Happy Halloween all! Guess it's time to frolic in the 100 Acre Wood <3

My beautiful old man picking out a toy, telling me he is still a young pup at heart.

It's totally normal to make a party-sized plate full of appetizers and then eat it yourself... right? Please, I need this to be normal.

I did it! I grew food! Look at these beauties! Behold my god-like powers!!!

I am so very tired, but I met so many wonderful people at #worldcon! I can't be more thankful and delighted to have met my people and engaged in my community <3 Thank you so much for welcoming this little introvert with open arms.

I'm so excited to meet people at #WorldCon! I'm prepared with a brigade of bookwyrms for new friends

Food pics? How millennial of me. The squash blossoms and nasturtium are from my garden.

A very merry Unbirthday? Curiouser and Curiouser.

It's birthday picture time! Happy 1st Birthday, boys.

They've been caught canoodling!

I snapped this pic of my three boys the other day. They bring me so much joy.

#Daily100 Day 2.

#Daily100 Day 1. It's not much, but it's mine.

I've been on a sushi making kick lately. I am stupidly proud of being able to use some of the things I've grown in actual food. The microgreens, radishes, and nasturtium blossoms came straight from my garden beds.

I went cherry blossom viewing, and I just can't get over how beautiful these trees are 🌸

Goal for the #NovelGauntlet is 10k on this new project! Life has been bananas so I’m still trying to ease back into a more regular writing schedule #GauntletChat

Honestly, the mmc’s best friend is surprising me and I adoreeee him so much. This is also book 2 of the demon duet, so once drafted, I can focus on editing book 1 for my rapid release!

I'll be hanging out in the #NovelGauntlet Discord. Hope to see and cheer on all you lovely folks there! #GauntletChat

#GauntletChat A5: I'm here on Bluesky more than anywhere else! And I'm in the #NovelGauntlet Discord. For everything else, hit up my Linktree: linktr.ee/cassrmorris

My goal is to complete a historically-inspired novella that began as a short story last year. I am trying to set a realistic goal this time, and if I break up the writing into manageable chunks.

Giving women the opportunity to be badass, bloody, and brutal in a way that media growing up refused to offer. We got more of it now but NOT ENOUGH. Also making up planets. I could make up planets all day #gauntletchat

Favorite? Shoot. Umm. I quite love drafting, and I adore action scenes. Yeap, action scenes is my final answer! My D&D roots just crave it I guess XD #GauntletChat

Did not time my errands right so joining late. How fitting that the late on this question because the answer is time management! Carving out enough time to write, especially during the week when I usually go "ugh, too exhausted for more screen time" & then don't write. #GauntletChat

#GauntletChat A4: I like creating vivid characters and then crashing them into each other in various ways. My favorite scenes are always the moments of high emotional conflict -- confrontations, confessions, challenges. #NovelGauntlet

Nailing the mood. This sequel follows [SPOILERS] and Sook has changed a lot as a person. Keeping her character intact while sending her down a path of darkness and rage is going to be tough. I'm also introducing a new POV who is a clone of hers so that's gonna be fun #gauntletchat

Finish my current wip, roughly 30k! As for my intro - hi! I am a dark romantasy and dark paranormal romance author. Hoping to eventually do dark romance too. Basically, everything dark 😈 #gauntletchat

Hello #GauntletChat! I’m angela, a writer of fantasy and sci-fi inspired by anime and video games. For the #NovelGauntlet I’m planning on working on my project, The Frog Witch, which is not about a frog who is a witch, unfortunately, but there is a frog god (and a mushroom god) 🍄‍🟫🐸

#GauntletChat A3: Not constantly setting myself back by tossing out huge chunks of words like I've periodically done for the past six months. 😅 #NovelGauntlet

It’s a rewrite. Which means I need to tear up all those words that have hardened like concrete and convince my brain the path goes in a different direction. #GauntletChat

I am very excited to write this John Wick x DOOM story of women's wrongs and revenge. It asks the question "how far will you fall to get your love back?" And the answer is very, very, very far #gauntletchat

#GauntletChat A2: I'm really enjoying writing an enemies-to-lovers with real bite, where they *really are* enemies, not just rivals and not just by circumstance. Their cut-to-the-bone fights are so fun to write, and it makes actually getting them together so much more satisfying. #NovelGauntlet

I'm most excited about the thrill of completing a new project, as well as working on something new! I spent a lot of time with my first novel, so I'm itching to work on something entirely separate from it, and really put my mettle to the test with fast drafting. #GauntletChat

Greetings #gauntletchat! You may know me from the dreams you try to forget, the half-witnessed shadows flitting across midnight streets, or that one time i threw up on a bus in Seattle from motion sickness. I'm Val and im going to be working on the sequel to my upcoming debut, Boom Goes the Bride!

Oh, it’s the monsters. Love me some monsters and monster fights. There is just something about taking nightmares, giving them form, and sicking them on my protagonists. #GauntletChat

I’m taking a crack at the much-needed developmental edits in my second act. Whole swaths of rewriting will be happening. It will be hard work but I have a clear vision and the delete key. #GauntletChat

Hello! I'm Cass, fantasy author, and for #NovelGauntlet I'll be continuing work on Shattered Souls, a politically-drenched romantasy that I'd really love to have a completed draft of before June. #GauntletChat

Hey #GauntletChat! I'm Linn Silver this time around & for the Novel Gauntlet I'll be finishing my first novel under this pen name: BETWEEN YOU, ME, & THE MOONLIT SEA. ✨ Bell is a gumiho who only wants one thing: true love-- & they might've found it. The problem? They want to kill & eat him too.

I’m Pome I like writing, sewing, and obsessing over my dogs. For the Gauntlet I’ll be working on my YA fantasy novel about necromancy, corruption, and false religions. And of course how my teen protagonists stop a necromantic war. I love it. It has monsters. #GauntletChat

Did I use Valentine's Day as an excuse to make meat flowers? Yes, yes I did.

Sprouts! I have sprouts!
