I had my graduation today 🙂 BA cum laude iktr

Some notes on staying hydrated in warm weather: Drink cold drinks. If your cold drink of choice is iced tea or coffee that's ok. The diuretic effect of caffeine is vastly cancelled out by the volume of liquid you are consuming. Unless you're only drinking very caffeinated beverages you'll be fine

i wanna play esoteric video games and watch old anime and read manga i dont wanna work towards a better life going to school and work my stupid job to pay rent

Top 5 indie books I read this year so far in no particular order. I'm still actively looking for more indie recs btw 👀 bonus points if the book is queer, but obviously it doesn't have to be. #booksky #authorsky #indieauthor #indiebooks

I'm shadowbanned on tiktok and twt for protesting against genocide, insta doesn't even show my posts to my followers, my threads don't even get 50 views, and I always end up just screaming into the void here on bsky no matter what I post. I feel cursed man sorry I just need to vent

Wouldn't it be great if authors didn't have to be content creators? Wouldn't it be great if we could just write without having to spend hours in canva and capcut to create posts that will just be ignored anyway? Sorry for being negative, I'm big sad 🫪 #authorsky #booksky

AI produced thumbnails on gaming videos on YouTube are a huge turnoff for me. Just take a freakin' screenshot of the game and put your overlay info on that, it's not hard.

What's gayer? Me or the book I wrote about queers unravelling the tangled threads of a prophecy? Ne'er-do-wells is available wherever you get your books 📚 ⚔️👑 www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS7HX1FX #booksky #bookcommunity #indieauthor #fantasy #yabook #mmromance #bookrec

me, listening to my playlist of specifically and meticulously curated favourite video game soundtracks: wow, I love this one!

We could really use Carl Sagan right about now… #books #reading #history #libraries

#LGBTQWriteAThon Chapter titles are a yay for me, I'm just not smart enough to come up with any so I don't do it. But I do appreciate it in books, especially when they're witty or are cleverly abstract in the way that you'll only realise by the end of the chapter why it has that title

If you're new to publishing, struggling to find reviewers or just have questions on navigating the community, I've made a handy little blog post for ya! Updated as often as I can :) rebeccacrunden.com/resources-fo... [ #booksky ]

#LGBTQWriteAThon My goal for the week is to get past the scene I'm stuck on by reworking earlier scenes and rewriting, and then finally I can try to beat my writer's block with a stick.

I *might* be finally getting a physical copy of my book at the end of the month 🥹

Whoever normalised endnotes in history books needs to be publicly pilloried. How is having to constantly turn to the back of a book easier than looking to the bottom of the page?!?

Yooo I really sat down 6 yrs ago and wrote a lil story about a Black boy with magic and now my books are in bookstores worldwide. It’s not everyday you get to live out your childhood dream. #booksky

MY FIRST NOVELLA IS HERE. CONAN INSPIRED SWORD AND SORCERY WITH AN OLD MAN MC COME SAY HI TO FREYJRULF EVERYONE I'll make a proper promo post later I promise vincentlore.itch.io/freyjrulf-1

#LGBTQWriteAThon This week was alright. I opened one of wips on Friday and saw I had 66666 words so far, and thought that was funny. I've got around 17k words in for the week so far 😵‍💫

Wake me up when we have our first deceased trillionaire. That’s where the real flavor is.

showing my indie game to non-gamer friends and family:

#LGBTQWriteAThon Renee is cishet, but every other main character in Bloody Terrible isn't!

#LGBTQWriteAThon The world of Ne'er-do-wells is queernormative, so here're the pride flags for the main cast!! Joohyun (she/her) - lesbian flag Tor (he/him) - gay flag Zhao (he/him) - non-binary flag Alvi (he/him) - gay flag Sheppard (she/her) - trans + bisexual flag

#LGBTQWriteAThon Here are the prominent Juniper Wharf characters and their flags (in picrew because it's easier this way and I already had them)! Ruby - bisexual Amara - bisexual Charleen - lesbian Garrot - aroace (1/2)

I'm not quite ready for a Pride graphic for DeerWizardWIP, but here's something for my epic, KINSHIP OF AEITHALIS. 😊 #LGBTQWriteAThon

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 12: I've chosen a symbol and a flag. My lead Delsin (plus two others) is gay, so I chose the Chrysanthemum flower. His partner Mona is ace. #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

Anyone up wanting to read a bipoc queer fantasy book by an indie author about a group of misfits uncovering the truth behind a cryptic prophecy while engaging in endless shenanigans? No AI, all artwork and writing was done by me #bookcommunity #lgbtqbooks #bookrec #indieauthor #booksky

For those of you looking for a quick reference for all the books in the Shackleford world, here it is... #readerscommunity #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky

to me the thing about genAI used in games is like... you won't attract a new player base by saying "heyyy we used this technology everyone hates", you can only lose your existing audience when they find out. there is just no win here imo?

My writing prowess always peaks fifteen minutes before I need to go to bed.

Nearly done with the 3rd draft of what I hope to be my next book 👁👁 I've been working on this series since I was 14 (25 now), so writing these characters comes to me like second nature. And after working on different books for so long, it also feels like coming home 🫂 #authorsky #booksky #amwriting

I used to tell my sibling every time I experienced something paranormal (which is a lot), and today they suddenly said 'hey, if something happens and our cats don't react, let me know.' I was like ??? and, in a deadpan voice, they said 'I saw on reddit it's an early sign of schizophrenia' Excuse me😭

I really don’t care what the Bible says about literally anything 🤷‍♂️

The paperback pre-order is now available on Amazon (and other retailers). It comes out next Saturday! I really appreciate all the support! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0H3... #booksky #newrelease #writingcommunity #fiction #booktok

I have a huge backlog of games to get through spanning ten years and more , I have no problem not buying games from studios doing this and watching them rethink when their profits drop.

inject final fantasy 7 revelation into my veins right now holy fuck

Cid riding vincent? That's not new. I've seen art of this before

There’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t like a popular book. There’s nothing wrong with you if you DO like a popular book. There IS something wrong with you if you think either is a reason to look down on someone. Swap “book” for show, game, movie, etc.

Imagine getting mad about women in video games when you could just shut the fuck up 🥲

taylor and jack put extra crack in this one 🤠☁️

New essay published this evening. Musings on mental health, courtesy of my dad. Read “Be like me, don’t be like me“ by Robin Tynan on Medium #mentalhealth #memoir #writing

I was sick the entirety of May, first with a Jane Austen era mystery illness that had me bed bound, then with the flu that wouldn't go away. Got better, went to visit my dad because he was celebrating eid, and then immediately got sick again! Ffs 😭😭

I need to find time to go to the library!!! #booksky

I read "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" by TJ Klune the other day. A cosy hug of a book. A fantasy book with a gay protagonist, a villain called Jeanine Rowding, and a happy ending. #PrideBooks #BookSky

Hey all, I’m making a strategic move and going to unpublish the individual works that make up The Alex Series and release one full novel that includes the full story. a.co/d/0iabxQGD It’s coming out 6.13.26 and will be both digital and print. … #booksky #books #writingcommunity
