Friends, if you have good news about your writing or art, we need to see that. The onslaught of political posting & rallying against fascism is important, but your happiness about your creative wins is part of what people are standing for. Don't let the bastards take that away from you.

we can still make them feel worse

My Monday #snippetshare #writingq The context is they're falling asleep in their motel room This character actually dreams quite a bit throughout this manuscript, or rather navigates a perspective on the world that makes everything just as questionable...

i am both wound and blade, the torturer and the flayed #berserk

surprised this gem has not yet graced my timeline

good morning

In case you need it, the Toad of Defiant Hope gives you +1 to making it through today. Cry your tears. Hug your loved ones. Ready your molotovs.

people should really read all of this

I will never understand people that have their dogs off leash, especially in this cold weather. We had an emergency happen the other day where an older man collapsed down the stairs while taking his dogs out and because they were off leash they just ran... my family found them and took them in.

In my queer extreme horror WIP based in 2004 titled Piquerism, the main love interest is a lesbian in denial, and her best friend is as well. MC has no gender preference, but I'm not sure if pan is the right word for them. #writesky #queerhorror

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I'm so shocked no one ever told me about the anime Yakuza Fiance!! This is so my speed and oh my goddddd he's so my type!!!!! His big smile and the blood splatter has me blushinggggg

I am not feeling shameless, but I'll do it anyways!! I've got a manuscript with betas for some queer extreme horror, but I also have a poetry collection I put together myself up on Itch - as well as other art from my other life! It's all linked in my bio~ #SpoonieAuthChat

Today's #WIPSnips is a favorite paragraph of mine actually <3 <3 <3 #writingcommunity #writesky #extremehorror #horrorsky

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

such a lovely thing to think about

"Don't say too much about your personal views. Writers shouldn't alienate potential readers with their politics." Fuck that noise. Art is political. But also, more importantly? We're way past partisan issues. This is essential good and evil shit. Decent humans are not okay with any of this.

this is how Guillermo Del Toro makes movies

dam gurl, you look like you mute words to protect your mental health

Creators are not weird cockroaches who survive anything (well some of us are) & the vast majority are not elite. Commodifying the total lack of safety nets for creators as "you're a starving artist!" is such a scam. It's turning your life into a product that others profit from and you do not.

Today's #WIPSnips is a nostalgic jaunt into lovely memories. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #HorrorSky

Swelling rage

qtp with a movie you'd rate a perfect 10/10

This #WIPSnips features the MC getting a sneak peak into the inner sanctum, the bathroom of the girl they have a perverse crush on. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books. It’s seriously what gets us through.

Hey. If you’re outside MN and wanting to help, can I suggest throwing some coin to the Local 17 hardship fund?

"A tattoo on a woman is like putting a bumper sticker on a classic car." If you've never seen an illuminated manuscript, just say so. If you've never gently touched vellum in an act of worship, you can just say that! I was down at the scriptorium and nobody knew your sorry ass!

I'd rather slam my head into the wall than ask AI for help on this creative problem, Thanks

My #AwesomeCharacters are interesting here because the main one is not who they seem... They take on a persona at the very beginning of the book so I suppose every word out of their mouth is a lie! Even to themself in private.

“Eat Your Heart Out” is finger-licking good

Realized I never shared any intro stuff here! About me~

Today I am manifesting a kinder and more loving world ❤️💙

Just submitted a couple stories to this because oh my god the prompt perfectly suits them so much it's insane??

We're thrilled to reveal the cover of UNEARTHED, a horror anthology from award-winning authors and editors @dancoxon.bsky.social and @pfracassi.bsky.social which digs beneath the crumbling structures of historical ruins to reveal their archaic pasts, and their darkest secrets. Out September 15! 💀

Autistic horror author when they have to query

I'm back! Not a new WIP, just probably the actual title!! It's with beta readers now, and I'll start querying soon.

So I have been editing still, just took a few *cough* months *cough* off to work on some personal stuff, but predominantly have been doing stuff on my furry art blog. Currently gearing up for #ArtFight and put some of my book characters on the roster this year!

Would any horror author friends be willing to do chapter by chapter feedback as I work on this edit

So are there any agents out there actively seeking out queer "obscenity" with the threat of it being banned looming ever more daunting

Form Facsimile - my debut poetry collection - is available now! vixmartin.itch.io/form-facsimile

I'm in the throes of convincing myself to get started on a big edit. I needed to decide on a particularly large cut, and I have decided that there is an extra character. Despite being a realistic character, he doesn't quite serve the story, and even kind of undermines it at some points.

Hmmm I'm having thought about how to create a Demon romance from the ground up. after stepping away from my outline for a while, I'm pretty confident it doesn't work. Ignoring the edits I want to do elsewhere, I have a new notes document opened haha

Officially a real author now!

Going through the process of preparing to switch our computer over to linux, so got my manuscript translated over to an ODT file, which revealed a few formatting issues. Before this previous break, I also settled on the title "I Love Samantha"!

Every time lol
