Safety lived in what I could weigh and #measure. Ingredients. Portions. My body. I wore data like a security blanket or a suit of armour. How many times did I chew before I swallowed? Before I choked on multiples of five? Before I believed that maybe today I did remember to lock the door? 🏷️ #vss365

#vss365 #prompt Good morning. #November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail. Today's word is #measure

My goal is to add a chapter to one of my two WIPs this week and my stretch goal is to add two chapters to whichever WIP(s) they land in. All words are good words! 🏷️ #QueerWriters (goals day)

📝 My head spins, more from the shit in my brain than the alcohol in my blood, and I slam the glass down too hard on the bar. There’s fire in my eyes when I open them and the guy who bought the drinks takes half a step closer. 🌃 from WIP Miles From Morning 🏷️ #QueerWriters (line share day: glass)

Why did I never think to share these beautiful monthy reading wrap-up graphics from @thestorygraph.com on here before? Anyway, here's October's 💖 Ratings are based purely on my own subjective enjoyment and yes, I basically listen to audiobooks non-stop 🎧📚 🏷️ #Reading #BookSky #StoryGraph

I accomplished a version of my goal. Not a new chapter in one of my WIPS or a new chapter in both of them, but a secret third thing. Two new chapters in 🌃Miles From Morning, because that's where my brain went and I wasn't going to argue with it. 🏷️ #QueerWriters (check-in day)

📝 I pick up the knife, throw him against the wall, and hold the blade to his throat all in one movement. He looks like he’s ready to piss himself. “You broke my wrist!” he says, as if I don’t know that. As if I didn’t mean to do it. ✂️ from Miles From Morning 🏷️ #WIPSnips (movement) #QueerWriters

"So the sea is that way?" I asked. You turned my hand a few degrees and smiled. "Yeah. Eventually." I have been lost so often. I said, "I can't read a map to save my life." (We saved each other's though) #Geography was never my thing, but I could always find my way home. 🏷️ #vss365 (geography)

You always wanted to be #famous and the spotlight was made for you. Centre stage and interviews and autographs. Everyone knows your name, but I hold different memories, fragile in hands never brave enough to touch you. You, my greatest if-only. My regret, a pale reflection of your star. 🏷️ #vss365

📝 Without letting go of my hand, Amber said, "You stood up to him though." "Yeah," said Darwin, with a smile made of steel under lipstick the colour of dried blood. "I did." ✂️ from WIP Darwin's Cliff 🏷️ #WIPSnips (steel) #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriters #WriteSky

My realistic goal is to add a chapter to one of my WIPs and my stretch goal is to add a chapter to each of them. I won't be mad if I don't get there, but I'm going to do my best 💪🏼 🏷️ #QueerWriters (goals day)

📝 The chill of February whispered through old wooden window frames. I made big mugs of sweet tea in the hope of bringing some warmth into a house that held cold in its bones despite the heat from cast iron radiators. 🌄 from WIP Darwin's Cliff 🏷️ #QueerWriters (line share) #WriteSky #LGBTQWriters

I'm so late doing this 😅 My extremely vague goal for the week was to work on either or both of my WIPs, which I did. I'm really enjoying having two completely different WIPs on the go and I'm discovering that I'm much more of a mood writer than I realised. 🏷️ #QueerWriters (check in day)

📢 New (free, public) blog post just landed on my Patreon! 🌃 Introducing my cyberpunk WIP Miles From Morning, and Rafe, the punch-first-think-later disaster of an MC. I hope you love him as much as I do. 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/141507... 🏷️ #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Patreon

Thank you for another excellent #LGBTQWriteAThon @amaralynn.bsky.social ! My promo for the end of the month: I'm helping organise a queer writers anthology in my city, and we need a bit of help covering costs. If you're in a position to help, we'd love to have your support 🌈💖🙏

Folks. If a total stranger with no links in their AI-looking bio sends you a copy-pasta reply and offers to beta read your WIP, maybe don't send that person your unpublished MS. Especially if they can't string together a coherent sentence. It's v unlikely to be legit. 🏷️ #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Thanks again for this event! This Halloween-flavored #LGBTQWriteAThon was a lot of fun, and I'm eagerly awaiting Valentine's-flavored. 😎 /j That said, already hyped this, I know, but it's Halloween, so why not read a story about grief and demon summoning? jaxwolffwrites.beehiiv.com/p/the-infini...

#LGBTQWriteAThon Happy Halloween! Have a treat! This is my jewelry website that I run with my mom. I make chainmail jewelry. She makes beaded cross stitch and wire crochet items. If you ever want a custom order, please hit me up! www.hootowlcreations.com

Thanks for another amazing #LGBTQWriteAThon! It was so much fun (just like it always is) 💖 My final promo is for winterandwords.social, the place where all the links to everything I do - stories, social media, community etc - can be found 💻 See you all for the next #QueerWriters weekend 🏳️‍🌈

Life stuff and health stuff were tough, but it was a good month for writing-related things. I'm happy that I finished posting Name From Nowhere on Patreon (my first chapter-by-chapter Patreon story) and I feel pretty settled in to my two new WIPs. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon

🌄Darwin's Cliff is built on a foundation of secrets and lies...but none of them are the MC's (which is why her perspective is so much fun to write from) 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (skeletons in the closet)

For 🌃Miles From Morning it's like *gestures broadly at everything* Sources of fear include the criminals, but also the police and the military. And the government. And kind of the whole structure of society tbh. And Rafe, the MC, is a weapons-grade danger to himself and others. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon

My goals are the same as last week - get some writing done in either or both of my WIPs. No specific numbers or anything. Just words, however many come out and whatever they are. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (goals day)

📝 Boyd, who was at least as broken as I was by Amber’s disappearance, insisted on walking me home. He didn’t say it out loud, but I knew he was scared that I, too, might vanish and never come back. 🌄 from WIP Darwin's Cliff 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (line share day: scare) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

My goal for the week was just to write something in one or both of my WIPs and I did it! Miles From Morning's discovery draft has one more chapter than it had a few days ago, so I'm happy. I hope everyone else had a good week 💜 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (check in day)

Does a sequel count? 😅 Spin Cylinder, sequel to November Breaks, exists because the MCs refused to shut up. The vibe is: 💀 Slice of life, but life is drugs and crime 💀 They deserve each other (derogatory) 💀 Violence as a substitute for therapy 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/131846... 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon

The migraine demon has sucked out too much brain to let me come up with anything creative for this, but I am LOVING reading everyone else's. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon

I love this one 😅 OK, for Rafe from 🌃Miles From Morning... - Knackered long black leather coat - Two fancy but very scary looking switchblades - Make-up to create an obscene amount of cuts, bruises, and scars - Three whiskey tumblers (yes, it has to be three) 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (MC costume kit)

🌃 Miles From Morning: Pounded in the entire body by a criminal gang, the military, and my own catastrophically self-destructive tendencies. 🌄 Darwin's Cliff: Pounded in the tortured soul by loss, grief, and an enduring obsession with my best friend's hot older sister. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (Tinglers)

My goal this week is to write something in at least one of my two WIPs, not just Patreon blog posts 😅 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (goals day)

📝 And for the first time in my life, I danced with girls. Not the way we used to dance in my friends’ kitchens back home, doing silly waltzes and collapsing into giggles. Real dancing. Dancing with intent. 🌄 from WIP Darwin's Cliff 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (line share: silly)

📢 What you can find on my Patreon for the rest of 2025! 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/141568... 💜 All my published stories, as well as blog posts and bonus content, live on Patreon and there's a free memership tier with access to EVERYTHING. 🏷️ #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Patreon

My week was...a thing that happened. There's been a bunch of stuff to deal with and my mantra has been "Just get through the day" 😅 My goal was to write anything, so I'm definitely counting the Patreon blog posts I drafted because I deserve a gold star, dammit. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (check in day)

Can I yell about my ⭐Patreon⭐? It's full of disaster-people being gay and doing crime in cyberpunk and dark lit fic stories. There's a free membership option and I also post blogs, bonus content, short fiction and audio recordings. 🔗 www.patreon.com/winterandwords 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (promo Friday)

If Rafe from 🌃Miles From Morning was around in our world and time, he'd love 3Teeth's cover of Pumped Up Kicks. Tobie from 🌄Darwin's Cliff was a nineties teen and Alanis Morissette's Hand In My Pocket remains a firm favourite. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (MC's favourite song)

It's aliiiiiiive payhip.com/SillyGooseInk

Rafe from Miles From Morning's favourite treats are liquid - coffee and whiskey ☕🥃 Tobie from Darwin's Cliff (sneaky title drop!!) favourite is her gran's homemade shortbread 🍪 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (MC's favourite treats)

Rafe from 🌃Miles From Morning is fucked up with a capital FU. Yes, that's a gun in his pocket, and no, he's not pleased to see you. He's made of scars, anger, unfortunate circumstances, and questionable decision-making. And he doesn't trust anyone, not even himself. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (MC intro)

I feel like I've been organising, planning and adminning a lot for the last little while, so this week my only goal is to write. Doesn't matter how much or which WIP, as long as the words are wording. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (goals day)

I don't usually post more than a couple of lines for these things, but I love the first few sentences of 🌄Project Darwin so much that I couldn't resist sharing a little more. The weather is basically a character in this story 😊 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (line share) #QueerWriters #WriteSky

🔫 NAME FROM NOWHERE chapter 35 is now live! 💜 The end! Thank you so much for reading Aria's story, and for all your support and enthusiasm. So much love xx 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/141032... 🏷️ #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Patreon

Writing stuff was good this week. I hit both my goals - keeping up with daily #LGBTQWriteAThon posts and planning my Patreon context for the rest of the year. I hope everyone else had a good week 💜

My novella The Hand That Feeds still makes me very happy! I loved writing these characters so much books2read.com/u/4APvDq sasseverett.itch.io/the-hand-tha... #lgbtqwriteathon
