Absolutely yes; Emile isn't really over his first love Xiomara and luckily she's pretty great. I'm still figuring out at what point I'm going to throw her at his university polycule (step 1: finish getting the 'cule together. 😅 WE'LL GET THERE) but she's not gone for good, just for now~ #Lovember
Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Would your character(s) still fall for their first love(s)?
If it doesn't make sense to answer for romantic love, you can talk about some other sort of "first love".

Emile LOVES being told what to do 😂 it's very comforting for him. Given that, he often draws people who prefer the OTHER side of that dynamic (as do some of his family); others close to him would prefer to avoid a telling/told dynamic altogether (as would the rest of his immediate family). #Lovember
Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

What's something (someone!?) your character(s) love that nobody else around them does?
November 26, 2025 at 2:36 AM
Emile is almost constitutionally incapable of showing up in response to an invitation without a gift in hand. That's more normal in this culture, and also, he can afford it! But also he... struggles to believe that his own presence might ever be gift enough.
(GREAT question)
What's a seemingly inconsequential detail about your MC that actually informs a lot about their character? #WritingPrompt

Fuck it, it's time, we're doing #WIPSnips again!

Still primarily from Shark Smoocher (now known as The Stars Will Be Our Ocean) until I make some more headway in my other drafts. And for "system," what else could I post but a moment with Dani and Patches?

Look when a bunch of hyper-industrious cuties start Doing Stuff maybe they've got something good cooking
#WIPSnips A bit rougher this time and from the same chapter I've been sharing a lot of snips from lately, but listen. Bees in mine carts.

Ah THIS heckin' jerk. Satisfying snip to see again~

The absolute gall of this guy.

FYI: "sah" in this culture is the address for children & subordinates. As the gods, Mireia & Kena are expected to address everyone as "sah," but Mimi gives it some extra oomph here.

From Book 2 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

Hey look at least if you were corporeal and could fall on your sword you wouldn't have to deal with someone messing with your cataloguing system 😤

The looming precipice of change you're utterly unprepared for is a terrifying place 😭
Lex, princess of Belenos, runs away from home and tries to figure out her next steps with the help of her handmaiden (Talna) and two smugglers (Euna and Seoras).

Rigorously researched/cited, critically considered, and rich with yearning, exhaustion, and hope, this is another great essay in this series examining various representations of trans men in media (with a generous side of history in this case especially!)

There's love, and then there's one of your beta readers leaving a fantastic review of your book to inaugurate its entry to Storygraph and Goodreads.

Whatever that is, it's better than love.
