at 11 am today, a Big Update I've been working toward for months went up on my blog! I intended to put it up last month, but wasn't quite done with something that may or may not be linked in the post... Anyway, here it is: nroywrites.blog/post/8304618...

nroywrites.blogWILDCARDS is officially in development! 💙(or: Nico tries to become a better project manager) Announcement A child flies a paper plane. I wonder where it's going? If I've been uncharacteristically quiet on the creative front these past few...

Some of you know already that this experimental webcomic project has been planned since late 2018, and it's finally taking concrete shape as a story, which is pretty cool. This particular story explores themes that are close to my heart. I love it dearly, and I hope you will too, someday soon. :)

how it started --> how it's going 💙 #comicart I've been learning digital art for my wip comic and having significantly more fun with it than expected. will def share more over the coming months but here's "hexaheart" (my fav comic icon) in trad (left) vs. digital form! #wcwip

I have basically not been reading (fiction) AT ALL for the past several months and while it's for a "good" reason, it's starting to take its toll I think. 💀

the pinned post will change in (1, 2, 3,) 4 weeks... 👀💙 but this one can stay for now bc i miss enote (which is not abandoned! I'm just on break from it rn for reasons!)

I'm participating in #roughdraftmonth & will be working on a first draft for my new mystery project enote !😈⚖️ very motivated for this project and happy to support initiatives that replace or improve on the nanowrimo concept, which I participated in almost annually for a decade. #writesky

I don't trust online book reviewers who have a very large percentage of negative reviews (like 75%+ of what they post). what that tells me is that you're either a) only posting the books you thought sucked ass, or b) dramatizing/stripping nuance from your reviews because that's what gets you views.

forgot my phone at work last night, leading to a "forced" (used loosely, i could have gone back for it) scrolling detox. which is fine, because deltarune chapter 5 comes out in less than four days and i have two files to finish. HOWEVER -

As it is Pride Month, I thought people might enjoy a list of the many queer themed talks that Romancing the Gothic has run over the years. Whether you want to explore trans rage in Polish cinema, explore the history of gay Gothic pulp, or lean about lesbian vampires, we've got it all! 1/

18 years ago today I wrote the first words of LIFE IN BLACK AND WHITE, which would become, and remains, the book of my heart. We have had such a long and storied journey together, and I can't wait to someday share it with you. 🌙❄️ #writesky

I painted #Tenna to commemorate the anniversary of #Deltarune Chapters 3&4 releasing last year! Even as a writer, it's pretty hard to convey in words what this game/story means to me, so I won't try, (1/3)

but I will say that Tenna in particular almost instantly became one of my favorite characters of all time from the very first day I played Chapter 3, to the point that it's hard to believe it's only been a year since I met him! (2/3)

Aside from the theme of nostalgia he effectively represents (a very personal and hard-hitting theme for me), I'm a sucker for a flawed character who contains multitudes. I could spend hours talking about what I find so very compelling about him. For now, I decided to try to paint it instead. (3/3)

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.
