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💙📚

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 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:

9 years ago, a wee fantasy tale called "The Weaver of Odds" was summoned into reality & changed my life forever. 🩵📚 Today, we celebrate 500K sold paperbacks+hardbacks of the novel + millions of eBooks. Thank you all who had purchased a copy. I hope I can keep on writing stories worthy of you.🥰❤️

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

People have been writing to congratulate me on #VivianAmberville 's sudden & out-of-nowhere success. Little do they know I've been working on this epic dark fantasy series since I was Vivian's age. Here's some 25 year-old concept art featuring 6 characters from the series. 💙📚 #art #fantasy #books

This is, by far, the silliest promo video I've ever shot.🫣 If we never met before, my name is Louise Blackwick: a fantasy/sci-fi author based in the Netherlands.✒️📖 I'm mostly known as the author of the #VivianAmberville fantasy series & the creator of NEON SCIENCE-FICTION. Please don't meme me! 💀

You're not terribly wrong, Shanna. 😅 In the Vivian Amberville book series, people can "Weave Threads of influence into the very fabric of reality". Knowing that setting, one of my readers sent me this funny comic. 🤭 #vivianamberville #fanmade #funny #comics

2017 I decided my writing career wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't getting any readers or royalties, so I boldly decided to quit. That weekend the wind blew a 5 of diamonds card under my front door. I took it as an omen (5 books in the #vivianamberville saga). 5 months later, I had 1 million readers.

Letters are written. Goodie bags are sorted. I'm finally done handcrafting item number 2998, 2999 & 3000! 🤗 Now for the long & tedious task of distributing these items randomly among 120K book preorders. It's going to be an interesting week... ☻️ #vivianamberville #preorders #signedbooks #crochetted

This are all the #VivianAmberville #digital #portraits I made of my characters (ft. in "The Weaver of Odds"). I drew these about 5 years ago & been refining them since. Haven't had any time to draw the "Chaos Weavers" yet, or any of the newer characters featured in the sequel ("The Book of Chaos"

A couple more amateur digital paintings (no AI) I've hand-sketched sometime between 2016-2020. Each one of these 4 projects depict a specific scene from "The Weaver of Odds"- 1st in the #VivianAmberville epic #darkfantasy series Info: www.vivianamberville.com #art #booksky #bestseller #digitalart

Me, trying to memorize all the 16 different subplots present in my epic #darkfantasy (Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos), knowing I'll have to resolve every infinitesimal detail, and tie every loose end in the next instalment. #Booksky 💙📚 #vivianamberville #amreading #amwriting #louiseblackwick

I'm currently developing a micro-fantasy world that takes place on a single grain of rice (2 millimeter world) Building a whole MYTHOLOGY (languages, histories, geography, magic, creatures, deep lore) from scratch. 2nd time I'm doing this too. 1st time was with #VivianAmberville, my magnum opus 💙📚

Today I wrote an extensive Patreon article about the use of "pocket realities" in literature & film. I have an example of pocket reality in my own writing. The epic dark fantasy series, Vivian Amberville is particularly teeming with them. Patreon: bit.ly/4fu8fis #pocketrealities #vivianamberville

My first attempt at building a Darkthing* - an eldritch voidspawn from the #VivianAmberville universe.💙📚 Just a skeleton, for now. His disturbing flesh will soon follow!😄 *Darkthings dwell in the Abyss, in the backrooms of reality, beyond the Dark Door (the door between Life & Death in the series)

#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

For fans of "The Weaver of Odds", I made a summary of the main events in "The Book of Chaos" (2nd book in the Vivian Amberville series) 💙📚 It is a VERY DENSE book, so I did my best to include only the main storyline(s). #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #louiseblackwick #booksky #epicfantasy #mystery
