I'm a trans person, and if that makes you feel icky I really don't care. Our rights are not worth less than your discomfort. The world does not belong to you & the idea that you can dictate our ability to exist and move freely reveals an entitled cowardice that you should be ashamed of

In 2004 a friend told me about Final Fantasy XI and I convinced my mom to get the PS2 copy for me so I could try it. If it weren't for that game I'd be dead. FFXI gave me a reason to live when nothing else did. FFXI helped me realize I was trans. FFXI gave me my first big audience for my writing.

#SFFChat Thanks for hosting! I'm going to share the Kickstarter page for @wtpress.bsky.social upcoming anthology, They Are Still Here/Maen Nhw Yma o Hyd -- stories of resistance, Welsh mythology & community: www.kickstarter.com/projects/191... Funded, but AFAIK you can still back it to preorder!

WINGS IN THE VALLEY hinges on community with non-human MCs. (www.amazon.com/Wings-Valley...) @camalin.net (writing regency fantasy #Ellamir) talks about WINGS in this awesome article he wrote after reading it.😭❤️ (I was shooketh). Look at his beautiful website! #SFFChat

#SFFChat the questions felt more in depth today. I had to think a lot. Thanks for prompting them. I’d like to share a bundle I’m part of. It’s not doing very well at the moment but if you want to get a cheap Halloween read in advance there’s lots of vampire books for cheap bsky.app/profile/este...

#SFFChat Outro Thanks for the chat! I love stories about community, so this was a great one! I have two books and a short story! Sweet & Wild: books2read.com/u/bzNng9 The Need for Dandelions: books2read.com/u/meYkPE Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur...

I'm DYING to share the whole paragraph this line comes from but alas, it's kind of a spoiler. So all you get is this: He tasted like apple soju and summer breeze. #FaveLineFriday

Hi #SFFChat! My name is Linn and I don't remember what the homework assignment was oh no. So you get what I'm reading instead. I've been on a reorganization and housekeeping kick so I'm currently in the middle of rereading How to Keep House While Drowning and reading Tidying the Abyss.

Final word count for today is 2,313. I went back and edited chapters 8, 13, 17, and 18 again and started rewriting 19. If I can finish through 21 by the end of Sunday I'll be halfway through the book.

May has been a hectic month for me so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get a piece of art done for the month on my own, so I enlisted the help of my lovely wonderful friend @beeohoney.bsky.social. She sketched this cute selfie for me, and I lined and colored it. This is the first collab for BYMMS!

In Iron Spirit, Kelly is just a little farsighted. She doesn't need reading glasses yet, but she likely will later in life.

I also have this condition and this sounds really fun soooo. 1 like = 1 thing I'm Super Normal About, Actually

Only 634 words today, but it was all edits to a chapter that totaled out at 3,639 words. That's another chapter checked off, 24 left.

It refuels the tanks we creative folks use to power our work 💖 (Also leaving nice reviews and telling your friends!)

quoting from my twitter: "what has he done to my art" #FFXIV

My spouse and I often use the word "wimdy" instead of "windy." They also will say "grisps" instead of "grips" and sometimes I steal that one for myself. "Congraplications" is also not uncommon in our house.

Explaining every single little action in detail when it is just not needed sometimes. So far I just edit them out when they feel excessive. Haven't quite figured out how to pick and choose which ones should be there the first time around.

Might have overexherted myself last night because I ended up sleeping through my 6:00am alarm and waking up at 7:10, so no morning writing for me. Still eager to get some words done today, though. I'll just have to wait for my 15 minute breaks and my half hour lunch.

Finally calling it a night. Wrote 4,512 words total through the day and got a bunch of stuff in the second half figured out. 🎉

I am a MACHINE today. I've written so many words.

Physically I'm sitting at my computer doing my job, mentally I'm rapidly pacing around the office as I try to work through some big plot changes to the second half of BYMMS.

Only 200ish words on my first 15 minute break, but they're juicy words. I'm having so much fun with this chapter.

BYMMS: People living lives and doing relationships that don't look like your own deserve all the love and happiness they receive from those lives and relationships. The experience of life is so diverse and we should celebrate its diversity. Iron Spirit: Never give up. There is always a way through.

Funnily enough Bell, Tae, and Key all like to unwind the same way: put a jazz record on the turntable and vibe on the couch. Sometimes one of them will lay on the floor instead. #SpoonieAuthChat

My current WIP is still BYMMS. I'm in the middle of rewriting a section and it's so juicy and interesting. I was writing some of it this morning and had to stop right at the best part of the chapter! 😭 Now I have to wait another hour and a half to write more of it. Key is about to have a Crisis. 🫶

I finally managed to wake up at 6:00am to write before work. Last week I woke up at 6:00am every weekday, but didn't actually get out of bed. This time I made it to my PC and opened my book docs to actually write. 🎉 Got 947 words down before having to get ready for work.

Only wrote 1,262 words today but all progress is good progress, considering how stressed I was this morning and exhausted the rest of the day.

I would like things in my life to be quiet and chill for a couple months now please.

Passed out as soon as I got home from car shopping but new car has been purchased and I, begrudgingly, have a car payment again. They have to replace a part on it, tho, so they've put us in a loaner car for the week while they handle that. On the plus side, new car will be great for moving in July.

Goals for the week: - Continue BYMMS edits. - Buy a new car. 🫠 - Read. - Write up Patreon post. Keeping it simple because I need it this week. #QueerWriters

Key and Bell absolutely know each other best. They've been friends for 100 years and have been close for the vast majority of that time. They've traveled together, lived together, and done so much else together. They confide in each other in ways that they couldn't with their families. Best friends.

When it rains, it pours. With the new apartment secured, things were looking up. I was feeling good. Naturally we can't have that, so my car died. Like "we need to go buy a car tomorrow" kind of died. So... that's cool... Did I mention I had to spend all my remaining savings on medical bills?

Post the last line of dialogue before they smooch. If Val gets to cheat I get to cheat too.

I am sooo curious what people would guess for mine as well.

Found my old Pilot Kakuno fountain pens and gave them a thorough cleaning... and lost the nib to one of them in the process. 😭 At least it was the nib I didn't like as much.
