Current Mood: Panicking about the #3day30k challenge that A K Mulford is putting on this weekend. Since it’s not a 3 day weekend for me, I’m trying to do 20k in 2 days instead.

Wish me luck and I’ll be updating as I slowly loose my mind this weekend 🤣

Was gonna post this on one another app, but it kept asking me let them use my info for ads. Over and over and over. So F that.

They are small and thin, help me choose how to use them?

A: One for each of the 3 MC
B: One for plotting, one for characters, and one for… ?
C: some secret third idea?

We need more disabled journalists & writers. We bring a unique perspective that is needed in these turbulent times.

Found a new quote that I’m loving! I think I get stuck with the “perfect” more often than I should. What quote have you been really loving recently?

I’m loving this book! Does anyone have an ebook or print version they wouldn’t mind using to help me get a quote right? #booksky #akmulford #queerbooks #ownvoices

Apparently my adhd has decided that staying up and rough sketching out the picture book I wrote about a little polyam family is the best way to spend 11:11 this find February night 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 #polyam #picturebook #ownvoices #booksky

I’m really enjoying this book so far. First non-audio book for me in a while and I’m glad that the (digital) printed word can still bring me joy. This brings me a whole lot of hope. #booksky #polyamory #erinmcrae

Anyone have a character study writing prompt they love to use? I’m stuck with my story and so wanted to see if this might help jump start my writing/inspiration. #booksky #authorsky #cozyfantasy

Ohhh -adds to TBR-
I am not comfortable with how few of you have read Queen and Conqueror by @isabelleolmo.bsky.social. Let’s do something about it.

Imagine Game of Thrones, but replace all of the leading figures with powerful women of color.

Sold? Good, don’t be a silly goose. Buy it: bookshop.org/a/87137/9798...

Yall this looks cute!! Once my Audible creator hits I might pick it up!
*clears throat*

Buy my book! It's really fucking good!

It has enemies to lovers, cozy vibes, and a lot of bad people getting their asses whooped by karma.

*waves arms wildly*

There's also a happy ending, and fuck if we don't need more of that in our lives right now.
Soul Guardian is finally out on Kindle Unlimited and Audible! 📚 🎧

If you like cozy fantasy, demons, werewolves, loyal hellhounds,

So, I thought of a tentative title today while trying to nap, lol. Not sure if you’re supposed to share or hide titles due to copyright concerns? Help a newbie out?

This is absolutely fucking powerful. TW for neglect and child abuse fyi
If you read ONE STORY today make it this. Sage wrote it after I challenged her to write something which starts with the line:

"I’m not allowed to tell this story."

And boy, did she deliver.

EA Noble is an unbelievable writer and a Black woman fighting for her place in the industry. If you have $7 you can spare, go pre-order her r-release of When Blood Meets Earth! A Fae, anti-colonial fantasy! Help this be a massive success!

So I saw @jaduncan.bsky.social do this, but cant find it

3 Things about my WIP

1) It’s set during the 100 year anniversary of the the Tulsa Race Massacre
2) The three main characters each have a playlist in Spotify (I can share if you ask, lol)
4) My fam is drawing my MCs and I’m excited

I have so many ideas and (for once) some motivation to write… do I have the time and spoons when I have the first two?

Never. 🤦🏻‍♀️
