#SeptemberWorldbuilders 24/9: Sun, stars, moon, electricity and lightning (both Electra things!) as well as bioluminescence and chemiluminescence! Some magical items will take on a faint sheen of light or glow property. And there are feylits, small floating orbs of light as a magic spell #Vethera 😌

#WIPSnips 25/9: Absorb 'Unlike Valerie, who could take in plenty of simultaneous stimulus and absorb random parts of it that her brain found important...' - #WitchChild

#DiceRollArt is up and done for the week from me but I'd be happy to see other people's #fanart of #SleepyPrincess in the Demon Castle if you have it! Doesn't have to be new either ♡ www.patreon.com/posts/139632...

⏳ Last chance to grab my romantasy ARC before it disappears! Think slow burn enemies-to-lovers, spy games, and a plot that twists until the very end. Free until Sept 30—don’t miss it! Skylaranthony.com/arc #BookSky 📚💙 #BookTok #FantasyRomance #EnemiesToLovers #RomantasyReads #ARCReader

#WIPSnips 24/9: Leave '“We understand, I was just wondering… Sorry that you lost him. Thanks for your help.” Finally allowing them both to leave, the teens headed out the door, the detective watching them as they left.' - #WitchChild

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 24/9: #PenitentStorm has more themes around darkness than #WitchChild does. The main antag is evolved from a creature known as a Willful Darkness (think Kingdom Hearts) and is the reason Blair is separated from her brother. Blair had succumbed to it, but darkness lingers.

Bayle, the butler in an antique space station, works 24/6.5 (with a half-day off each week.) There's hardly any room in his day for the plot! #W #SFF #R #UnhingedPit

This week's #DiceRollArt is Number 48: Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle! A family favourite short anime ^^

#WIPSnips 23/9: Skill 'Recalling one time he’d asked Casey if she’d let him learn stage magician tricks, he’d been bummed when she begged him to learn some other skill; Anything but magic. “I always thought it was a bit weird.”' - #WitchChild

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 23/9: Electra is the Deity of Light and Enlightenment, but she has a sort of fall from grace. I enjoy writing the need to find balance between light and dark, so she's a symbol of light that's not strictly 'good'. Lightning is her icon, as well as knowledge-based imagery.

So true 🤣🤣💜

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 22/9 Ryder: The day his mother disappeared. Valerie: The first time she saw a shrink. Victor: the day he became scared of ghosts and thought they'd steal his sister. Manson: When the loneliness was too much, and he turned to the ocean.

#WIPSnips 22/9: Flurry -> Gust 'A small gust of wind encouraged the flame, born seemingly of nowhere. With the influx of oxygen, the flame slowly spread across to the kindling, getting the fireplace properly started.' - #WitchChild

Some stealth games are not super different from playing an advanced game of red light-green light with enemy forces.

Replaying all the AC games and occasionally it's just your main character sitting in bushes waiting for traffic to clear up a bit.

Who sends out their author newsletter at 2.30am? 👋 I'm an epic fantasy author working when my ADHD is focused 😉. This one's about why tonight's dinner at an Afghan restaurant gave me hope, my SFF Appreciation Discord, why direct sales seemed prudent as a trans author, & my SciFi-Fantasy's launch ⬇️

Standard procedure Progress Update - with the return of The Schedule! www.patreon.com/posts/139394...

Heya everyone! Sorry, I know it's late but! As promised, drawn before the Progress Update for the week! #DiceRollArt #Fanart #FFX www.patreon.com/posts/139377...

#WIPSnips 21/9: Disagree 'Some people had strange rules about their self-care, but that didn’t mean you got to disrespect their opinions just because you disagree with them.' - #WitchChild

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 21/9: I don't have any really in #WitchChild - but I do have plans for a thriving Pirate City that exists underneath where the Air Temple formerly existed! There's huge cliff walls and a small bay, to the northeast of #Vethera 🥰 it's near Metralo too.

#AwesomeCharacters The Doctor! He'd totally fit in with my kiddos in #WitchChild because I could *totally* spin things in a way he would perceive the demons to be aliens and he thinks it's tech not magic xD Specifically imagining the 10th doctor because he is my favourite, hence male pronouns-

Look, my TBR tower of Damocles might kill me one day, but you have to realise that buying books and reading books are two different hobbies.

It’s 7am and I just learned that boatswain is pronounced “bosun” and not “boat-swayne” so I’m just gonna go back to bed and do a hard reset on the whole day.

5 days till my tough kid takes on his deeply dysfunctional family past & the toxicity he developed to survive it. Almost time to claw his way out, tackling CPTSD, autism & literal monsters, with friends! Sample chapter on my store: payhip.com/EliseCarlson... ♠️🌈📚🪐📚💙 elisecarlson.com/sythe-series/

#WIPSnips 20/9: Obvious '“To talk. It’s important.” Manson raised an eyebrow, as if this fact was obvious.' - #WitchChild This word appears 4 times and only once is it listed as "obviously"... So far anyway :)

#SeptemberWorldbuilders Yes, all my MCs have bc they live in a coastal town. Dunraven is by the ocean and Manson even has a secret stretch of beach to himself. Ryder doesn't go often if he can help it. The sand gets to him. Manson goes nearly daily and the siblings+Cornelia only go for holidays.

#AwesomeCharacters If I classify my story as Supernatural Mystery... Then a genre pivot would count as coming of age, slice of life? 🤔 But if it was considered Modern Fantasy, I could totally have them abducted by aliens and they'd have to traverse space to get home, easily done! No magic even 😂

98! Go Aunt May! 🥳✨💜

Told my sibling that #WitchChild had hetero canon main ships and they just go "Hetero-HETERO? THAT FEELS LIKE SUCH A SLUR, WHAT?" And then I pointed out that I have written it to be VERY open with ships for 5/6 characters and that Nowhere Boys is the inspiration... It's got a LOT of queer undertone~

Australian English, according to Microsoft Word, is WILD you guys. I'm not *entirely* sure why it doesn't recognise phasmophobia as a word, but I sure as hell DID NOT MEAN HOMOPHOBIA 💀😤

#WIP #Preview #WitchChild The difference between making notes of a scene (script) and actually writing out the scene (Draft)! Notes; I have it set to English (Australia) which apparently hates the term s'mores. Parwill is Vegemite - look up it's history! You'll see :) Dunraven = VIC, Australia

My universes deal in the metric system. I struggle enough with math frequently as it is, I don't need the extra difficulty of all the odd + frankly random numbers to try and line up with feet and yard and whatever you imperial system users talk about! (I just typed Celsius into my WIP 😂) #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 19/9: Yard -> Backyard 'Now, with whatever haul survived the trip back, his parents would cook apple and blackberry pie with the apples that grew on their backyard tree.' - #WitchChild Yard itself is featured in the scripted, unfinished sections however!

#SeptemberWorldbuilders Aside from a few small islands here and there, Vethera is a planet with a supercontinent, meaning most of the world is one big continuous ocean that I haven't named yet <.<

#AwesomeCharacters Ryder is a confident character until it comes to his true self, in which he's still finding his footing about being forthcoming with his interests. Valerie is confident, outspoken and extroverted. Manson is fairly self contained? Not timid as such but (1/2)

#SeptemberWorldbuilders DAY 16: Oceanic Deities If you know about my Decatheon, you might expect me to mention Liqua, the Water Goddess. Unfortunately for her, she has next to no power over the ocean. Long before she was ever born, the ocean was imbued with demonic power and became Lord Deep Sea.

An Aussie journalist and our ABC are banned from attending Trump's next UK event, for asking how much money Trump's made in office this year. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... As he doesn't want journalists to do their jobs, let's give the journalists a hand. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Putting out another call for Writers seeking community (on Discord, where proper conversations are easier 😉). Marginalised writers especially welcome (each category has its own channel). As is anyone in/ or from any country in; Asia Africa Latin America (This Region Channel needs more company 😉)

Excuse me while I go faint from shock and amazement 😍 I need to adjust the text on the spine and the spacing on the bells to the left but the inside is perfect and the colors are so vibrant. Can’t believe I’m actually holding a book *I* wrote.

#AwesomeCharacters I choose to join the Ravens Basketball Team! I'm tall and they're all good players regardless of if my skill brings them down some xD Especially if Valerie is on the team. With Ryder I'd do Vetheran Magic History - cuz I created it xD Manson would be Red Caped Man Trivia. (1/2)

Friend read it and said it was good! Said they learned something about themselves reading it and I am Joyous. Early reviews are in: I am not a total dumbass :D

#WIPSnips 18/9: Red 'Red in the cheeks from the wind and chill, Manson was glad that his embarrassment was hidden by natural causes. “Ryder’s with him."' - #WitchChild Red is so hard to find! I keep getting words like injured and tired etc. bc of the final 3 letters ><

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 18/9: It is said that a species of sentient merfolk are real and live in the oceans. No one can confirm this, and those who can refuse to. Don't go swimming for treasures in the deep, wild waters, unless you want to be their newest prey. This is why Pirates Do Not Swim.

I don't have the spoons to read this whole thing right now but I can tell you that Ana Valens is doing some of THE BEST reporting on this issue & this will be worth reading when you have the time Also, fuck payment processors and their puritanical bullshit

#DiceRollArt number for today is 18: Final Fantasy X! Looking forward to this one, asked a big fan who or what I should draw? I was told Treasure Chest and Blue flan!

#WIPSnips 17/9: Difference-> Different 'Manson was always completely at home in a library setting, but he never had company when he was there. So having Valerie accompany him would be a very different experience.' - #WitchChild Difference only appears in my script notes once as 'height difference'

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 17/9: I plan on having a primordial being of destruction sleeping in the depths just beyond Aeon City that is to be summoned for plot when I finally get there ♡ Kraken is being used as a placeholder atm but I like to randomise 3 animals and throw'em together 😂

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky

loss is so interesting to write about, joy is just as much a part of it as grief #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts

ALRIGHT, the thing that was giving me massive anxiety is OVER I can RELAX I can get back to doing the things I WANT TO DO Writing, drawing, reading, here I fucking come🏃‍♀️
