They call authors omnipotent, my characters beg to differ.
Ask me about the cosmos ⭐️ and demons 😈 and magic 🔮

It's finally cold enough that our aloof void kitty has become a snuggle bug. No lap is safe, especially when it is covered in a fluffy blanket.

Cozy season is finally upon us, and it means that I get to pull out my favorite cozy season accessories: my slipper socks.

They're koalas.

A suuuuuper totally factually accurate infographic I made for this blog. There is a LOT of high quality fanfiction, but because it's often unedited, the spread in quality for fanfic is way higher.

We all need special spaces to achieve our best zen. This is my setup ♥️

Almost out of the revision hell!
Is it good for the book that I'm sharper at noticing and removing my fanficcy bad habits? YES!

Also me @ that thirteenth scene of the MCs gratuitously loving on each other, knowing it reads as superfluous, knowing I should cut it. #writesky #writingcommunity

1: foot traffic is what benefits libraries, so coming in and signing up is a net POSITIVE
2: this state is beautiful and fun to explore, so you should do it.
3: every new card is extra access to the Libby catalog, so smaller wait times for digital media!

I think it needs to be said that there might be no greater character reference place than The National Gallery. Public domain portraits from the 1800s so your character looks attractive and unique? YES. #writesky #writingcommunity #publicdomain

No, I will NOT be "asking" ChatGPT for writing inspo. Not when all of this glorious swag exists to tickle my creativity bone!

#BluePit📖 #A #F #Q #ND #LGBT Daya was always told dragons were violent & Caliban was the worst of them. Then she was assigned to guard him, and instead of trying to kill her (save for once), he invited her to breakfast. How do you react when everything you know is a lie? You spark a revolution.

13 chapters to go for Songs Through the Ether! The second in my Wielders of Dragon Fire duology! I've always been a plotter, acknowledging that I will need to rechart midway through, but I think it's locked in now.

#BluePitHype Day 2! I've met some truly spectacular artists from fandom, and have been able to commission them.

This one was a commission from the amazing @carlizwall.bsky.social for the main characters Caliban and Daya from my book The Dragon in the Gilded Cage.

Daya was told dragons were violent, and Caliban the worst of them. Then she became his guard. Instead of trying to kill her (save for once), he invited her to breakfast. What do you do when everything you know is a lie? Eat first then spark a revolution. #YouDeservepIt #Q #A #F #YA #writingcommunity

Fantasy writing is made so much better when we get to nerd out at the same time 😍 #textbooks
