Due to regularly feeling like I'm annoying my non-writing friends by posting a bunch of writing stuff here, I've created a writing-only account (arumiwrites.bsky.social). Feel free to follow me over there if you're into unhinged writing memes & updates about my #SFF books! 👍

ARCANE x COLDWIRE murdering robot spiders, a cybernetic surgeon who wears pink butterfly hairclips, a magical battle thunderdome, skyrail skateboarding, TRON bikes. ALSO IT’S A LOVE STORY. #A #R #SF #UnhingedPit youtu.be/YV7hdhPXkuQ?...

The unfortunate thing about having a brain that doesn't quit is that I keep coming up with new cool SFF book concepts and can't choose which one to tackle next. 👀

Whoa! I would watch it if this were a movie I want to get my hands on this book #LitAgents, #editors, stars of fate: please make this book happen. 💫 The words, the visuals, the feels... Arumi, this is 🔥

I made a fan-style trailer for my SFF #amquerying book, just for fun. Let me know what you think! ❤️

#AmQuerying vibes today:

Sometimes old-internet seems like a fever dream. Did it ever exist? Were LiveJournal and VampireFreaks and Newgrounds even real??

And we'd all be singing the song of our people. Mai-ia-hi Mai-ia-hu Mai-ia-ha Mai-ia-ha-ha

Forgot to cut my hair for a few years... oops

Drafting up this next scene for the cyberpunk book, and wondering if I've overdone it on the lore & worldbuilding. I tried to explain the plot to someone (who isn't a SFF fan) irl, and they just stared blankly at me for 15 minutes. 😅

It's day 12 of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! It almost seems like it's gone so fast?! Today's cabin prompt: How did you decide on your MC's name? (If you sent your feedback swap but haven't gotten any back, ping me and I'll get someone for you to swap with!)

We're over halfway through the second week of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! (Storm knocked out my power so I missed a day) 😆 Today's cabin prompt -- what's the next stage for your project after camp? More revisions, querying, self-pub, sharing with friends? Or will you let it rest?

Happy 2nd week of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! Today's question: What's your biggest obstacle to getting time to write? Is it the allure of doomscrolling, your adorable kid/cat/partner, a busy job? Or your own brain? (hi, it me)

Hi #CampRevPit campers! I'm the #CRPlunamoth counselor. Come join me for a late-night session of #CampRevPitSprints for the next hour! We'll start at :00 and write until :25, take a five min snack break, then write from :30 until :55.

Happy Day 6 of #CampRevPit, #CRPlunamoths! All critique match emails should have gone out (for those that opted in). Tomorrow I’ll be running some sprints from 9-10pm, feel free to join in! ❤️ Today’s prompt: what’s one thing (or person) your MC can’t live without?

Happy Day 5 of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! If you're like me, you use music a lot (either to inspire, or for vibes while writing/editing). What's one song or playlist that best represents your book or MC? (don't forget to use our cabin hashtag in your replies so it shows up in our feed!)

Happy Day 4 of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! Today I'd love to see your favorite lines - beautiful, funny, poignant or otherwise. What's a line from your book that you absolutely love?

Happy Day 3 of #CampRevPit, #CRPLunaMoths! Tonight I'll be running a few sprints, if you're around, feel free to jump in and report your words (or minutes spent editing, if that's the stage you're at). First sprint will be for 15 minutes, and start at :15! (in 6 minutes)

Happy Day 2 of #CampRevPit, #CRPlunamoths! For today's cabin prompt - since we're all writing romantasy (or some version of it), how did your main couple meet? What was their first scene together?

Happy timezone #CRPLunaMoths, and happy Day 1 of #CampRevPit! Our cabin’s #CampKickoff question: what inspired the book you’re working on? Was it a song, a scene, a vibe, a trope? Quote this post with your reply, and be sure to use our hashtag so it shows up in our feed!

Hey all my regular followers here -- just a heads up that I'm a camp counselor for @reviseresub.bsky.social's #CampRevPit. As I only have one account, you may see some posts, and if they become too much, feel free to mute the #CRPlunamoths tag, since that's what I'll be using. Love you all <3

Hi Luna Moth campers, and welcome to #CampRevPit. I’m Arumi, your cabin counselor this year! You can contact me or Head Cabins Counselor @briannathebookish.bsky.social if you have questions or concerns. 1/? #CRPlunamoths

What are some of your favorite cyberpunk aesthetics? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting

We did it. We put words together and formed a novel. We edited and revised. Then we did the hardest part of all: we shared our words. From the posts and #10queries your work is amazing and we should be proud. No matter what happens, keep being awesome storytellers. #revpitwaiting #revpit

This! I was so sad the first 2 years I did #RevPit, but was able to refocus on the great things that came out of it. My online writing family is *huge* now! I make huge to-do lists because my brain can be a potato, & next week’s list legit includes “process post-RevPit sads”. I’m ahead this year 😆

Rewrite of ATPC (cyberpunk book) is officially over halfway done! Going to try and add another 5-10k over the weekend. I’m waiting on several poetry subs, a nonfiction essay sub, #RevPit results on Monday, and am running a drafting event in one of my writing Discords. And sleep, at some point. 😅

Realizing that I'm still a n00b at BlueSky because I keep accidentally clicking buttons I'm not supposed to. 💀 I kinda hope all my favorite twitter people keep moving here, because (for now) the vibes are pretty chill/nice.

So... fun fact. I realized this morning that my silverware drawer is currently empty. No forks, spoons... nothing. Dishwasher is also empty. I have two toddlers. I think this might be related. #parenting #toddlers #help

ATPC is inspired by a lot of nostalgia. There are TRON neon tracer bikes, virtual pets, tech cannibalized from Star Trek, skyrail skateboarding, Matrix-like villains, Terminator cybernetic enhancements. It's a love letter to the anime, games and media I grew up with. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Anyone else go back and re-read things they wrote *in the same draft of a current WIP* and think "wow this is great, no way I could have written this, no way I could ever write like this again"? Just me? cool cool cool #WritingCommunity #RevPit #amwriting

Fitting that #NaNoWriMo blames "community vitriol" for shutting down, not: * Refusing to investigate a mod grooming minors * Deleting posts about other incidents of grooming * Allowing said mod continued access to minors * Calling being anti-AI classist/ableist Yep, totally the community's fault.

Good morning, internets <3
