i present to you, dear readers......Dogwood #Lovember

Oh we're doing that, huh. First line, here we go. Available at marinestjean.ca/remember-monsters/ On KU on Jan 31st.

Heard we're talking about Kobo Plus today 👀 If you love indie sci-fi with a bunch of sad, snarky young adults at the end of the world, Bridges of Smoke just may be the book for you - and it's free to read on K+ www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

This is how Kas would post thirst traps of her man on tiktok. #OCs #OCsky

For the past 3 days I've stayed off any website with endless scrolling (aka doom scrolling), except for a brief window right after putting my kids to bed during which I log in and see what the beloved moots are up to. And I've been so freaking bored I (re)wrote over 3.5k in 3 days Gonna keep it up

How much can a guy get slapped around and beat up and injured before it shifts into horror? Asking for a me. And my poor space miners

K: painting, "the hunt" R: dancing O: canned peaches W: his Haven (home), the collar (?? to be explored) put them in that order cuz KROW is cooler than WORK. #Lovember

2007: Wesley. No idea what drew me to this name. I had not yet seen THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 2016: Owen & Kenzie started as side characters that got random names out of thin air. 2020(?): Rowan. Only one with "meaning." Every Donovan is named for a plant that repels fairies: Ash, Daisy, &c.

i'm still here! keeping my head down in the WIP. broke 21k in #dogwood2 rewrite today. and i'm at 15% in LES MISERABLES.

Can I just give a shoutout to my narrator, Ellen Dunbavin? I just reviewed chapter 23 and almost had a heart attack at the gym. For anyone looking for a sapphic romance narrator, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

He doesn’t have rizz. 😔 #OCs #OCsky

Updated Inana portrait 🔥 Inana is Rakara's cousin. I don't really talk about them much to avoid spoilers, BUT Ina has killed a man before and that's all you really need to know. #OCs | #art | #OCsky

#Kinktober #IndieKinktober My final, late submission to the challenge. Tried for a short story, ended up with a 10000+ word novelette. FA www.furaffinity.net/view/62927515/ AO3 archiveofourown.org/works/716891... 🏷️ #furry #lesbian #vore #unbirth #endo #endosoma #samesize #lactationkink #aftercare

Wesley is fey: he could make it so no trespasser could ever find your house. You can't even find your house. It's Wesley's house now. The plants are doing well; they grew teeth and ate the pets.

When I go to a mutual's page and it takes an extra second to load so I'm sat there like "damn. They blocked me"

I have toooo many hits for "little" so I'll share just this single line for #WIPSnips 👀: “He seems cut of Rupert’s cloth, albeit a very little square of it.”

this was hilarious. you are slay'd.

#Writevember : Last sentence I wrote (2 days ago) was "Owen would not fail. Not that badly. Not again." And it's the first arc of book 2 in a 4 book series about him failing. Hoping to hit 20k in the total rewrite today (think I started in first or second week of October.)

Anytime you let those "never adverbs" people get in your head, remember that Andrej Sapkowski got away with this line in a Number 1 NYT Bestseller: "her earrings shaking and tingling. Gently, but ostentatiously and impudently." #writers #writesky #itburns #witcher

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Reading LES MISERABLES like "wow....this shit sad"

Chapter 2.5.EX of Europa University: Admissions is out! This is my first ‘extra credit’ chapter, featuring the masturbation scene from the previous chapter from Bel’s perspective, along with eir porn and accompanying thoughts, fantasies, and memories. But it's got some special caveats:

Betrayal out of love and necessity + bloody redemption. Second chance/Reconciliation but neither of us is who we used to be so it's like starting from square one but with more scars this time. #Lovember

(1/3) #bookvember After years of unsupervised reading, my mom stole my copy of NAKED LUNCH in my teens. This scarred me to become secretive and weird. 😅 I know there's a life-imitates-art element to what we "consume." But there were things in my head long before I saw them reflected on a page.

Made the decision to make a second Instagram account for my author content and keep my original as reading & review content only I've either just made the best decision possible, or I'll lose my audience If my wips and vibe seem like your thing, find me on insta under @ authorstasiaroze #booksky

I like writing people who are too clever for their own good getting absolutely wrecked by positively valenced emotional content that they are unable to intellectualize away #lovember

I'm putting together an indie SFF list on pagebound! Feel free to leave suggestions (self recs encouraged!). I'll be slowly updating it as I organize my TBR from hell pagebound.co/lists/e38f18...

#lovember archetypes: Predator/prey Dom/sub (but they're both switches) Self-worthless martyr clawing his way up that sacrificial altar/clueless idiot "My love is your problem"/"you're my favorite problem to have" And finally w/e category this Owen dialogue I jotted down for later falls under:

I'm making shit for the kind of people who get really excited when they realize the author wants them to pick up on weird details and overthink them. But they have to be perverts.

We at 18.9k in the #dogwood2 rewrite y'all ✊😌 That's 1/5 possibly even 1/4 of the way done.

at the rate i am going i'll finish LES MISERABLES in 40-45 days but i will nonetheless finish it

Queers and questioning folk exploring different shapes of intimacy. Those with desires they fear, or don't know how to realize. Kinky folk whose passions run deep. Horny people whose hearts are full of love. Romantics whose groins are full of lust. People whose shadow-selves need enrichment.

Me. Aud. the AUDience. Whom I write for. I desperately need these stories.

I’ve been thinking it might be fun to host a writing jam on itch (using their game jam function but for flash fiction/short stories/novelettes) and then have voting to have a certain number of submissions to be created into a zine. Would people be into that?

I'm going old school. I want to reach a wealthy patron who intends to shower me with gifts and money in the vain hope that I might produce another work this year.

#Novmemeber Song that reminds me of "Hell Is Work"? That's an easy one. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

CW vore I’m only just getting to the part where I wrap this up and I think what I intended to be a short story has evolved into a novelette by now. Maybe once I finish this thing I pull my nose off this grindstone for just a little while

Can't recommend this enough. I asked the crows when my love would be coming back, because he went away so long ago, to fight in someone else's war, and the crows said: "Deep inside the banked fires of the heart, Where love once lived, And lips once part -ed to whisper the secret names of love, 1/

Thanks for these questions! Memories are such an interesting topic to discuss! If you’d like to check out the book I was discussing, here it is! Universal Link: books2read.com/u/bzNng9 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/sweet-wild Cover by @northyme.com

THE RESULTS ARE IN:

#novmemeber #DogwoodPlaylist : this is a good crash course in Owen/Wesley/Kenzie dynamics😆 "You could kill me and you should I'm an idiot for thinking this was anything but blood On the wall On the couch On the corner of my mouth You must like being the victim You've done nothing to get out"

First drafts are so beautiful because they really showcase the author's anxiety that the reader will apparently forget the MC's name if she doesn't use it in every sentence at least twice. And then absolutely zero dialogue tags. #dogwood2

Charlie's "what is your MC's fursona?" prompt has shown us that all the MCs are wolves, except for the wolf MC, who is a bird.

Green flags for Lord Blackthorne for #Novmemeber 💚 - Fun loving! - Great sense of humor! - Can take what he dishes out! - Doesn't take himself or anyone else too seriously! - Hates Puritans! - Has had smallpox! - Doesn't have syphilis!? (allegedly)

I finished the first draft of S&T a week and a half ago. I forgot to share the last lines. #roanwrites
