A big moment in my WIP #Ellamir for today's #WIPSnips Hannah reveals to Ella the truth about her and Maqine, telling her she realises it means that Ella can never see her again, and that she is sorry to have disappointed her. Ella may struggle to process this, but her heart steers her right...

#vss365 And all the people, who switched off their lights to let others know they would soon be passing, were huddled together in the dark. #Inky children collected their bulbs, still flaring with life when shaken, and the raven led these souls to the doorway between the drops of rain.

One of Ireland's less common butterflies, the green hairstreak, in a rewilding part of the farm yesterday. Rewilding isn't just about getting more trees and forests back, but increasing diversity and abundance of *all* our natural species and ecosystems.

Y’all, I did it! I was up until 2am last night 😅 but the book boxes are all packed up and ready to go to the post office tomorrow. I also made my word goal! Wasn’t sure if I could do it but 3k words penned. In between ✍🏼 sprints, I did my son’s Easter basket and hid the eggs 😂 #WriteSky #WriterLife

The #hand blown vase wrapped itself around a teak branch, and the arms of its sunfire flowers had spread across the ceiling. My ocean blue walls warped outward, like an unwrapped tear, while nimble fingers unclasp me, exposing the raw nerves under my floorboards. #vss365

✨📚 Book Review 📚✨ I LOVED this book! Dark, fast-paced with morally complex characters and a touch of the supernatural. Excellent work by @gunsmile.bsky.social I’m already looking forward to her next book! www.goodreads.com/review/show/... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ releases 4/9 Pre-order: a.co/d/0hDBcbWN #BookSky

She fed her longing to the deep well at the back, as shadows fell over the house like the wings of the bronzed night #crane. The creature that crawled out and lay at her feet, sang not of love but of blood and sand, keening until it was so small, it faded into the darkness. #vssdaily

A long-term patron of mine has passed away. People like him make me feel like my work truly means something. I struggle to express more beyond in words that so, I think celebrating his DnD character Syllia, who I had the joy to draw many times over the years, feels fitting. Thank you, Jan 💛
