rough of a key scene from my book (yes i did start editing immediately after finishing the first draft, the brain weasels are Locked In) #dreaminggoblindraws #dreaminggoblinOCs #OCsky #sketch

So in the movie Wall-E I think it's wrong to assume all the humans left earth. The axiom took humans away 100s of years ago. The humans who remained on earth would be dust.

I will be petitioning you all for ARC reader sign ups very soon for a summer release. Mwahahaha!

My mother and I tend to watch DIY home renovation shows the way most people watch sports (ie when someone starts painting the windowsill pink we both throw hands at the screen and cry "noooooo!") My toddler has picked up this behavior, and it's really cute.

In case you're wondering how alternative search engines compare to the Big One, this is DuckDuckGo.

Bitching about authors promoting our books is a bad look. We don't want to have to endlessly post about them either, bro, but that's what we're all left with.

Happy Easter from one of my OCs! #WIP #Romantasy #amwriting (Thank you @dreaminggoblin.bsky.social for the image, it's amazing 😍)

Me: writes a romance book that is very critical of the concept aesthetic food Also me: loves making aesthetic food and posting pictures

I'm constantly finding new things to appreciate about the story telling in "A Goofy Movie." This morning I realized I2I is actually about the conclusion of the Goofy/Max emotional story.

Got my proof-read copy of Vanilla back! So keep an eye out for when I post of ARC readers! Also why does the to=do list feel longer than ever?

Calling this one done so I don't take unfinished illustrations into next month. #dreaminggoblindraws #dreaminggoblinOCs #OCsky #orginalcharacter #fantasyillustration #characterillustration

Nothing quite sums up how my writing is going quite like this video. Also, Defunctland where you at?

Update: had a long talk with my mom where a high light was her insisting she doesn't have AI on her phone because "it's an iPhone." The break through happened when I reminded her how much harder it is to remember things now that Google exists.

My mother has just given me a rare opportunity to explain why AI is bad, however, I feel like I need 17 hours to explain. Does anyone have a succinct article I can send which addresses: power usage, impacts on labor, psychological impact, privacy and wide scale theft of art?

I'm hoping to get this out in the summer. Vanilla is often a funny book but it's also often sweet and moody (like the below quote). #Contemporaryromance #plussizedromance #romancelandia 🌶️ 📖

so my hyperfixation for keeping up with #wipsnips is dulling a bit & ive moved to #crochet again. im currently making a basket from this free pattern from yarn&chai: yarnandchai.com/herringbone-... i'm using too small of a hook & using 3strands of worsted to make chunky so it's working up slow #wip

Here's the thing about writing a first draft: Yes, it's probably akin to manure, most first drafts are. But manure is also fertilizer and one day flowers or apples or cucumbers may grow from it and no one will ever even think about the origins. Write your book! #Writesky #Writing #Amediting

Every #fantasyromance should have the promise of a library. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I was waiting outside Costco for it to open (line around the building). The executive membership hour starts and a woman jumps the line in front of me (w/e I will just glare). Guess which line-cutter didn't have an executive membership and had to back her cart up to do the walk of shame. 😈

Desire isn't just physical in good romance. It's wanting their laugh, their thoughts, their presence. In second chance romance, it's wanting back everything you lost and more.

#WIPSnips from My Imprisoned Fae (I'm not actually sure if I'm keeping this part). This is from the meet cute with the other love interest. 👑 #Fantasyromance #Writesky

So, I post snips from this from time to time...it's about to go from #WIP to finished in a matter of weeks (probably, but ya know life). #Romancelandia #Writesky #Plussizedromance

So, just sent "Vanilla (with Sprinkles)" in for the proof reading phase and I could die of anxiety and excitement at the same time. I've been working on this for about two years and I'm just excited (but also painfully nervous to publish it).

I don't think I was fully prepared for my toddler to take on many of my personality traits. Yesterday she met another little girl at the library and told her all about all the stuff we get at Costco. 🤣

#WIPSnips For March 14th, still working on the faustian Cinderella retelling. 🥿 This is from the third act (pretty clearly considering I'm referencing a carriage made of pumpkin🎃) #Fantasyromance #Romantasy #Writesky #Writingcommunity

Sometimes getting a toddler dressed for school is like coaxing a badger into an animal crate: try as you might, eventually you're going to have to do it the hard way. You will bleed.

FMC Kalie waaaaay over thinks modern courtship, to hopefully hilarious results. Vanilla (with Sprinkles) coming this summer. #contemporaryromance #plussizedromance #romancelandia 🌶️ 📖

I have no words

#WIPSnips for March 8 with the word "Beam." From Vanilla (with Sprinkles): I have exactly one instance of this and it's adjacent to a spicy scene. #Writingcommunity #Writesky #Writingprompts #plussizeromance

#WIPSnips for March 7 the word "massive" This is from "My Imprisoned Fae" which is a Cinderella retelling with a twist. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Romantasy I want credit for not picking the spicy chapter!

Gordon is being smart about a rose he got from a secret admirer, so he doesn't hurt their feelings, all the while being hyperaware of his classmates around him. #WIPSnips 'destroy' #wmhst #writingcommunity #writesky #ocsky

Marketing is by far the hardest writing I do...but like writing books, I guess it only gets better by doing, trying, and trying again. I think I'm still in the "newb" phase of trying to market. And yes, hate it with a burning passion. #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#WIPSnips From "Vanilla (with Sprinkles)" #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #contemporaryromance #plussizedromance

My toddler just woke up crying because she wants to go back to #Disneyworld. Same kiddo, same.

From "My Imprisoned Fae" #WIPSnips destroy, I have "ruin" #Writingcommunity #Writingprompts #Writesky

It's a well-known medical fact that men who read literary fiction have entirely avoided the "male loneliness epidemic."

Yesterday's #WIPSnips 'counter' - had a headache and couldn't get it done before sleeping. Will post today's later Gordon & Vicky love to annoy each other. & Tober is Vicky's friend's big bro. This drawing is the only one I have of the 2 together. Which is a problem. #writesky #wmhst #ocsky

I haven't done one from Opus in a while ... here's Tess discovering that Lorcan isn't the only strange thing in the pub #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

#WIPSnips for March 4 from "Vanilla (with Sprinkles)" the word "media" #Writesky #Writingprompts #Writingcommunity #Romance Because the inherent value of "grocery store cheese" is a matter of perspective.

Reminder to all my friends working in the creative space...all those payment processors who decided certain *fictional* topics were off limits still work on Polymarket. Again certain works of FICTION Visa and MasterCard have effectively censored but...

Recollection round 2 beta edits are done \o/ I need to do some odds and ends before shipping it off to betas, but tomorrow might be the day 👀
