Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped.

This relates heavily to The Plot and the book would play out almost exactly the same with slightly less drama because Lyra would be the one going to save Melody instead of Melody going to save Lyra. They Meant to take Melody and got Lyra by mistake because they didn't know she existed lol

This whole section has been the most fun to write. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

With FIYAH going on indefinite hiatus it's really fucking important we support the mags publishing POC. If you have the means, support the things you love or they will disappear. Everyone's probs sick as fuck of hearing it but a magazine for Black voices stopped publishing today, it isn't abstract.

Um I did NOT need this from the novel I'm reading in order to procrastinate on writing 😅 📚💙

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Depending on the amount, a house! Melody's first purchase to put IN the house is more musical instruments, maybe a *real* piano instead of a keyboard. Lyra wants her own home gym in the garage. And if anything is left, begrudging contribution to their savings.

Happy World Bee day 🐝 Go kiss a bee and read some gays. 🌈📚💙

ADHDing my way out of finishing things. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it but notes in my planner to work on a specific project does help.

I've only had it once so it's hard to say it's my *favorite* but the best cake I've ever put in my mouth was a Princess Cake in San Francisco and it was very fancy.

Posted part of this snip the other day but it's my only disappoint! Which is shocking because there is a big "I'm not mad, just disappointed" kind of conversation later. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SpoonieAuthChat I love a good food moment. Usually they're my calm parts where the characters get to relax before I do the next horrible thing to them. My style leans cozy so I like to get fairly descriptive with what's being snacked on.

If you yearn for this, check your local library. Many have art and other hobby classes for adults!

Melody and Lyra share a body, which leads to lots of hearing each other's thoughts. Can't get much closer than that!

Melody gets along with everyone until they're hostile twords her. Lyra will keep grudges the average person cannot possibly comprehend forever though. Mainly her youngest sister but she does try to fix that relationship. In essence, Lyra is just mad at her for existing.

We're having a pretty snowy May but Ajani doesn't mind even though he *hates* anything wet usually. #caturday

Melody is an awful leader. She's used to following and hates being asked what the plan is. Lyra is a great leader, she's a quick thinker and ready to do anything to protect those around her. Unfortunately for Melody, Lyra is missing for most of book one and she has to learn to think for herself.

One of the things I meant to inform folks about years ago, but better late than never! #SpoonieAuthChat
