This is going to be very, very specific beef, but Luxembourgish orthography is fairly new as it was always more a spoken language so they are still tweaking things to this day. So tell me, why are they creating rules WITH A MILLION EXCEPTIONS??? We could have had a language that is easily spelled,

I have been reliably informed that Bluesky is where my fellow asexuals are, however, THIS DOESN'T HAVE AN ALGORITHM and I don't know how to reach you. I write #asexual and acespec romance and I'm looking for people who might enjoy my books, AND I'm looking for YOUR books that I might enjoy!

I'm relistening to the Hunger Games books for the first time in way over a decade and I had not realized before this that this spans the entirety of the US map 😬 For some reason I thought humanity had retreated to a smaller part of the US....

My little audio drama project has reached a big, big number this weekend 🙏

The Heart Pyre has reached its first 10k downloads 🥳 I wanted to thank you all so much for supporting this little show and following along with Rena’s quest! It’s been such a delight to see the show grow in the last few years and to have people help shape the story.

Okay for…reasons…rec me your favorites, with as much overlap as possible: - low to no spice MM romance - fiber arts fiction - cozy fiction - small town fiction - midwestern queer fiction - no third act breakup - ownvoices autism rep - asexual rep, especially if the aspec character is masc

We introduced this game at Luxcon last year where we round up all our literary guests & everyone has to write a subject on a piece of paper they're quite knowledgeable about (the more specific the better) & then everything gets pooled into a hat and you pick a random subject to talk about for 3 min.

During my ADHD diagnosis the doc kept asking about me messing stuff up because of being distracted & asked for concrete examples which I couldn't really give because of all the memory problems (you know, the ones that ADHD creates...) so it never really felt like I fit their criteria but ever since

EasterCon this year is in the same hotel as an anime con and it's a fun game trying to figure out which type of nerd the people I walk past are 👀 Also they let us use their vendor/artist hall so I can now lose twice as much money YAY 🎉

For once I'm going to be smart and I'm ONLY taking my ereader with me on holiday instead of 3 physical books I wouldn't finish anyway in under a week

im dead serious when i say fucking around (starting cool projects) is about 2% of the effort required in finding out (finishing projects), this is mostly why you don't see a lot of finished projects

A Blazing Bond can now be found on Storygraph and Goodreads 🥳

We’re 18 days away from the release of A Blazing Bond, the second book in my epic fantasy The Heart Pyre series! I wanted to see the new cover next to the one for the first book & I’m so, so happy with both of them! #indiebooks #indieauthors

I've started listening to the audiobook of a beloved childhood book and between each chapter they have decided to include a minute long music segment that sounds like a one-man-band falling down a set of stairs??? Most baffling creative choice for an audiobook

For anyone who's created a name glossary for a book series before, how did you go at it? How did you determine who to include? If a name is only mentioned in passing once, do they get included? Do unnamed people from previous books get included? #writingcommunity #indiewriters

This is so goddamn sad to read. I genuinely hope the school staff have her back & the parents complain. None of this should ever be happening.

Every time I announce a new release I need a designated adult to remind me of my time blindness and that the deadlines that I've set myself are unrealistic and will lead to me having a stress-induced heart attack

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Being a primary school librarian has really turned me away from the notion of "book smell = good" because you wouldn't believe the kind of smells books can develop after having been read by 50 kids that don't really make sure whether anything will get on that book or not...

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI: I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

I stand before you once again with a very specific request for book recommendations, this time for an M/M romance between a king and knight, ideally where the king is already a bit older (in his 50s or so) 👑 ideally also with a strong plot 🗡 I really hope that exist somewhere 😔

For the first time I get to voice act in someone else's project! If you like dark sci-fi I'd highly recommend Syntax. It's a great show and I had so much fun playing Lysila for them!

A Blazing Bond will be released on April 16th! I am so happy with how the cover turned out, created once again by the wonderful @antlerclad.bsky.social ! I honestly can’t wait to hold a physical copy of it in my hand and put it next to its predecessor! #coverreveal #fantasybooks #indiefantasy

Love Lethal, Death Divine is a dark fantasy love story featuring star-crossed lovers, court intrigue and Slavic folklore. You can request it on NetGalley and add it to your Goodreads want-to-read shelf now.

Cover reveal for book two in the Heart Pyre series, A Blazing Bond, coming soon, probably already tomorrow 👀 The book will be out in April and I'm so excited to finally see this book come to life! I've been working on it for so long and honestly, I can't wait to finally start working on book 3.

I always thought I had a very robust immune system. Got humbled hard once I started working in a primary school ☠️

Completely unrelated to any TV shows that might currently be very popular, if I were to watch hockey during the olympics, which teams are the most interesting to keep up with?

Ever since I learned that the little hat on top of vowels in French used to be an s I keep trying to find the equivalent English word that still has the s, like: Hôtel - Hostel Hôpital - Hospital Forêt - Forest Pâtiserie - Pastry I don't want to look up a wordlist, I just like

New year, new bookshelf 🐱📚 [ #booksky #cuteart #artshop ]

On my endless quest to not include christianity into my fantasy novel I have realised today that I technically can't use "to fall from grace" as an expression... I think I'm gonna let this one slip through the cracks though 😮‍💨 (Except if someone has a good alternative for me)

Last year I read over 60 books (well, listened to the vast majority of them) and I think that's over the maximum I can take emotionally. It just feels like it overfills my brain to constantly be in a new fictional story??? I think I need to reread more old books this year 😔

Sometimes I have to remember that I'm talking to 6 year olds at work and that they do not understand the legal difference between a marriage and a civil partnership and also that they do not remember the lockdown...
