Today was several kinds of rough but I have manhwa and roasted chickpeas and peanuts and dark chocolate chips so at least the end of the day won't be terrible

Ohhhh shock, awe, I had put 8 more hours past midnight into this bundle on setup apparently so you still got a bit of time to claim your free free free stories!

My chronically ill ass refreshing my test results portal well before it's likely any of them will be in lol

New State of the Metacosm up on the site! Got some cool stuff about to expire (like Lesbians in Space 2 which ends Sept 30th!) and I talk a bit about where I am in burnout recovery and the progress we've made on Everdark Redux Take Fifteen. www.metacosmchronicles.com/2025/09/22/s...

Last day for the Itch Short Story Bundle! Soooo many stories from 20 different authors! All kinds of types to keep you on your toes. And best of all, it's freeeeeee. Get yours here: itch.io/b/3272/free-... #Writing #Writer #IndieAuthor #BookSky #Free #Download

Just doodling my new android character instead of editing bc keyboard problems lol. Umbra's been cartwheeling around in my head since his shortstory/novella bludgeoned me in the head, so he deserves a doodle!

Free stories!! Only til tomorrow! #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Writing

This stuff. I ordered it accidentally but it’s actually super good??

Thank you so much Machelle! While I mostly spoke about Azra (a char in a book I'm querying), I have a sci-fi robot friendship cozy novella coming out in November! It deals with robots, sentience, cyborgs, dystopia, capitalism, and FASHION!!! #TBBChat #TLM #Writing #Booksky

Thank you for allowing me to host, #TBBchat. It's been great chatting with you all! Well, I have a lot going on. I write on medium. Working on a lot of projects. Buuuuut, Fairy Seasons is my biggest project. Check it out if you love dark, Fairy themed stuff! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

I missed TBB this year but hopefully you'll see me next year, and in the meantime check out my writing (and a bunch of other super cool writers, some of whom ARE in TBB!) in this Itch bundle, free for only the next few days! itch.io/b/3272/free-... #TBBChat #BookSky #WriteSky

Ackchually~ A recurring main character in Metacosm is Spiraea, Ascended (God) of Nature. In our novel The Fractured Balance, she even finds her mate in Faran, an elf who accepts (and loves) that nature is as dangerous as it is beautiful. #TBBChat

Okay this is cliche af but Redd (one of my main characters) loves cats lmao. It's actually a crime I haven't drawn her with a cat in like a decade ... I should do that. #TBBChat

Tbh the water bear is how I aspire to live my life: unbothered, unkillable, and incomprehensible. #TBBChat #Bugsky

I love folklore about fey beings. (Being a cryptid myself) The idea of something being Not Quite Here or not exactly obeying physics has always fascinated me. (As you can tell with my characters oops lol) #TBBChat

Hi #TBBChat!! I'm N of N.A. Soleil. My partner A and I write a scifi/fantasy universe inspired by comic books/games/TTRPGs. I'm also an artist and I'm always drawing our babies haha

things are Happening

Question: when was the last time you read a 300-500 page book (100k-120k) from an indie author you didn't know/hadn't read their other books? Just from seeing the cover/reading the synopsis? #BookSky #WritingCommunity #ReadSky

to combat my ADHD I've been doing this thing where I write down the things I did that day. Today was Bad and I needed to rest. Rather than leaving it blank and knowing I'll feel bad about it later I specifically wrote in that Rest is a Task. Hopefully I can train my brain to believe it lol

It's Queer Your eReader day, hosted by @divinationhollow.bsky.social! During Sept 20th, find so many different SFF queer books on sale for the nice price of free! Like Wherever the Stars Call, my sci fi adventure! Find all the participating books here ➡️ divinationhollow.com/queer-your-e... ! 🚀

feeling very this today. fuck, I need a break.

It's only my bday for another couple hours so last share for tonight 🖤 #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I have a bad habit of reviewing psych books I hate. Please enjoy my feral rage about a research psychologist comparing himself to Jesus in a Facebook mom describing convos with a toddler style anecdote that absolutely did not happen. #bookreview vico-whitmore.medium.com/book-review-...

The Project:Freqs script refers to Zev as being feral pretty frequently so I had my pick lol #Writing #TBBPrompt

Brooke flouts the rules because she likes to hand feed the local wolves as they reminded her of Azra... Before he could be there with her again, that is #MfL #EiF #Writing #TBBPrompt #WritingPrompt

Congrats! Hi I’m Sygnin , I draw stuff. Sometimes it’s dark. Sometimes it’s just a lot of inky lines! 🖤

Hi! I'm Aimee. I do dark ethereal ominous works a lot of the times. I also have a book coming out in November: TheLuckyMachine.com that is more sci-fi, but hits you with the dark dystopia in all the right places.

This is actually wild. 15k? Y'all. 🥰 It's been a while since we've had a dark art share. Share your darkest, creepiest, ominous, wonderful works. This is for dark artworks with ALT TEXT on them only. Non-alted posts will get hidden so don't be that guy! Let's GO! #ArtShare #DarkArt

I do a lot of complaining so here's some not-complaining: nothing like sitting in the dark after everybody's gone to sleep under a blanket in a comfy chair eating chocolate with a sleeping kitty nearby and listening to pounding bass beamed directly into the brainstem while working on Fun Writing.

Whew. Managed to eke out my Work Writing. Time to take a break. With some For Fun Writing.

A snippet of tonight's writing from Project:Freqs. Firbolg may be the biggest of the lot but he's probably also the most sensitive lol #Writing #OC

today is a Certified Bad Day but this is giving me so much stimmy dopamine rn music.youtube.com/watch?v=ycSD...

new study says "want to get rid of autism? Capitalism and fascism has to go first."

Been a *heavy sigh* great morning. Yup. Just.... great.

Essential (1/3)

I have a goal... A dream, really. Is it possible? Not sure. But we can sure try! I would LOVE to distribute 1,000 copies of The Warm Machine by November. I am 275 copies away from this goal.
