"Hang tight to truth. Don’t look away. Don’t explain it away. Don’t pretend it isn’t there. Stare it down. Sit in the rage, the worry. Measure it. Mourn it.Then ask yourself the only question that matters—will you leap, or let the pot simmer you to death?" Qoute from WIP #booksky #readersky #truth

Morning Chaos, my old friend.

I think we all need to stop Gaslighting our TBR pile. Mine’s a to-be-ignored pile with twenty-six books 📚 since 2021. #booksky #readersky #authorsky #writersky #books

TikTok, Instagram, X, want you posting 3x a day just to stay visible. I’m sorry, but I don’t have something prolific, personal, or profound to hand over to the algorithm that often. I only speak when I have something to say that’s not me being inconsistent. It's me being authentic. #booksky #reader

30 for 30. Only want the love if it's solid.🦋

7am, house quiet with my wonderful family sleeping 😴 💤. Time to write this murder scene. Perfection. #authorsky #writersky #artistsky #booksky #readersky #authorlife

1036pm Im craving a Georgia thunderstorm⛈️ 😫 😩 but I'd settle for Yorkshire 🌧 rain. Things i didn't think I'd miss... 😕. #movingabroad #ustouk #booksky

Surprise Drop as I have a very busy day tomorrow...check out the latest chapters of Maliced on Substack open.substack.com/pub/ariannai... #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #readersofdarkromance #readersofbluesky #DarkAcademia #darkthriller

Every energy drainer I've ever known has called me their light or lighthouse at some point or another. That phrase gives me the ick so damn bad… I’m not a lighthouse. I refuse to stand still, burning myself out, just so someone else doesn’t crash. Gtfohwtbs.

This woman knows my coffee order, and I dont even know her name...

Your “Just one more chapter” is reading, mine is writing. We both looking feral at 3 a.m. ....Alignment 🫡🤧. #readersofbluesky #lovemyreaders #writersofbluesky #booksky #writersky #bookish #bookishsky #bookdragon

Do you ever feel haunted by the version of yourself you almost became? Maybe its time for a seance #blackqueerbookish #queersky #growth #ink&Rebellion

Books don’t save us from reality they dare us to return to it changed. #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #LGBTQIAAuthors #nuerodivirgentsky

10pm and pym <cyndicate main character> wants to chat because I dont need sleep 😴 she needs answers, lol cool, I guess im writing 😎 till I pass out.

The way it gets dark here .... i adore it... 🥺 💛 🥰

Rue writes stories that cut too close to the bone. Ian and Elias make sure no one sharpens a blade against her unless it’s theirs. But stolen words have a body count, and York’s quiet streets are about to turn into a hunting ground. #Booksky #Readersky #Darkromance #Darkfiction

MALICED episodes are dropping at 2:22... on my substack.... ughhhhh im nervous 😓 😟 😰. #booksky #writersky #readersky

This is completely random, but .... Living Single is funnier and better than Sex in the city reboot that and put it on hbo get these fucking women's right to shoes jokes off my fucking tv. >no I dont watch it, its literally on the ads.< Like oh its funny stfu.

AITAH? I got a DM that a book is too long. I should have told them it was a long book. I said it's listed as an epic. This made them angry. I tried to explain it Genuinely, an epic is a narrative genre characterised by its length, scope, and subject matter. It means long #booksky #audhdauthor

Rock..rock steady I'm the wrong one to try fuck your girl cause I'm petty 🤣 🤪 🙂. #pretty #pagan & #petty

open.spotify.com/playlist/1ug... If anyone wants to join the unhinged goodness... however, this is a judgment and genre free zone of musical taste #writersky #artistsky #booksky #musicsky #playlist

Currently vibing & writing... yes this my playlist... don't judge #musings #music #writersky #artistsky #playlist

Pulling the threads together for Maliced. I think with the edits and rewritten bits, the #darkromance readers are gonna devour it... #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #itsallhappening

Pym is on some wild shit this book 📖 😳 😂 ma'am... okay let me write this down #writersky #artistsky #wip #cyndicate

Please understand… Just because they trauma-dumped on you doesn’t mean you owe them healing. You are not a rehab center for people who refuse to do the work. #parasocial #mentalhealthmatters #unmasking #blackqueerbookish #inkandrebellion

There are way too many Daisies out here. Wilting under men like that’s a virtue... #booksky

I can hyperfocus for ten hours building a new conlang for my fantasy novel, or researching medieval poisons, and the next day forget character names & where I was going with my plot. Hyperfocus Vs. Executive Dysfunction. Fun Times...🫠🙃

Audhd Author confessions: Sensory overload means the wrong lighting or sound derails your entire writing session.

All those one-sided conversations 😪 ooh my goddess🫠y'all I should have billed my hourly rate 😤 🤧 😒 What are you mad about today? #madatmyself #booksky #madatarimonday #madmonday #madmonday

ARC Signups Open!! The Footman is a twisted Cinderella Retelling. What happens when the horse turned footman discovers the Prince, isn’t all that charming? ARC Signups are open on SA Burd’s page or my 🔗🌲. #thefootman #cinderellaretelling #cinderella #guiltynotsorry #arcreaderwanted #booksky

Ten days to go! Im so excited 😊 🤗

You ever flip forward on your book to see how many pages you have left in the chapter. Accidentally read a sentence that spoils the whole damn chapter.... FML #booksky

July 26th can not come fast enough 😫

I can think a book series is magnificent. You can think is fucking garbage. We can both be right. Crazy concept right? Guess who's back 🤪 😏. #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #thinkforyourself

Honestly, looking at my life, all things considered, I stay winning. Despite the odds, discrimination against nuerodivirgency, racism, sexism, the lot. Is it enough... No. Won't stop till I burn every hurdle that slows my race so the next runner runs easier, further, faster. #queersky #blacksky

Block that bitch and go write. 😆

DEBATABLE: SUSHI OR TACOS NOT DEBATABLE: Trying to prevent the tragic collapse of human autonomy & making choices that protect your peace, annoy feeble-minded pricks, and keep your family’s collective sanity intact. #Fuckthesystem Oh, and maybe read my books, K? Xoxo Ari #booksky #queersky #bookish

Just another beautiful Wednesday. The kinda day where silence hums, and you almost forget what lies beneath... Almost. #earlymorning #musings #perfectlynormal #dontlooktooclose #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #queerauthor #queersky

i was meant for candlelit kingdoms and poisoned goblets. for inked hands, daggered eyes, and the kind of love that ruins you soft and slow. #writerlife #queerauthor #darkacademia #booksky #blackbooksky #blackqueerbookish #DarkFantasy #epicfantasy

i’m arianna isabella. dark fiction author. literary witch. queer worldbuilder. i left the algorithm behind & chose the long road of real storytelling.this is for the ones who survive the page, even when the story says they shouldn’t. #booksky #blackbooksky #lgbtqiasky #blackqueerbookish #queersky

It's 10 am, the tea is perfect, and I am watching two foxes cross a field.... a whole moment.
