Hello Bluesky I'm still alive, that is all.

An army of dragons disappearing. An unseen killer on the loose. Nothing's ever easy. HI! I have a new book on the way! The sequel to Shadow's Fate is called Dragon's Blood and it'll be out later this year. (Yes, the explosion WAS necessary.) #indieauthor #writingcommunity #indiebook #booksky 1/3

I HEARD IT'S INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY HAVE SOME CATS #internationalcatday #catsky #catsofbluesky

So is it hashbrowns all the way down over here too, or just on Threads?

I've written the word "thief" approximately 26472974 times in this manuscript and I still occasionally type "theif."

"What if I treat myself to a not getting out of bed day?" I ask myself as if this is somehow different than a "walking fifty feet to my couch" day.

So I bought a new printer and some sticker paper and holo laminate and spent yesterday afternoon gleefully messing with printer settings and decorating my laptop. I may or may have a cricut on the way now.

This line goes out to every shitty nepo baby boss I've ever had. ✌️ #writingcommunity #writersky #indieauthor #amwriting

Working at the Koszali royal palace is great riiight up until you get tackled by an errant baby dragon. #indieauthor #wip #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

Trying to commit to posting here at least once a day, and by that I mean I'm procrastinating on editing. #indieauthor #booksky #writingcommunity

Sooo does everyone else have a little callus/dent on their pinky finger where their phone rests, or am I just on mine too much?

Friendly reminder that my book, Shadow's Fate, is certified feline approved! Atlas says his favorite character is Vavel the dragon because they're basically a giant flying cat. #indieauthor #booksky #catsky #writingcommunity #catsofbluesky

I keep telling myself I should use Bluesky more only to occasionally drop off a cat pic and then disappear again for weeks.

Friends, colleagues, denizens of the internet, I implore you...to look at this widdle face oh my GOD 🥺 #caturday

This line makes perfect sense to Drafting Me, but I fear Editing Me will not be so lucky. #writersky #writingcommunity #indieauthor

Hey so if you, like me, aren't feeling very celebratory this July 4th, how about supporting an indie author and a non-American company, and picking up a book where the rich man with unchecked political power is explicitly the bad guy? #booksky #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Yes I am writing fantasy with gaslamp era technology. Yes they do still use swords and crossbows instead of firearms. Yes my formal explanation for this *is* "swords are cool." #writersky #indieauthor #amwriting

LOW EFFORT MARKETING POST: If anyone needs a break from the celebrity divorce, might I recommend my book in which the ego-driven rich man with unchecked political power is, explicitly, the villain? And the heroes are his estranged daughter and a Robin Hood-coded thief? (And there's dragons?)

The best/worst part of being an adult is that no one can stop me from a) buying these and b) eating them for dinner.

Hi I forgot about Bluesky again, but Happy Pride from this aspec author and please enjoy a WIP scene of my FMC and another character being very demi and aro, respectively. 💜🖤🩶🤍 #indieauthor #wip #writingcommunity #pridemonth #acepride

Ma'am I really need to finish this. Ma'am please remove your paw. Stop. MA'AM. #cats #catsofbluesky

Next time I want to put a feathered dragon in a book, someone remind me to consider how much extra time promo art is going to take. #art #digitalart #indieauthor #wip

POV: You're a shapeshifting beast girl and your BF bought you a magic dress that changes size with you. #amwriting #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Went to see Princess Mononoke in IMAX and naturally the first thing I did when I came home was go "okay but what if MY book was a Ghibli film?" I'm not saying it's a good fit but like...I wouldn't say no. #studioghibli #ghiblistyle #booksky

Felt cute might delete later idk #conceptart #creaturedesign

He thinks he's a model. #caturday

Me: I really need to finish this editing. Also me: *spends two hours writing up worldbuilding details that may never see the light of day*

Hey. Psst. Do you like supporting indie authors? Are you trying to dodge Amazon? Because you can get my book totally free on Itchio for one more day! hazumirein.itch.io/shadows-fate

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

Okay it's been like two days on this site, am I allowed to talk about my book yet? Because I just released a book. If you like Slavic myth, shapeshifting beast girls, thieves with moral dilemmas, unhinged fake kidnapping plots, and/or goofy nonbinary dragons, boy do I have a thing for you!

Can I offer you some dragons in these trying times?

Joining a new social media site is like being the new kid in class. You just like, sit awkwardly in the back and hope someone talks to you.
