I’m cozy on the couch and can’t bring myself to go to my desk for write just yet, so get to know me a bit better I suppose :)

#AwesomeCharacters Raven absolutely hates being bored. She needs to be kept busy or she gets grumpy and frustrated. Trig tries to help her by making sure she can train with her sword and not be so angry. Trig doesn't like being bored either, so he stress eats, and he's a big boy, so can eat a lot.

#AwesomeCharacters I mean, if Morgan had his way... I know this isn't that kind of prompt. 😂 Younger Mana would get very restless, but when she's older, she's grateful for any downtime. Mori loves "earned" downtime always. He gets quite busy in his 30s and on, so he's very protective of it later.

In 2087, a message from deep space warns Earth a harbinger of doom is hurtling towards our planet. It also outlines a plan to save us, but at what cost? Is it a hoax, or a trap, or will we indeed soon face extinction—unless we agree to the ‘Alliance’s terms? #BookSky #SFF amazon.com/dp/B0F82Y9S7X

#FebruaryWorldbuilders The Proxima Centauri system. A vast freezing system of desert planets. Proxima-C is the first outpost of the Synacran Empire and hive world of the Vespidarians. Proxima Centauri is a “flare star” and the radiation has burned the atmosphere. 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Ah, yes. The equivalent of leaving a red flag planted in a room. Myself and a friend did this IRL. #WriteSky

#Febchantment Anyone can learn and wield magic. Basic spells are easy to scribe. Complex spells are hard to scribe *safely*. An errant line can kill. Mordran, Ezra’s MC, is deaf and uses sign language, which counts as scribing, making most spells into cantrips. 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#AllHandsOnDeck Upright: "Bat Out of Hell Gas", the rebranded gas station beneath the "Hell Is Real" billboard. Reversed: "Last Chance Gas Station" with it's broken sign, non functioning lights, looking as abandoned as a functioning gas station can. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#QueerPrompts I pick one trait and go from there. Lord Satan, it’s her teeth. Virgil it’s his not-there smile. Lucifer it’s his eyes. It varies depend upon on the character. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#AllHandsOnDeck We're matching up our work to the Minor Arcana Tarot Cards. Tell us how your characters (or places, things, or events) match up! Today’s card is: ACE OF PENTACLES Who or what from your writing would go on it and how does it fit? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AwesomeCharacters Virgil hates it. He needs problems. His RSD NEEDs him to be useful. He can't let people get hurt if he can stop it. Not again. And being bored means being tired. And being tired means sleep. And Virgil will do anything to avoid that a little longer. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#TBRuary My gender is "whatever" so in the interest of keeping this interesting, I'm actually going to talk about other non-cis authors/works Book: Far Removed by @cblansdell.bsky.social Manga: Arata Kangatari by Yuu Watase (not exactly a queer manga, but Yuu Watase is

Good afternoon #writingcommunity (or whatever time of day it is for you 😆) Have a little snippet from my upcoming book THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, Part 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy 🌊☀️ #writers #writesky #hqpress

#AllHandsOnDeck New opportunities definitely calls to mind Ana and Stevie and whatever may come of their burgeoning relationship, not to mention the opportunity of getting some answers about the apparitions Stevie has seen.

Oh hey, today's #WIPSnips is ALSO new in the 2nd draft! (and also… prolly needs a pass to tighten up that comma situation, lol) Seems like a nice guy, right?

Ah, yes. The equivalent of leaving a red flag planted in a room. Myself and a friend did this IRL. #WriteSky

#writingprompt: yellow A pompous and extremely dangerous unicorn blocks the MCs from traveling any deeper into the forest in Prophecy #71. Alakshi surprises her companions by siding with him ... supposedly. #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writesky #amwriting

#Febchantment Oh hey, I have this image that I made for MoLaB (it ended up looking different in the book proper, but I still have this!) The text below is the alt text: Codex Dominex Those who use magic

Let's goooooo! 30 questions, need 30 likes.

$40 left to reach my goal for rent!! #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026 💕💸

Madam Lou Graham's Respite. It's the first place Hawthorne starts unlocking their gender identity and getting educated. It's a place of the weird folks feeling belonging when upright, but reversed it's a place of last opportunities. Hawthorne feels they have nowhere else to turn. #AllHandsOnDeck

#AllHandsOnDeck This feels like David Grossman. At the start of my current WIP, he's a successful real estate agent and engaged to be married. Found his fiance in bed with someone else, quit his job, and got tf out of town to Southern Vermont. (He's going to fall in love with a dragon princess.)

#AllHandsOnDeck Scarcity and instability define Zedenko's life. He fought for mere survival until he was twenty; since then he's had to fight to continue existing after death. Now the other MCs become an opportunity for more: meaning and love. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amwriting

#AllHandsOnDeck Upright: "Bat Out of Hell Gas", the rebranded gas station beneath the "Hell Is Real" billboard. Reversed: "Last Chance Gas Station" with it's broken sign, non functioning lights, looking as abandoned as a functioning gas station can. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AllHandsOnDeck This feels like the dangling carrot in front of Talia... the fee offered for her PI services by her two clients in the novel. It seems like a primary motivator, and a resource she has in hand, but it's also a bit of a gamble. She's already broke. Can she earn her pay?

Upright: the possibilities for the characters’ careers after their college graduation Reversed: the LI’s home situation gets shaken up when her mom moves in with her boyfriend and not everyone gets what they plan/want at the start of their senior year

Ace of Pentacles is the quest in A Paranormal Bromance 3 Upright: Freshly dating ghost Ren, Blake hits upon the idea to ask god-like being Justyn to manifest Ren’s body & have him live again. Justyn sends them on a quest to win Blake’s greatest desire 1/2 #AllHandsOnDeck

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt I didn't like my other uses and was short on time, so I pulled from Dance of Demons (cw, mention of death. Also spoiler warning, I guess 🫠)

#WIPSnips - "Except" Lots of "excepts" 🤣 I think I've shared this one before, but it's an important scene in The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle that I'm pretty proud of books2read.com/u/boB9YL steve-westenra.itch.io/the-erstwhil... #booksky #transauthor #queerbooks #queerhorror #indiehorror

#WIPSnips Page 1 of the mystery…

Centuries ago, a man from Earth was allowed in Noor, a world where all Elp‘da are born (they kept the worlds in balance). An opportunity for him, the demise for Noor. He has subverted rules in ways only men from Earth can. #AllHandsOnDeck #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

#AllHandsOnDeck I come prepared today! In the Cursed Thorn and Healed Thorn decks, Pentacles are Coins. Coins have a prominent role for Witches and, for the aces, I decided to focus on the coin instead of the characters. Both of these depict small scenes in Lemon Balm where Acanthus is paying- (1/2)

#AllHandsOnDeck Callum Black, CEO of NovAITech. Penultimate villain of Tyton and all around douchecanoe who believes money fixes everything and would definitely be in *those* files.

#AllHandsOnDeck Feb. 5 – ACE OF PENTACLES All of my books center around the sensual, passionate sapphic butch/femme dynamic, regardless of genre. Any image would reflect both masculine and feminine energies entwined in what those who are a part of this lifestyle refer to as "The Dance."

We live in a world where LGBTQ+ people feel unsafe. People like me. Perhaps, people like you. I write the Moonlight Hearts books as an antidote to that: a queernormative setting where discrimination is rare and villainous. A world with happy endings for queer folks and their found families.

I don't think I've ever got 30 likes on any post 😂, but lets do this. I might just answer anyway if I get bored enough.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders In Prophecies, the Dragoncrest Mountains have volcanic soil and lush vegetation. The city-state of Borvos is inside the mountains, using their volcanic channels for heat and material resources. Magmaids - elemental women with dolphin tails - swim in pools of molten stone.

#WIPSnips CW: brutal unarmed violence Early in Prophecy #71, Alakshi absolutely ruins four guys in a barfight. Here's the last of it, where she hints at my own love of submission holds, and it isn't pretty. #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #writingprompt #amwriting

Looks fun. Feel free to name a specific question, if that suits. Thanks to @khonri.com and @kiraofthewind.com for the posts of the source image.

#AwesomeCharacters Virgil would just add Hell's automated phone system to the call. It was made by a human and is the psychological equivalent of a blade golem, so if you don't know the trick, talking to it is like falling feet first into a wood chipper. Spiritually. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

The Cotton Candy of Dark Romance! A sex comedy about a pent-up werewolf, his hot roommates, and a cinnamon roll vampire S&M club owner who wants to make him howl. Everyone gets a happy ending... eventually. 😈 It's kinky! It’s gay! It's free! zekecaliban.itch.io/good-boys-do... #BookSky #Erotica

#AllHandsOnDeck The Suit of Shadows. Virgil's guilt and nyctophobia merge into a nightmare of vengeful shadows. It's his unconscious self-loathing and creative cruelty that he reserves only for himself. But a shadow cannot exist, without something to cast it... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#QueerPrompts Virgil's encounter with Dis in "Hell Is Work" makes his nyctophobia take an unexpected turn, as the darkness is afraid of HIM too. So, much to his consternation, it's a bit... helpful... on occasion. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
