Hello Bluesky! I'm Sasha, and I too have joined the Twitter exodus. (X-odus)?
I'm a fanfic turned original fiction writer, creating queer-norm fantasy worlds with characters struggling with their faith.
I'm looking forward to rebuilding community here!

I loved this line so much in wake up dead man that I thought about making this edit the whole walk home from the cinema

Six images, from top to bottom, left to right: a dark city street; a manor house; a pale white woman in a leather jacket; a vampire mouth with fangs visible and blood dripping; newspaper clippings; and a knife on a tree log.

Art is an act of hope. Writing is an act of rebellion. The world will always need more stories--from real human beings, not bullshit plagiarism machines. Every book is a love story from the author, and every reader is fighting the war against cruelty, ignorance, and hopelessness. We are fighting.

#FolktaleWeek prompt #4: Book

Brigid was the Celtic goddess of poetry & wisdom. Christian monks later made Brigid the Saint of poets. It seemed only fitting I should quote an Irish poet here: the divinely talented @nikitagill.bsky.social

Brigid sitting on a highland cow, framed by an arch of books and birch trees. Over her head pages of the written word are floating, accompanied by a poem by Nikita Gill. The leaves in the trees also resemble book pages.

What they don’t warn you about is that yes, you get better at writing and editing, but each book is different which means each time you are editing it you are gonna cry a lot in new ways.

Why am I posting this? Absolutely no reason whatsoever you’re posting this

“Another week survived is another week won.”
"How Are You?" Another week survived is another week won. I see the sacred in leaves turning from green to gold. November is a melancholy animal, glad of another season where it gets to hibernate. The world is still burning but we are trying harder to douse the flames these days, I recognise this as the shape of hope. I want to call everyone I love and tell them I love them. I am learning to act on that impulse instead of deferring it till a tomorrow that was never promised. I have finally understood that the poem doesn't always live in the wound. It lives in the love that heals us. - Nikita Gill

I have WICKED good news to share. Not only is UNTETHERING DARK getting an audiobook, it’s being narrated by THE Kimberly Wetherell. I immediately fell in love with her spellbinding storytelling voice, and how she does so much with subtle inflections.

I spent way too long in Canva making this graphic for this line of which I'm very proud 😂
Now I need to finish the book and hopefully write more in this world so I can use it again!

When people call religion useless I remember Carnegie's fear of hell doing what politicians of the Gilded Age wouldn't.

Day 95

Helping other writers is nice. Telling other writers they’re doing well is nice too.

Do nice things for fellow artists for the simple reason that it’s nice to do so.

600 words every day started Aug 3 to Dec 31 for a novel draft by end of year.
