Drawing progress of my character Saphiris, the Mistira. There were even earlier iterations I disliked & didn’t think to save. Just finished the lineart yesterday, & happy with how she’s turning out! ✨🐉💖 #writingcommunity #art #dragon #dragontattoo #tattoo #indieauthors #WIP #writers #fantasy

Today, I finished editing Part One of Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials & sent it off to @amber.does.audio to begin narrating!! 😱🤩 I’m SO excited to be working with her and to hear her bring this passion project of mine I’ve been working on for the past 2 years to life! 🙌✨ #writingcommunity

“My entire world has contracted to this small, fluffy menace who claimed me through muffin theft and unmitigated emotional demolition.” —Veyla, the FMC of my sapphic sci-do romantasy, Star*Relic, on her animal familiar

Author. Illustrator. Person who talks about fictional world too much. 😄 I’m Velora Venn, & Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials is my original sci-fi romantasy series. I’m getting closer to finishing editing Book 1 & can’t wait for you to meet these characters! 💫 #WritingCommunity #sapphic #wlw

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week! 🏳️‍🌈💖✨ See the full post (with more images & tropes) on my Instagram: @VeloraVenn #wlw #sapphic #lesbianvisibilityweek #lesbianvisibility #lesbian #lgbt #lgbtqia #writingcommunity #indieauthor

Viric Vahlayr looks like every brooding Fae romance archetype: tall, shadowy, entropic soulcraft, wyrm familiar, low rough voice. But there just might be more to him than meets the eye… 🖤🌙 #charactersrt #drawing #writingcommunity #wlw #sapphicbooks #romantasy

Two hearts, one battlefield, and a very inconvenient propensity to feel everything at the worst possible moment. Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials is my upcoming hopepunk sapphic sci-fi romantasy. ✨🎶🪐💖 #WritingCommunity #wlw #sapphic #queerwriters #WIP

Veyla and Ash… The grumpy ⛈️ sunshine ☀️ romance you didn’t know you needed, featuring a happy-go-lucky, wears-her-heart-on-her-sleeve, newly-awakened clone of an ancient alien and a sharp-tongued Fae who would literally rather fight than admit she has feelings. #WritingCommunity #wlw #sapphic #lgbt

Had my hair cut pretty drastically last week (see the last 2 photos for what I looked like hours before it was cut). I was going for a bixie (bob+pixie hybrid), but my stylist got a bit carried away, so now I gotta wait for a couple inches to grow back to see if I like a true bixie look on me. 😅✨

#WIPSnips “step” 👣 Veyla (the protagonist in Star*Relic) just finished ADAPT (Adaptable Density Photonic Tactility) training in this excerpt, which is a hard light simulation. 💪 #WritingCommunity #WLW #sapphic #Snippet #QueerWriters #WIP #lesfic #sapphfic #SFF

IT’S TIME FOR #ChaosPit Join us for the third whacky April Fool’s Day event where you pitch your books as chaotically as possible, for funsies. Memes. AITA posts. Bad comps. Horrible elevator pitches. It’s all fair game. (I do not host this, just boosting as a mod for the discord that does.)

Part planet-hopping adventure, part #sapphic slow-burn, & all heart, ✨Star*Relic✨ follows a found family of soulcrafters (magick users), some of whom are #queer, #neurodivergent, aroace, or disabled heroes, all fighting to save the galaxy. 💖 #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Scifi

Xyra, 1 of 3 Star*Relics from my upcoming book ✨💥 She is known as the Defender of the Star System. In her Star*Relic Mode, her wrist cuff transforms into a plasma cannon bracer. #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Sapphic #Art #Illustration

I updated the logo & book covers! ✨💖🪐🤖✨ Star*Relic is a sapphic sci-fi romantasy about lost worlds, magick, & girls who refuse to let the universe decide who they get to be. #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #Scifi #Sapphic #Art #BookIllustration

Just finished this drawing that took me a while but that was absolutely so fun to make of my FMC from Star*Relic, Veyla, & her snarky frenemy-to-lover, Ash, along with some magickal companions & the barn owl hologram of AION, overseer of worlds. #WritingCommunity #WIP #Art #Writesky #SFF #Sapphic

Good morning, creatives! These past few days, I've been reading through my WIP from the beginning. I'm looking for inconsistencies and things I might've missed. Doing so helps me move forward. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity Here's something I found on FB. So true!

Loving my new setup 🤩 After years on the same chair, I finally upgraded. Dual monitors, a chair that lights up and plays audio, a bigger desk, & a gorgeous keyboard! Thanks, Black Friday. Total glow-up ✨ Only survivor is my multi-button gamer mouse. Excited to write (and eventually game 😆) here!

Hi! I’m Vel, sapphic romantasy writer crafting Star*Relic, a grumpy/sunshine, masc/femme, frenemies-to-lovers #romantasy with She-Ra, Horizon Zero Dawn, & K-Pop Demon Hunters vibes 💖✨🎶🎤🪐🤖🐉 #QueerPrompts #WIP #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #Authors #Scifi #Sapphic #sapphfic #mascfemme

#QueerPrompts Nov 30 I finished my second massive round of edits on my 400,000 word #sapphic sci-fi #romantasy, Star*Relic. I’m currently working on the next round of edits & then have a few more drawings planned. Still saving to hire @amberdoesaudio.bsky.social 💖🎤🎧 #WritingCommunity

COVER REVEAL! My cover for my newest Realm of Monsters novella where Callista and her girlfriend, Roxanne, go to the Underworld to save Joan, Callista's dead girlfriend, to bring her to her heavens. Lots of love, banter, angst, and heartbreak. #WritingCommunity.

#WIPSnips “dedicate” The moment Kael, the Merperson, joins Team Star*Relic ✨🫧 #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #Skywriters #FantasyWriters #lesfic #sapphfic #LGBTQIACommunity #ButchFemme #SapphicBooks #mascfemme

#WIPSnips “disorganize” ✨ Happy Thanksgiving! May today offer a moment of gratitude, no matter how it arrives. 💖 Excerpt from Ash’s POV, the grumpy half of the grumpy/sunshine dynamic in my #sapphic sci-fi #romantasy, Star*Relic. 🫂 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Excerpt #Snippet #AmWriting

This is the emblem of the Restorer of Balance Star*Relic. AION is a hyper-advanced AI hologram, and her 6 eyes represent the 6 artificial planets (known as Nodes) that she was designed to oversee, maintain, and regulate in my upcoming #sapphic #romantasy, Star*Relic. #Art #Drawing #WritingCommunity

Everyone on the planet Elysia in my #WIP, Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials, has an animal familiar from the age of 10. Veyla, the protagonist, has Poof, a Floon. Poof is cat-like with a giant personality. #WritingQ #WritingCommunity #SFF #Sapphic #Romantasy #SciFi #Fantasy

Love this art! 😍

#WIPSnips “spend” A reflection from Ash’s POV (the frenemy/lover) in Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials, a #sapphic sci-fi #romantasy with She-Ra, Horizon Zero Dawn, & KPop Demon Hunters vibes. ✨ #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF

Everix Goldspire and Venyra Vespera. One the ancestor of the headmistress of Skyspire Magick Academy. The other the Primordial whom Veyla, the FMC/Star*Relic was cloned from. Because Venyra was a lesbian, so too is Veyla. 😄 #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Sapphic #mascfemme

“Ha. Boob.” One of my favorite little humorous parts in Star*Relic from Ash’s perspective (the frenemy/lover). 😄 #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Excerpt #Snippet

Here are 2 generations of Skyspire Academy’s guardians: Dorm Master Zara Goldspire & her mother, Headmistress Zorina Goldspire. Their bloodline can be traced back to the age of the Primordials. ✨ #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #CharacterArt #Drawing #Art #Fantasy

“Fury is fuel.” Ash, the razor-tongued frenemy-to-lover in my #sapphic #scifi #romantasy Star*Relic, is nothing if not relentless. She meets every battle & heartbreak with the same defiant resolve that dares the universe to challenge her twice. #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP

#QueerPrompts Ryn Redtide, the trans woman whose strength was forged in the storms of Primora. Her story is one of survival & defiance. Her scars are a testament to an iron will that refuses to break, no matter how fierce the fire or how cold the world. #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WIP #Trans

Venyra Vespera, the final daughter of a dying age, a Primordial whose brilliance birthed both salvation and ruin, and the woman from whom Veyla, the Star*Relic, was cloned. #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #lesfic #sapphfic

Star*Relic thrives on hope! It’s the heartbeat of the story. I’d rate it a solid 9 or 10. Despite all the peril & cosmic doom. 😆😁 Hope shines brightest through Veyla/the FMC’s whimsy & irrepressible, goofy belief that light can still reach even the darkest corners. ☀️ #GrumpySunshine #QueerPrompts

#WIPSnips “trail” The gang is navigating some treacherous terrain… 🏔️🌊 Think Skull Island from King Kong. #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #lesfic #sapphfic #LGBTQIACommunity #ButchFemme #SapphicBooks

Sadly, spooky week has come to an end, and we are somehow squarely in November now. The #WIPSnips words for November 3rd through November 9th are here! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WIPSnips “ancestors” “…inwardly cringing uncontrollably for the next…eternity.” 😂😅😅😅 Veyla, the protagonist of Star*Relic, misplaced a very important Primordial Fragment that rearranged itself into a magickal ring for her. Oops! #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Scifi #Sapphic

Happy Halloween, fans! 💛💜✨🎤🎶🎵💋 Lights, chaos, demons…and a killer outfit! Rumi over here ready for both the stage and the apocalypse. 💪🗡️ #KPopDemonHunters #RumiCosplay #Rumi #KPopDemonHunters #DemonHunters #KPopDemonHuntersCostume #RumiCostume #Halloween #Halloween2025

Just wrapped edits on Chapter 62 of Star*Relic (one of my favorites)! It’s very satisfyingly written through the lens of a young lesbian who’s been beaten down her entire life & finally claims her own power, not by becoming what the world told her to be, but by rising above it. 💪 #WritingCommunity
