A quick and dirty philosophy cheat-sheet for when you're trying to pick a theme for your fictional writing project. #writesky #indieauthors #writingcommunity #philosophymemes #memes

I'm currently writing a Substack review/essay on "The Summer Hikaru Died", and I'm having a hell of a time differentiating between two different versions of the same character, one who died and one who came back as an eldritch horror, for this post. #writesky #substack #anime #thesummerhikarudied

Me: "Why am I so tired?" Also me: *Stays up until 3 AM playing Final Fantasy XIV and getting in some "last-minute writing" before bed. #writesky #indieauthors #writingcommunity

Me: "Wow, I can't believe it's already February..." Also me: "What the fuck! How is it only February!? SO MUCH SHIT HAS HAPPENED! AND IT'S ONLY FEBRUARY!" #writesky #indieauthors

The finalized bookflat for my next book release, "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?", out March 24th. #bookcovers #newbookrelease #indieauthors #booksky #fiction #writesky #bookcoverreveal #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthrillers #artsky

January has been a nightmare, BUT I have been testing out acrylic markers lately and I’ve been really enjoying them! #art #sketch #characterdesign #gundam

As I get my ass kicked by writer's block yet again, never have I ever felt so called out by a meme I found on Discord... TwT #adhd #writesky #adhdhumor #indieauthors

I often like to take a moment to describe what a character's voice sounds like and how it might sound in certain situations. For instance, having a character whose voice would drop to a cold and raspy growl whenever they dipped into tranquil fury. #writesky #booksky #indieauthors

Me: "I have no idea why, I'm just really bad at small talk." Me making small talk: "Call me a corkscrew! Because I am spiraling!" #writesky #humor #mentalhealth #mentalhealthhumor

Wanna read a gritty urban fantasy featuring vampires, dystopian undertones, and magic realism? I got you covered! The first two chapters of my WIP, "City of Blood", are now available to read on Royal Road: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1498... #writesky #booksky #royalroad #urbanfantasy #WIP

With all of the stuff happening in our country right now— well, let's just say my next book release was fueled by my rage and disappointment. #booksky #indieauthors #writesky #resist #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthrillers #novellas #newbookreleases #fiction

And the award for my edgiest book project title goes to... All joking aside, I started drafting out my next book project, and I'll be posting early chapter drafts to Royal Road as I work on them. \o/ #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #royalroad #wip

Some quick and dirty figure drawing practice I worked on Yesterday. #drawingpractice #art #doodles #figuredrawing

Going to be working on uploading the files I need to IngramSpark for my next paperback book release, so naturally, my confidence is a bipolar yoyo going back and forth between self-assured and crippling self-doubt with no in between. #booksky #indieauthors #writesky

Time lapse for the last book project MC art that I made while trying to stay sane during these chaotic and scary times. Song: "Rolling Star" by Yui #speedpaint #booksky #artsky #indieauthors #characterart #ocs

Experimented with some watercolor brushes in ProCreate while drawing a character from one of my book projects. #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #ocs #artsky #digitalart #characterart

As Amazon doubles down on efforts to dub anime with AI, while their print-on-demand service royally screws up a copy of my book that my friend ordered, I would like to once again say: "Fuck Amazon!" #writesky #booksky #indieauthors

Haven't been as productive as I would have liked the past few days. I've been dealing with some prolonged ADHD/Bipolar Depressive Episode burnout, and the mental fatigue paired with brain fog has been kicking my ass. orz #writesky #booksky #indieauthors #writingcommunity

I ended up deleting my TikTok account, unfortunately. Their latest ToS update got WAY too invasive, and even among big tech companies, Oracle is particularly scummy. Hard freaking pass. #writesky #booksky #authorsky #indieauthors

I love how I released my debut novel in October, and I'm set up to release a novella at the end of March despite all the scary things happening right now, yet my anxiety-addled brain still has the audacity to go: "I don't think I'm doing enough..." #writesky #booksky #indieauthors

“Right. Sometimes I forget that your brain’s a few bullets short of a full reload,” Leon thought aloud in frustrated annoyance. “That’s my own fault.” #WIPSnips #booksky #indieauthors #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthrillers #writesky #assassinthrillers #WIP #writingcommunity

I finished writing my next book. TwT Time to start gearing up for a March 24th release. #writesky #booksky #indieauthors #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthrillers #assassinthrillers #fiction #writingcommunity #springbookreleases

Starting my first 2026 sketchbook, decking it out with some new acrylic markers I was gifted! #art #sketch #sketchbook

A little portrait sketch to go with the last intro page

That said, the only activity that currently sounded remotely appealing to the Black Bird of Death was dissociating while staring at a blank wall. #WIPSnips #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers #psychologicalthrillers

A friend of mine cracked open my book he ordered via Amazon KDP's print on demand, and needless to say, I will be looking for another service for my next book release... 🙃 #booksky #indieauthors #amazonkdp #writesky #writingcommunity #writingandbooks #authorproblems

Art time-lapse for my Street Fighter 6 Luke Fan Art. Hope you guys enjoy! #arttimelaspe #speedpaint #digitalart #streetfighter6 #videogames #fightinggamecommunity #fightinggames #videogamefanart #gaming

Composite I made of Street Fighter 6 Luke in his SF5 Fit doing a pose from a KoF mobile game crossover event. #streetfighter6 #fightinggamecommunity #videogamefanart #digitalart #capcom #streetfighterluke #gaming #fanart #videogameart

Stumbled on a new way to help plot out poses while doom-scrolling TikTok, and it's like art-related witchcraft. #art #digitalart #arthumor #artmemes #ocs #ocart #characterart

First art of 2026! \o/ #artsky #digitalart #characterart #ocs #ocart #characterdesign #procreateart #art

So naturally, Leon savored these moments where the tables were turned, and he could give Viper a taste of his own medicine. #WIPSnips #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthors #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers #psychologicalthriller #WIP

Started working on the finalized book flat for my next book release. Things are slowly coming together! \o/ #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #bookcovers #art #digitalart #thrillerbooks #novellas #assassinthrillers #psychologicalthrillers #writingcommunity #fiction

The best I got today is a gory simile involving flicking acrylic paint from a paintbrush. TW for descriptions of gore (obviously) and curse words. #WIPSnips #indieauthors #writesky #booksky #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers #psychologicalthrillers #writingcommunity #fiction #WIP

I'm having one of those days with technology where I can't help but feel like the Amish might have been onto something. I'm not gonna, but I get it... If technology worked properly without some form of enshitification, that would just be neat. 🙃 #writesky

I've taken to uploading early drafts of my work to Royal Road as a "I wrote this myself without AI, and here are my receipts" kind of deal. I'm starting with my next planned book release. Link to read below: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1465... #writesky #booksky #psychologicalthrillers #royalroad

When Leon returned home that evening, he was a broken-down shell of a man. #WIPSnips #booksky #writesky #assassinthrillers #psychologicalthrillers #thrillerbooks #WIP #writingcommunity

On top of writing fiction and doing art on the side, I’ve decoded to get my feet wet with voice acting because I am a workaholic who needs something to do when the art isn’t arting, and the words aren’t wording… TwT #artsky #writesky

I'm wrapping up writing my next book, "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?", and it's definitely a departure from what I usually write. My writing tends to be existential at its heaviest, but this project is one of the most nihilistic stories I've ever written... #pretendpanel #writesky #booksky

My Drawcember 2025 prompt sketches! ❄️ #art #illustration #sketch #procreate

My mental health has been a touch-and-go dumpster fire the past two and a half weeks, but I got out of bed today, so I'll happily take that W. #mentalhealth

Jamie’s honesty reminded Leon of the summer sun. It was warm. Bright. Radiant to a point where it was nearly blinding #WIPSnips #writesky #indieauthors #booksky #thrillerbooks #assassinthriller #writingcommunity #WIP

That feel when some of my favorite pieces of fictional media in 2025 included an indie animation about a digital circus heavily inspired by "I Have No Mouth, and I must Scream" and a dystopian anime where undesirable people are thrown out like literal garbage. >.> #writesky #animation #anime

A heavily underated character arc, IMO: The MC during Act I: "With the power of love and friendship, we can overcome anything!" The MC after copious amounts of trauma in Act II: "The world is full of human garbage, and I'm here to take out the trash..." #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #WIP

I'm working on the final edits and assembling the eBook files for "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?". As long as I keep up my current pace, I should be sitting pretty for a Late February/Early March release! \o/ #booksky #indieauthors #writesky #fiction #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers

"From every possible angle, the Black Bird of Death was cornered with no hope of escape." #WIPSnips #writesky #booksky #indieauthors #writingcommunity #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers #WIP

When writing ”How Do You Free a Caged Bird?”, one of my primary strategies for humanizing my assassin villain MC was giving him a weary fatigue that resembled burn out from a real world toxic workplace. #writesky #booksky #assassinthriller #thrillerbooks #indieauthors

Did some CMND+F edits with "felt" for my current book project, "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?", this evening. I'm slowly but surely reaching the finish line. o7 #booksky #writesky #indieauthors #thrillerbooks #assassinthrillers

My ADHD addled brain will constantly crave stimulation even when I’m mentally fatigued to a point where I can’t think straight. It’s like the mental health equivalent of the “I didn’t hear no bell…” Southpark gif. #mentalhealth #adhdsky

Me poorly describing the MCs of my various book projects: "Well, you got mommy issues, mommy issues, daddy issues, cigarette junkie, more daddy issues, violent-asshole issues, and a weirdly self-actualized 17-year-old necromancer." #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity #indieauthors #authorproblems

It's been a chaotic week and a half, so I unfortunately don't have anything new to show off, art or writing-wise. So here's an Art VS The Artist video! Hope you guys like it! #digitalart #artvstheartist #artsky #artvids #ocart #videogamefanart #art
