Anna Oakheart @heartclock08.bsky.social · Jan 4
With this new year, I think it's finally time to introduce my debut story, which I've been working on for 4 years now.

It's a dark fantasy series taking place in a small cartoon world called "Amniland". 🧵⤵️

post blue art! 🩵💙
Digital painting of a lone red balloon floating high in the sky, dwarfed by the large cloud front it is passing by. Digital impressionist painting of three wanderers in a serene, hazy landscape. Digital painting of a person plunging backwards into deep, cold water, surrounded by an aura of red. Digital painting of a snowless winter day. Standing in dry grassland the viewer sees three thin, tall towers far off at the horizon; red beacons faintly shining against a cool sky.

Still one of my favorite memes
A picture of two people at a computer with many monitors implying surveillance. Words say "See? She searched for chloroform, blood spatter patters, acid that dissolves bodies, various blunt-edged weapons, and the difference between the degrees of murder charges. Should I set her as a security risk?" "No, look here. She also searched for coffee memes and about three dozen synonyms for the word 'carefully.' It's another damn writers. Move on."

I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to do this but December is difficult and yesterday someone tried to use my bank account to spend $378 on a company in Germany. So my card is canceled and I can’t even use the small amount in my account to pay bills.

Little ghost! 👻 Photo from my collection, 1964.
Black and white photo of a shorthaired pretty little white cat standing on a lawn in front of a white clapboard building. It’s looks like it might be meowing as the mouth seems open. Its tail is up and it has a happy, relaxed air about it.

Danbi trying and failing, trying and failing, trying and failing…

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying
📚💙
“Think of what this place means to you, Danbi. How it made you who you are. And reach for the heat at your fingertips.” I listen to the forest. I think of my days in the woods, turning over stones, floating in the creek, dreaming up worlds. Of sitting in the brush outside the apartment building, peering up from my book to search for my mom in the window. My hand reflexively reaches to the side, and I imagine the feel of hickory bark beneath the pads of my fingertips. And then I feel something. A kind of intensity in the air—a broad, gentle warmth, like holding your hand over a frying pan to test its heat. I shift my fingers an inch, and they feel hotter now. Elated, I lunge for the heat, my hand swooping through the air. The heat vanishes. I open my eyes. Nothing. “Try again.” “I felt something, but it was—” “It takes time. You must be steady. Try again.” I do. I try a second, third, and fourth time, but to no avail. Every attempt, something is off-balance—I move too hurriedly or too sluggishly, grab for the heat too aggressively or too softly, render the mental visual too vaguely or too inflexibly. After the twelfth attempt, Vega calls it a day, and we leave the Habitat. I trudge through the woods in defeated silence. But as we part ways, she says, “Come here again tomorrow. We made progress today, whether you realize it or not.”

G'morning #WIPSnips! Having the fourth on the eighth is kinda confusing, but not as much as Jennifer's stomach is after her very first FTL trip in TLC.
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I stumble onto the landing pad the second the ramp touches down and fall to my knees. I realise it’s been quite a while since I’ve had anything in my stomach, because I’m heaving but nothing is coming out. After the fourth abdominal contraction my body gives up and goes back to mostly normal, and I’m left panting. “You don’t look too good,” Driona comments from beside me. “Really? What gave you that idea?” Driona chuckles in a very human manner and holds something near my head. I look to see what it is and it’s some sort of cylindrical metal container. “What’s that?” I ask. “Water, just normal water. Your species drinks water, right?” I stare at it for a moment, reach out and take it from her. The top springs open to show clear water inside. I smell it, and there’s nothing bad to it. I then up-end the entirety of the cylinder’s contents down my throat. It’s just on the bearable side of ice cold, and it goes down wonderfully. I cough a few times as I hand it back to her. “Thank you. I needed that.”

The second-to-last chapter was getting way too long, so I decided to split it into two chapters instead.

I may not be able to finish the draft by Sunday, but I'll try.

Apparently, there's been some discourse about audiobooks? That some claim listening isn't reading?

I mean, listening is *technically* not reading, but who the freak cares, really? The experience is practically the same, whether you're reading or hearing the words.
