btw this was how the conversation with my tattoo artist started: Her: so what is your book about? I'm so curious!! Me: Have you heard of the fated mates trope?

Its my birthday today! 🎈the first year of my thirties has been a wild ride, but I’m glad to still be here & making art, and it would mean so much if you could share my work 🖤

Hey, #WIPSnips, mark your calendar! #WSPit returns February 25th, 2026 This is an Author Hype Event WIPSnips is already great with hype, but this gives you a chance to pitch your work as a whole, published work included. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

There's no genre that should be written by AI because fuck AI forever, but romance has got to be the last genre AI should ever be used for. Despite all the jokes about how formulaic Romance is, you're asking an unfeeling machine to convey the most complex of human emotions (love, horniness).

Every transphobe sucks, without exception.

I think today's a good day to support indie authors who don't use AI. And also to support editors, cover designers, artists, and book coaches who don't use AI and aren't running grift classes. Small businesses that are struggling and get paid poverty wages.

If AI “authors” and “artists” are so proud of their use of plagiarism-bots, why do NONE of them label their work as AI-generated? They all pretend they did it themselves because they *know* audiences hate it and *know* they will be judged for it. Keep rejecting AI and support humans 💙📚

me and all my besties HATE ai😤

Thank you for doing this Amara! Its good to ponder on topics like this Vow of Loathing is an MM fantasy romance about a repressed fae prince and a mate bond with the assassin of his enemy court that he's kept hidden for over a century, terrified of what his father would do and of it being rejected.

From Vow of Loathing, Erasmus' father has (literally) burned it into him over years that his attraction to males is wrong, scared him into keeping his virginity, but after he sleeps with his mate and spends a long journey with him, he refuses to call himself disgusting for it again

Resistance is non-conformity, its living how you want to live, doing things the world tries to tell you is wrong just because it doesn't fit in with their ideals. Its saying fuck you to all of it and following your own path despite how difficult it might be and its fighting for the right to do so

Did this a liiil bit backwards but hi! I'm Kirsty, I'm 30, bi/demi and I'm currently writing an MM fantasy romance. Its the second book in the series, set in a fae world made up of seasonal courts and I just published book 1 a few weeks ago 🙂‍↕️

When you write queer stories every word you write is an act of resistance, what you see as a silly romance is probably going to be banned in a lot of places, read in secret by people who live places where its not safe to be out. Its a form of escape for yourself as the writer but for the reader too

writing is funny sometimes, because I'm the one who made all this stuff up, and now I'm staring at it two thirds of the way deep into finishing it asking: “what the hell is happening here??"

OOH, can we do this? 👀 1 like = 1 random line from one of my WIPs/Published works

"how do you create and come up with your characters?" I mind my own business until a nameless blob inevitably interrupts my day like Gandalf showing up claiming to be an old friend, and begging to go on adventures

Sometimes I wish I could be like other authors and thrive in a social environment when writing, but then I remember I'm not neurotypical and I need complete silence to write. If I was in a vc or writing with others around me & talking then I would go insane actually 😅

Me listening to my mum brag about my book to her best friend of 25 years 😂

HANG UP YOUR WAR SCYTHE, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE SELF DOUBT. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Hael in this scene is really like 😂

Nobody knows the blood, sweat, and tears that went into your art but you. It could take years for you to finish a painting. When you post it, someone else may see it and keep scrolling. For you, it contains a piece of your soul. For someone else, it’s a piece of content among multitudes.

acknowledge those small wins if you can. I get they don't seem like much in the moment, but they can pave the way to even bigger ones. And I don't know, man, but take what you can get sometimes, you know? Hold onto it. Ignore the immediate guilt of "this isn't enough." Give yourself some damn credit

I just received the proof copy for my debut novel and isn't she a BEAUT (and a chonker to boot?? God damn)

we're doing numbers 👀

🔥 FREE E-BOOK ALERT 🔥 To celebrate the release of my debut novel Vow of Loathing I'm making the ebook free for a few days!
