Posted a #bluepit for Embers of a Lost Flame today, my poor eternal main project deserved a somewhat functional log line, so this was a nice little challenge haha. The actual blurb is still my favorite blurb I've done though, so I'd love to share it too! #BluePit #A #F #LGBT 📖

Embers of a Lost Flame. 📖 “There are no new beginnings, just new directions.” An exiled nobleman returns home from service only to fall into the machinations of his maternal figures, conspiracy, and a labor dispute that threatens to devour the city he grew up in. #BluePit #wip #A #F

Minor miracle of the week, I spelled “deuteragonists” correctly on the first try. #hashtagblessed #writingcommunity #writing

Finished a short fic for quite possibly one of my favorite games of the year, Mouthwashing. Probably going to tighten it up a bit at some point, but over all very happy with my “happier” ending I got to with these characters. Now onto my actual OC! archiveofourown.org/works/612319...

Listening to the audio book version of “This is how you lose the time war”, and man, I forgot how quickly they start flirting with each other. These nigh immortal time lesbians really move fast haha.

When you realize your checkov’s gun isn’t actually a gun but the rumble of the city’s reactor you set up in chapter one: #writing #writingcommunity

Writing a three way Throuple is fun, often adorable, and a lovely challenge when it comes to dynamics and what not. Could never cut them from the plot all things considered. But man, when I have to do math and geometry to make logistic sense it becomes a bit of a head ache. Haha #writingcommunity

Me reading critique a draft ago: “Okay, I need to put in the work to make sure MC is realistically presenting how his traumatic past affects him.” Me today looking at the utter wreck of a human being my MC is: “Oh my god, I’m so sorry.” #writingcommunity #writing

Necessary/Over thinking bits of world building that make me have a chuckle #145: My horned cast member essentially wears pool noodles on her horns to keep from shredding pillows and or her partners’ heads. #writing #worldbuilding #writingcommunity #HornProblems

I love discussing aspects of my work because it's so easy to forget other people aren't insane: "So what got your MC exiled at age 3?" "Well, everyone thinks he "ate" his dad when his powers woke early, but really his dad chose to be "eaten"." "Excuse me, and were those air quotes?"

A look behind the curtain at my writing process. My MC gets verbally torn down and or belittled by ever other person he talks to. Me: “Damn, why do they have to do him like that?” Also me: Is the one ultimately doing him like that. #writingcommunity #writing #protagonistproblems

Symbolism is funny because sometimes you can get really esoteric with it and create a really layered representation. Other times it’s just: “The bands were broken but not undone.” And both are totally valid.

Loving Arcane season 2 so far, but I have realized that one of my protags was accidentally Arcane’s Vi before I ever watched Arcane. -Red hair -Well structured Boxer’s build -A gear and machine aesthetic -Hella Gay They’d be twins if Roxanne could flirt. #writing #writingcommunity #Arcane

I’m a somewhat seasoned writer, I know how to outline, to plan out a plot, and kill my darlings when needed. I’m a big boy writer. …. I’m also avoiding writing the rest of this chapter because I don’t want to hurt my MC’s feelings #writing #writingcommunity

Me: Tell’s myself that I’m an organized writer. Also me: Gazes upon the seemingly endless Scriv docs, chapters split across google docs, and notes docs on my phone. Me: #writers #writing #writingcommunity

Writing someone realizing they’re in an illusion is an interesting exercise working in prose. Thank god I’m writing in first otherwise I’d be agonizing over how to do the little reveal for about an hour haha.

How do people choose what hobby to pursue? What happens if I like writing and drawing and gaming and streaming and I have no time for all of them at once 🫠

STOP CALLING YOUR WRITING AND ART SHITTY. BRO, IT MIGHT NOT BE WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU'LL GET THERE. LEARN. COOK. CREATE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO IMPROVE. BUT YOU'RE NOT HELPING BY PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN BEFORE YOU EVEN GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE

Times are changing and my new novel published next month will be the first of my books to contain this text on the copyright page.

Decided to take a look over my old research notes and found the oddest mix of topics: -Designing underwear in a natural matriarchy. -Sanitary product mass production. -The formation and expansion of salt flats. - Extracting saltpeter from guano. and yes, these are plot relevant. #writing
