📚 #WritingLifeMonthly I actually spent all day thinking about this and I think this song sums up both Sasha and Beatrix pretty well.

Also I have the amazing and wonderful @spiritlullaby.bsky.social doing the cover and trust me it's going to be utterly GORGEOUS and I'm going to eat it with delight.

Choosing to do lots of this myself has been time consuming, yes, but I also feel like I've learned a lot of new skills in the process and that's been very worthwhile. I hope to continue to keep learning so that in future my next books will be quicker to set up once they're written as well.

#WritingLifeMonthly

I like and hate these areas in different ways and to different extends depending on the weather, phase of the moon, my hyperfixations, and how much of a deadline I have.

I think I'd be Beatrix. She's a feisty girl with not only a strong desire to learn but also lots she needs to learn about. I think she'd be fun to experience.

#WritingLifeMonthly

Recency bias has me thinking a lot about Earthlings by Sayaka Murata (quite the incredible ride to say the least.) but overall my thoughts are almost always with Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky because that book owns my soul.

📚 #WritingLifeMonthly October Day 02 📚
I've been updating my bookshelf recently, shifting from digital to physical copies. My new copy of @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social The Night Circus. This book is one I spend a lot of time daydreaming about. Yours?

Stardust of Morgrad is back from being edited! Thanks to the amazing @willowtalksbooks.bsky.social the book is now filled with feedback and ready for my final edits and then... the real scary stuff!

Time to start scouting a cover artist and making some maps!

#writesky #booksky

A blue image with a galaxy background and two crow skulls with red eyes in the top left and right corners. Gold text in the centre reads: Edits are done! Now the real countdown begins! Under the text is a chibi of a boy in a green coat with black hair and a pink flower in his hair. The bottom corner text is orange and reads "Stardust of Morgrad"

Whilst book 1 is being edited, I have been avidly chipping away at the start of book 2! Set in the coastal city of Kiitagrad, we follow the adventures of poor Larya, who just wanted to be an artist not a guard captain...
