Evie here! I write sci-fantasy stories full of myth, dystopias, lost gods, and other weird shit. Currently working on relearning how to draw 🙃 (a decade out of practice here) for my space station comic. Writing a novel about aforementioned gods. And crafting TTRPGs about dragons and gemstones. ☔
Their love had been a comet, once beautiful before it, now crashing down as little more than dust and rock.

It was a never ending myriad of anxious thoughts, swirling and pooling like fog around Death’s ankles.

I was on a great reading streak, but then I got to a book I really struggled with and lost all momentum. Oddly enough it the sequel trilogy to a series I really enjoyed, but it so heavily referenced the previous sequel I couldn't keep up. Any thoughts how to get my groove back?

The thing that would haunt Death from here to forever, so long as they lived. It was curled about a marble throne, the wisps of itself falling like mist over the edges. It would’ve been breathtakingly beautiful if it wasn’t so ominous.

Wow, that got away from me. Seems like I'm the kind of creative who goes heads down and disappears. Oops. 🫠

Because there's a person behind the persona, and I'm not just an author/aspiring artist 24/7... I gave a really huge presentation at work today and it was awesome. I might not have a "routine" or a specific "time I create" but this cadence brings me joy. And what is art without joy?

Memories floated on the tip of their tongue, tasting like sour acid and summer afternoons.

I've been thinking a lot about unreliable narrators and anti-heroes. Ever since I read "Catcher in the Rye" as a kid, I've been desperate to write something like. To turn everything on its head.

Anyone else?

"The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault." - Jim Butcher, Dresden Files

I firmly believe this is one of the greatest opening lines of all time. I'm curious to know everyone elses favorites!

Has anybody else read 3 Body Problem by @liu-cixin.bsky.social ? Like before you watched the show. (I didn't even know there was a show...) Anyway this is legit the best hard sci-fi I've ever read in my life.

Finally out of my outline and wrote 350 words today of an actual novel. It's insane to get back to it but I'm enjoying the process and along for the ride. Might switch back and forth with my other projects. How about you guys? Do you work on one thing at a time or flit around as you desire?

I gathered up some courage and made an aesthetic mood board for my author vibes on my IG. For the curious.... hope we can be friends on insta too!

Cookies and potato chips are food right? I forgot to check the time while I was dreaming about nanotech and dragons. Dinner is more spoons than I can manage so ...cookies. Cookies are good. 🐉🍪

Ok so... hear me out.... Short Story + TTRPG zine. Get your creative on and find a place for all the stuff without a home. I have so many things I don't have a place for but want to shove into the universe. Maybe a zine is that place??

It's taken me an embarrassingly long amount of time, but I finally got around to Becky Chambers' 'Psalm for the Wild-Built'. Chambers' work has always resonated and inspired me, but this feels like such a hug to my heart. Anyone else?

"A mausoleum polished daily and mistaken for a cathedral."

Could Time be any crueler? He's always been at odds with Rebirth but this seems like a low blow. Too bad both of them are wrong.

Woof. Worked through a rough patch of my outline just now. To be a complicit god of death or not? Throw it all away for chaos? 🤔🤔

It didn't surprise him at all, to find Eisali laying on the dunes of the lost with their arms and legs spread out while they made snow angels. Only someone as carefree and understanding as them would ever consider playing in the ashes of the dead as if it were winter snow.

Okay. First day back to actually working on art/writing instead of just prepping to do art/writing. Nothing to do but dive in!

You ever sit down to write and forget everything about your universe? 🙃Please tell me other people feel this.

I just finished reading Dark Forest by Liu Cixin and damn. This has to be some of the best hard to soft sci-fi I've ever read. It's definitely dense, but I can't wait to see how the Netflix series handles it. Thinking about my next read while I wait for the 3rd book from my library!

Took a leap and posted the first part of my short story on Tumblr 🫣If you like queer sci-fantasy retellings and generational ships, give it a go!

This is my first "finished" piece in over a decade. It's hard to be proud of myself but I also accept this is a part of the learning process and that stretching muscles takes time!

Anyway, here's Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. She's been my muse lately!
