I've been testing colouring styles for my comic, and while I do love a good polished look (left), it's just *not* time effective. So now I'm testing sketch colouring instead (right) and I think I'm in love 👀 I would clean it up more and add some more highlights, but this one was just a tester.

Just some sketches 💅🏻 plus my new artist watermark/tag that I only made today, so only one piece has it 😂 #artist #sketches

Abigail, #oc 🖤

Here's some recent art pic dump, I really vary my style which I know, I know, artists should stick to one to be recognisable, but I can't! And I don't do every style a lot so there's no point making an account for each one. #artist

I've done a tiny bit of a profile update, because I'm going to start posting more art over here 🖤 I'm working mostly on art stuff now. I'm primarily active on threads (theoryly_art) but I'll try to post a little more here!

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO BOOK 2!!! Do you enjoy epic fantasy? How about epic fantasy with political intrigue, gays, and dumbasses in love? Traumatised blorbos who undergo ✨healing✨ after their lives get a lot worse? Get this book. And get book 1 for free while you're at it. 🔗👇 #BookSky 🩵📚 📢📚

Really thought I'd be more hyped about publishing my second book—first solo— but gods I am tired and relieved to not be on strict deadlines anymore!

⭐ Good Boys is now Available! ⭐ 🔥 It's here! 🔥 'Good Boys' is available on my Kofi as an ebook, but there will be more to come in the future!

I operate via Vibes. This is the playlist for Good Boys

I have ARCs open for Good Boys! I'm getting to it late, but it's not a SUPER serious project so there's not really a rush for ARCS. So if you like queer romance, crimes, fantasy, the undead and a bit of horror, Good Boys might be a fun time waster! forms.gle/cxPcojD8bpyJ...

Working on the editing for the podcast (FIRST EP TOMORROW!) qnd the auto-captioning by Riverside is a riot 😂 plus the standard Iconic "In the bin."

"The army to asylum pipeline in a lesbian romance zombie apocalypse is going to be WILD" - me about my sapphic Australian zombie apocalypse WIP

I MADE A COLOURING BOOK! It's finally here! Yesterday "With Love, the Stars" was published! Today, my colouring book is too! What a wonderful week 🥰 Australia link: www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DWT5NJWT (Alternatively you can just look "sweet n spooky" up on amazon and it'll be there!)

Pre-sales for With Love, the Stars are coming soon and I am SO excited!

Yes hello I am very serious author (says the shitposter who keeps mentioning a rat cult on socials and in books)

IT'S WORK IN PROGRESS WEDNESDAY gimme gimme gimme! I wanna see what people are writing and hype you up!

HEY so we have an actual account for the podcast now! Updates and things will be going through there!

I don't know if this is a thing, but some friends and I have come up with something we call a "Hype Reader", and already it'd been a MASSIVE HELP for my adhd and motivation. (TL;DR at the end) 1/6🧵

Looking for my crowd in #booksky ! I'm just a silly lil writer from Australia. I'm queer, my work is queer, and I write queer romance, horror, fantasy, mystery and adventure 👀 I also am in preparation of a podcast and run a 21+ spicy writers discord server 🖤

Running from one social media platforms to another just to be able to talk about my books, which are in very real danger of being banned is exactly how i thought I'd start 2025, but God I hate living it in real time. All this to say, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE subscribe to author newsletters!!

So apparently there's going to be a Meta Boycott, which Is understandable as hell! Does it affect me directly? Yes, incredibly so, most of my livelihood as an author is there, but fuck it, I'M IN SUPPORT ANYWAY. So I'm back over here and ready to work out how to roll with Bsky better 🥰

So excited to announce that in march I'll be releasing the start of a podcast! "The Writing Of A Book" will be all about, well, WRITING! BOOKS! and the publishing industry! My co-host Lainey and I will be covering a wide range of topics and interviewing both published and aspiring authors!

Had to cancel my order of "Someone You can build a nest in" and I am DEVASTATED. It was meant to arrive on my birthday days ago but amazon just wasn't shipping it. No updates, nothing, and it's SO shit to see Amazon doing authors dirty like this too! I ordered it weeks ago 😭

I turn 26 today, I can't tell you exactly how long I've been writing for but I can tell you I started taking it seriously 7 years ago. So my advice is this: JUST. FUCKING. WRITE. Don't sit and edit what you've just written, I know it's hard but don't!

I'm writing a character that's going to look like a total self insert at first glance but the biggest tell that they're not actually all that like me is that they're a massive Nirvana fan

Side eyeing the writers block like "please go the fuck away."

I'm so mentally tapped our rn, but more people should join the rat cult 🥰

Just finished editing draft 3 of With Love, the Stars. This means only one more round to go before we're DONE AND READY TO GOOOO!

Instagram recommended I friend my grandmas insta acct today... Over two years after she died 💀 at least I know I won't get that recc here oh my gods 💀💀💀

Wdym I have to actually write and edit a book for it to exist? Wdym my brain doesn't just make the book magically accessible to everyone???

Respect for Nature 🧝🏽‍♀️🌱🐇 . . #illustration #gouache #traditional #art #drawing #elf #rabbit

Me at 1am: Perfectly flowing story sentences rotating in my mind, flawless plotlines building themselves... Me when I actually go to write: hhhhHHHH WHAT ARE WORDS?!

Wife just got a notice of termination from their work (because they want to change the direction of the place my wife works and have someone who can also like... Cook and cater, as well as manage the cafe, be a barista, prep and serve food and handle cash register.)

Just some pictures of my eldest daughter, who gets special alone time snuggle privileges away from the other cats because she gets depressed if she doesn't :') (clearly a trait she adapted from me)

1 ⭐, WHY are all the characters queer?! Gay friendship groups and nonbinary characters in a book is UNREALISTIC and WOKE. And why is there poetry amongst the stories?

Crossover Notes with @writingsby-anna.bsky.social today 🥰 Basically we're making edit notes on each others sections for With Love, the Stars 🖤😍

If you're an editor or marketer following me because you're hoping to sell me a service, then allow me to DM you a very disappointing screenshot of my bank balance. Would you also like to hear about my multiple debts? I'd be delighted to cry on your shoulder! For free, of course.

Been trying so hard to be productive lately while feeling unwell, was blaming my chronic illnesses... Wife just tested positive for covid again 💀 Thank gods I don't really leave the house, though being immunocompromised and getting nerfed with it for the??? 4th time?? Risky shit.

As a writer, I have an addiction to highlighters. No I will not listen to constructive criticism, normal criticism only :) and yes, that's my reason and I'm sticking to it :)))))

She was still until I tried to take a picture 💀 Tinsel, Ma'am, please 😭🖤

I love showing up to rapid post and then vanish for 24-72 hours :') Consistency? Whomst?

Theory Starter Pack: - Tea, Coffee, Monster, but all sugar free - All clothes in black, but jewellery gold - Music: anything with strong emotions - Queer as heck ✨ - Anxietea sis - Gender? Pass. - Adhd, Autism and a host of health issues :))) - 50% scary dog privileges, 50% am baby 🖤

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written. So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now. "My writing process is not broken."

Generally I put these on my insta but I thought I'd drop it here too- Makeout Monday, aka where I post kisses from my WIPs 😍🥰 This is from part of my work in "With Love, the Stars" which is coming out Feb 14th, 2025 🥰🥰🥰 A collab of short Queer stories with @writingsby-anna.bsky.social
