Lots chatter in these social media streets bout Children of Blood and Bone. ALL BLACK EVERYTHING flick got ALL BLACK DRAMA. But this blog ain't bout none of that. Instead, I tackle another related controversy about the joys, rewards, perils, and pitfalls of writing African-inspired fantasy.

Oh hey fellow makers, this is VERY cool looking. Don’t have to go down with the Etsy ship! fybe.art

I'm sharing my favourite writing apps with no AI, ads, or data harvesting! Ellipsus.com Beautiful, fully-featured writing environment. There's a paid option, but the free version is amazing. TrackBear.app Free writing tracker for words, chapters, pages, scenes, lines and time. 🏷️ #PretendPanel

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

I have a little over 300 words left to hit 60k! Already planning my reward👀

I fell while running this week which hurt my motivation and abilities to write BUT I did get good chunk in other day and only have ~1k left to hit goal

EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE x ANATHEMA Renwick Crawford is no stranger to being Othered. Autistic, a trans man, and now a vampire in a world that accepts none of these, he seeks belonging in a land of eternal night called the Everdark...and now he needs to save it. #BluePit #W #A #F #LGBT #TR

ICYMI I have a queer cozy horror releasing in 9 days in which a 43yo autistic guy has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest & his sister goes into the wood after him with the most annoying woman she's ever met bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Enjoyed @writehive.bsky.social this past weekend and, coupled with having this week off from babysitting, was inspired and ready to tackle today💪 I got a lot done and truly feeling like I'm catching up on life after all the delays it's thrown at me

It's my birthday today! 🎉 I've been enjoying black/gold art lately. A little share today of some of them would be cool. c:

You can't quit forever. Then you'd have to think about writing forever. And at that point it's easier to just write forever.

This lemur at the Central Park Zoo was definitely the mood on a hot, humid day in NYC last week.

I'm late (because I'm terrible at being active) but happy pride month! 🏳️‍🌈

Reverse FRIEREN x DUNGEON MESHI x international monster myths Mal doesn’t understand how she became the world’s only immortal human, but that won’t stop her and her bookworm elf companion from slaying every mythical beast until they’ve unlocked the secret to ending immortality. #WIPPIT #WIP #A #F

I needed a therapist in childhood and instead I discovered the magic of books

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

ARCs sent out (ping me if you want one), pre-order is set up, all that is left is marketing and checking the document for the 19th time for typos. Writing and publishing have their own checklists like a Honey-Do list, and the steps in completing a quest. My reward - sleep and cookies. #litrpg

*crawls out of hole life buried me in* how's everyone doing? 🫩

sorry for being cringe I'm trying to enjoy being alive
