New intro post for the benefit of all my new followers! I'm Emma, and I write weird fantasy books of all subgenres. They usually contain flawed characters, twisty plots, and a high level of sarcasm. Also, there's typically a dragon in there as well. 🐉

The good news is that after nearly two weeks of plague-induced fog, I finally have my brain back. The bad news is that I keep using it to rearrange my to-do list instead of actually doing the stuff on the list. 😆

No worries! 😁

Same. I don't even have the energy to be annoyed at the US-based small press who published my first few books for not bothering to register any of my titles for copyright either. (I mean... it's consistent with the rest of my experience with that publisher tbh).

Yep, I'm there, too. (Though I'm also in the UK, so it never even occurred to me that US copyright was a thing I should pay attention to! Sigh.)

Emma L. Adams @emmaladams12.bsky.social · 6d

Brb, just off to scream into the void for a bit.

I finally finished this chonky beast! But...

With standout character work and loads of Final Fantasy vibes, The Godsblood Tragedy was an epic start to the series (aka, I loved it)

So far, this story I'm writing has involved several explosions, a fair bit of blood, and the increasing chance of it turning into a novella instead of a short story. So, right on brand for me. 😆

Started the week with a root canal, whee. It’s got to be uphill from here, right?

Emma L. Adams @emmaladams12.bsky.social · 11d

I just need to hang on until I see the dentist on Monday... 🫠

Alcohol makes me sleepy so that tends to backfire on me 😆 but I might as well see if this ends up being a work of genius or absolute nonsense 😆
