Me: I’m going to start pacing myself. Also me: *breaks back writing 1000 words* 🫠

Also thank you to everyone who added me in my absence, I really look forward to reconnecting with people!

I’m back! Honestly my life has been pretty damn good lately since my break. Writing stuff is slow but who cares when you’re this happy? 🤷‍♀️

🔥BOOK REVIEW💧 Chaos Beckons by Sophie Gabrielle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pennotthesword.home.blog/2025/03/29/b...

Taking a step back from social media for my health. I’m too ill at the moment to write or do anything of note, so I’m gonna focus on my health and trying to improve that. Hopefully this burnout heals soon.

Today’s afternoon activities included scouring book 2 with my mother to try and remember what the heck the name of the village elderly healer is. We found it. It was in one line of the entire book. Thanks past me. 🥲 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky

By the time you’re 18 you should have escaped a cult and realised you’re a god.

me: biiiiiig day of writing ahead. the big day of writing in question:

Nadia would take different blood-covered selfies with knives and/or corpses. Venne would be nothing but book quotes in fancy text. Emiil would be tutorial videos on how to create delicious baked goods. Xander would just be thirst traps and OOTDs. Theo would be selfies with his friends only.

Fourth Wing or A Court of Mist and Fury. Both massive comfort reads in hard times.

Spent the day in one of my favourite places on the planet, York! I love this city and its plethora of book shops. Everything is so cosy and old fashioned and so full of personality. I will never stop visiting this gem.

CHAOS BECKONS Nadia, Venne and Emiil may have run away from their cultist village, but the world outside their walls has something far greater in mind for them. Could they really be special or is this just another trick of the gods? 📖 #WSPit #WSPitP #A #F #R #Dis www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D79XJJZ7

Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week. This chronic fatigue thing is really taking a toll on my health. I feel so burnt out and all I manage to do is sleep and read right now. At least I have the #fourthwing series to keep me company. #booksky #Ishouldbewriting #chronicillness

Managed to write 1k despite feeling absolutely terrible physically. I don’t know if pushing myself is a good thing or a bad thing at this point. #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting

When I can’t write, which is a lot due to illness, I turn to creative hobbies that will enrich and improve my writing. Mostly this means reading books I find that inspire me or video games than can help me reset. #askanauthor #booksky

Barely written anything these past two months but recovery and looking after my health is more important than a word count. In the meanwhile, I will create scenes in my head and listen to Taylor Swift. #chronicillness #writingcommunity #writersky #booksky #swiftie

Managed to hit 10k on my wip today! I’ve been so ill and unable to write so it feels like such a win to even be able to do a little. #writingcommunity #amwriting #booksky #writingsky #romantasy

I hate comping my novel because it feels too unique but here we go. The Chaos Chronicles has the magical folklore and religious system of Dragon Age. The magi leadership and epic fantasy setting of Wheel of Time. The dark themes and character focus of Shadow and Bone.

I think the emotions and the characters have a lot of similarities to myself and my own struggles, but since it’s a fantasy world there’s really not much similar there. Writing is my therapy so all kinds of things are bound to slip out. 🤷‍♀️ #askanauthor #writingcommunity

Cinnamon rolls! Made by my cinnamon roll character, Emiil. It’s his favourite thing to bake and he loves to give them to his friends, showing strong bonds between him and others. #writingcommunity #AskanAuthor

“The Language of Flowers” interlude in book 2 is one of my favourite bits of writing I’ve ever done. It’s such a happy, joyous scene, with lots of subtext like flower meanings coming into play. It’s also a breath of fresh air in an otherwise pretty dark book. #amwriting #askanauthor

Since I’ve been pretty ill the last few weeks I haven’t written much at all. My personality has just become sleep and reading #fourthwing. Someone talk to me about Xaden Riorson. #romantasy #fantasyromance #ironflame #onyxstorm #booksky

Sorry I haven’t been around much the past few days. I’m dealing with a lot of new chronic health issues and spend most of my time asleep. Hoping my rheumatologist appointment in a few weeks will shed some light on stuff. #chronicillness #chronicpain

I finally started reading #fourthwing and so far I can say it lives up to the hype. Plus the disability rep is on point and making me feel so seen. #ironflame #onyxstorm

Bit of a spoiler, but I researched other disabilities a lot for things like the politically correct language for amputees and conditions like phantom pain. I wanted to make sure I was representing disabilities right and making them clear and present in the narrative. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity

Very tempted to add to my list of tropes “gets gayer as it goes”. 🌝

All sorts of ways. I have a tendency for workaholism so sometimes writing becomes an obsession. Other times it’s what distracts me from all the dark shit in my life. Sometimes it is magical and beautiful. Being able to share my story finally has given me so much happiness. #pretendpanel #booksky

Dear readers, please give us indie authors a chance. We’re just as passionate and serious about our stories as traditionally published authors, but we’re struggling. Marketing is hard with social media platforms that keep changing. If you love our books, please spread the word! 📚 #booksky #booktok

A seer tethered to a tainted legacy and a lab-engineered weapon with more power than his body can handle. Clandestine meetings aren’t enough to absolve them from witnessing the horrors surrounding them—and certainly not from participating. #YouDeservepIt #W #A #SF #DS

Me. Writing for yourself is the best you can do for your book because it means you’re writing from a place of happiness and passion. Also there’s plenty of readers out there just like you! #pretendpanel #writingcommunity

Writing through traumas. I don’t even have a choice, it’s just comes out on the page whenever I write. It’s escapism too, having a world to dive into, but mainly it’s somewhere to fight back against all the crap inside me. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity #booksky

Oh it’s all me on the page. Where do you think all the trauma came from? 🌝 But seriously, yes, every character is a little side of myself or how I wish I could be. Like I wish I could be as feral and unapologetic as Nadia is. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity #amwriting

It's been great to see all the new faces from #TikTok and hopefully we can continue to help grow the community here! Looking forward to finding new authors, creators and readers, and I hope you can all find a welcoming home here 💙 #BookTok #BookSky

Wanting to add more #chronicallyill people on here. If you’re #disabled or have a #chronicillness let’s connect and share our struggles and triumphs together!❤️ #disabilitysky #spooniesky

The interlude in Book 2 called “the language of flowers”. I used flower meanings to hint at what each character was feeling at the time. I even hinted at certain popular romantic ships 👀 It was such a fun chapter and change of pace, it always brings me joy. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity

Nothing has made me cry which is unusual as I cried the first time I killed off a character when I first stated writing. There’s some real emotional moments in Book 3 of the Chaos Chronicles though that together with the soundtrack make me real emotional. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity

You can get through anything by reminding yourself you can read when it’s over.

Venne makes me laugh most of the time. There’s a current line I my wip where he says “damn right I get to choose the pudding” which just always lightens the mood and makes me smile. He’s my sassy boy. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity
