Update: Appointment went well. Found another doctor who's really interested in actually helping. Downside is I'm scheduled for an exploratory procedure in a couple of weeks. Beenjamin's over here, reminding me that it's good to be proactive about one's health, even if it turns out to be minor.

Happy #FaveLineFriday, everyone! I'll be out, sadly, so in the meantime, share your favorite lines you've worked on this week and support each other. ;) Be back soon! #writesky #writingsky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writingprompt

As it turns out, the abdominal pain I've been feeling for months was *not* a misbehaving ovary, as I thought, but rather a gut issue. Heading to another doc in an hour. 🫠

I think part of it is that I'm writing a chapter in which Mick finds out that the zizzun have just been building in Sanctuary without the dragons' permission, because bees need no permission what are you talking about This is, in other words, extremely cute and also research.

I've been laughing at this bee video for the past 24 hours, and I feel like I need to share it. (I'm so sorry to SarahCsBees for laughing.) Tbh, it furthers the argument that if bees are unhappy, they'll just eff right off. youtube.com/shorts/YHrTU...

The more I hear about bookish Threads drama AND the more I give in to curiosity mid-beestagram scroll to look at a recommended Threads post, the less I understand why people go to Threads, ngl. Am I missing something? What *is* the Threads vibe, in actuality?

I have not yet found the arospec and acespec bookish niche on TikTok so I have decided I'm gonna be a Problem about it. Reply to this post with your favorite arospec and/or acespec books. Self-recs are totally welcome! (I will probably pass on reading anything spicy, but I'd still like to know!)

We don't have half a draft, but we *do* have a blurb I don't hate! 🎉 I spent three hours on it. I needed it for the form only people signed up to my Beehiiv will see.

I was outside a grand total of 1 hour, and then dark clouds started rolling in, reminding me that I did not, in fact, check the weather before leaving. :') So now I'm spending the afternoon on my couch, getting in some supervised writing with the boss. This is an elaborate excuse for a Been pic.

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

Tiny bees of early spring! I'm slowly getting better at Tiny Bee ID & did a little rundown of the genera of bees you're likely to see. Dime, bumble, & honeybee for scale. granted, this species range is for March/April & it is now May so I'm running behind, but bit by bit, I'm building up resources!

Just a Very Normal Bee for #WorldRobberFlyDay #InverteFest

Another 2-for-1 special for #DrawAFlowerADay and #InverteFest! Look at this little cutie!

And now, your moment of Zen…

Just the sweetest little ground nesting bee! #InverteFest 🌿

Bringing bumblebear back!

#FaveLineFriday ‘ “Tink, will we be friends forever?” She didn't answer, and she didn't need to. Her, Peter, and Neverland knew the answer. ‘ #WritingCommunity

This is from a first draft of one of my side projects. (Apologies for any and all rough edges.) Glouson is a living staff, who's head looks like an old sage. Julie is a free study at the magical academy and did not realize certain spells were required to pass on exams.

"I'm not admitting to it either, to us it seems you're the ones holding a grudge against us if you dare accuse us of such an offense to your egos." Tiamat crossed their arms, Horus gave Tiamat a searching look. "Go ahead. Look with your Eye of Truth as long as you want." #FaveLineFriday (1/2🧵)

#FaveLineFriday - May 8 “Here they are, confrère. We’ve found Talon’s documents. Praise be to the Goddess…We’ve. Motherfucking. FOUND. Them!” *** From my new #wip Deja's Secret, Vol. 2 of the dark MOC vampire/human femme warrior The Brethren series.

Happy #FaveLineFriday! Cinder is the real star of the show, here #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky #writingprompt #ocsky

"You're speaking in riddles," Gilly told her. "I'm speaking in reckonings. In retributions. In righteous rage." She placed the bottle on the table between the three of them, placed her chin in her hands, and marveled at the small creation. - When Morning Comes #FaveLineFriday

#FavLineFriday New WIP... 🫠😁 This interaction between my MCs when they first meet, and a bonus moodboard.

From BK: “Call me ‘inquisitive apprentice’ until your teeth fall out, but I might have predicted the incursion, and if I were taken seriously as I should be, his death might have been prevented.” Meldryn scoffed. “Oh, that’s a lofty opinion you have of yourself, Rushak.” #favelinefriday

#writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky #writingprompt #FaveLineFriday #CourtroomGhost MC gets a job offer! Too bad he's already employed. And in the hospital. "I want your help," she said. "Why?" "You know where all the bodies are buried." That was true. Still... "Right now I can't even move."

'*That's Avebury's cologne alright, but he's not the only person in the city who wears that scent. Could be someone else.*  And if she believed that, she had a bridge to sell herself, because it wasn't just the bloody cologne she was picking up.'

#FaveLineFriday I have TWO favorites after a sudden epiphany, and they're both in this snippet 🥺 #🌸🦌 from Beautiful, But Deadly "What kind of woman bears no sons for her husband? What kind of bride talks like she thinks she's one of the men?" "Yours." And "🍎🥀😔" cw domestic abuse, misgendering

(🎵Paninaro! Paninaro, oh ohhhh oh!🎵) From this wip, Penelope (Krainos's mentor) is a rogue, Xenon is whatever has a brawler subclass (monk? fighter?), and Krainos is a bard. Cupid the Drachien is a ranger, and Dasher the Kobold is also a rogue. Slippery lil thief, that one! #FaveLineFriday

Mick: They're handy. (He grew up with terrestrial mages, so he's known from birth that plants have many uses. However, his favorite is jasmine, because Eleanor wears jasmine perfume.) Every zizzun ever: YES. ALL FLOWERS. GIVE THEM ANYTHING. *four bee person grabby hands*

I've decided* to stay in for most of the weekend to hardcore reset myself. As such, main goals for the weekend: - Catch up with a beta - Catch up with the FaveLineFriday tag - Catch up with DMs - Write (Subtasks: Clean up 18, actually finish 19) - Post the sign-up for alpha reading access to TNS

From today's Flash Fiction Friday story on Patreon comes #FaveLineFriday Snip. “The drunken boisterousness vanished, replaced by a sharp, ugly heat.” Read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/kingpi... #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky #writingprompt

#FaveLineFriday This is from a spoiler character's POV, but I quite like the vibe. If my cast formed a DnD party - Acanthus - warlock Cypress - paladin Azalea - healer Austin - rogue Avery - bard Lykaia - another rogue Julienne - fighter/bard multiclass Abyss - warlock Ebony - artificer

#FaveLineFriday Lucifer is incensed that Freya is acting on a promise, and that leads to a small argument. As usual

Good to know humans have always been humans.

Managed 500 words tonight, which is not bad, considering: 1. I'm coming down with something! Probably a cold! Throat is sore, sinuses stuffed, that's about it. 2. Busy season still going. Will keep going until June. I am very tired. At least the pain is fading.
