Every time I encounter "writer's block," it's because the material I'm writing is too close to home. I pull away when the work is emotionally difficult. For me, overcoming writer's block usually involves self-reflection and healing. Can anyone else relate? #writingcommunity

I'm at that stage already with my new novel where I am OBSESSED. I cannot stop thinking about my characters. 😅 It's like... every break at work I'm scrambling to write down new thoughts and inspiration. IT DOESN'T STOP #amwriting

New pinned post alert! 😁

Sapphic smut recommendation alert! 🏳️‍🌈 Y'all, MASK & STRAP by @katblackthorne.bsky.social is SO hot. 🥵 Highly recommend this erotic short if you're into primal kink and mascs wearing masks (ayyy lol).

"the writer's barely-disguised fetish" WRONG, all my fetishes are out in the open and actively make what i write even better

Hi! I'm Bryn. 👋🏻 I'm a lesbian author working on my first sapphic romantasy, an enemies-to-lovers about an evil queen and the butch chosen one fated to destroy her. I also write lesbian erotica under the pen name Inanna Black. #wlw #sapphicbooks

TEN HOURS of hyper-focusing on my new enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance novel yesterday left me feeling, uhhh, pretty wiped out! Today I'm trying to reset and recover. Fill those creative wells back up 🥲✨

Today I woke up at 4:30 in the morning in a burst of inspiration. I started a new novel—the lesbian romantasy I've been prepping to write for months!! The words for Chapter 1 were just suddenly FLOWING.

I'm proud to be self-published! Self-publishing takes a lot of work. You have to wear a lot of hats and learn a lot of diverse skills. It's a challenge, and it's not for the faint of heart! Definitely not something to look "down" on.

Allie has been job hunting for ages in this transphobic economy. Pitch in if you can!

Also: I'm going to be doing a bit of a face lift on my profile... will be changing my name here to reflect my sapphic pen names, etc.... Consider this space currently under construction! 🏗️🛠️

I really love the queer/sapphic book community I've found here. 🏳️‍🌈 I've decided to come back after a four-month hiatus—and change my focus to SAPPHIC LITERATURE moving forward! So if that's what you're into, you're in the right place! 😌 #sapphiclit

Happy Pride! I got to march in the Denver Pride Parade this year with the Colorado Satanists. 😎 Hail yourselves!🤘🏻🌈 #PrideMonth

⭐ INDIE BOOK REVIEW ⭐ Five steamy stars for Serving the Princess by @briannadasilva.bsky.social This is a fun fantasy world I'll certainly revisit. Perfect for anyone who wants a bit of heat in their afternoon!

Ugh. Burnout sucks. 😓 I keep going through these cycles of intense productivity, followed by complete uselessness.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month 🏳️‍⚧️ is here, but instead of giving your money to a soulless corporation that’s just slapped a rainbow on some cheap tat, give it to a bunch of queers who will give it to other queers, and then give you art* in exchange! *and possibly a jockstrap! 🩲 www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

Stay safe out there, friends. 💙 #Resist

I’m helping my friend @briannadasilva.bsky.social to make a horror film! The seed and spark goes live mid month, sign up to get notified. They’ve got mugs and shirts and a scale model of the monster! 👹 #FilmSky #ScriptSky #IndieFilm #HorrorSky 🎥 mailchi.mp/e1df28263470... GUARDIAN | Join the team!

a woman is a type of sword

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

I'm thinking tonight about butch identity, and how taking on the role of protector/caretaker doesn't have to just apply to my partners, but can also extend to vulnerable members of my community... and I'm having a lot of Feelings.

All of this. What they actually want to do is make a big show of terror and try to convince people to stop standing up. Not giving up is what they don’t want. So don’t do that.

Feeling inspired today for the enemies-to-lovers lesbian romantasy I want to write after I finish all my current projects. I've got scenes coming to me right now that are leaving me SORE with feels. Ugh. I'm so looking forward to writing this. 🥺 #amwriting

The leopards They are eating each other yes YES The leopards are HUNGRY

Homophobic memes go so hard 😂 #PrideMonth

I genuinely feel so fortunate to be a lesbian, and a butch. If I had a choice to reincarnate as any gender/orientation, I would choose this life again. #PrideMonth

Do **YOU** have pride merch you're selling?? Original works, art, ychs, merch, etc.?? Share it here in the replies!! Let's support and uplift each other this pride!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Today I bought two sapphic books—NOT with money I earned from my day job, but with money I earned selling lesbian erotica! I can't even say how good it felt 😌

This year, Pride is a protest. And it's more important than ever to elevate, platform, include and otherwise uplift ✨queer✨ creatives. ALL of whom will be feeling the drastic and disastrous downturn in the western world of LGBTQ+ freedom, dignity and rights. Thank you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Pride is absolutely our excuse to be loud and proud about our existences, so be fucking annoying this year and remind them we could go back to throwing bricks.

In a year, twenty five states will require age-verification to view this. bsky.app/profile/benj...

Reminder that corporations like Target have NEVER been allies. They have ONLY wanted to profit off of us. They've made it clear in ✨recent events✨ that they don't give a shit about queer lives, just queer dollars. Boycott #RainbowCapitalism. Buy from LGBTQ-owned shops instead!

This was my first time making Book 1 in a series temporarily free. Man, it definitely worked! I had around 700 downloads. And already, a lot of these readers have picked up the rest of the series.

Pride is almost heeeerre! I'm going to a sapphic pride kick-off party on June 1. I can't wait to wear the outfit I've prepared. 😎🏳️‍🌈 #pridemonth #lesbiansky

Went shorter for the summer! 😌✂️ #lesbiansky

As we head into Pride month, please consider the fact that queer art is rarely given the resources or backing provided elsewhere...and that so much of it exists in spite of constraints and out of the sheer desire to share a story. Art made with economy is still a triumph...in fact, even more so.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

#HorrorFam check out my conversation with up and coming filmmaker @briannadasilva.bsky.social as we discuss The Substance (2024) and why modern horror films seem to all be leaning into liminal spaces and dreamlike imagery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6-m...

One of my favorite things to do when an editor points out an unclear sentence or phrase is to just... delete it. WHAT, what do you mean, this part doesn't make any sense? What part? It's gone now! ✨Poof!✨ #amediting

My knight x princess erotica is FREE until the end of today! Grab it while you can! ⚔️⛓️💕 #wlw #sapphicbooks kdpbook.link/for/B0DH8W7VR5

"We need more examples of non-toxic masculinity" dude, lesbians are right there.

I've been making my through this lesbian romance about a vampire and a hunter. The tension between these characters is soooo delicious 😌 #wlw #sapphicbooks

I'm so excited for Pride Month. Last year, I didn't get to celebrate it at all. This year, I'm planning to attend not one, not two, but FOUR different Pride parties and events. 😌🏳️‍🌈

Do you feel like we're in a horror golden age right now? I sure do! I had a FANTASTIC discussion with @ericmalikyte.bsky.social exploring this idea. We also talked about liminal spaces, analog horror, storytelling philosophy, and more! #horror #horrorsky youtu.be/k6-mlS2Xy54?...

Ok, Bsky - a MISSION for you. We want as many subs to Wrath Month as possible, from as diverse an array of voices as possible. POC voices, disabled voices, neurodiverse voices, trans voices, ace and aro voices - everyone. Scream it from the rooftops, folks!

Just got back from a shopping trip where I added some more summery butchy clothes to my wardrobe and I am SO excited! *happy squealy noises*

We do best what we do most So try to mostly do stuff that makes you happy

I believe in romanticizing your life. Light a candle for dinner, even if you're eating alone. Hang up fairy lights. You only get to live this life once, so you might as well make it special. 💙
