We need to fundamentally restructure the educational system if we're going to combat AI. Unfortunately, education doesn't have a great track record of quickly pivoting to address societal concerns. #teaching

-Childhood sweethearts to lovers -Mexican-American War and the Americans are The Bad Guys -She saves him -Monstrous vampires #Bookvember

A proper day for boomed yuri to come out 🙂‍↕️

#WIPSnips | shirt = vest Lennie's first (& probably last) time being intoxicated. She's gonna have a hell of a hangover. 😅 From my post-apocalyptic #WIP w/ a misfit trio of kids (one a little stranger than the rest). #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #amwriting

Happy #WIPSnips 12 - Shirt! Ten years after the summer when they met, Edie is having a hard time seeing Milo again 🙏🙏

The #WIPSnips word for November 12th is "shirt" When Genevieve sees her hated rival for the first time in three years (during which time she did some desperate fed shopping)

Sometimes you delve deep into your character’s psyche, and sometimes you need a little frivolous fun for them. I remember this truth or dare scene being such fun to write. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

#Bookvember Day 12 Okay. So I have read it YET, but this one by Charlie Jane Anders is at the tippy top of my TBR. #BookSky #WriteSky #Books #Authors #WritingCommunity

This is one of my favorite questions to ask people, tbh 🩷

Wren and Spencer have to figure out sleeping arrangements for the night. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

#WIPSnips 12. "Shirt" Going with "kebaya" for, uh, something different today. I decided to write an AU sequence scene for that first Kinktober short, as a wee treat before writing another emotionally heavy EF chapter, so... here's a tease 👀 #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #Ashtara #QueerWriters #WriteSky

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Another shorter one today! It's Rent Day, so everyone's expected to wear their "good" clothes (i.e. the least shitty ones, lol) From #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.

What’s better than a dead person’s bloody shirt? Socks! #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#Bookvember BORN BOTH: AN INTERSEX LIFE is a memoir written by Latinx author Hida Viloria about their experience growing up intersex and exploring their gender identity. Being intersex myself, I wanted to share a work from an author like me because intersex representation is very rare.

I had to scroll by like 9 slutty instances of shirt in their section before finding the flirty, but still slutty, one. 😁 #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want!

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want! In case it wasn't clear... #Tenement

I've held off on this too long. In honor of the third Bludeye book being drafted: 1 like = 1 fact about Milo Vance.

The #WIPSnips word for November 11th is “burger” Across two completed manuscripts and three WIPs, this is somehow my only instance of “burger,” despite it being one of my favourite foods. From figure skating body swap WIP…

Sharing this stunning piece I had commissioned from @professoremily.bsky.social for my little post-apoc kiddos! Thank you so much, Emily!! You’re the best! Featuring: Micah, Lennie, and the one-and-only Shrimp. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

comm wip for @eliwoodsgheist.com 💜💜

No burgers, but we do have Naan Mirka, a spicy sweet dish from the country of Kashad. From my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

#Bookvember Chuck Tingle is an ND author whom I greatly admire. The portrayal of both queerness and neurodiversity in his works really resonate with me. CAMP DAMASCUS in particular is my favorite.

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior - It's been a subject of fascination for me since my youth and I will forever be a Great Lakes Girlie youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI?...

My OCs are a load bearing structure for my mental health.

I love this book not just because it’s masterfully written (the movie is incredible too) but also because I share the MCs wish to write what makes me happy despite the pressure from stereotypes to write stereotypical stories about PoC filled with violence, poverty, drugs, etc which I totally could+

The #WIPSnips word for November 10th is “local” Even in Book 2, Chloé still loves pizza, though in this scene she’s taken Beth to Pizza Hut instead of a quality local restaurant (Also, Beth not liking pepperoni isn’t just a random character quirk… there’s an important backstory there)

Happy #WIPSnips 10 - Local! Local just so happens to be one of the key words in Bludeye Beach 😇

#bookvember The Parable Duology by Octavia E. Butler should be required reading and I will not hear otherwise. 🩷

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Bit of a stretch, but I'm going with ✨vibes✨ Constance Blake seeks out a local place to help her new daughter born without a charagma. From #Charagma, my SFF dystopia about a world where all people are marked saved or damned from birth.

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky From early in the book, in a section that gives a brief overview of what the Good Thyme Inn is all about...

#bookvember I'm copying the host and saying The Locked Tomb trilogy by Tamsyn Muir. These are such an absolutely wild ride that I want to read again and again. I love how Tamsyn wasn't afraid to take chances.

Spencer, Bruce, and Molly interrogate an interloper. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

Danbi considers what she knows and what she still needs to know. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

Introducing Daemrin, the MMC of THE CRUCIBLE OF THE BROKEN MOON, my space opera romantasy. In this snip from Ch 2, he butts heads with Belenos' Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wellay. "Moonie" is a pejorative referencing the Katorgan emblem/symbol, the broken moon. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

Happy #WIPSnips 8 - Little! From RETURN TO BLUDEYE BEACH. Edie's voice teacher Will Zangari is trying to help her with stage fright ❤️

Crucial preparations for an underworld visit involve making sure the spotter is also comfy. 🙂‍↕️ #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

Danbi having a conversation with her best friend’s grandfather, one of the few adults in her life who cares to give her advice. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

#Bookvember THE HANDMAID'S TALE by Margaret Atwood. This book has stuck with me since I first read it 20 years ago. The themes of bodily autonomy and government control can resonate with many women but truly extend to everyone. “Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum” 🩷

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky When Mem & Light first meet, she doesn't pick up on the red flags that he might have some... Luigi tendencies. (And I don't mean the Mario brother 😅) From #Charagma, my SFF dystopia where all people are marked saved or damned from birth.

Happy #WIPSnips 7 - Movement! Teenagers being teenagers, amiright?

Reposting is not enough. You guys need to hear this.

From the first chapter of THE CRUCIBLE OF THE BROKEN MOON, my space opera romantasy. The FMC, Lex, is eating dinner with her family (father Marcas, uncle Hendry, cousin Malina) and about to get herself in trouble by interjecting with a pesky topic. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Constance Blake is dreaming/reminiscing about her husband, who's currently away on a dangerous mission. From my new WIP #Charagma, a SFF dystopia where all people are born saved or damned, & the Elect have a holy mark on their forehead.

commission: sybil & jeph for @khonri.com 💖 [ #art #artcommission #OCart #OCsky ]

Little worldbuilding thread on Cructics (will add more as brain permits!). But first some show and tell. I have two characters in generation one gang that are of Cructic descent: Sybil is full-blooded and Zola is mixed (Cructic mother, Genhokuan father).

#Bookvember Pizza Hut was the only one monitoring my reading. I spent a lot of time at the library or reading in my room so no one else had any idea what I was reading. I did enjoy the freedom it gave me, though. 🩷

#NovemberWorldbuilders Let's go with where white hair came from. The now "long dead" people of Rhir Sief the origin for this trait. Like how we'd tone bleached hair in real life to produce this look, this comes from a purple pigment protein in the hair shaft that is perceived as white. 🧵1/4

#Bookvember 6 #WIPSsnips today got me thinking about Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. I always loved the Very Fine Drawings by Brett Helquist! The style is so unique & they have just the right gothic vibes. The cover image of The Wide Window was what first enticed me to read them ❤️
