She was balancing on a tightrope spanning a wide river. To her left, a roaring torrent of fiery rage; to her right, a cataract of liquid lust; and in the center beneath her feet, the thin, white path toward salvation. She must not fall. #WIPSnips

Synonym to the rescue! The thought crossed her mind like a bolt of lightning from a cloudless sky, and she hesitated. Oda’s twisted games would continue even after Mako was gone, and with one less victim to choose from, the likelihood that he would pick Mitsu would be that much higher. #WIPSnips

Post a banger that's not in English www.youtube.com/watch?v=voJx...

A war veteran, a school shooter, and a test subject take on odd jobs for the church, celebrate Christmas, and then kill the Pope (he gets better) so they can go outside.

Played some good-ass BlazBlue at the arcade last night. Met some new people, had a few laughs, won some and lost some. Good times! (But can we PLEASE ban Arakune, like, for real?)

Can't believe I slept on The Umbrella Academy for this long. This show is great so far.

The encouragement she had drawn from his interest soured like old milk. She had a nasty feeling that, had their positions been reversed, he could have answered any question about the ancient knights without even stopping to think. #WIPSnips

These snippet prompts always seem to pinpoint a calm moment before disaster strikes in my WIP. Can you have too many disasters? #writesky #booksky

Mako sat up. She knew this sound; those brisk, confident strides. She watched the edge of the pit as the footsteps came closer, while hope and disbelief wrestled for control inside her battered heart. When the footsteps stopped and a familiar face peeked at her over the edge, hope won. #WIPSnips

We've got another anthology coming out soon! 😍

Oops, a new short story idea just popped into my head.

Someone stop us! (But don't though, you LOVE us) Our next anthology, V, will be out next year. V for 5. V for Villains. We have dedicated some much needed time to the villain world and hope you come enjoy us for the ride. Coming June 21st, 2026. #booksky #writesky 🪐 📚 💙

Going to my first offline fighting game event in years this Friday. Hoping to see some good-ass BlazBlue and maybe break my losing streak (not likely but I'll try, lol). Bo bleis!

ARC applications are open!! If you're interested in signing up, please DM me and I'll send you the link! #booksky #writesky 🪐📚💙

We've all been there: first day on the new job, new rules to learn, new coworkers lightly hazing you, a lump of worry in your throat that you might not be cut out for it. Few of us (I hope) have had to deal with an employer like Oda, though...

Finally saw Look Back the other night. The manga was amazing, and the animation and soundtrack elevated the story to new heights that brought tears to my eyes. If you're a creative, or if you just like a good story, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Working on a bunch of stuff right now so here’s one of my favorites from last year.

"The maid neither cried nor thrashed about in pain; she lay still on her back with her face to the sky, letting the rain wash her soul away to the Land of Light. Her face drained of color until it was as white as snow. Right before the end, she closed her eyes and smiled." #WIPSnips

I would have halved the population of Kyoto back in 2012 if I'd done this.

Quote with art you've gotten from other artists and promote them! The inimitable Justin McElroy @thoughtographic.bsky.social made the cover for Life After Dusk, and it's absolutely beautiful! (Pretty good book, too!)

What are five things in your upcoming release? Void Window has: A school for gifted young telepaths ("like the X-men but without the spandex.") Searching for meaning and self-esteem A beckoning light from another dimension Fully immersive D&D sessions More ZZ Top references than you can stand

By the time the soldiers had shifted the carcass aside, the general had drowned. Oda tore off his Hex and added it to his collection, leaving the corpse to the current. Then they pressed on. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

The Case of the Golden Idol is scratching that persistent itch left behind by the Obra Dinn. Really enjoying it so far.

How could anyone refuse a little 69? From Void Window, p. 69: “That’s okay. Remember what Bob used to say. ‘We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.’ Why don’t you add a little more paint and turn that smudge into a branch? You can never have enough of those on a tree.”

It’s that time again 😇 🎁

Nico was shivering, but not because he was cold; when Emmy came closer, she saw that he was tensing every muscle in his body, eager to resume his rampage. “B-b-b-b-bad to the b-b-b-b-bone,” he muttered through gritted teeth. “Gotta have more. Gonna get delirious. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shit!”

The rational part of her insisted that keeping Nico around was too risky, seal or no seal, and that she ought to put him down, for his own sake as much as her own. If he flew off the handle, if the seal were to break, unleashing that storm once again, she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to stop him.

Another day, another random post bitterly defaced by yours truly, who only strives to keep it real 😇

Asura’s Wrath

It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 516 Haven't gotten to page 516 yet? How about just 16, then? #Wednesday #HumpDay #indieauthors #WritingCommunity #booksky #writesky #writingq 🪐📚💙

My WIP only goes up to 230, so here's a little bit from page 16.

Accepting commission and freelance work. Book covers, album covers, rpg illustrations, etc Dm or email me for price ranges.

Wow. Just wow. youtu.be/xYtaBfwpg_k?...

On page 99, we find our protagonist about to depart on the most important, and perilous, journey of her life. Her companions: the one she loves, the one she needs, and the one she hates.

It's not over till it's over! Bo bleis! #BBCF

At home on the couch, on public transport, on a picnic blanket in the park. As long as I can be relatively undisturbed, I'm game anywhere.

Happy Friday, friends! Time for Friday's #WritingQ! What kind of setting does your book take place in? Do you write about the real world? Or a fantasy world? Something in between? Or something else entirely? #WritingCommunity #writers #indieauthors #FridayQuestion #Friday

My stories are all over the place. Memory Hole is set in the real world around 2017, Life After Dusk is set in what may be the distant future of Earth, and so is my WIP, tentatively titled The Well in the Isle.

It's #shadowsparkthursday and today we're highlighting the one, the only, @scribe.bsky.social! If you're looking for your creepy, spooky, monstery vibes for #spookyseason, these titles are for you! Link to purchase in our bio!

Saw Godzilla Minus One the other day. More like Godzilla MID-nus one, lmao

Fighting games are soooooo good

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮
