the thing about small towns is everyone knows your business. the thing about *really* small towns is everyone knows your business and nobody's calling the cops about it cause their cousin is involved

You know you know you knowwwwwww…. Instead of switching from #spotify to someone else just as shitty, you can rebuild your personal music library. Better quality, and depending on how you do it, the artists get way more than 0.003 cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m sitting in an urgent care right now, and I wish it was this one

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Two Part Question: Have you ever had a boss to turn out to be a murderer or serial killer? And were you surprised when you found out? Cause I swear, I've got one ex-boss who could be Zodiac and I wouldn't bat an eyelash. #truecrime #bossfromhell #questions #horrorauthor

what if we fought monsters together and also I made you coffee every morning (and we we're both girls)

broke: having houseplants. woke: the walls are growing their own houseplants and they don't even need you to water them books2read.com/TheHazeThatE... #queerwriters #horrorauthor #indieauthor #horrorbooks #booksky #writesky #TheHazeThatEats💙📚👀📢📚😱

Morning coffee in Beirut.... #blueskyartshow #warmth #beirut #lebanon #coffee #arabiccoffee #graffiti #streetart #art #streetphotography #urban #travel #middleeast #flaneur #curmudgeon #digitalnomad #morning

do you ever get attached to places that are objectively terrible? like why am I nostalgic for the worst apartment I ever lived in #questions

I'm just gonna leave this one here. #queerwriters #wipsnips #horrorwriters #booksky #writesky #TreetopHollow #amwriting

THE HAZE THAT EATS is sapphic body horror about a maintenance worker who discovers her apartment building is alive—and hungry. Perfect for fans of MEXICAN GOTHIC meets MIDSOMMAR. books2read.com/u/4E72O0 #IndieHorror #booksky #writesky #queerhorror #horrorauthor

Honestly, I can't wait for this one to be out in the world cause I think everyone is gonna just love Doc. #writesky #booksky #wipsnips #horrorauthor #queerwriters #writingcommunity

Im trying to get back on the saddle with my WIP. Last month, feeling so inspired I slammed out thousands of words. Then I started re-reading and editing those words, and now I'm doubting my ability to form coherent sentences and can't write. It sucks. #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

Let's just say, Lexi's big debut on her tiny town does not go as she plans for it to. #writesky #booksky #wipsnips #horrorauthor #queerwriters #writingcommunity

Not to spoil the fun - but if you're actually looking for one of these bad boys they're on Amazon. Not IKEA, lol. I was very surprised by IKEA for a minute there until I looked it up.

Vee herself would firmly be the latter. It's a sticking point for her. Either of her potential girlfriends though.... They might have a harder time deciding which category they actually want to be a part of. #TreetopHollow #writingcommunity #amwriting #queerwriters

I love rich people houses. They're so shiny and creepy. #TreetopHollow #WIPSNIPS #WritingCommunity #amwriting #horror

I just recently finished this series! Fantastic fluffy sapphic romance in the old west. I highly recommend these as curl up and relax reads.

Here are some of my favorite pages from a 10 page comic which was intended for an anthology from a few years ago. The anthology book ended up not happening, no biggie, life happens. But wanted to share! Drawn by me and written @mercymercury.bsky.social #comics #drawingcomics #comicartist #noaiart

I have been all over #welcometoderry Dread and tension every time *chefs kiss* Although, I am still anxious to watch episode 4 😬 #digitalillustration #illustrator #fanart #artsky

" 'Mercy to the wolf is cruelty to the sheep.' It’s a good way to express the Hunter outlook. At the same time, wiping out the wolves would be equally cruel. Everything and everyone has value, a place, and a purpose, and every piece of a system affects others... 1/6

Settling in for a writing day with my fancy coffee. Today will be a good day :) #writesky #amwriting #horrorwriters

Not naming names... But in this our year of 2025, releasing software that doesn't offer a "dark mode" option is seriously a dick move.

If only we all remembered how terrifying teenage crushes were. #TreetopHollow #WIPSNIPS #horrorwriters #booksky #writesky

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me. Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com/cover-work

Didn't have any burgers today, but I did have an elk that surprised our MC. #queerhorror #horrorcomedy #horrorauthor #queerauthor #writesky #booksky #WIPSNIPS

How better to get acquainted than a barbeque? #wipsnips #queerwriters #horrorwriters #writingcommunity #amwriting

Ok it's actually crazy fun that today's prompt lines up with the opening paragraph of Treetop Hollow. It just feels nice. #writesky #wipsnips #writinghorror #indieauthors

You get one folkloric defense item to survive a supernatural encounter. No weapons. What’s in your toolkit? #writesky #booksky #horror

Writing horror-comedy means balancing dread and punchlines. My rule: if the monster eats someone, it better be funny or emotionally devastating #writesky

Xena/Callisto as a pair would be so perfectly matched in the worst way. They would be so toxic, and bring out the worst in each other, and burn the whole world down in their wake. But the sex would be so hot. . TIL I ship it.

Every time I write about body horror, I’m also writing about care. What breaks, what heals, what lingers. #BodyHorror #WritingThroughIt #writesky

Oooh, time for a #wipsnips from Treetop Hollow. I am so excited to share any portion of this story. Surprise though, this is a surprisingly chill moment in the story? Not for long.... #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

Started writing at 2am with headphones on. Woke up at 6am with 3,000 words, a nosebleed, and a new god.

My fictional cat’s powers include: glowing eyes, teleportation, and the ability to ruin group chats.

Legit question: Has the word "monster" become cliche in fiction? I got a response praising that a flash fic was really good, only for them to zero in on the word "monster" and write a whole paragraph about how THE WORD was played out. News to me, I guess? What about you? I'm genuinely curious.

😘 that feeling when you made the cut, and get included in the in-laws drama group chat. The drama starter didn’t even include her own bf, but I get a front row seat ☺️

Wooo! Continuing my perfect score of agent query rejections. 🙃

Yes! I usually write original fiction, but the other day I woke up and like a lightning bolt got hit with a fan fiction I had to write. I got two chapters in before I discovered it was the most trite and tropey shit that EVERYONE writes for this ship. I never felt so basic.

Mad scientist authors: what’s the most unhinged thing your villain has done that you’re proud of?

That’s a gooooood scratch #mammals #coyotes

Trying to write dystopia that doesn’t feel autobiographical. Reality, I’m begging you: pump the breaks on being comedically apocalyptic for like, five minutes.

#selfieoftheday as a reminder to the internet (and myself) that I am indeed a real person.

Everyone deserves a little treat. Even if all you did was exist today, you all deserve a little treat. Not me, though. I haven't done enough.

Hooooly crap I forgot about A Troll in Central Park until right now. I think it and Fern Gully deserve a double feature now.

Imagine a slasher flick where the Final Girl is also the killer’s therapist. "I’m not mad, just disappointed… and holding a chainsaw."

Writing sometimes unearths new facts about yourself, like apparently I've got a lot more Komodo dragon trivia in me than I thought, and it's just busting to get out. And bite things. With a mouth so filthy it acts like venom.

I've got two villains and a hero who could each give a TED Talk titled “Why I Deserve to Be Worshipped and Also Why You’re Wrong.”
