Meet Mobei, the newest baby. He’s very sleepy and it’s storming outside. #catsky #kitten #mobeijun #kittenversion

If you see shocking news today, this is just my reminder that it’s April Fools day today. Unless the shocking news is some US Based hellscape thing then that probably happened. Double check. #aprilfools

It is not enough just to hate genAI. You do also need to support real artists- buying product, subscribing to their memberships, and most importantly for free by giving rebleets and comments. Outrage is not enough, there also needs to be undeniable support.

Sometimes it feels like there are 2 ppl in me and for 1 of them things are going really good/easy. they’re having a great time. the other 1 is having an Ody “all I hear are screams” moment nonstop every day at the cliff side. there is no way to reconcile or calm down these two things.

I feel like some cuisines really figured out vegetables. Like some were like “any vegetable can become a dip if you mash it and season it enough” and they were right and also better than anyone else.

I once had a journal send me a form rejection and part of that form rejection was a link to their YouTube video where they extend their form rejection by telling you common reasons people get rejected and I’m like. Thanks but no thanks? Do you all have opinions in this?? #amwriting #amquerying

Have you ever had a character who should appeal to you in every way, but instead they’re just so boring. For me it’s always the characters who otherwise would be appealing but every other character acts like they are The Most Ever. Immediately my dislike heightens dramatically. #amreading #booksky

I never know what thing I write is going to resonate with readers. I’ll write something I consider to be a masterpiece and feedback will be like, a shrug and a nod. Then I’ll write a Silly Little Guy and get told it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. #amwriting #writersky #creativewriting

I can’t get it to show right but haha. 69 followers. Thanks everyone! Next laugh is at 420 and then we can all giggle again at 666.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" Well, if that was true I'd be ripped with impressive muscles. Instead I have noodle arms and dysphoria. Maybe stuff could quit being so bad now, yeah?

My cat!

When your stinky cats miss you more than they hate the smell of Other Cat on you, so you’re gifted with cuddles right away. #catsky

5th grade baby me: I want to be an author who illustrates my own works! YA me: That's not even how it works really, right? I should probably have more realistic goals. 30+ yr old me: The world is burning and the future is whatever. I want to be an author who illustrates my own work. #writersky

As I obsess over fic, what it means to me, the beautiful and wild writing I’ve found in it, and the absolute comfort of its inherent familiarity, I find myself soft hearted and warm for ppl who put so much love into stories just for the sake of it. Thank all fic writers so much.

Today I get to hang out with this lil sweetie. #dogsky #blacklab

I just saw a 400k word fic. Haha, we are all! Absolutely! Obsessed with the blorbos. Warms the heart. I don’t know what to tag this, I just love fandom.

I have written about 15k words in the last few days, and I have been so proud of myself for finally breaking out of my Near Permanent Struggle to get out the words. Anyone have a similar breakthrough? What helped you get back at it? #amwriting #writersky #booksky

The world is burning. I’ve finally caved to my writing origins. I’m writing a demon loving, monster worship homage to all the best fanfic I’ve read or written in all 21 years I’ve been reading it. Doing what you love and making it fun is the only way to survive in this shit. #amwriting #writersky

I need to follow more writing, art, and book ppl. I tried to let that happen organically but its definitely been a trickle, not a roar. If you do any of those things in ANY form of the fantasy genre, like this and I will check you out and (probably) follow you! #writersky #booksky #artsky #fantasy

Alondra showed me some really beautiful panels when they were brainstorming and working through this idea! I am so excited to see them ready to put it out there! It’s a beautiful piece I’ve really enjoyed hearing about! Go check it out! #queercomics #queerlit #booksky #transcomics #comics

I may be a silly little guy here. But I don't enjoy intentional "hidden messages" as a tool in writing. Ppl won't dissect your work, so anything not explicit usually gets ignored. Anything hidden is just from who I am personally, so its usually hidden from me too! #askanauthor #amwriting #writersky

Me when I should be working on my Serious Novel: what if I made the monsterfucker series of my dreams? Now I’m here, writing an introduction to a series where a pathetic man pines after a giant Snake Demon Monster Prince who could and probably would kill him.

I don’t know what Kingdom Come Deliverance is but some algorithm somewhere decided I would like it and now my feeds everywhere are filled with beautiful glorious tasty gay knight art. I have been blessed by the Knight Gods. #knights #kcd

Hooray now I have a study i can reference instead of staring blankly and going "uh idk sounds wrong" when people say AI is good for coding futurism.com/openai-resea...

#fantasylit #writersky #booksky Idea I love but am too tired for: Every "remote herb found only in a deeply isolated mountain village" is actually in the same village. A single village, more specifically, a single garden. The man is a collector and he is old as dirt (maybe literally.)

Braum is a butt and wouldn’t look at me. #catsky #mainecoon

Finally finished yet another food-based tale about these two - can you tell i've been watching too many silent comedies? Edited by @ecmsquared.bsky.social 💜 Check the first image's alt text for the transcript of the whole comic. 1/4🧵

I researched the Salmon of Knowledge for a gay pirates novel I wrote which I fully intend to redraft and resubmit soonish. The Salmon gained all of its knowledge from eating nuts from the well of wisdom and whoever eats the first bite of it will gain all of its knowledge. #askanauthor

The Parent Trap (1998) is a little awful but in a very fun way. Early Lindsay Lohan acted her tiny heart out.

Losing my titties would fix me. I just know it. #transmasc #morningthoughts #mourningthoughts

My biggest fear is being boring. Writing is a conversation, and silence is the conversation killer. If what my stories are saying aren’t interesting enough to start that conversation then what am I even doing? #askanauthor #booksky #writersky

Every post I see about Severance is basically “Severance is so good!!” And like ok but what is good? The characters? The writing?? What genre is it? What’s happening? I know nothing about it except ppl like it lol. #severance

Sometimes you just gotta overwrite a scene like crazy just to get through the damn thing. You can remove whatever you need to later, just get all the words down. Yes, it's torturous. Yes, it makes my brain itch. Gotta do it. #amwriting #fantasylit #darkfantasy #writersky #booksky

So, when I have some money come in I really want to get a picture of Syn done (my MC from my dark fantasy novel) but my priority is capturing his personality and style. Does anyone have any recommendations of people you've worked with before? #writersky #amwriting #commissions #artsky #fantasylit

If I drink milk from the container in the middle of the night then by gremlin laws it doesn’t count and turns to water in my tummy.

I'm starving this afternoon. Other hungry writers, what are some foods from your book you'd love to eat? Syn is (not) eating fresh vegetable soup in pork broth and slivers of tender meat throughout. I'm so hungry. Show off your best in-world food. #writersky #booksky #amwriting #fantasylit

When I was still employed I did in fact steal so much time writing my novel on the clock.

The discomfort of being at a new place + you can’t not eat bc rude but you dk The Rules (and there’s the Fae Queen at the table & she’s spoken to you so everyone’s watching) and also you’re a product of necromancy so like. Can you even eat? #darkfantasy #fantasylit #writersky #amwriting

I am also never so productive as when PSN is down and I can not watch shows or play games or do anything on my console which is how I do everything not productive.

What's funny about bots is I use them to keep from getting upset about losing followers anywhere. If I gain one & check and they're not a bot, I'm happy! Woohoo, new follower. But if I lose one, then I go "probably just a bot" and then it doesn't matter. This is the way to true happiness. #writersky

How many times a day do you look up the meaning of a word? I have so far searched winsome, veritable, mercerized. I have also searched what walnut heartwood vs sapwood looks like, polished/unpolished. Writing is half writing, half searching random things. #amwriting #writersky #booksky #fantasylit

YOUR first draft doesn’t need to be perfect. but mine does

I love writing animals. First Wei the Grackle Familiar, now Spinster the picky cheap bessy in my cowboy story… they are just. Fun to give personalities and backstories even if they don’t last. (RIP Spinster.) tell me about your favorite fictional animals. #amwriting #writersky #booksky #authorsky
