I was able to do this for my sequels and I am genuinely glad that Orbit let me keep em!

2026 is the year of substantive editing. everyone should spend more time learning how to edit and appreciating good editors who can look at your whole piece and tell you what's working and what isn't, what's strong or weak. the world needs more editors who care about great stories

I….don’t know what to make of this

PRINCE OF ASH edits let’s goooooo!

I wrote the concluding book in my trilogy!!! It still needs polishing and edits, but I did the thing!

💞 AN ARCANE INHERITANCE IS OUT NOW 💞 This book has been mine for so long. Now it's yours. Thank you to @emilykaitlin.bsky.social and @poisonedpenpress.bsky.social for believing in me and this story. You can find An Arcane Inheritance wherever books are sold. Purchase: linktr.ee/kamilahcole

Does anyone else have the problem with Twitch where they demand you enter a verification code and then just....never send the email? I've been trying for half an hour and I'm at my wits end.

More toxicity and more horror. Less making character relatable and more making them interesting.

Survived I don't mean this in a glib way -- 2025 has been a year of stress and trauma and endless disruption. This is a year I am proud that I have survived, and I'm still fighting and will be bringing that defiance to 2026 because it is not over yet.

kill the voice in my head that is concerned about what people who are not my audience would think about my work

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Hello! I just finished my book trilogy about gay angels and the end of the world :) please check it out if that sounds fun to you

I'm at the "lie on the floor" stage of processes my edits but I still gotta get up and pretend to be Christmas cheery 😭

✨The everlasting✨ I’m thrilled to share the cover I did in collaboration with owlcrate and Alix E Harrow. This is one of my fav covers I had the chance and opportunity to make this year. It’s was so fun and challenging in a good way. Thanks a lot for having me. #illustration #art #artwork

With the end of the year looming, and a lot of healthcare in flux, we're hoping more trans folks become aware of this. Catholic Church-run health systems now have a total trans care ban, and that includes doctor's offices, urgent cares and specialists you may not even know are part of their networks

…..how does Chani know I had top surgery….

I've got about 25 Lynch calendars left and if you order now I'll be shipping on Monday and Tuesday before taking a few days off to visit family just an fyiiiii www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

Shan needs a conscience

Artist! Quote with you most detailed art! ✨ Most of my work is hella detailed. But this one broke me.

a sequel: cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

Oh come the fuck on

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

I am rotating THE UNWORTHY and THE ROTTING ROOM in my brain Queer Catholic Gothic era incoming

As if last night wasn't bad enough, a new proposed rule would introduce a de facto nationwide trans youth healthcare ban There will be an open comment period, but it's time gear up and fight.

When the world is getting me down, at least I have @ladzwriting.bsky.social to send me….*check’s notes*… a fancam (???) of one of my favorite video game characters

Y’all I’m so fucking tired

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care. This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

Federal ban on healthcare for trans youth passes the House. Horrific day, horrific precedent. We continue to hurtle toward genocide.

Gotta hand it to @superstarfighter.bsky.social for making Isaac look so good. The DETAILS. It's so LUSH. The pop of red for the heart gets me every time!

It's frankly impossible to discuss without major spoilers, but while each member of my trio has a defining moment, Shan in particular keeps finding new lines to cross That girl is a MESS

Thank you for nominating THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT for the #indieinkawards I get really silly about the autocannibalism, but the food writing in CRADLE is legit one of my favorites Voting starts today here: indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-... Get a copy here: books2read.com/thecradleofe...

I think custom perfume would be neat

Trans healthcare IS lifesaving care, particularly for minors. Banning it WILL lead to misery and higher suicide rates. This is sheer ugly bigotry with ZERO basis in science or medicine. CALL YOUR REPS.

*looks at all the sex scenes in PRINCE OF ASH* I'll get back to you on that

This but in a confessional -- [REDACTED], 202X

The rest (mostly) of my David Lynch calendars arrived and I will be shipping out all pending pre-orders tomorrow! I don’t have too many extras tbh so if you want one I rec buying one asap! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

MISTRESS OF LIES is queer dark fantasy romance that follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him. LORD OF RUIN is but with more monsters and smut.

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

Beta reading for @ladzwriting.bsky.social is always an adventure

Every time I start to even vaguely miss the Church that raised me, I'm reminded that they don't want me any more

I think straight and cis people really have no idea what things are like out there for the rest of us. I’ve received minimum one paper Like That per year since I started teaching, if not one or more per semester, all of which contained varying degrees of blunt hate speech directed *at me* lmao
