On today's episode of Al Skyl is mentally ill: Decided to write a scene that needs to make it into the final draft of Weakborn even if I don't have a clue where to put it Proceeded to have a manic episode about it Now waiting very impatiently for my friends to read it and tell me what they think

As someone on the spectrum, I can tell you, people don't want unapologetically weird, they want socially acceptable quirky.

Thank you for teh host Riola! Wish you have a lovely day! I'm a Fantasy artist! Open #Commissions do #OC artwork and #Fanarts too! And I do love to draw pretty boys xD💖🔥 #art #digitalart #BRart #fantasyart #illustration #rpgart

#Commissions slots open! Please, make sure to have a good look at my work! I do full illustrations, Portraits, custom character designs and reference sheets, also even some quick sketches ;3 Lots of options #VGen ☘️ vgen.co/NicoleChiorato #art #digitalart #illustration #rpgart #fantasy #fantasyart

From now until the end of September EVERY commission will come with a FREE PIXEL ART CHIBI!!! 🤩🤩 ya girl needs to lock in vgen.co/Nushdeco [ #art #commission #vgencomm #artsky ]

It's really me vs the algorithm out here. Doing everything I can to appease the Instagram gods, and my views keep dropping. Now it's saying if I upload three posts and one reel a week that'll help. I don't have any ideas for reels. Help.

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

Chat I committed a diabolical oopsie I accidentally posted a quote from Weakborn to my personal Instagram instead of my writer one Instantly deleted but ohhhh that could've been so bad Instagram needs to like have somewhere in the post editing where it tells you what account you're posting to

[update] Scheduled: #AO3 will be down for about 20 hours starting at 07:30 UTC on September 26 while we prepare some improvements to collection browsing.

Many, many authors and artists also have a Patreon or Ko-fi with a $1 or $2 tier if you want to support creatives directly

I lost my health insurance coverage and will not have it again until January. I have important prescriptions to fill, so any commissions or engagement for this will be tremendously appreciated.

I am a very tired man but it's #weeklywordcount day so here's what I've been up to: Not writing 😂 I'm overtired and out of ideas, so I spent the week playing Spiritfarer, meaning I'm coming up with zero words written, again. Definitely a much-needed break, but I'm excited to get back to it!

Hi guys~ I have two open slots on my vgen for icons! ^^ Come get some!! #vgencomm ❄️vgen.co/seoribite ❄️

Playboy is the fourth book in The Elite, focused on famous model Owen McClain as he deals with the loss of his older brother, and must figure out who he can trust, and who he can't. (Currently working on the rough draft!)💙📚 #booksky #writersky #fantasybook #fantasyauthor

I'm back to writing my favorite doomed siblings💙📚 (Quote from the rough draft of The Elite: Playboy) #booksky #writersky #fantasybook #fantasyauthor #bookquote

I'm testing out a new post scheduler because I hate social media managing...so this should be going live on Tuesday at 7:27 pm. If not, oops.

I love seeing queer artists draw bodies. Queer attraction and beauty has such range to it, and I love seeing body types and parts that we've been told are ugly drawn with such care. I love getting to see the body from so many different perspectives

3 DAYS UNTIL KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE

start using "fanworks" again instead of "content" let's go people

Unfinishable chapter, of an unendable tale.

Hoo boy I'm too tired to be doing this today... It's #weeklywordcount day! And this week's wordcount is... 0 Yep, zero. I took the week off from writing to deal with the new job and my chronic illness, and hopefully soon I'll be recharged and ready to get back to it!

Congrats for so many, absolutely well deserved!🥳✨💖 Thank you for the host too! I am Nicole, a digital illustrator, fantasy artist, focused in character artwork and designs! Do commissions, OC artworks and Fanarts sometimes #art #BRart #artsahre #artsky #digitalart #illustration #rpgart #fantasy

ooooh I didn't think I had a same character comparison but I DO. May~June 2020 vs (finished in) September 2025. I quite like my boy's haircut but I should give long hair Velis a proper illustration sometime

The Elite: Playboy lives to taunt me istg. I know there's a plot somewhere in there that's gonna eat me alive but in the meantime I'm just shaking Owen (the main character) hoping he'll pop something out of him (It's not working)

Do I need to disclose on a first date that I was cursed by the evil wizard or will that just be obvious from my whole vibe

If we had polls here, I'd be asking ebook readers; A. Are you still willing to buy from Itch? B. Are you not buying books at all at the moment? C. Do you buy direct from authors when that's an option? D. Do you buy from Kobo? E. Other online stores? Ah well, type a reply if you like!

New ko-fi goal. I don't want to ask for help for rent, but I am just not making money despite trying everything at my disposal. If you can't or don't want to tip (you WILL see all the posts even as a one time donation!), I'll be sharing my vgen link as well and running a commission sale over there.

Pulled the last of the 5 leaf plates from the kiln just now and all 5 survived! My kiln has been running basically nonstop 3 days as each run is about 9 hours and I can fit one maybe two at a time in there. I'm thinking of small bottles, pentacles, and spoons next. Pics in the morning.

REEDS cis men if you hooked them up to a period cramps machine Shu: would keel over at the first setting Keng: can withstand without visibly showing pain, but taps out Lee: in tears until he passes out Yu: same as Shu Pengsu: even at the highest setting, he will stay stone-faced. breaks the machine

It's late but it's still #weeklywordcount day! I've had a very rough week but I'm still closing out with 2,503 words and I'll take it with the week I've had💙📚 #writingcommunity #promosky #booksky #writersky #fantasyauthor

OOOOOOOOOO YOU WANNA COMM NICO SO BAD OOOOOOOH

Still one slot open for these ^^ Here or on vgen!

Your reminder that 99.99% of the artists you interact with are sustained by a second job or spouse/family, and followers do not actually translate directly to dollars

It’s funny because promoting and marketing a book in any way, shape, or form is actually NOT the author’s job. At all. It is unpaid labor we’ve been forced to do for so long the expectation has mutated like a virus into “okay now you also have to be a TikTok sensation to do this as a job.”

Shout-out my partner for pointing out that I have muscle spasms in my hands, leading to me looking up what causes that, leading to me realizing it's probably directly linked to the numbness I get in my hands when I'm tired. Basically I might have fucked the nerves in my hands and arms. Oops.

I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.

UK folks! Youve got your own petition now! You know what to do!!!

Weird that it cost a TV production company £20k to license my books, but this company got to do it against my will and the will of my publisher for an order of magnitude less. And only *maybe* pay up because they settled out of court.

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

im gonna say this really loud this morning i really need everyone who thinks theyre being annoying about the things they love to do it more. do it louder. your happiness is so special and wonderful to witness and i hope you learn to love the space you take up in this world like we all love it

oh cool there is one for australia too. if you want you can sign it, might as well spread it around

People didn’t care when it was happening to sex workers, to PornHub, to DLSite, to adult content they didn’t care for. So paypro control over speech grew to this point. A lot of this is about silent consent to discriminate and abdication of responsibility
