Hi #QueerWritersChat! Self-promo never feels natural. Especially in times like this. But queer voices are needed more now than ever. My debut poetry collection, Time Travel Is Easy, is all about Deep Time, queer embodiment, childhood trauma, and proletarian anger: www.amazon.com/dp/B0G344X8L7

Missed day 1 of #BluePitHype, but I made it for day two! Here are the two leads of my new M/M fantasy WIP, Helio and Soma:

#QueerWritersChat Sterling was hired to kill a witch Elias needs the hunter's help to save his forest Avery struggles to conceal his love for another man & an awakening strange magic The Witch of Eden Hollow updates on Saturdays! Feat. a shiny new mood board! #⚔️🌿🌼 archiveofourown.org/works/75724341

#QueerWritersChat In The Witch of Eden Hollow, they find inspiration in all manner of things! Sterling: His family. Elias: Traversing the forest he's a guardian of. Avery: Standing outside in nature, looking around at the sky, and feeling the wind on his face. Tristan: Avery. 🥺

#QueerWritersChat Sometimes. Especially when I get burnt out at my retail hell day job, I'll have no inspiration. Breaks help. Sometimes, I'll work on something else for warmups. And one thing that always works to inspire me again is music. I have my go-to artists and genres, and they never fail me.

#QueerWritersChat I get a lot of my inspiration from music (atmosphere) or movies (tropes/vibes). For example, I thought about The Witch of Eden Hollow after listening to In The Woods Somewhere by Hozier and followed it up with a rewatch of Strange Magic and The Witch. Quite the combo, I know. 😅 1/2

#QueerWritersChat Hello!🏳️‍⚧️ I'm Gabe! What I'm working on is a little fantasy romance, The Witch of Eden Hollow! It's about a pair of older transmasc MCs (a witch & a hunter) & a closeted gay man w strange magical powers, all living in (or effected by) a puritan cult disguised as a small town.

Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Our theme this week is: Inspiration Questions will also be reposted to @queerwriters.bsky.social. Remember to use the hashtag so we can see your answers! Engage with others! Save promo for the outro, please! Introductions at :05! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters

#QueerPrompts It's more a headcanon than explicitly on page, but Declan in my queer dark fantasy likes to celebrate the day he came out as trans. His family would get his favorite baked goods. And while in the military, Mícheil would try to sneak the best snacks into their tent and they'd hang out.

#QueerPrompts I have a couple lil snippets from the relationships in my queer dark fantasy series, The Art of Malignance! 1. How young Prince Lucian first meets Tobias 2. How Lucian years later first meets his other partner, Auðunar. 3. How Declan first met Mícheil 4. How Tobias first met Auðunar

#BluePitHype Day 2: Art Share Here's some character art I made for my YA fantasy romcom Gravity's Fire. Mostly Nix and Max, but some others too. The book's color theme is green and gold, so I tend to capitalize on that.

#AwesomeCharacters #⚔️🌿🌼 Tristan has a couple goals. The main one is that he wants to find a place where he's safe to be himself. And he wants to take Avery with him 🥺 He also has a career goal. He doesn't wanna just be a carpenter. He wants to be a whittler and sell his wood carvings. 🧵(1/4)

Haha... 😅

#BluePitHype Day 1: Introductions 🙋🏼‍♂️ Hi, I'm CJ, queer romantasy author and artist! I love writing romantasies, character art, dollhouse miniatures, crafts, cats, positive queer fiction, BL shows, and my partner of course! 👨‍❤️‍👨

#BluePitHype Day 2 *jazz hands* I also know how to draw, and making art of my characters is part of my writing process! Here's my MCs, Narok and Kasandra, from my current WIP.

You should all know that I'm still starry eyed about my commission. I haven't been able to stop looking at it. I'm so emotional lmao

An ATM for transmascs to use, but it stands for Automatic Testosterone Machine.

“who do you picture yourself as in the ship?” oh neither of them, i’m in the cuck chair

#BluePitHype Here are the Hero and his Nemesis (to scale)! Fashion as character expression, plus sensory immersion in the world, are really things I love. And I play a lot with archetypes and smack-you-in-the-face symbolism. Plus, a story about masculinity when men dress like THIS is intentional.

#BluePitHype Gosh, I'll be sharing a handful of projects for #BluePit, which means I'll be sharing several projects' worth of art below! First is the romantasy novella, #Touched (available now!). Here are the mood board, two #PosterPit posters, and a picrew of Erryn and Rolfe.

#BluePitHype Day 2 I really need to make some new art 😂 Here are some characters from my upcoming book, THE GODS OF ATALANTIS (part 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy). My bbs Mireia & Kena 💙🧡 My grouchy Shadow Mommy Icozoue 🖤 And our misguided antagonist, Jasana 💀 #writingcommunity #writesky

#WritingPrompt In which Avery and Tristan in WitchXHunter WIP are about to have their wedding by a lake 🥺

🔞 Look at this AMAZING commission I got from @lucezozzerie.bsky.social of my boys Avery and Tristan! 💕 Thank you so much for capturing them so beautifully! #⚔️🌿🌼

#BluePitHype I had a lot of fun making a little mood board for The Witch of Eden Hollow, the WIP I'll be pitching in a few days! #⚔️🌿🌼 #WritingCommunity

I don't have much artwork of him (yet), but I do have this SUBLIME portrait done by the amazing theTundraGhost! 🥰 So meet Edwin Batcher, the MC of my current manuscript, DeerWizardWIP, that I'll be sharing for #BluePitHype! 🦌🧙✨

#BluePitHype #BluePit I have so much character art of Chloé and Freja from The Ice Between Us that it’s absurd. But I’m obsessed with the way different artists have brought my two skating babies to life. A couple of these are hanging as posters in my living room. #WriteSky #AmQuerying

I'm not a mood board person but I did paint a scene from The Widening Gyre with the intention of painting a few more...until LIFE gave me a slight turn. 24x36, acrylic on canvas. "As she reached the edge of the Hollows, she stopped, her gaze falling on the desolate Wastelands." #BluePitHype

Day 2 of #BluePitHype! 😀🖊️ My novels (suspense/speculative) are set along the isolated islands and coastal inlets of Maine. Here are some pics to set the mood... 🌲🌊 #writesky #writingcommunity #BluePit #amquerying #amwriting

#BluePitHype The cover for "Good Boys Don't Howl," my published sex comedy novella, by @zombieisok.gay. Cover of "Life Before Blood," my published Dracula X Renfield novella, by me. Concept cover of "Hell Is Work," by me, and character art by @sunriseart.bsky.social. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Each chapter of my novel works through the major arcana of the #tarot. I started off with colorful pastel collages, but realized I'd need to do black & white for the chapter art. The cards embed elements from my story. #BluePitHype #BluePit #Tarotsky #witchsky #artsky #writingcommunity #MajorArcana

I'm an absolute fiend for getting character art. This is the main character of my story - Callum Point - and I'm obsessed with seeing his sad face. (Artists: @saintsbeware.bsky.social, @heavenlyystar.bsky.social, @tovomiel.bsky.social, @yourdeadprince.bsky.social) #BluePitHype #BluePit #WriteSky

#WIPSnips | table On the one hand, Fest's being more than a wee bit paranoid. On the other, given who he's sharing a breakfast table with, that paranoia may well be entirely justified. ( saranadosfiction.com/2024/03/17/s... )

#WIPSnips | Table Avery’s dad gave him the huge responsibility of handing Reverend Pryce their rent for the month. Unfortunately, after spending the morning with his (secret) boyfriend, he may have made a huge mistake. #⚔️🌿🌼

#nsfwocdaily Prince Lucian from my queer dark fantasy, The Art of Malignance, is polyamorous! He’s happy in his relationships with his two very supportive boyfriends.

#AwesomeCharacters #⚔️🌿🌼 Casting magic is seen as quite strange in this world's society, because few people can do it. It's even rarer in Eden Hollow, where it's forbidden. That said, the weirdest thing Avery has encountered is his sudden awareness that new plants are growing wherever he touches. 🤔

#WeeknightWriters The Witch of Eden Hollow, a T4T enemies to lovers story about a witch that guards an ancient forest and the hunter that was hired to kill him, is currently available to begin reading via the link below! Updates are on Saturdays. archiveofourown.org/works/75724341

#WeeknightWriters First of all, I need to get out of this reading slump. Work gave me burnout. Next, I bought quite a not small amount of books last year. I need to read them LMAO My main genres are the ones that I write in, but I also have a few classics 👀

Hey #BluePitHype 👋. I'm currently working with an editor on my queer Frankenstein re-telling "Ought to Be Thy Adam". I seriously can't wait to sharpen it to an edge then start the query process 🔪🖤. Otherwise, I usually hang out at the intersection of spooky, speculative, and sexy.

#WeeknightWriters I want to try officially publishing my stories and selling them. I've gradually been building up the confidence to do so.

#WeeknightWriters I completed two (pretty beefy) rough drafts! And I've kept up a pretty strong creative muse!

#WeeknightWriters Honestly, my biggest struggle was isolation. I haven't been able to socialize outside of work much with my lack of car. However, it did give me more time to write. I hope to go places more again and meet new people. I miss being out in the world.

#WeeknightWriters Hi! I'm Gabe, and I've been working on a little story that controlled my life called The Witch of Eden Hollow. Sadly, I injured my wrist last week, so writing anything new is a bit difficult. But I'm managing! Slowly.

Hello #BluePitHype!! I'm Isaac, still working hard at bringing my swashbuckling farce, THE DUEL IN 1660, from 1st to 2nd draft! I'm interested in/writing about metafiction and genre, masculinity and gender, moral development, our relationship to the historical, and guy falls over haha.
