A work in progress of a digital painting depicting Mel Medarda, she’s surrounded by a bright red background, while her figure itself is all in cobalt blue hues.

WIP! Procreate dropped a bunch of new brushes and this is me trying them out. So far I’ve used… 3 brushes *sigh*

When the coffee shop thinks I want an iced coffee just because it's over 90F I dont believe in weakness

The new ideas are lesbian cult horror and lesbian mermaid with horror elements

I think my books will be a duology as opposed to a trilogy like originally thought, which means I will need to start a different book sooner then expected. Still not for years but that means I need to start being insane about a new idea now

The epic highs and lows of #wipwednesday

Alvin, Saul and Emmanuel have thematic meaning.
James, Joseph, Arlo were chosen to fit the characters possible backgrounds without pinning it down too specifically.
Hayden just sounded like a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶r̶ name to me.
Kallan and Kirk were because I'd given too many characters A names so I switched to K.

Agent Sojac's first name is Tyger because she was born with those orange stripes in her hair and her mother is a big William Blake fan.

"She is lying" in parantheses

Editing notes continued

My main characters are Odylline and Elisabeta, Ode and Elli for short. Elisabeta seemed to me a quintessential vampire name. Odylline is based off a random bridal studio name that I loved the sound of; in universe, it means "Ode to life"

Evalyn Trostworth. No real inspiration behind the first name but I believe the last was inspired from Critical Roll. It's been a long while since I made her.

Lila- I love the name.
Oscar- favorite grandpa’s name.
Kit- Inside joke between some friends and I.
Miguel- cousin’s name.
Tabitha- I like it because she’s also called Tabby.
Luna- My grandmother’s maiden name.

Writers — what is your main character's first name and why? Curious how other people name them

Editing ... love my girl so much 🥺 she is a terrible person

art of my FMC Odylline that I commissioned from
@sugashook.bsky.social !!! Ode is a human reaching for the power and immortality of vampires and the moon 🌑 She is a borderline evil, horrifically traumatized, morally grey woman and she means the world to me 🦇🩸

art of my FMC Elisabeta that I commissioned from @sugashook.bsky.social!!! I love the idea of a vampire representing the sun, and it's at once funny and meaningful for me ☀️Elli is burningly powerful, at the center of her world, and I love her dearly 🦇🩸

Gif from Mulan. One of the woman doing Mulan's makeover sings "this is what you give me to work with" when seeing Mulan is a mess

Me editing my fic: good enough! *post*
Me editing my book:

My Mom asked when my book was getting here - referring to when my editing draft will be printed and ready. But we happened to be sitting in a bookstore so I thought she was jokingly asking "when will your book be in this store" so I started going into my editing process

Ah yes, my main trio: guy who sucks and doesn't realize it; girl who sucks and knows it; girl who sucks SO BAD but you get it really you would be worse in her position.

Traits I say my cat Orpheus gets from me:
- Sheds. A lot.
- Long dark hair (related)
- Spends most of his time sleeping and laying down, or looking for a new, interesting spot to sleep or lie down
- Very affectionate but only when he wants it, and is very particular about how people touch him

I love writing characters who are freaks. All of the other humans in my book are in a horror movie, while my FMC is in that scene from Marie Antoinette where they're trying on clothes and eating pastries. EXACT same circumstances, she's just chilling

Just finished the first draft of my dark f/f novel ... 84000 words and I think the second draft is gonna be longer because I kept having fresh ideas partway in 😂 and now the real work begins #writerslife #writingcommunity #newauthor

Relationship dynamic: so corrosively toxic that they have to stay together to quarantine them from everyone else

Can't edit the post, so adding here that I commissioned these from @sugashook.bsky.social, who's an absolute angel ❤️
