Wanna see me in a hot fox mask?

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

FFS I'm not a wealthy person, but you know, make a few friends who speak other languages who are also writers and you can exchange editing for translation. I've done it. It's a much better plan than AI nonsense. Don't believe me? Try Google Translate sometime

@sablearadia.bsky.social @gameoftomes.bsky.social

What is today's plan? 1) Plot out an idea that came to me last night. 2) Write and hang out with @sablearadia.bsky.social if she streams today. 3) Stream myself. Doing some Long Dark Wintermute ( @thelongdark.bsky.social for those of you who want to check it out) on my own stream today around

House Lapin always stands ready to defend the Realm against the Undead Horde. If you're a writer and you want to play the most fun game for writing ever (totally unbiased here LOL) join us on twitch.tv/game_of_tomes this month!

Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

Good morning. You're a writer even if you don't write today, tomorrow, this entire month. You're a writer because of the stories in your heart, even if you can't get them down for now. 💜

Challenge week is over! Thank god we didn’t ignore anything else during that time, right? Right? The self care mafia is here to help and to remind you that it’s alright to take breaks, but is also alright to get your life together. We even have a bingo 😊

FIRST RESULT STREAM! Who will fall? Who has earned their bonus litmon? And why are we all so pretty? m.twitch.tv/game_of_tome... With @amywintersvoss.com and @foxwriter.bsky.social as nite monarchs ✨🦊

Somehow we are on a lvl 5 hype train! Now THATS what I call a party!

Challenge Week was a blast! I had so much fun! And people were just pouring out the word counts. I have really high hopes we made the goal! We find out next week 🤞

The last candidate running for Nite Monarq this season: Lady Wynterworn, the mourning star, bringer of light. Will she be able to lead the undead to a new beginning, or will the end claim what it’s due no matter what?

110%. We want to support original, authentic art - I'd be happy to tell some stories for you in exchange. Hell, we've even got voice actors who could do promos for RPGs, semi-pro sound engineers, editors... we got options, just sayin'. Mutual exchange for mutual aid❤️

@sablearadia.bsky.social and her armies

The Undead Horde is what makes Game of Tomes the fun game that it is, and we elect our "Night Monarch" every year. This is a duo of candidates currently in the running, and they have a story to tell. @foxwriter.bsky.social and @amywintersvoss.com would be a great team!

IT IS GLORY TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES BUT TO ALSO BATHE IN THE SHOWER.

👋

Just sayin'. We've been doing it for 5 years now. And tell you what - we can prove that if you stick with us, your output will improve significantly. People who struggled to get 40k when they started are doing 100k in a month now. It works! And best of all, it's even fun🥰

Time for my annual lament that Art Fight and World Anvil's Summer Camp is in the same month. Also, Game of Tomes is happening if you want a gamified writing challenge. Trying to be a writer and an artist while holding a full time job is hard. 😩 #ArtFight #WorldAnvil #Writer #Artist #QueerSFF

Accurate 😁

Oh hey, I almsot forgot to mention our interview with TJ Klune is out here: itgodp.libsyn.com/tj-klune. And yes, that is a new logo you see. We also have a recent interview with @brightflame.bsky.social

All right, here we go. It's time I laid out my theory about what the fucking hell Trump is doing, and this is currently my best chance of reaching the most people who could do something about it, putting a bug in their ear🧵

Hey, science fiction and SFWA writers... I know someone has gotta be on a government think tank that proposes strategies for off-the-wall scenarios, right? If you're one of those folks, or you know one, I need to talk to you. I've seen a pattern I need to tell you about if you haven't seen it

#RedBardGames The Undead Hordes Kickstarter is shambling onto tabletops! The standard bearer's literally kicked a leg off for the cause and still kept marching. Old school zombies, skeletal cavalry, and a necromancer who couldn't be bothered to walk. tinyurl.com/5n8jus2a #oldhammer

At last, someone is honestly reporting why it is that we are doing this. It's kinda disgusting how all sports media has been ignoring the significance of the politics here. A couple of years ago, the mic cut out at a hockey game & we finished it for you. Take the hint - this is not a little thing

ICYMI the monthly TRANS NERD MEET UP is this Saturday in SF. It's for anyone (21+) who self-identifies as trans/nb/gnc/etc and loves to geek out about anything. We don't gatekeep! Bring games! Pls tell your friends... www.eventbrite.com/e/trans-nerd...

Good idea

I don't know what Ford has & hasn't done (I'm in BC) but what I do know is that this is exactly what the "annexation" threats are about. Elon wants our minerals. They gave the game away when they made the same demand of Ukraine. If something doesn't make sense, it's about money

PUT AWAY YOUR SLING, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE SELF DOUBT. AND YOU WILL WIN.

The crocus are so good right now. I can’t help but stop and coo over all of them.

I mean, my books are all about confronting the general state of the world, wrapped up in fun pulp fiction with cool battle scenes and shit. They're those lauded "non-obvious" morality tales everyone says they want😇

This is fascinating.

So now they're coming for the neurodiverse, the chronically ill, and the asthmatic, eh? The fascist playbook (tm) continues to unfold. It seriously stuns me how blatant it is. If I wrote a book about villains this obvious in anything but a parody, my editor would send it back with mockery

*snort*

If a reader dislikes your politics, then no amount of subtlety will prevent them from accusing your story of not being subtle enough. Not even if the politics of the story are about your right to live. Don’t go quieter to appease the callow.

FROM THE CITY OF BLUE SKY... Happy Valentine's 🥰🥰🥰

This photo was a cool, and timely accident. I snapped the picture after some journaling regarding life. The coldness of the photo, the lone wintered plant, the snow, the blurry background, It all seemed to fit. Check the AltText for more. #Photography #plants #Winter #Life/Death&Love #EastCoastKin❤️🕊️

Hey #journal community, take note of this shithead and their misogynist shithead followers... recommend some pre-emptive blocks, because I generally find we're a supportive bunch but these guys ain't the business. I tried some gentle correction to the ableism, figuring it wasn't intended... well...

A good reason to get involved in your community, whatever that looks like to you, even if most communities are just too peopley

I like the idea of this spread very much

journaling time ! 💌📝🍀
