The playlist for my sapphic Sleeping Beauty retelling, with Don't Think Twice by Hikaru Utada being a good main theme to represent the journey and romance. open.spotify.com/playlist/4HZ... #DVparty

My main cast in a nutshell. #DVparty

"Kena waited for her father as she sat homeless on the streets. She only had her clothes stained from years of farmwork and her drawing book. The latter granted her sole comfort throughout her endless wandering." #DVparty

Kena: A misanthropic artist persecuted for her macabre interests who fled her home to find peace away from people, bringing her to the supposedly abandoned Paradise Manor. Vilencia: A shaman trapped in Paradise Manor. Despite her appearance, she’s a bubbly socialite who longs for company. #DVparty

Post a female character you love. Sara Lance from Legends of Tomorrow.

If you are heading into the query process looking for a traditional agent for your new novel, you will be asked for comps. You shouldn't use books released more than 3 years ago. Your comps should be fresh and good sellers, and be in the right subgenre for your novel. #writingcommunity #booksky

Love interest? I'd rather see more hate interests. Two people who are destined to be enemies, forever fighting until death do they part. #BookSky

Did a test setup for the table layout 🥰 Ready for the book fair 🤩 (Candles are LED 🕯️) I've decided to give away all the cards with the out-of-print cover. I'll also bring a few books of that edition for the collectors. ~Spicy & Steamy book event, Amsterdam Rai, Oct 4. spicysteamybookevent.nl 🌈📚💙🌶️📚

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Sometimes I think back to the first time I went to a library. How magical it felt. Even now, I still feel nostalgic for those times. Glad to know the one from my childhood is still around and inspiring young people. #BookSky

A video game trope that always gets me is the "Character gets into bed with their default clothing". Like, bro, you're lying down with a full suit of armor and those dirty boots? No wonder you left your mom's house to go on an adventure. You got no cleanliness, no decency, and no pajamas.

Thank goodness for digital books. If I had as many physical books as there are now on my tablet, I could build a house with them, let alone stuff them in my home😅 #BookSky

Every time I hear about Metal Gear Solid, it makes me want to play, then I remember I'm bad at stealth games😵‍💫

I feel like playing Yu-Gi-Oh -> Opens Master Duel -> Gets reminded that the meta is bad right now -> Closes game -> I feel like playing Yu-Gi-Oh...

What defines a slow-burn can mean different things to different people. For me, a slow-burn is plenty of build-up to a kiss by the end of a novel. More intimate stuff can come in the sequels. #BookSky

I don't like watching horror media, but I like watching videos about horror media. I'm just weird like that.

You know you're a writer when you try to take a break for a month from writing, and you're already getting the urge to start a new novel. #Author #WritersCommunity

Get back to work!!

The only AI I like is when my party members in a game are smart enough to not die in two seconds from AOE damage.

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

Drop some dancing

A beta reader told me a character in my book was aura farming, and I was thinking, "The character can drain magic from other people, though farming is an odd way of putting it." Then I learned what they really meant. What a way to learn a new term😅 #Author #WritingCommunity

If you see this, QTP with the anime you’re currently watching!

Been playing the Final Fantasy 7 remake series, and gosh, I always hear about Sephiroth, but Hojo, man. This guy is on another level of evil. Surprised I didn't hear much about him on top FF villain lists. Sephiroth has got the cool factor, but Hojo's got that griminess that makes you want him gone.

My romances are like enemies-to-lovers, except remove "enemies" and "lovers" and leave the "to", because they're always stuck in the middle. #WritersCommunity #Author

I've had my fill of cozies. Now I want rage. Defiance. Vengeance. Messy, flawed protagonists who embrace their inner darkness and go wild against an unfair world. #BookSky

*Emerges from the query trenches* If there's one thing more stressful than completing a book, it's sending it out to agents. Making sure it's a good fit, that your query is personalized, and worst of all, the wait. The anxiety-inducing wait😵‍💫 #WritingCommunity #Author

This one person said, "I wish there was something like a free-to-play or demo version of books so you can see you if you like them before you buy." And I was like, "There's this awesome invention you won't believe. They're called libraries." #BookSky

Post a GIF of the best anime you’ve watched so far this year! A bit LTTP, but I've been loving Frieren so far!

It's crazy to think that my 109 000 word novel went down to 98 000 words without changing or removing a single scene. It was all unnecessary filler words. Just comes to show how much one can tighten their writing. #WritingCommunity #Author

This is just Machias and Jusis, the toxic bromance of Legend of Heroes.

If you see this, quote this post with a male character you love! Zack Fair, the precious cinnamon roll.

Given the state of things, I'm starting to move away from dark and depressing stories. They're fine and all, but I want more tales about positivity, empowerment, and joy. Got to take a break from harsh reality sometimes. #BookSky

Everyone would be happier if we could just do what we love without worrying about working to pay for our livelihoods.
