Scrollwork practice

Was inspired today to draw Willow as a Peeker image 😁

I just sent my third draft to my editor. 😬😬😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

My jack-of-all-trades creative nature reared its head tonight 👀 spent a lovely hour in Nomad sculpting.

I shouldn’t have spent time on this today, but I did. Oh well. Enjoy! #artistsonBluesky

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Thanks Prism. (Spring hormones means she makes eggies) I’ve been expecting this and have been tracking her weight since this process started.

A year ago, I completed my first draft at 102k words. Then, I compeleted my second draft on 11/17/25 at 115k words. I’m now 11 days away from completing my third draft with 117k words. What a ride. 😮‍💨

When the last himmel on Kahzia is hunted and imprisoned, her soul is torn from her apex-predator body and transformed into a human-himmel hybrid. A fugitive banished to the planet—prompted by his blood magic—promises to help her. #WritersonBluesky

Can I convince you to follow me? Maybe, juuuust maybe this will help? I’m an artist-author publishing my first novel this summer, and I can’t wait to share Willow and Carrick’s story. No generative AI used, just a human screaming from the rooftops and shrimping over her iPad 😅 #writersonbluesky

Happy Halloween! (Took out my Seer from Hollowknight cosplay to hand out candy)

Happy Autumn!

Officially hit 62.5K words in my second draft today. Chapter 13 done! #writersonbluesky

Fucking fine Steam, I’ll go write while I wait. #Silksong

Working through the second draft of my novel and wrote this gem! Sometimes I impress myself lol #WritersofBluesky

✨ It’s official — we signed the lease! The Secret Lantern finally has a home in Cedar Park, TX, and we couldn’t be more excited~! We're building a space for books, games, and hidden magic — and now it's one step closer to real. Catch the full update + what’s next ---> tinyurl.com/yc7373m3

We're excited to reveal our new game: Never's End ⚔️ Never's End is a turn-based tactical RPG where you return from death into the midst of a global cataclysm. Wield the forces of nature to reshape the battlefield, and lead mankind back from the brink of extinction.

Would love for everyone to add a newly announced game to their wishlist! A dear friend did most of the writing. store.steampowered.com/app/1999930/...

OKAY!!!! I need people to start pumping the brakes on all of this Discord/DomoAI stuff because a lot of people are just straight up spreading misinformation without looking into things. Here's an image, WITH ALT TEXT (emphasis mine), that explains what's not true, and what IS true.

Picked these up, excited to learn! #artistsonbluesky

Poses done in 3 mins, 1 min, and 30 seconds. 😮‍💨 tough exercise! All this in 25 minutes. #artistsonBluesky

Whoever photoshopped this deserves to always have a cool side of a pillow. 😂

Did my hook you know… hook you? I’ve edited the first chapter down quite a bit and it makes me sad lol 😅 lemme know what you think. #writersonBluesky #writer #killingmydarlings

Let’s try this again. A snippet from my second draft! We’ll see if this gets ripped apart in edits before the final draft 😅 drawing and snippet made by me. (I realize it should be 8 not 4, oh well lol) What do y’all think? Would you read my book? #WritersonBluesky

Long time no post! Here’s what I’ve been up to. Lots of writing and art, and very little sewing. #artistsonbluesky not sure what the future holds so I’m just going where the creative energy takes me.

Pour one out for Madmartigan, fellow nerds.

Anyone in the Austin area want a cat? Theres now 8 in my house and only 4 of them live here 😮‍💨🙃 (we took them in from a horrible situation)

Only 30 out of 1,000 people that decide to write a book actually finish their first draft. I finished mine last week. Now I have the next mountain to climb—publishing! In the end, only 6 of the original 1,000 actually publish (indie and traditionally). I WILL be one of those 6 😁 #writersonBluesky

Popping in to announce I have officially finished the first draft of my novel! 102,025k words total. #WritersonBluesky excited to begin the work on my second draft… lot of revisions (mostly in the first few chapters) planned.

While everyone is participating in the economic blackout, don’t forget that Etsy sellers are usually small biz owners and don’t boycott me pls 😭 I don’t have my own website and Etsy is my main source of income right now! 💚 www.MadeByAeo.com #revolution2025

8 hours of work (following tutorials) and I have myself the beginnings of a game 😎 #FledglingGameDeveloper

My special needs kitter Ciri is hoping you are having a good day.

My writing over the last 6 days! Working on getting back to at least 500 words a day. I’m like 99.9% done with my first draft! This last chapter is tough lol.

I’ve decided to watch #Buffy for the first time and who the heck approved the voice actor for the Slayer “intro”? 🤨🤣

My #bilateralsalpingectomy went well today and I’m happy to report I’m home resting. 😁

New machine embroidery pattern available!

Did the best I could today dealing with emotions, but I can absolutely tell I’m stressed because the muscles around my eyes are beginning to twitch.

Plush keychains available now through my shop! www.madebyaeo.com #artistsonbluesky

Let’s take a look back on my 2024 year: writing edition! Getting hit by layoffs in June really hurt me, but I feel okay about my recovery AND I needed time off writing in Sept/Oct for a big convention in November. I managed to write 109,180 words in 2024! #WritersonBluesky

Humble Games is dead, and Humble Bundle has become a soulless husk. Cancel your subs, don't renew

Pretty solid couple days of writing! I think I have finished my 18th and 19th chapters, and I may need to squeeze in one more despite wanting to finish with just 20 chapters. 🤷 oh well! I’m getting closer to finishing my first draft by the new year. #writersonbluesky

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Chapter 18 is done! Time to get to work on chapter 19. I WILL finish this novel before 2025! #writersonBluesky

Incase you followed me for my plushies, don’t worry! I’ll get back to sewing in the new year. Trying hard to finish the first draft of my debut novel before 2025. 👋😁
