People should actually GO to the library and read physical books more. Just looked up a book I'd like to read, there's 1 hold on the physical copies, but about 80-100+ for the ebook and e-audiobook. Come on, people. (Makes it easier for me, though!) 💙📚

I wasn't always a full time #author with several successful books in print. (1/11) Truth be told, I failed 100x more than I succeeded. But some of the projects I worked on have paved the way to the artist and writer I am today. Here's a quick timeline of some of my projects:

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

I still cannot get this mind-blowing book out of my head. ("The Book of Chaos") Epic dark fantasy, complex magic systems, figure-8 time loops, huge cast of grey characters, and a plot more tightly-woven than a cosmic tapestry. @louiseblackwick.com's books are what it feels like to chew 5 gum.💙📚

February reading. 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This' about Palestine is literally one of the best, horrific, and most impactful books I've ever read. A reporter's memoir of the hypocritical liberal Western hypocrisy when it comes to freedom and justice. #booksky #storygraph

I had an amazing day on set today. 🥰 We just wrapped up filming episode 9 & we are prepping to shoot the 10th (and final) episode. In season 1, I got to meet my interdimensional doppelgängers & explore the vast fantasy world of my novels. I can't wait to unleash this wacky show upon the world! 💙📚

I nearly teared up watching the 10 year anniversary of #StardewValley. 🥲

I alchemized my actual living soul into this 7400+ words article. This one contains lots and lots of practical tips & even a smidge of "creative homework"💙📚 From the series: How to Get Your Writing to Escape the Longtail of Obscurity & Make a Living as an Artist. www.patreon.com/posts/151890...

In today's article, I shared a few best practices for weaving "the Self archetype" into your creative writing projects.💙📚 Fair warning: there is some rather difficult, expert-level hermetic writing advice in this one, which makes it slightly unsuited for new writers www.patreon.com/posts/jungia...

Day 20: One way magic effects everyday life is funny enough doors. Somdiabras magic is based on shadows. They can travel through the shadows around them to get to certain places, including different rooms in their house. Why use a door when you can just use your magic! #Febchantment #booksky

With "Bloodeater" the more people you maim/slay, the larger your bloodlust & "the Void" takes permanent shelter behind your eyes.👀 Your tears turn tarry-black & you can often hear a 2nd heartbeat (a heart of Darkness) beating inside your chest.🖤 Plus your knife-hands get those creepy dark veins.💙📚

Blimey, Georgie did an excellent job remastering my original artwork for Bloodeater. (Vivian Amberville's trademark "thought-made-flesh" weapon).🗡️🤩 She even added the creepy red & black veins & swollen capillaries that take over your arm when holding #Bloodeater! 💙📚 #vivianamberville #DarkFantasy

8 perfect time loops, one quintuple, one a triad, a magic system more complicated than any #Sanderson novel, and a fantasy world to rival Tolkien. 💙📚 How I imagine @louiseblackwick.com planned the @vivianamberville.com Vivian Amberville book series.

Rei’s specialty, but two seniors were already ahead of him. There was no way he was going to push his way onto that team. Not this year. Still, it looked promising for next. During practices and test trials, Rei usually placed near the top. #BookSky #ReisStory #scifi www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDDTRPKQ

Make sure to already have a bunch of code words or sentences in place, should you ever have to convince yourself that you are in fact you. I have several but if I told you then my doppelgänger would have to kill you 😈

Here am I now - between the #SpeculativeFiction realm, and the #IndieLiterary circle - a tiny speck of #creative dust... adrift a green sea of talented fellow #authors, sparkling under the crisp #Bluesky of mid-winter. \O_o/ If we haven't met before, I'm a full time author based in the Netherlands.

It's February. Paddlers who get real winter don't get on the water much this time of year. Read about my paddling adventures, instead! Green Paddler is free at most online vendors (99cents on Amazon) in February. Ask for it at your library! books2read.com/greenpaddler

Some of you are new to #VivianAmberville. It's still selling a ton of copies every single day, so we thought of making a #FunFact series, for the ppl who don't know much about the universe of the novels. We'll start with an easy one: #1 The Pelsinn Mount is the most common ridable animal in Ærria💙📚

Nice auroral activity happening now right from our front door in Beaver, Alaska!

Lil Cookie update. Pic taken thru glass window in door so not the best but who's this? Cookie's safe space is down these stairs but he's sitting close to the landing door where hoomom is cooking & us other cats are peeking at him. Maybe he likes us? Hugs from all of us 🏈🐰🩷

Cor, thank you! I'm not familiar with the weapon you mentioned. But my whole Vivian Amberville darkfantasy series is written like a DnD campaign. The protag has a 24-sided die that she rolls & "reality itself" shows her clues hidden within the numbers. I've even been working on designing a DnD set.

The memes you used in this article are funny AF :)) Maybe because they're true. :))

A flower still life in oil on gessoed board from nearly a decade ago (sold). The camera distorts the difference in size between the painting and the subject but gets the colour pretty acurately (an excellent DMC-LX5- still in use) #oilpainting #stilllife #flowers

Awww, it thinks im a professional!! Yknow, funnily enough i have never thought of myself as a visual artist. But i guess with all the acrylic painting..yeah 🤔

I'm going to use this post thread to talk about future articles. In this one, I speak about one of the most complex #Jungian #archetypes - the Archetype of the Self - and how you can leverage its #hermetic #symbolism to enhance your storytelling. 💙📚 www.patreon.com/posts/jungian-writing-150174989

Never have I met a poet with such exceptional flair for re-imagining popular IPs into beautiful, soulful, fine displays of #poetry! What @jordanriverwrites.bsky.social is trying to do here (and very much succeeding!) is nothing short of spectacular.❤️ #Bluesky, kindly give Jordan all your love! 💙📚

Happy February 4th, today is my 15th anniversary with @ketpia.bsky.social ! 🤠🎨🤡🎉

My fellow Weavers & Chaos Weavers, This February, we finally wrap up filming "Louise Blackwick vs. the Algorithm" - a funny, tongue-in-cheek Youtube show where I meet versions of myself from parallel realities. Editing & post-production will behind shortly. 🎥 Hope you'll tune in when it's out! 🥰❤️

New patreon post just dropped! This is probably the most "mystical" & deeply personal article I've written in a long, long while. If you're a fellow writer or artist, trying to make a decent living from your art/writing, this might be for you. 💙📚 www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-stay-to-1-149532909
