...(sighs: pours a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and heats up the grill) So now that we're done with that: wanna buy some books about young #wizards from an older, more *experienced* #writer on the subject? Do check these out, because (at #BlackFriday prices) they're on #sale! 🙂

My debut novella is currently available for Pre-order and coming out on the 21st. 🎉 #TheLurker wherein I talk about my writing process in the most unhinged manner (making it a parable between a kidnapper and a captive.) books2read.com/u/bwJrGZ #SelfPublish #Novella #Writesky

Over at my Tumblr: off a reader's ask, a casual discussion of plagiarism: avoiding it and dealing with accusations of it. WARNING: contains Bibble. :) www.tumblr.com/dduane/79923...

Incidentally this is why it's so devastating when a convention fucks up dealer table placement / layout, doesn't advertise or promote the existence or whereabouts of the attending indie creators, etc. We're on shoestring budgets, and failing to break even can ruin us.

Happy Halloween!! Here's some of my spooky art to celebrate! 🎃🐺🌙 #originalart

SUMMONING TROUBLE Wallace and David run a magical anomaly investigation office. They never expected a typical job from a cute potion maker would lead to fighting demons. #ghostpit #A #F #OS

I spent so much of today fussing with this, I'm forcing myself to call it done. Still got that Flins brain rot #dreaminggoblindraws #Flins #GenshinImpact #GenshinFanart

little reminder I've got commissions open ✨

finding the courage to post (´。＿。｀) technically this is a gift for my bestie (yes you're seeing it again <3 @lurakha.bsky.social ) but i'm actually quite proud of it. Reference from @theposearchives.bsky.social (godsent of an account, truly) #dreaminggoblindraws #dreaminggoblinOC

Li'l Kitty, which is accurate and one of the things I call my cats also

0/10 honestly. I think I'm quite possibly the least intimidating person I know. My cats can be more intimidating than me, and they're all silly and fluffy. (once i stop being afraid of people being annoyed/angry with me though it's over for y'all)

books2read.com/u/bwJrGZ Pre-order is now up for the e-book version! (Still working on the print version). #TheLurker is a meta-humor/light horror novella about struggling to write a first draft in the month of November. #Writers #Nanowrimo #Selfpublish

😅 I can't describe what it's like to hold a book I wrote for the very first time... #SelfPublish #TheLurker #Writesky 1/2

Note to self: don't draw with tablet in lap and laptop screen at an angle it is hell Anyway. In a slightly vampirey mood lately bc of Bloodlines 2 looming. I will watch from the sidelines until I can get my hands on it. #dreaminggoblindraws #sketch #digitalart

It’s #PortfolioDay again! I’m a fantasy artist and love to draw characters, OCs, and romance! I’m active in the #bg3, #dnd, and #DragonAge fandoms and dabble in #ff14. I may soon be taking commissions again! Check out more of my art with the #nixmoriarty tag~

Commissions are open. This is a price overview for the rest of 2025. First come, first served. Any and all questions can go to my DMs or the comments here. Note: no fanart, no mecha. #dreaminggoblindraws #commissionsopen #artcommission

birbs One of the birds flocking to our cherry tree ate one of the wasps that have nested in my wall today. I'm very proud of the little guy. #dreaminggoblindraws #bird

On today's agenda: starting a new murder cult with your hubbies 💖 #bg3 #art #baldursgate3 #tavstarion #durgestarion #astarion

Listen #Writers, I don't know how to market this book (I don't know how to market in general), but it is very short and contains humor aimed at other writers. So maybe by the end of 60ish pages you'll have a laugh and decide that you'd like to give me a chance as an author. #TheLurker #Writesky 1/2

Happy International Lesbian day! What a good day to pick up a copy of Last Light! a.co/d/3jupKXK

Day 3/page 3 #EMMRICHWEEK2025 Grief | Thanatophobia Laelia expands on why she was uncomfortable with necromancy when she and Emmrich first met, and the two idly talk about the comfort the necropolis brings while the two walk towards the Memorial Gardens. { #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge | #Emmrich }

couldn't be bothered with feet or butt this evening doodling session (post flu shot, am tired) so fluffy tail it is #dreaminggoblindraws #nsfw #sketch

It is heartwarming that my mother, previously embarrassed and shocked at my interest in her old romance novels ('those are SEX BOOKS! 😱) has in this spooky season brought 16 erotica novels into the house. The vampires probably helped.

Day 2! Emmrich recalls Laelia’s former hesitancy around necromancy, noting the change with curiosity. (I know it’s a stretch with the prompt but cut me some slack :p) #EMMRICHWEEK2025 #Curiosity { #nixmoriarty | #dragonage | #Emmrich }

Day 2: Curiosity I’ve often thought about how Emmrich could have met Manfred 20 years ago, back when he was just a small flame, and how it later evolved into a lasting bond #EmmrichVolkarin #Emmrichweek

It’s #EMMRICHWEEK2025 !!! I’ve made a fan comic, where each page was based (sometimes loosely) on the daily prompts, woven into a very self-indulgent and flufftacular story, featuring my Rook: Laelia Aldwir. I’ll post 1-2 pages a day! Day 1: #Necromancy { #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge }

Today's doodles: Rerir, Rerir but i actually coloured in his hair, and my OC Althea #dreaminggoblindraws #rerir #genshin #genshinfanart #dreaminggoblinOC

so i finished playing through the nod-krai main story..... and listen. i love flins with all my heart, but he now needs to share brain space #dreaminggoblindraws #rerir #genshinimpact

Been a while since I did some painting....Actually almost a year, aside from the odd character illustration. Oopsie. Anyway. Snerpents. Creechures, even. #dreaminggoblindraws #digitalart #creature

FUN FACT you can now get Sword of Avalon from: AMAZON (*hack, spit*) KOBO GOOGLE PLAY BARNES & NOBLE APPLE BOOKS as well as ME, OBVIOUSLY. Get it from me, tho. That way I get paid.

It's October so you should absolutely read Ghost Punch, my horror comedy series. Think legends and lattes meets supernatural. It's funny, it's spooky, there's found family, a nonbinary character, an amnesiac Victorian ghost, everyone is queer, and there are three books out! mybook.to/GhostPunch1

It's a lovely morning on the internet and you are a horrible queer! Drop your links to queer books! Yours, someone else's, tradpub, indie, share ALL THE QUEER BOOKS to make a fash shit themselves. Go!!!

It's NYCC next week, and for the first time at a US show I will have ALL of my books. Please come buy them, I can't get them on the plane home with me 😆 I'll also have some ooOOoooOOOo HAUNTED GOODIES ooOOOooo!!! Table WB-4, Hall 1B, Level 1 (AKA the same hall as Artist Alley).

www.kickstarter.com/projects/191... We're hopefully doing a Welsh folklore anthology - gyffrous iawn! Please back and/or share widely!

I committed the #writing sin of writing about writing (as fiction) and now I'm trying to get you to read it. (ARC sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... ) Whereas #TheLurker is mainly a vehicle for jokes about the rough drafting process, it's also about self-care through the joy of creation. 1/3

It's a lovely morning on the internet, and you are in search of a book. shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/jac...

Haven't done any pencil sketches in a good while #dreaminggoblindraws #sketch #pencilsketch

We’re looking for some cover artists/designers for a couple of upcoming projects! But you gotta be real. •No AI •We have no interest in anime-style work, sorry We need someone comfortable illustrating plants and animals (especially birds). Please reply with a way to see your portfolio.

Every time I haven't drawn for a while I need to relearn. So modern AU for one of my protagonists, and a colouring page of a wee dragon who ate no kings why are you looking at her like that #dreaminggoblindraws #digitalart #doodle
