically easier lmfao #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

people getting hype about MarthaWIP from my brief descriptions, actually, like it was unexpected and also it's helping me keep determined to work on MarthaWIP this month even if I haven't done it yet #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

...yes I'm struggling with having rewritten the same book for the past year and having not had a break between edits and drafting something new on account of that sinus infection #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

....... *kicks manuscript under the bed before u see it* #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

OH RIGHT IT'S THURSDAY anyway I'm E (she/they) aaaaaaand I have yet to do any work on MarthaWIP after the very brief impromptu start I got in July lol but I've been THINKING about MarthaWIP tonight so surely that counts?? #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

ancient forests, obvi

#FirstDraftFall I’m always reading cool things! I recently finished The Keeper of Lonely Spirits by @elizmanderson.com and loved it! I’m currently reading Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by @authordjmunden.bsky.social !

looked up NYC's mayoral race results this morning even before I bothered looking at my own state's election results and I'm gonna cry 😭 it's been such a long hard year and I know everything is still a massive uphill battle but Mamdani winning NYC's mayoral race just gives me so much hope

playing with the Copic markers now that I have marker paper (wow what a difference that makes to blending lol), so here's Maurice the horse from THE LORD OF THE WOOD

AI Industry right now:

Ira is slowly becoming a beast throughout the story but if you asked HIM it's mostly that sometimes the forest takes over him and turns him into a weapon and there's nothing he can do about it

...well I would've started my draft had I not been madly finishing edits past deadline due to getting sick 😅 everyone who wants MarthaWIP and the eldritch trash possum LI please yell at me, I fear another WIP is threatening to take me over #FirstDraftFall

ayyyyyyyyyy edits are OFFICIALLY DONE I mean not copy edits or proofs or anything BUT THE BIG JOB IS DONE AT LONG LAST after this book kicked my ass for a SOLID YEAR anyway as a reward pretty please give me numbers if you want?

Wow and the fact that they had the *audacity* to post that they received an award for freedom of speech today is disgusting.

You know what makes the daylight savings time > standard time drag a whole lot better? Books featuring trans characters making their way in the world. Guess what? There's a specific itchio bundle for that. Check out the Trans People Take on the World bundle until Nov. 15 📚💙 itch.io/b/3352/trans...

delighted to announce I use more parentheticals in THE LORD OF THE WOOD, which has an autistic MC, than I have in any writing before lmao

👀 To a Darker Shore, my childhood best friends to monsters to lovers YA fantasy is in @people.com❤️‍🔥😈🔥

I've been busy with line edits for THE LORD OF THE WOOD, but luckily I briefly started MarthaWIP back in July lol, so: Undoubtedly her father, because she hadn’t answered his first text yet. She never should’ve taught him to text. At eight-two, he’d become a menace. #MelsNoWriMo

hellooooooo #MelsNoWriMo, I'm E (she/they) and I'm late by one day I write fantasy books about older characters, and in my spare time I do pole fitness, go birding, play recorder, and goof off with various artistic mediums

the art versus the artist

you OC(s) plus a plant you associate with them this is Ira, the Lord of the Wood, from my upcoming queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD he's associated with oaks, although admittedly in the book the oaks are silver and magical learn more here: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

FUCK AI show me something you made without AI easy peasy lemon squeezy since I only ever make things without AI ...okay hard lime difficult time actually bc I have SO MANY CHOICES, but let's go with this charcoal and watercolor piece I did inspired by THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS

I don't want to SPEAK that's why I use a computer so I can TYPE. jesus. stop it

true facts, I have a bread-winning partner and I'm still not a full-time creative. my partner works full time and I also work full time and can't afford to quit my day job (but god if I ever could)

For the Sunday crowd!
