I just used the “when I was growing up this used to be” line to a worker at my old skating rink. 💀 I am ancient. I can feel my hair greying.

“Why am I even bothering to write this? Their story has already been done before.” — I ask as a writer who almost exclusively reads retellings. 😅 #Writer #WriterLife #Retellings 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️

I need people to stop treating genocides like a hierarchy. "We can't talk about Palestine because it hurts Democrats." "We can't talk about trans people being genocided because Palestine." "We can't talk about Black and Indigenous people because trans people." LEARN TO MULTITASK. People are dying.

I’ve gotten glowing reviews for how I’ve written and maintained Patroclus’ voice in my novelette and now I’m scared I won’t do Achilles’ POV justice. 🥲 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️ #Writer #QueerWriter #WriterLife

A writing critique group I’m in met today and I took notes too quickly while getting my work critiqued and now I have a note that just says “Magic to sign the man made” ??? #Writer #WriterLife #QueerWriter

Happy Bealltainn! 🧚 I tried to collect dew this morning but the Georgia wildfires and current drought kind of spoiled that venture. #CelticPagan #Bealltainn #Beltane #WordWitch

The main thematic questions for my current WIP are: At what point does one lose themself on a quest for revenge / who gets to decide when they are considered lost?

May is looking like it has good things in store! #Tarot #TarotSky #Witch #Divination #WordWitch

I’ve read far too many #FFVII / #Zakkura fanfics to have not seen anyone link Genesis and Roche together in some way (brothers maybe? Father-son, even??) and yet if someone has, I have yet to come across it! Truly a missed opportunity. I might be forced to rectify this myself.

“By the end, I often wondered if Thetis’s warning had been for my sake as well. There is nothing so agonizing as loving a man who chooses each day to run towards his death. Preferring to seek the intangibility of glory over the devotion you offer him with your every breath.” #WipWednesday #Writer 📚🏳️‍🌈

Just finished the first part of a novella I’m working on and I got excited by the end for the next part only to realize I’m the one that has to write it.. 😅 #WriterLife #QueerWriter

I just lit this candle like 20 minutes ago and dedicated it to my writing today saying it would “help my words and creativity flow.” It just went out like this. What the fuck??? #Writer #Witch #WordWitch

My goals for the week are to get at least 3k more words in my current short story, make the changes my beta recommended, continue working on my fairies blackout poetry project, and talk to more people on here / try to make queer writer friends! 💙💜

Post a film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel. My favorite movie and book despite how different the two are! I actually just finished watching it again this afternoon. 😅

My 7yo and I were both told by another kid that we’re going to hell bc we aren’t Christians. It was a friends kid and they’re going to be addressing it. No hard feelings to the kid but idk I’m kind of offended on my kid’s behalf? She’s 7. She shouldn’t even have to have hell on her radar. 🙃

I really need more queer writer friends and accountability buddies!! 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️

Nobody (haha): Sora: he was an asshole, you say? That’s my boyfriend, alright!

Looking for book recs that touch on (at least partially) the theme of coming into your own gender identity after experiencing sexual trauma? Hoping for fiction / fantasy / horror but open to any and all genres. #bookrecs #queerbooks #LGBTBooks #Fiction

I just got a chapter back from a beta reader and a question was raised about a specific word I used. The word was subjection instead of subjugation because I was under the impression subjection is typically used to refer to people whereas subjugation was like, countries. Is that not accurate?

I accept that as a #Disabled person I am probably not going to survive the coming collapse of civilization. But I still fully plan to fight for my survival (and my comrades') till I drop. It isn't hope or blind faith. I believe the fight for justice is worth the salt... even if we lose in the end.

My dermatologist’s “budget” recommendation for a vitamin C serum she wants me to use is $30. It IS budget compared to the $70 one she originally recommended but still wildly outside of what I can afford. 🫠 Anyone have any cheaper recommendations for a good quality vitamin C serum? #skincare

“I was bound for the grave regardless. The only question left to me was if I’d be laid to rest six feet under, or if my body would become a grave from the loss.” #FavLineFriday

I’m creating a series of blackout poems using entries from An Encyclopedia of Fairies by Kathrine Briggs. One poem per letter of the alphabet. Today I used the section on Abbey Lubbers. 🖤 #Poetry #BlackoutPoetry #NaPoWriMo

Whoops, I turned metal music on and now I’m sleepy. Thanks, ADHD!

The Sunrise On the Reaping trailer gave me CHILLS!!

Homer’s favorite game is seeing how many different ways he can call a man attractive while complaining about it. He’s a pro.

I’m attending my first critique group that’s specifically for Science Fiction and Fantasy this afternoon. I’m super excited!

If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.

Rufus Shinra is one of if not the most annoying boss fight in FFVII omfggg Is it on me for bringing a sword to a gun fight? Shut up, my gunman ran off after the cat.

Got my hands of a copy of @morgandaimler.bsky.social’s newest book! As a seelie wight enthusiast, I’m stoked! 💙💜🖤

I just used an em dash in my writing and now I can feel myself becoming part AI. 😔

Five books to get to know me (in no particular order): 1. The Folk of the Air series - Holly Black 2. Once and Future - Amy Rose Capetta & Cori McCarthy 3. The Poppy Wars - R. F. Kuang 4. The Bone Witch - Rin Chupeco 5. The Hazel Wood - Melissa Albert #booksky

Idk who gave Noah Khan the right but thanks for your service.

It’s so very telling that a symbol representing the systemic failure of the criminal justice system has been co-opted to represent cops. Like, yes, you are a part of the corrupt system. Thanks for letting everyone know, I guess?

Scrivener’s new dictionary feature is going to significantly lessen how often I get distracted while writing. 😭 I love it!!

Four video game characters that are extremely important to me:

I love seeing notes in my projects from myself that just say things like “elaborate sappily” lmao

Despite loving to write, I never learned how to type correctly. I grew up home-schooled, just as the internet was becoming big, and somehow, learning to type was never addressed. I ended up just figuring it out as I went.

I’m Elowyn (or Elle, whichever floats your boat) and I’m working on a Cozy Fantasy that’s a genderqueer, Selkie-centric The Little Mermaid meets Kiki’s Delivery Service as well as a sapphic, vampire, revenge story that’s essentially Jennifer’s Body meets Promising Young Women!

Super excited to be participating in my very first writing critique circle tonight! And a sapphic one at that! I’m bringing a poem I’ve been working on about the myth of Daphne, Apollo, and the origin of the laurel tree. #amwriting #writingcommunity #queerwriter

I’ve inhaled stories in every form my entire life. I was (am) the stereotypical autistic kid who takes a bag full of books everywhere I go. lol.

Both of their childhoods were mostly happy. It wasn’t until my MCs were older that they realized they were also rather sheltered.

Hello! First time participating in any kind of writer chat! I’m Elowyn and I’m working on a cozy fantasy featuring queer Selkies. Think The Little Mermaid meets Kiki’s Delivery Service!

I love Yuffie from FFVII but damn, does she need to learn how to read a room. 😅

Finally got my hands on The Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones! As a fantasy #writer I’m super excited to dig into it! As a reader, Diana is my favorite author and I’d read her grocery list and be thankful. 😌 Has anyone else read it? #amreading #writing #books #writtingcommunity

New #poem about friendship breakups and the early 2000’s songs they inspired! 🖤💔🖤 #writer #poetry

Maybe I just got serious about writing at a bad time but I’m genuinely surprised and honestly alarmed at how many self-published authors are using gen AI in their writing process and to generate their book covers.

“Looking back now, I wonder if all champions must come from the subjection of others.” #FaveLineFriday
