#LGBTQWriteAThon While I enjoy them while I read, I really can't be bothered coming up with a title for each chapter. A title for the whole book is difficult enough.

Made a new moodboard for my dark fantasy #WIP Expect 📿 a rebellious, imprisoned priest 🦢 a God of Love with a savior complex. They sit, of course, at the center of the moodboard 💔 a toxic god/priest romance (m/nb) 🗡️ a demon assassin turning on her master 🔥 a rebellion against a fascist empire

#LGBTQWriteAThon I'm hoping to make progress on the section leading into the third act of Ruination, which needs a bit more rewriting unfortunately, but I do have a better idea for the plot now

I hope to make some more progress revising A Ruination called Love, which I'm over halfway in now. Getting from first to second draft is always difficult, but it's turning into... something.

Writing the toxic relationship between the genuinely well meaning Love God with a savior complex and their priest is a lot of fun. I love it when characters want to do good, but what they manage to accomplish is... less than great. #amwriting

I wrote an essay on The Nerd Daily about the importance of writing female characters that refuse to shrink themselves — especially in these Ozempic times. It’s the most personal thing I’ve written so far and I hope you read it. (trigger warnings: ED and fatphobia) thenerddaily.com/danai-christ...

Finished my painting of two of the main characters of Mage WIP, soon to enter the query trenches.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Putting all my #questpit pitches together in one post First of all, my querying project with a fake Chosen One:

🧙 The Era of Mages, where magic slowly kills its wielders and a mage and his partner seek to end this 🔬 The Era of Science, where magic researchers must end a Blight ravaging all that lives Tragedy connects these eras, and only untangling its roots can save the world #Questpit #A #F #LGBT #ND #W

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY x THE RAVEN SCHOLAR 👁️ a gay seer burdened with saving the world 🚒 a butch lesbian firefighter he convinces she's the Chosen One 😱 a Fear based apocalypse set to end everything Without a real Chosen One, what could possibly go wrong? #Questpit #A #F #LGBT #ND #Q

Once Upon A Broken Heart x Daughter Of No Worlds x Dark Water Daughter A maid and a pirate hunting for a mythical stone spark a budding romance, but when his past threatens their mission & her bff's life, she must betray her heart to save her friend. #QuestPit #NA #RF #Editing

GODKILLER x WITCH KING 🏰 An empire built on hatred of demons 🗡️ An escaped demon assassin 🏛️ A condemned priest ❤️ And the newly born god of Love Together, they must return compassion to the world. But Love is a dangerous force, and its god is no different. #Questpit #A #F #DF #W #LGBT

It’s been a long journey getting here. Details on the agency to come at a later time, but I am now officially agented! (I think my ghost hunters are taking the news with the utmost grace.) #amwriting #amquerying #amagented

He's the only thing standing between college students and certain death. Unfortunately, teen monster hunter Daniel is responsible for more civilian deaths than monster kills, and unless he can find the key to a power he doesn't believe in, his new friends will pay the price... #QuestPit #YA #Q #UF
