Hey there, Bluesky! I'm a writer working on a YA epic space fantasy series~ ✨ Please take a look!
After being betrayed, Emily finds the life she knew gone, replaced by the demon lord’s encroaching rule. Having escaped him before, she knows the might of his magic—and that she can’t win alone.

Thank you for your work. This is another one I like to support. 30% of Natives have no running water. That's horrific in the land of selfish billionaires.

Help DigDeep bring clean, running water to hundreds of American families. 1 in 3 Navajo homes don't have a tap or toilet. We can fix that.

My writing playlist is so long 😅 I add anything that I love and has even one line I can pretend fits. But lately I've been listening to Kizuna no Kiseki from Demon Slayer on repeat, so we'll go with that~

Do the talking glasses count for Emily? 😅
But uh, most the characters always keep their crosslinks on them--which are like phones.
And then they carry weapons in devices called moon pockets, so Emily never has to worry about being without her hammer~

This is a flaw in the way capitalists have designed the modern economy, not in us.
"Device hoarding" is GOOD for the environment and for our individual wallets.
"Devices" used to be made to last 10+ years—or lifetimes!
Sewing machines from the 1890s and typewriters from the 1910s still work!

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Feel free to come back to this one if you're busy today (or claim this is a work thing and use it to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes—I'm not judging!)
Fan-cast 1 character (or more) from your story. Doesn't have to be a modern celeb!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Writing is hard work.
Writers should be able to make a living even if they don't have a full time staff position.
Authors especially should be able to make a living off their books they've sweat and toiled for.
All of this shows further why our capitalist system is unsustainable and unjust.

I'd say of the crew, Emily and Mark probably enjoy the outdoors most; Emily loves swimming in lakes and the ocean, while Mark would love a good nature trail.
As far as survival skills, Farish and Koujaku would be best there, and they both enjoy the outdoors in their own way~
