First art of April! I expect this to be a busy month so I wanted to get one done nice and early to make sure I kept on track with my "one nice art piece a month" goal. I'm very happy with this one. 💜 Key, Bell, and Tae from Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea. linnfoster.com/bymms/

Looking at Instagram like "is this the year I finally get good at it?"

"Moon's haunted" is good but tbh this is my absolute fave and it makes me laugh every time I see it. Coincidentally also moon-themed.

I constantly forget my new laptop is a touchscreen and then I touch the screen and it does things.

I did a couple Big Adult Tasks today and I'm a little nervous about them, but I know they'll be good so I'm trying to remain optimistic.

"All authors are using AI now." Not true! I travel to the temple of Delphi once a year and immerse myself in the toxic fumes that grant me visions, then I write them down and turn them into books, like the gods intended.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

Happy #TransDayofVisibility. 💜 I'm Linn, a NB trans author and artist. All my work features at least one trans and/or NB character. If you like post-apocalypse fantasy, contemporary fantasy romance, or anime sci-fantasy, might I interest you in my work? platinumsoul.shop platinumsoulpress.itch.io

Visibility feels very not needed. I'd rather make trans books visible, especially if they have a trans main character(s)! So drop us your trans book recs! If you're a trans author & or have a trans MC; give us a description, link & graphic of your own books! 🌈📚💙🏳️‍⚧️ Boosts appreciated!

Another one of those "went to bed early and still woke up tired" days. 😔

After crashing out a few times, I have my base commissions up on VGEN~! 😅💜💚 I have made some small changes, and I have also decided to not publish book cover illustrations on there yet, as I would like to see how things go first. vgen.co/cryling-art

Last night I was so tired that I couldn't think well, but I wanted to be productive, so I mocked up the paperback cover for Pierce the Sky. It looks SO good and I wish I could show it off SO badly, but I swore I would not reveal it until after SciFanJam so... alas... I must wait. ):

Happy Friday! Tonight I have a Pierce the Sky lore drop for you. It's another Celestial Weapon! Meet Devil in the Deep Blue Sea. In today's installment of the weapon drops, we're learning a bit more about the psychic bond between weapon and wielder. www.patreon.com/posts/pts-lo...

Ugh feeling so lethargic today, but gotta try and lock in and get a few things done.

I've only ever seen one band live, and that was Ghost. However, the two concerts I went to rewired my brain. It was truly amazing and made me completely change my opinions on concerts. I'd never gone to them because it didn't seem worth it. I was wrong. It is SO worth it for the right bands.

Today we're doing the final battle of a game we've been playing for nearly 10 years. We've been in combat for about 6 hours so far and just defeated the Avatar of Tiamat, causing them to revert to their original form, a lv. 20 Wizard that we now also need to defeat.

I struggled with this one. I couldn't think of a snippet of anything actually from Bell's childhood, so I settled with the introduction of their childhood best friend (who is still their best friend but now they're not children.) #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

Yes! I learned to read when I was three and I decided I wanted to be a writer when I was nine. I remember it was Christmas Day when I decided to write my very first story. I think I still have a copy of it somewhere in my storage. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

I don't have the space to go into much detail, but Bell's childhood-- to them-- was simple but nice. They grew up in a very rural part of Korea with one nearby village. Bell loved to visit the village, but wasn't allowed to on their own. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

I'm a little late but howdy. My name is Linn and my current project is (still) Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea, a contemporary fantasy romance about a genderfluid gumiho who longs for love, and the human they fall for-- but also want to eat. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

A new PTS lore post will be going up tonight! Potentially another chapter of BYMMS also? We'll seeeee. Monthly State of the Soul will also be going up this weekend. www.patreon.com/c/platinumso... ko-fi.com/platinumsoul...

Invest in your friends’ OCs. It’s like being in a fandom, except you get the benefit of having the inside scoop, too. Yes, show me the “bad” sketch, pitch me the shower thought… I love it.

Did not expect to get hit right in the chest with emotions while casually watching author vlogs during work but here we are.

For today's #WIPSnips I'm going with "king" instead of "royal." I offer you the first page of Iron Spirit. linnfoster.com/iron-spirit/ #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Me in June: I can finish BYMMS by the end of August. Me in August: Okay by the end of September. Me in September: End of... October? Me in October: End of November.... please. succeeds. takes 2 months off. goes back in for edits. Me in February: I can finish BYMMS by the end of March. Me in March:

Was not in a good headspace to edit tonight, so instead I ported all my remaining chapters of BYMMS from Campfire to Scrivener and reformatted them. It needed to be done anyway, and now I have them all on hand. Will a bunch of them be scrapped and rewritten? Probably, but I still have them anyway.

Small reminder that most of my Patreon posts are free and I post free stuff multiple times a month. Lore, art, blogs, chapters, and more every month. Chapters of BYMMS are also available to read on both for $1. $3+ gets you free books. www.patreon.com/c/platinumso... ko-fi.com/platinumsoul...

Ik it’s a lofty number but if like 100 of you bought an ebook from me I could afford to replace my iPad which is about to shit the bed 👎 and happens to be my main source of income (coms) So if you like strange horror & supporting indie check out my books here shop.wolfehorror.com/collection/e...

I don't really want to get into it right now since I'm still processing this information, but if you want to support me or have been considering buying my books, now would honestly be a really good time. caranox.com/books

"Why are you so obsessed with Harry Potter when there's bigger issues?" Because this is literally the lowest bar. Can you clear it? If you cannot be trusted with "don't watch the wizard show" why would anyone trust you with anything bigger?

I think I finally finished the edits on ch. 11 of BYMMS, as well as ch. 12. Time to move on to ch. 13.... tomorrow, though.

Do you like sci-fi & fantasy? Do you like them TOGETHER? Then this is the jam for you! #SciFanJam is all about making original narrative works (prose, comics, visual novels, & TTRPGs) that blend these two genres however you see fit. Come create with us! Found out more here! ⬇️ itch.io/jam/scifanjam
