Apparently I needed a good cry today, but now I’m exhausted.

I’m probably gonna log off, eat dinner, and sleep.

Callista Dagon. Spooky and intimidating. Stares that have you scared. Witty comebacks. Not afraid to get her hands a little bloody. And always wears black.

It’s important to have a support system. It was a struggle when I was younger to talk to people and rely on others for support. But I’m going to be 33 this year and I’m taking my medication, going to therapy, and working on getting myself out into the world. It’s hard but I’m trying 2/2

It’s World Mental Health Day… yay?

I dunno I’ve struggled with night terrors since I was a toddler. I started dealing with anxiety in middle school. I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was in high school. I went through an unmedicated period in my early 20s but I’ve learned a lot. 1/2

I’m not going to say much because I don’t want to jinx it BUT I’ve been working on a Thing for a couple months. It’s now complete and sent off to the higher powers. I’m both nervous and excited, but until I get news I’m going to try to relax.

Theodora Gardner is what you would call a corporate goth. She tends to dress on the skimpier side, but she’s so good at her job it’s hard to complain about the way she dresses.

She also spends her nights at a bdsm club called Bad Decisions.

#ocsky #writingprompt

Her hair was rich dark red, the color of fresh cherries that fell down around her shoulders. She had pale skin that she only made paler with the lightest foundation she could find and dark eye makeup. She wasn’t very tall, maybe five foot four, but she wore four inch platform boots that went up to her knees. She also wore fishnets and a leather dress that barely covered her ass. Theodora Gardner was definitely not the first person you would expect to find, walking into Kitrell Inc for a job interview.

Lilly Lockwood 🔥Pre-Order Broken Bells!🔔 @voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social · 19h

In just 1 week my debut novel will be officially out in the world 🫨 It’s so hard to believe I wrote a book that people can actually read.

The paperback for Songs of Broken bells with a backdrop of a brick wall. There are bells on ribbons hanging next to the book.
Glowing text says Releases in 1 week!
To the right of the book there it’s text that says

"This is an easy recommend for folks looking for rich, queer-normative worlds with lots of diversity and world building, cozy-but-not-cozy fantasy, and lighter romance/friendship subplots that aren't the central focus."
