Kinda early, but I know the rest of Dec can get busy for many, & I just finished setting up! Critterary - a discussion of all real and mythological creatures for Jan! Come yap, post snippets, share some art, etc., will be chill! 😄 #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary

I really want to do my character Edwin’s novel(s) and one particular novel for my character Rory. Both are quite down the line atm… That and writing the final draft of phase one of #HeirsofAlighieri so much emotional pay off that still hits me every time i think about it

Maybe a long shot, but does anyone know of any discord or online groups for ADHD creatives? Writers, artists, people doing creative projects? Would love to connect with more creative folks with ADHD on a regular basis, and trade techniques/motivate one another/etc. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #ADHD

Cam has had to endure a lot this year to get her game off the ground and going! Please thank her for the dedication despite my inability to program things correctly! #gamedev #indiedev

“Remember, every writer, including the most successful, began thinking they were embarking on a hopeless task, that it wouldn’t work, that they couldn’t write, that their style was hopeless, etc. etc. etc. Join the club, sit down and write!” — Bernard Cornwell writingforwellbeing.co.uk #writing

Gonna share my paltry year of finished reads… gonna try and get more read next year. Disclaimer: I only read about half of Narnia. That and Rosario+Vampire I have read before. (And no, R+V anime does not exist, I refuse it’s existence). Also Highly recommend Eltaris btw #Booksky #readsky

My client Toni's children's book is scheduled to publish next month. A fantastic tale of Ami and her friends, Juan, Everett, and Evangeline exploring their neighborhood woods in search of a magical unicorn. Illustrations by my dear friend Aaron Pino. Coming soon to Silk Rhode Books!

Finally got around to actually watching Sonic Boom. (Only knew it through clips prior). I am finding Amy insufferable thus far. I am told she gets better, but ugh. Sticks is adorable tho. Anyone who has beef with Sticks, has beef with me.

An Anthology story cover down just needs the text. #manga #anime #comics #graphicnovel #writer #ink #author #horror #fantasy #sketch #art #artist #artwork #booksky #drawing

there’s many moving parts to it, but I think the main question of “the big wip” is: how do we build & find ourselves again after tragedy pulls the rug out from under us? #writesky

Idk if it counts a “merchandise” but definitely a video game series. Having a ttrpg would be a dream as well

She might need that!!! #manga #anime #comics #graphicnovel #writer #author #ink #digitalart #drawing #sketch #horror #fantasy #nightmare

I've spent a long time wondering if I'd ever speak on my channel, and I'm sure many of you have as well. It looks like it's finally time though. youtu.be/LYM1dmXp9Zs

Just launched the fouth character art peice for my fantasy novel, Eltaris! Say hello to Luella, our female knight of the round table. This may be my favorite mug to date! madebymargh.com/products/lue... #booksky #writesky #artsky #artistsofbluesky 📚⚔️ 📚🪐

You’re allowed to write slowly. You’re allowed to rewrite. You’re allowed to change everything. The only rule: don’t abandon it.

Despite most of my music falling into the background while I work, there is always a few songs that still take my attention and I need to play the whole damned sequence I made in my head featuring my characters. #writing #music #vibes

Love how Lisbeth looks. I still can hardly believe I am so far into this process to be getting a cover for my novel. Thank you Steven for the great work that you do. I can’t wait to see the rest of the cover. #HeirsofAlighieri

While I wait for my new c0mm, I figured I should repost the ar7 I've reques7ed so far (I'm hoping this will be enough to keep the bots away 😑) I highly recommend these talented artists if you ever need a c0mm! 😌 @mmegistus.bsky.social @radioinpepper.bsky.social @aorticinkwell.bsky.social

Starting doing a cover for a friend's book. Hopefully it will be coming out soon. It's a fictional book, written not a manga. #manga #anime #comics #writer #author #graphicnovel #ink #digitalart #coverart #booksky #fantasy

I just discovered “ship worms”. I am as fascinated as I am grossed out. Nature never ceases to amaze me. I could live a thousand years and still not see it all…

Oh dear, one of my seed catalogs came in. #gardening #seeds

New abstract character art from Margh for my fantasy novel, Eltaris! This time, it's a dragon 😎🐉✨️ madebymargh.com/collections/... Sound on if you want to hear me read the meeting of Amaya and Jörmungandr! 🔊 #booksky #artsky 📚⏰️

How do you deal with self doubt when writing? I try to tell myself that a piece of writing doesn’t have to be perfect to be good #writingq #WritingCommunity

We gotta keep it up!! 😀 animecorner.me/amazon-remov...

You can play kick the can in my game. #gamedev #indiedev #kidsprobablydontplaykickthecananymorewithipadsandallthat

Is there a part of your writing process that would surprise readers, if they knew about it? Does talking to yourself to work out scenes count? 😂 #writingq #WritingCommunity

I am slowly but steadily balancing my “gardener” writing style with a splash of “architect”. It is rather exciting actually. #writing #writesky #booksky #HeirsofAlighieri

I just cut myself with my pastry cutter. I AM NOT A PASTRY.

And it's done and sent. This poster was a lot of fun and work but I really hope it does @silkrhodebooks.bsky.social #fantasy book justice. Check out his page and book. #manga #anime #comics #writer #author #dnd #journey #drawing #sketch #illustrator #illustration #digitalart #ink #graphicnovel

Been trying to gear up to begin editing a novella I finished a couple months ago. Now Thanksgiving is nigh. I have too much baking to do in preparation lol So poor Wynn will have to wait for her tale’s edits another week

I am back from the depths of social media slumber! Gonna try and get back in the groove of posting and interacting.

My current horror shortstory/novella is more supernatural in nature so tech is not a central theme or reliable for the characters. #HorrorWritersChat

I write by the name of L. Bay Riley, I write in a wide range of genre and am working on a horror shortstory/novella atm. (main project in the publishing pipeline). Libre Office all the way until it goes to my editor, then it is Google Docs #HorrorWritersChat (First time doing this prompt-

Beatrice hates cleaning (general house cleaning. Kitchen cleaning is different). She also hates those that kill indiscriminately and those that are uncaring for others. Roy hates out-of-touch aristocrats who desire more power and control (i.e. his clan).

"Unfortunately" Grove largely resembles NYC architecture wise. Nothing of note in that generalized area. But I will say that all buildings are enchanted, in addition to engineering, for added support and resilience. But that is not exactly a style of architecture. #HeirsofAlighieri #Septopolis

My new dystopian novel is really starting to take shape! I'm still in the discovery phase, so I'm doing lots of research at the moment 🤓 #amwriting #wip #writingcommunity #canadianauthor #dystopian 📚💙 📚🪐 📚⏰️

Shes going to feature in chapter 3. We saw her first in the prologue but now one of the legs is about to get some more pages time!!! #manga #anime #comics #graphicnovel #writer #fantasy #author #digitalart #skybooks #ink

Looking amazing 😁

Since Old Fangs is involved, when technology advanced to usher in modern cities, Grove was meticulously planned. It has a strict grid structure, with various entry and exit points for Fangs upper fortress and garages. #HeirsofAlighieri #Septopolis

Beatrice doesn’t really have many hobbies at the beginning of the story. Roy, secondary MC, is a gamer. He tries to get Beatrice into it but she is content with watching.

There is a small population of those who follow the Maker's religion. But most would be considered agnostic/atheist. People generally just want a life of peace and coexistence. Grove in particular is one of the more diverse cities, in both culture and daimon species. #HeirsofAlighieri #Septopolis

My second YouTube video has been uploaded and scheduled for tomorrow. If you haven't seen the last one yet, that's all about morning pages, you can check it out here youtu.be/d1iEPAPe5Zo #WritingCommunity

Grove's food culture is pretty cosmopolitan. A "melting pot" of cuisine. That being said, Grove is famous for its pizza. It is considered the city's official dish. Why? The widely popular video game character Tony Redgrave* loves pizza! (The series began in Grove and that is a source of pride).

#HeirsofAlighieri is a modern setting with magical elements. So their is a lot of technology that we have around us today. Magic, domestically speaking, is primarily enchantments for stability or things like fire proofing. There are advanced "magic technology" that is reserved for Hunters. 1/ 5
