After work, in the hour between when I get home and my wife gets home, or if it's quiet at work and I can whip my tablet out. #GhostPit #GhostPitParty #GhostPitHype

Y'all, it's happening: I, the ultimate pantser, am...*gasp*...writing an outline. We'll see if this helps, and how long it takes for me to start ignoring it. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky #writer

I don't know who needs to see this, but here is a block list for US government propaganda: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I have a general plot, now I need to sink my teeth into character development. Nobody even has a name yet, whoops. 😅 #weeknightwriters

Always one I've created. Historically I enjoy existing in those more. This one is shaping up to look like my childhood on a mountainside... #weeknightwriters #writingcommunity #booksky #wip #drafting

It's October and time for a new WIP, which means I want to write a gothic sapphic vampire fantasy. Someone tell me there's a market for it or I'll make one. #writing #writesky #writingcommunity #writer #gothic #fantasy #lgbt #drafting

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

First time making an #AgentGuide/#AgentsGuide! Very excited to start #querying this month for my adult #fantasy. If you like: ✝️ recovering from religion ♀️ F/F power couples ✨ magic as its own character 🌘 desert gothics ⚔️ gods that can't get it together Blood of Sands is for you! #AmQuerying

A woman worshiping the one true god has her faith shaken by a woman worshiping the eight true goddesses. When their gods clash, the world as they know it will be at stake: although neither is sure it needs saving anymore. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #ND

When Taiya has her faith shaken by an irresistible woman who prays to idols, she must decide whether to join the brewing war of clashing gods or succumb to attraction and renounce all she believes in. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #ND

Taiya knows that there is one true god, but this is called into question when she meets Mara, an irresistible woman who keeps the eight true goddesses. They join the war between their gods, where they must choose whether to save their world and protect their beliefs or to follow their hearts. #DVPit

Late to the party as always, but! I just finished my second draft last week. It's out with betas now while I work on the query package, so the next idea is only just beginning to be a thought in my head. I think I'd like to do a gothic fantasy, sapphic as always. #DVParty

Full manuscript out with betas. Query package out for edits. List of agents to query is building. Social media posts percolating. Stuff is happening and I'm so excited. #AmQuerying #fantasy #writer #writingcommunity #BookSky

Alright, #WritingCommunity, it is that exciting time: I'm looking for #BetaReaders! If you love #fantasy, female rage, and toppling patriarchal religions, I'd love to get your opinion on my recently- finished work. Partials or fulls welcome. Thanks, everyone!

Y'ALL THE FIRST DRAFT IS DONE (after I rewrote it entirely) #writesky #writingcommunity #writer

PACIFIC RIM x THE DARKNESS OUTSIDE US A telekinetic crystal miner (and part-time thief) is sent to destroy a rogue AI at his planet's core. If he fails, a sentient labyrinth consumes his home, his family, and his mission partner—the hot-headed prince he’s falling in love with. #QueerPit #YA #SF #D

A politician's daughter worshiping the conquering singular god and a pirate captain sailing the desert skies seeking the revival of the Eight Mothers and their magic couldn't be more different. Their fate brings them together, but will their religion tear them apart? #QueerPit #EF #F #A

I don't really consider tropes at all. If it's done well I can usually enjoy just about any trope in the fantasy genre, with the exception of romance additions. #pretendpanel #writing #author #writesky #booksky

Catching up on this! As with what I read, I pretty much exclusively read and write high fantasy. I've found what I enjoy, and it's such an expansive genre where the only limitation is your imagination. #pretendpanel #writer #booksky

Honestly, not much. I read and write pretty much exclusively high fantasy, because that's what sets my soul on fire. I can enjoy a good scifi or low fantasy here and there, but anything set in the real world just doesn't grab me the same way. #pretendpanel #writerscommunity #writingcommunity

Absolutely! One of the best ways to get better as a writer is to read. I also feel like a passion for writing should come from reading. Fall in love with stories, learn what makes them good, and learn where your voice can shine. #pretendpanel #writesky #author

No normal person decides to do their first round of edits while still wrapping up the first draft. But here I am. 🫠 #writing #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky #author #fantasy #firstdraft

Quiet here, but I've been 2k+ words a day for the last week or two and I'm so happy about it! #WritingCommunity #writesky #booksky #author #book #fantasy

NYC folks! Please check this out if you're unsure about voting, or not sure who to vote for. My partner and I voted already, and we're hoping you will, too. This is a really important election for us! #nyc #election #vote

Latest brainstorming session was so helpful but it is always an uphill battle (because now I need to edit the first half of the book... again...😅) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #author #BookSky

I'm finding that, without an event to keep me on course, I'm terrible at being online. But I had a great brainstorming session with a friend last night, and we made a major breakthrough in one of the MC's motivations. Progress is happening! #WriteSky #author #booksky

#writingcommunity , if anyone is interested in joining a writing focused discord server, I recently found a new (18+) channel, Writing Adjacent. Low key, no drama, and a place to talk about the craft of writing and the industry. discord.gg/u3ehSZ8mmw

I've been so bad at being online lately, but I'm finally making progress in my #WIP, so I'm still counting myself as winning. #author #writesky #writerscommunity

#writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #author

Ironically, both Mara and Taiya hate waiting... just for very different reasons. #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit

Havard thinks the book is about godless heathens who destroyed the world, abandoned their Mothers, and are now refusing to take accountability and atone for their sins. In his defense, there *are* gods... they just aren't perfect, either. #CampRevPit #CRPBrimstone #fantasy #writesky

I would be the weird, eccentric witch who has a single scene but they're so weird you want more purely for entertainment's sake. #CampRevPit #CRPBrimstone

Taiya’s only weapons were lipstick and two daggers. #CampRevPit #CRPBrimstone

Tranquility didn’t sit right with Mara. It was a stranger to her, and one that set her teeth on edge. Chaos was her home. A familiar face she knew well. A loving embrace to fall into. Chaos was safety, in a way that peacefulness never would be. (Several lines oops) #CampRevPit #CRPBrimstone

I have thunderbirds, and they're pretty freaking badass. #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit #fantasy #writer

*I have no idea where I'm going #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit #writesky #writing #pantser #fantasy #author

Mara wants the next thrill: making a sale, winning a fight, or outfoxing someone, it doesn't matter, as long as she comes out on top with dramatic flair. Taiya wants the job done quickly and paid. She seeks her mother's approval and to surpass her own previous benchmarks. #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit

Good morning! I've got my WIP to work on. It's about two-thirds drafted and slow going. Blood of Sands follows Mara, a human woman adept at bottling magic for use and sale, as she unravels the mystery of why her gods have disappeared from the world. #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit #writesky #fantasy

Oscillating wildly between preparing an acceptance speech and preparing to go live in the woods beyond human contact, especially because I can't even be online at noon today. 😅 #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #writesky #author

No matter the outcome, we all wrote books and made wonderful friends. This is such a wholesome community to be part of, and the contest was worth it just for that. Thanks everyone, so much love to you all!! #RevPitWaiting

For anybody who wants to keep in touch- thanks to Ann for making this and for including me! 🖤

I have to thank my partner first, because they are so supportive in every way. My beta reader and good friend, Charlie. And all the incredible new authors I've met through this event! The community has been overwhelmingly welcoming and it's been amazing meeting everyone. Thank you!! #RevPitWaiting

I have another WIP that I'm working on. I'm going to finish that draft, edit heavily, get some feedback, and start querying again. My ultimate goal is to be traditionally published. #RevPitWaiting

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for all of your support so far! @soumiroy1.bsky.social and I are waiting for the first transfer to hit her account. Once it does we'll post an update with all our receipts. Please keep sharing (and donating!) in the meantime! gofund.me/9a83b93c
