My fellow Chaos Weavers, I just wrote an article about "6 cinematic Techniques you can also use in writing literature" (Chaos & Symmetry, Cold/Hot Frame, Motion Precision, Movement & Direction, 70% Imbalance, Rule of Thirds) www.patreon.com/posts/27-ada... Let me know if you enjoy this content!💙📚

Jump into the Abyss by Louise Blackwick is a creepy #shortstory full of visceral discomfort and #horror. Definitely one that will stick with me. #BookSky 💙📚 @louiseblackwick.com

So cute! Wish I were there too!😀 www.instagram.com/p/DXT7k4zCIw...

#funfact 3 In #VivianAmberville 's #darkfantasy book universe, Æbe'trax is a rare metallic ore found in the deepest caverns of the Alarian world, Ærria. Dubbed as "thought made flesh" & "the most dangerous metal in reality" Æbe'trax can summon into being the most dominant thought in your awareness

I wrote an article in which I break down how I built "PROMISE" & "PAYOFF" for 2 of my most popular stories. (+ I discuss how authors like Sanderson, Martin, Rowling & Pixar writers do it). It'll drop tomorrow 12 PM (CET) on my Patreon & will be free for everyone!💙📚 www.patreon.com/posts/155885...

@louiseblackwick.com I think you're more of a Herbert than a Tolkien, themes-wise. Super interesting & complex what you're doing with Vivian Amberville's ascension to power, and the question of "free will" vs. "determinism" I'm interested to read a full breakdown of your work, if you ever do one💙📚

I'll be attending both #INDIGO (Rotterdam, NL) & #Gamescom (Köln, DE) this year. Come by & say hi! If you love either #books or #videogames, or are working in the game industry, I'd love to have a chat & exchange notes. For Gamescom, I'll be around the place Thursday 27 Aug. Hope to see you there🥰

My dear Bluesky family, I haven't been very active on social media b/c of doing a slew of creative cool things A lot of these projects are new, ambitious & cosmically terrifying. They give me terrible anxiety, but also make me come alive. Here's a few: I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to🥰

Brilliant! Yeah, my weekend was/is pretty awesome too. Lots of crazy fun with friends; lots of creative work too. 😙🤘 Here's me yesterday evening, bowling for soup & getting my arse kicked at it. 😊🎳

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

Aww, thank you James. I've been working on drawing some of those action/battle scenes, but it quickly became BEYOND my drawing abilities. 😅 So I drew something a bit more simple. (yes, I know Dhk'nembra is more impressive in the books, but that's the best I could do)👀

Check out Cactus Dacks... The one I want to read about is Zero *zero-dimension universe and the weird people living inside* Reckon someone broke into my blackhole and stole my vacuum... Louise do you have a wanted poster of said Zero? @louiseblackwick.com

Few people know this, but I'm also trained as a linguist in Old English, Norse & Proto-German. I also speak Dutch, French, Swedish & Finnish. This expertise has led to me crafting 9 fictional languages for my epic fantasy series, Vivian Amberville.💙📚 How has your background shaped your writing?🙃

My Patreon community's been asking this for YEARS. Maybe it's finally time to dream a little bigger. I'm going to dip my little toe into the #gameindustry & see if there's any possibility of a #videogame adaptation of my successful dark fantasy book series, Vivian Amberville. Time to go to work.💙📚

#FunFacts A colourful part of #VivianAmberville 's #darkfantasy book universe is Kaap, the Hole-in-the-Wall. Not only can this intelligent #shapeshifter morph into any creature imaginable, but he can also become a walking-talking "hole/burrow"🕳️ Or even tunnel through the very fabric of reality. 💙📚

Rude, Bluesky.

I wasn't always a full time #author with several successful books in print. (1/11) Truth be told, I failed 100x more than I succeeded. But some of the projects I worked on have paved the way to the artist and writer I am today. Here's a quick timeline of some of my projects:

I still cannot get this mind-blowing book out of my head. ("The Book of Chaos") Epic dark fantasy, complex magic systems, figure-8 time loops, huge cast of grey characters, and a plot more tightly-woven than a cosmic tapestry. @louiseblackwick.com's books are what it feels like to chew 5 gum.💙📚

I had an amazing day on set today. 🥰 We just wrapped up filming episode 9 & we are prepping to shoot the 10th (and final) episode. In season 1, I got to meet my interdimensional doppelgängers & explore the vast fantasy world of my novels. I can't wait to unleash this wacky show upon the world! 💙📚

I felt lucky to get such good views of this great white egret at Chard Reservoir this afternoon. It flew towards me and then spent some time fishing close by. Lucky for me - not so much for the fish. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #SomersetBirds #Egret

#Marchistics 2. Moon/lunar crystals are round, polished stones that, as I said yesterday, power up everything from radios to floating platforms to warships. They’re crucial to nensii society and economy in the Kingdom of Kraslya, which is a focal region of the story. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#nowwatching Duel (1971) Yeah, early Spielberg rules. 'Jaws' with a truck is thrown around a lot (deservedly so) but this film is a lot more than that. And to have the truck and its dricer be such a brutal force... Love it. A film on masculinity, on violence inherit in vehicles. Machete's up. 🔪🔪🔪

I alchemized my actual living soul into this 7400+ words article. This one contains lots and lots of practical tips & even a smidge of "creative homework"💙📚 From the series: How to Get Your Writing to Escape the Longtail of Obscurity & Make a Living as an Artist. www.patreon.com/posts/151890...

In today's article, I shared a few best practices for weaving "the Self archetype" into your creative writing projects.💙📚 Fair warning: there is some rather difficult, expert-level hermetic writing advice in this one, which makes it slightly unsuited for new writers www.patreon.com/posts/jungia...

With "Bloodeater" the more people you maim/slay, the larger your bloodlust & "the Void" takes permanent shelter behind your eyes.👀 Your tears turn tarry-black & you can often hear a 2nd heartbeat (a heart of Darkness) beating inside your chest.🖤 Plus your knife-hands get those creepy dark veins.💙📚

Thats so sick! Are there any after effects? We have the Knife of Sherrimaw. Enriched with Voodoo from a serial killer. He strung up dolls from past victims & one’s he carved with the knife. Using them to scry, eventually going blind from it. Strictly has to rely on the dolls for vision now.

I just learned that Tom Noonan passed away on the 14th! He played many iconic roles but none quite as genuinely scary as Francis Dollarhyde in 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓. Ralph Fiennes did a superb job for 𝑹𝒆𝒅 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏, but he never had quite the same level of menace & lurking danger of Noonan's performance.

Blimey, Georgie did an excellent job remastering my original artwork for Bloodeater. (Vivian Amberville's trademark "thought-made-flesh" weapon).🗡️🤩 She even added the creepy red & black veins & swollen capillaries that take over your arm when holding #Bloodeater! 💙📚 #vivianamberville #DarkFantasy

I fuken love this fantasy series. Can't wait for "The Empire of Sand" to come out!

8 perfect time loops, one quintuple, one a triad, a magic system more complicated than any #Sanderson novel, and a fantasy world to rival Tolkien. 💙📚 How I imagine @louiseblackwick.com planned the @vivianamberville.com Vivian Amberville book series.

Time travel is the easy part. The difficult part is waiting in line behind all your future selves, trying to undo mistakes you haven’t even made yet. 💙📚 #vivianamberville #timeloops #cosmichorror #darkfantasy
