Well, it was "make-up Thursday" back at the office, so I figured it was a rare chance to take a few selfies.👀 What you see behind me - aside from a messy desk - is the script for episodes 7 & 8 of my upcoming Youtube show. My motivation: to get over my camera shyness (or just shyness in general)😳😶‍🌫️

Welp, I guess I've bitten the bullet & hauled my shy, awkward, introverted arse in front of a camera.😶‍🌫️💀 Watch the full & uncut (1 hour 20 min) author interview here: www.patreon.com/posts/139192... I also included a downloadable audio-only version if you'd rather not look at my uggo mug. O__,._o💙📚

You are very beautiful Louise Blackwick! I watched your podcast on YouTube and I really liked it. Congratulations also to the gentleman who interviewed you! He had a difficult mission, but professional. I think you gave him some emotions next to such a beautiful and intelligent woman. Superb !

My fellow Weavers and Chaos Weavers, "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" finally releases today, in all formats & for all markets! Info: www.patreon.com/posts/124992736 Vivian Amberville® is a bestselling EPIC DARK FANTASY book series about a girl with the power to twist reality.💙📚 #booksky

If she had to dress up for a formal event, Weird Luck's enby protagonist Agent Sojac would pick a tux over a gown, and she'd rock it... as we'll see for ourselves eventually, in the final chapters of Volume 3! #webcomics #comics #indiecomics #oc #gender #enby #nonbinary #queer weirdluck.net/about/

In the city of Tal Sharnis where the Weird Luck comic takes place, the most common alcoholic drinks are locally-brewed liquors & beers. Exotic drinks are the ones imported from other worlds––including wine, since grapes can't grow in the chaotic local climate. #worldbuilding weirdluck.net/about/

I feel like the lowest hanging fruit that politicians and political hopefuls should take away from Mamdani's victory is that maybe politicians should try *not* exuding a seething, visceral, barely-contained disgust for their constituents at all times, for a change.

With the Corvus Drive in unknown hands, Max popping up with his cryptic & violent agenda, and her own Weird Luck & sense of responsibility, Agent Sojac is very stressed indeed and it's just going to get worse. Good thing she has such a kind & trustworthy therapist, right? #oc weirdluck.net/about/

Before being promoted to positions of autonomy & authority (like Agent Sojac's rank of Special Agent), Reality Patrol personnel undergo an immersive & intense virtual reality test called the Wu-Hernandez. We'll learn more about it in Volume 3! #comics #oc #worldbuilding #scifi weirdluck.net/about/

Awww, they're just like me!

While deleted scenes rarely emerge from my Drafts...this was a humorous part I really liked, that was cut due to ruining the tension of an early chapter. Might not be in the final book, but in my heart, Casey still loves brownies 🍫 For context, they're attempting to escape a dangerous star ship:

Spent six hours of research trying to find out if there should be lead in the water pipes of my fictional city. (Then decided I didn't want everyone to have lead poisoning, so I changed that detail anyway 🤣) #HistoricalWritingThoughts #MedievalFantasy #OkayActually1800sFantasy #ButStill

We're sorry our goodnight hugs are so late. The human fell asleep and resisted all our attempts to wake them (and we were persistent). Our goodnight hugs go out to everyone that's running behind on a project or that needs help waking up from a nap... (Art by Lucia Heffernan) #CatsOfBluesky
