happy imbolc, everyone /|\

springtime & the return of warmth and light are coming — and soon — no matter how difficult it may be to see in this moment ♡

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

brb I’m hibernating for the winter

I love it when I write 13,000 words in a fugue state and suddenly it’s evening #amwriting

saying this out loud is making me giggle 😂😂

ooh, these are so cool! so many things you could do with them…

(someone stop me from starting another wip 😂)

the little ghostie bag!!

exactly!

the fun thing about cooking is I can do whatever I want. one time I boiled lasagna noodles in fruit juice.

I’m really, really excited to do this edit!! the story is fine as it is, but it’s not the best I can do, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out 😊
#amediting !

in all seriousness though, I got very helpful feedback from some wonderful agents who took time out of their days to personalize rejections, and pointed out some things that really resonated with me — problems I had with the manuscript but struggled to identify on my own

ahaha… who would decide to do a complete developmental edit *after* querying for months and having materials out with multiple agents… no, certainly not me 😅 #amquerying (or am I?) #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

this world is decay—
like autumn and
spring

this world is decay—
perhaps like rot, but mostly
like mushrooms; like compost
to be buried in the fallow earth,
unseen in growth and forgotten in harvest,
its thankless task yet vital
to grow our fruits and hopes and dreams,
to feed the oak of knowledge and tire swings.

the river has roots by amal el-mohtar (specifically the audiobook, what gorgeous production with the music!) is almost certainly going to be my favorite read of the year. entirely stunned at how beautiful and masterful the story is. 1000/10, please go listen to it immediately #booksky #writesky

idk I read something once along the lines of “vaccines are the closest humans will ever get to consuming the bodies of their enemies to absorb their power” and that just stuck with me

like fuck yea lemme go get this Potion of Immunity from the mage behind the counter at cvs

really don’t get people who don’t do this, if they’re able to. vaccines are so fucking cool?? like yea I’ll take some free immune-system superpowers.

just let your pharmacist stab you a little, people. seriously.

I am young and in good health and I have gotten, literally, every single vaccine that I am allowed to get (special thanks to my pharmacist for finding my complete vaccination hx and special ordering the one booster I was missing)

#writingcommunity please conduct your own experiment and contribute the data to this very important study — for science!

I ate a toaster oven s’more and I think it’s making my writing better… must repeat experiment for additional data #amwriting #writing #writesky

congrats!!! 🎉🎉

soup!!

ooh yeah, idk how that would work but impacted breathing would be a good one… or maybe just Too Much Blood Clotting?

I had a thought about increased insulin response — I cast low blood sugar! 😂

a character in my new wip is a witch who only knows medical spells, so I’ve been reading a lot of medical articles trying to come up with very specialized spells that she might use in ways they were not intended for…

animal control: what the hell is that thing?!

me, crouched on the ground shoveling snow into my mouth: 🙂

it kinda makes me feel like an anime protagonist? hard to explain why but it’s a vibe and it’s sooo comfy

every winter I get to rediscover how much I love wearing my big wool coat 😊

hell yea!

😊

I’ve never thought about what my manuscript might smell like before… maybe petrichor, parchment and wild mint?

I think my new wip’s candle would be called “sea salt and shenanigans” but idk what that would smell like 😂😂
