Y'all, work has been so busy today I haven't had time to get on, but... but... but... my ace, cyberpunk Snow White retelling is out TOMORROW and I want you all to see it! Universal Link: books2read.com/CyberSnow Itch(.)io: aebrossbooks.itch.io/cybersnow #WritingCommunity 🌈🚀💫 📢📚

Writing this chapter is fun because it's the first time we see that from the perspective of the crown and saints, *Mick* is the villain, but he doesn't see himself as that, and also, the actual villain from *his* perspective is a showboater who thinks *they're* the chosen one/plays that straight.

Killing time before I have to shuttle off to the sleep clinic by watching KrimsonRogue's latest ungodly long book review. Anyway, new reaction image.

Aaaand speaking of massively busy, if you've tuned in to the writing streams this past week, you'll already know this, BUT there will be no Tea Writes tomorrow. Sorry, all, but family will be around. :') Most likely at this point, the next stream will be Night Writes, this coming Wednesday.

. . . I just realized I never queued up this week's FaveLineFriday post. :') It's been one of those days, though. Like, barely had enough time to breathe kinds of days. Eventually, things'll chill, but in the meantime, so sorry for no post!

Times are always tough with this many issues, but I gotta be honest... we're especially at a choke point right now. Anything you can give would gain a lot of gratitude. gofund.me/2d5250128

#weeknightwriters Not to like, shill my stuff, but I would love ARC reader sign ups for my forthcoming debut novel, a contemporary sports romance. I've made the ARC sign up form as chill as possible with no review requirements - just want to share my story for free! forms.gle/1svcBBxmUFf8...

#WIPSnips Thanks to the Eldanan royalty, there are more instances of "queen" and "royal" than one can shake a stick at here, yet my favorite, naturally, is the queen bee of St. Nadia. From The Nameless Song, a WIP about a guy who turns into a dragon (and bees, apparently). #amwriting

#WeeknightWriters Nothing recent/upcoming, but I *am* going to shamelessly advertise the upcoming worldbuilding game I'm running in April. :V Join us. Talk about food in your WIPs. *It will be fun.* bsky.app/profile/jaxd...

#WeeknightWriters Welllll after reading some of the responses to the other posts, all I really want to see from y'all is you taking care of yourselves. :'D Pace yourselves, and don't be ashamed if you need to take a rest! /says the person who loves taking their own advice, for sure

#WeeknightWriters PACE. MYSELF. Tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be ungodly busy, and then the week after's going to be packed because I'm also launching a worldbuilding game, but you know. One thing at a time. Don't wear myself out. Take breaks.

#WeeknightWriters Getting things done in terms of writing stuff! Like, tackled The Bee Chapter, switched in the new name, started planning what I need to do, etc. But also? The weather's been *gorgeous*, and the bee and I are starting to see flowers. It's been too long. :'D

#WeeknightWriters I admit my foremost snag (other than the fact that I have too much to do/not enough hours in the day) is more physical. :') I've been struggling with pain for months (I think a swap in meds triggered it), but I'm working on it with docs. Still, emotional support would be nice. :'D

#WeeknightWriters Well, it helps that I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to think about things. 🫠 That and I've been working on re/connecting with folks offline. Sometimes, logging off and hanging out with people face-to-face helps you remember you're not in this alone, you know?

#WeeknightWriters Hello! I'm the recently renamed Jax Devora, a fantasy writer who's working on a WIP about a dragon (ace guy) who turns into a dragon (flying lizard) and a few other ideas full of bees. This week's been hella busy, but I am hanging in there! Somehow! How is it Thursday already?

#WIPSnips Mick has a strategy for defusing wild Karens, and that's literally straight-up flattery. From The Nameless Song, a WIP about a dragon (ace guy) who turns into a dragon (flying lizard). The dragon in this case used to be a waiter, if it helps. (Anything for tips, amirite?) #amwriting

In less than one week, we'll be serving up some worldbuilding delights! Join us in April for #BonApriltit, to sink your teeth into food-themed worldbuilding prompts! #writingprompt #writingprompts #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky

Spring has finally sprouted, and Beenjamin is excited for something fresh and new! Join him (and me) tonight for NIGHT WRITES, a writing stream where we're planting new words and growing those chapters! Stream starts at 8:30 PM ET. Word sprints start at 9. #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky

It begins! 🐝🐝 And thanks to everyone who brought up the MK comparisons. Ngl, that was the thing that helped me decide for certain. I am def not going to regret that. 😂

#WIPSnips Eleanor has a knack for getting what she wants, and unfortunately, Mick is not in any position to resist (not that he was *before* he turned into a giant lizard with feline tendencies). From The Nameless Song, a WIP about a dragon (ace guy) who turns into a dragon (flying lizard).

Folks who've been watching my streams know I've been toying with the idea of a new pen name to fit my theme (which is bees, apparently). Still Jax as always, but for the surname...? -Devora -Mieles -"Have you considered this other bee pun?" -"Man, just stick with what you have."

Drop 3 recs for the #transrightsreadathon! 💗Woman and Other Creatures - Dani Finn (short story/novella collection full of fantasy and sci-fi sapphic trans love) 🦇Night at the Vampire Castle by Hari Conner (Choose your own adventure romance with vampires!) 🏳️‍⚧️Before Gender (Nonfiction History!)

CyberSnow comes out Tuesday, March 31, 2026. If a cyberpunk novella retelling of Snow White with ace, no-heat romance, a trans MC/LI, & good trouble is your thing, check it out ;) Universal Link: books2read.com/CyberSnow Itch(.)io: aebrossbooks.itch.io/cybersnow 📢📚 🌈🚀💫

Counter-Progamming! Trans indie filmmakers, 'tubers, animators, camera junkies! Drop links to your work in the thread below! What can your fellow gender weirdos and their collaborators watch instead of transphobic wizard shite?

Important update, fresh from the lunch break: Flowers spotted! Still no bees, though. Except one very large one.

Instead of hate-watching the TERF wizard lady's latest bullshit, you should read trans books

“You,” Mick breathed.

#FavLineFriday So I’m cheating a little bit, but and putting a scene I’m really proud of. It’s from my short horror story, Drifting Waves Bonus Q:My Peter Pan AU will jump between the early 1800s and 1900s. I won’t say much else but it’s a project I’m very excited to begin #WritingPrompt

#FaveLineFriday #AwesomeCharacters #WIPSnips from the romantasy “My life Majiri”

I love Cupid (lady with dragon wings). She's an antagonist AND an ally, it just doesn't feel like it while she's making her knife's presence known. This is the longest conversation she has with Krainos (in a burlap sack) all story; she's much more present in Xenon's POV. Pegasatyr/Minotaur #WIPsnips

#WIPSnips I shared part of this for last FaveLineFriday (another tag), but I'm sharing it again because *listen*. From The Nameless Song, a story about a dragon (ace guy) who turns into a dragon (flying lizard). #amwriting

Chapter fourteen wrapped up! As tempted as I am to continue: 1. I am le tired. 2. We are just at the cusp of a battle, and this sounds like the right place to stop. I cannot say what "this" is, so instead, have a line you'll probably see again this Friday:

The only thing I care about in the Steam sale rn is the Spirit City DLC. (Alternatively: New work music just dropped!)

Good morning #WIPSnips!! I had nothing prepared for "lily"— so just for today... a sneak peek of Frogbo Act 2 🤫 Frogbo won't wake up. The narrator, trapped inside the head of our hapless hero, isn't taking it well. Sleep, Frogbo. 🐸💤 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting #Frogbo

I *want* to say Mick's story arc. He goes from trying to play the chosen one trope straight to being creative with his role, and consequently, he says a lot about hope and community and joy being valid ways of fighting—all while Bugs Bunnying a revolution. But really, it's the bees. :V

In April, on Earth Day (22nd), will be #HopePit! An event for #HopePunk, #SolarPunk, and #CliFi! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writers #AmWriting #AmQuerying

a look at the annotated hardcover of THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS you can enter to win starting Wednesday bc Wednesday is Keeper's first birthday! my annotations include doodles, behind-the-scenes looks at the writing of the book, snarky comments, and more #author

#queerwriters The rest of chapter 14 and maybe 15. There's a battle coming up hot, so that'll be fun. Also: Graphics for BonApriltit, a worldbuilding game I'm making. Maybe also decide whether or not I'm participating in Posterpit. And survive Saturday. (Family visit + appointment + sleep study.)

#WIPSnips No lily but plenty of other flowers—including jasmine, Eleanor's signature scent. It's not a comfort here, where something else is forcing Mick to do something he physically shouldn't be able to do. (From The Nameless Song, a WIP about a guy who turns into a dragon.) #amwriting

Watching Iron Chef while making graphics for next month. (I did not forget!) Beenjamin is a little disappointed that we can't find either of the honey battle episodes anywhere. :( So as consolation, I'm showing him the *other* episodes a bee might like.

This is still a totally awesome thing that could use your support ;)

Coming out on March 31st, 2026, The Need for Dandelions is an MM Fantasy Romance about two men forced to work together despite their differences in the face of a crisis! Cover by the amazing @nooskadraws.bsky.social Preorder Today! 🌸⚔️ Uni link: books2read.com/u/meYkPE Itch: bit.ly/3N1RDWk

Took a long walk today, but alas, still no flowers (and therefore bees) in the neighborhood. :') On the positive side, it's a beautiful day, and there are now bees in TNS. (We got to the part about St. Nadia.)

You know, it's a teeny bit hard to inspire a revolution or whatever else Mick is supposed to do when you're convinced you're trash and are therefore prone to self-sabotage.

#WIPSnips No "library" but plenty of "archives," usually tied into a future Mick thinks is inevitable for his best friend (and crush) Eleanor. One that he accepts doesn't include him. From The Nameless Song, a story about a dragon (ace guy) who turns into a dragon (flying lizard). #amwriting

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

I am slowly learning the general cadence of beestagram's calendar. To summarize: -Summer: Cute bees doing work -Fall: Cute honey bees getting drunk and murdering their brothers -Winter: Warming honey bees up very cutely (otherwise they die) -Spring: Bumblebee queens waking up . . . and then mating

And we're LIVE! Join us for the next couple of hours as we chill to lofi vibes and lowkey word sprints. (Word sprints start in ~30 minutes.) Click here to join our chat: www.youtube.com/live/PIBNwcx... #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky
