🐍 RELEASE DAY 🐍

It's here, everyone! Noxious is OUT! The second book in the Bloodmaster series is available on Amazon (and KU). I'm so excited to finally be sharing it with everyone!

🔗 books2read.com/b/3JYzYJ

💙📚

Below is every thread I've made about it, if you want more info:

The cover of Noxious, book 2 in the Bloodmaster series. The illustration shows a Slayer (a black woman with red hair done in braids with golden ornaments) doing a backflip while licking a bloody spear. She has pointed teeth and a clawmark scar on her face. Book title and series title are at the bottom, my name (Ayrton Silva) is at the top.

Okay, Sephiroth's ultimate attack is a banger, but I can't get over how the first few seconds are basically this gif

Diálogo real:

Minha mãe: "Nossa, teu cabelo tá tão bonito hoje. O que tu fez?"

Eu: "Penteei."

Ela: "Não, não é isso. Teu cabelo tá bonito, tá liso, tá..."

Eu: "Tá penteado."

Ela: "Não! Normalmente quando tu vem aqui teu cabelo tá diferente, tá pra cima..."

1 - Já quase caiu um armário de parede na minha cabeça
2 - Um ônibus já bateu na minha bicicleta
3 - Um caminhão só não me atropelou porque a minha esposa vinha atrás de mim e depois de atropelar ela o imbecil do caminhoneiro saiu do acostamento (espero que esse fdp sofra uma morte grotesca)

Vcs ja quase morreram? Já tiveram algum acidente ou algo que voce literalmente quase foi de arrasta?

Eu quase morri eletrocutada de um jeito idiota, por um instante infinito pensei "então é isso né" e sobrevivi por mero capricho do acaso - a emenda do fio elétrico se soltou qnd eu caí

Varri a casa hoje e já tem um desalmado fazendo fogo de novo pra encher a minha casa de fuligem mas que DESGRAAAAÇAAAAAA

Ayrton Silva | 🐛☠️🔥 @ayrtonmsilva.bsky.social · 18h

Mas se vc parar pra calcular, dividindo isso aí por 2,5 dá mais de 100k por ano, que é acima da média

Ayrton Silva | 🐛☠️🔥 @ayrtonmsilva.bsky.social · 18h

More or less one novelette (~40k) a year. This year I got to do more at first but then my workload skyrocketed and my writing time is next to none, so next year I probably won't publish anything at all

Elise (they/them)🇦🇺 @eliseswritings.bsky.social · 1d

Authors, in the interest of helping readers spot gen ai 'authored' books, how many novels do you publish a year?

I publish one 80-100k+ word (epic fantasy) novel, and I can only do that because I drafted 8 novels before I started publishing any. 📚💙

- Unresolved issues with deceased grandparents
- Frayed sense of belonging due to aesthetic differences from the "norm"
- Unhealthy work/life balance from poor self-esteem

#PlotTober 10

Her aggressive pacifism came about because her island has been almost destroyed twice and a war would wipe it out. She's lost many loved ones already and knows the impact of even a single death.

Extra:
- Bad relationship to mother because of custody disputes in childhood

#PlotTober Day 10: MC backstory & traumas

Answer the prompt on the card by quoting this post. Remember, answering a prompt is always optional. Even if you don't share it publicly, I hope the prompt encourages you to think about it privately.

#WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WriteSky

#PlotTober - a WIP plotting game by @gunsmile.bsky.social

10. What are some potential backstory or contextual reasons for your main character(s) having this kind of personality or behaving this way? In other words, what could have caused them to be the person they are at the start of your WIP?

Remember: Use the #PlotTober hashtag, engage with others, and have fun!

- Agreed win conditions (to first blood, to surrender, to the death)
- Agreed gear (armor / tools / sidearms)
- Agreed referee (has to be neutral party)

All that shit has to be agreed upon before the duel begins, if it's halfassed the duel won't count for any meaningful purposes

#OctoberWorldbuilders

10: Competitive sport

Dueling! It's a pretty big deal in the Empire, because it can be practiced as a sport but also used to settle disputes.

Basic rules:
- Strictly 1v1
- Swords only (type of sword doesn't matter)
- Agreed bounds (leave = lose)

Eu tenho um fraco imenso por letra de música que não faz 100% de sentido, junta palavra que normalmente não se junta, etc

Ayrton Silva | 🐛☠️🔥 @ayrtonmsilva.bsky.social · 1d

conversando com ela, trocamos contato, etc.

Obviamente não foi pra frente, mas anos depois eu contei essa história pra minha esposa e ela ficou possessa, principalmente quando eu mostrei o perfil da menina pra ela. Ela ainda disse "essa criatura não parece nada comigo"

Ayrton Silva | 🐛☠️🔥 @ayrtonmsilva.bsky.social · 1d

Minha esposa.

Inclusive, história que talvez eu já tenha contado antes: logo quando eu conheci ela, um belo dia tava no metrô e vi uma menina MUITO parecida com ela e fui falar achando que era ela. Não era. Na época a gente ainda não namorava então como a menina me deu bola eu vim a viagem toda +
