Finally wrapped up Talia by @servantand.bsky.social and this genuinely surprised me. It seems extremely superficial at the beginning of the book and that takes an immediate left turn! I will be finishing this series for sure. #booksky 📚💙 📚🪐

#WIPSnips The word for September 28 is INK The word "ink" pops up a few times in THE RILL LORD, but this is one of my favorite uses in the entire series. Hans and Dorilian discuss what a human life amounts to in the tale of the World. #epicfantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#Septopolis 28 How about this early draft of a map I'm having made of Gustan Manor, the town, and the surrounding region? The final map will appear in THE RILL LORD. Map by @domino44maps.bsky.social #epicfantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Is my bread plate clean yet?

"And what of you?" Robyn was never one to deny her curiosity. “Between the green and gold or the black and white?” "I'm a bit of a chameleon, I suppose." A blurry smear of spilled ink felt like a more appropriate description. - A Dance of Bow & Blade #WIPSnips

Good morning Bluesky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading the final chapters of the excellent delicious fantasy A Sword of Good and Ruin by Ann Smith Spark. What are you reading at the moment?

In my WIP, When Morning Comes, Maybell comes across where her mother recorded her & her brothers' heights over the years: "She had him write our names and ages and Merrick carved them. Fifteen years, nine of us total, and she could remember which line was whose and when. Can you imagine that?"

Happy #haikuSaturday!

Today's very weird reason for insomnia: I have outlines for 5 things pinned to my project board, but I haven't decided which one to work on next. Apparently, this is cause for my brain to switch on at 3:30 am and begin obsessing over the lack of a decision. 😖😅 Good morning, everyone!

Proud to announce—on behalf of the amazing folk over at Corrosion Zine—the cover of the upcoming first issue of this new project for Goths by Goths! An excerpt of my short story “Blood & Hairspray” will be found within its pages alongside the great work of over 30 artists from across the globe! 🖤

#QueerPrompts 26. Autumn writing goals I just want to write 😭😭 I am so tired of feeling too exhausted to form any substantial words. I just want to write or do something productive with my finished novel that needs formatted

When Morning Comes has certain characters dealing with past trauma & there are things they don't quite remember because of it, which adds to some frustration & messes with them further because they're left with just the feelings & not the tangibility of the memory, as awful as that memory might be.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 27 Saturday Snippet This one's from Exile, book 1 in The Caein Legacy. The main character has a secret... More about Exile here: buy.bookfunnel.com/hl96rolrsb

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

For the Filipino readers overseas who are looking to support Filipino authors, I started compiling a list of titles that can be purchased internationally, and I'm always open to more recs! ☺️ Also looking for bookclubs and bookstores, as well as authors w/ Patreon, Ko-fi or Kickstarter. 💙📚 #BookSky

Okay, so...anyone here feeling inclined to beta read Untwined? ✨ - I'll send it end of October the latest BUT I need the feedback by January - knowledge of the first book, Imbued, is necessary, I can send it to you also - mostly need large scale stuff, what feels right/wrong, what's missing info ⬇️

So... continued working on a short story this morning. Researched for almost an hour to name Fairy puberty. Then another half hour for something related to emeralds for the name of the other main character. Then I started writing again. 😁

Grab your spooky read 🖤 Five short stories of the eerie, tragic, and macabre ⏳💀 One novelette of dark waves and folkloric vibes 🌊🖤 Five creepy tales from the garden 🤎🪱 Ebook from 99c and available on paperback too! Find them here: www.karenlykkebo.com/shortstory 📚💙
