BTS: HOW WE SURVIVE
For HWS I had to really dig deep to channel someone like Marianne. My biggest influence? The political intrigue in Mass Effect. ๐ If you liked Marianne, itโs very much thanks to what ME1-ME3 taught me.

27.01.2026 04:45 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I accidentally wrote a sapphic short story over the holidays. Ooops!
Itโs sweet, full of yearning, and sets up for The Wishing Well. It also has a trans FMC. ๐ฅฐ
And it can be yours for free if you sign up to my newsletter. Or can pre-order it:

Two nude women, one white and one brown, kissing on a bed whilst having sex. The white woman lies behind the brown woman, one hand grabbing her behind.
The NSFW art I commissioned for Safi x Nai in THE WISHING WELL. Someone, please send help. ๐ซ ๐ฅต

6. Ask for a payment plan. Som artists will let you pay off using a plan.
7. Look in forums for artist swapping favours ie art for text or editing etc
8. Build community irl too. I realised my coworker is an artist and am going to commission them for a much better price. 3/3
#writingcommunity
YCH Art is like a pre-made where the artist adjusts it to be your characters in the image. You can get these rly cheap. For a couple piece I usually pay $250-300. YCH? $28. BAM!
4. Use public domain images!
pdimagearchive.org
5. Affinity is now free, use your PDIs and make your own art. 2/3
Oh, so I see some authors use the excuse that that canโt afford art. Well, Iโm here with a few suggestions that might help:
1. Save up every penny you can. This isnโt attainable for everyone, I know.
2. Look for artists just starting out with lower prices (plenty around!)
3. Look for YCH art! 1/3
Thank you for this. It actually meant a lot reading this. ๐ซถ๐พ๐ฅน๐

Iโm LM or Elm, and Iโm a trans author who writes sapphic romance & really queer zombie post-apocalypse.
Right now Iโm working on my sapphic romance. I played Bloom & Rage and it left me with a lot of unresolved feelings. So here we are. I also have an unhealthy amount of art for it as well
Thatโs not where I was going with thisโฆ. ๐

How will it know these answers though? Unless theyโre stated specifically, I mean. Because some of those things arenโt always explicitly written on the page. Like motives for example.

So if you ever read my characters with broken families and mothers who hate themโฆthatโs just me working through my own grief.

That means a lot because they take me at least 5-7 days to make.
Abso-fucken-lutely not.
I have my narrators and theyโre awesome. Jake wouldnโt be Jake without Nathaniel and Liv wouldnโt be Liv without Savy. There are nuances in those characters a machine will never be able to reflect because ai has no fucking soul or heart. & thatโs what my books are all about.
โHer waist curved into generous hips, her thighs thick and steady, her belly plush under the fabric. She was plus-size, notย Instagramย curvy. These curves were full and real. Her thighs had brushed together her whole life. Her belly rose when she laughed and breathed.โ

Thank you so much!
Itโs nice that itโs finally out in the world. ๐ฅฐ๐ซถ๐พ
Hahah right? Or at least about the zombies so he could prepare better. ๐

No, itโs 3 years of writing, 1 year of revisions, 12 different ppl raging from dev editor to sensitivity readers to beta readers, my editor combing through it. And before then? 13 years of writing fanfics and creating art.
Happy Release week To HOW WE SURVIVE. ๐ฅณCreated solely by humans.
This is the perfect time to grab book 1 of my NA contemporary fantasy romance trilogy for yourself or a friend โ๏ธ (or read in KU!)

10.12.2025 13:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

No, but thank you so much. Absolutely makes my day hearing that. ๐ฅน๐๐ซถ๐พ
Fuck ai. But also?
People who donโt read diversely because they โcanโt relateโ to brown, Black or queer characters.
