A piece of free advice to other writers, nothing -- NOTHING -- is less appealing or less beneficial to your career than posting your self-pitying thoughts in public.

I am on the last leg of chapter 1 of my Neon Nobles serial and though I’m nervous for the end result, I’m excited to just say I Did It ✨

A black background sales promo titled Blood and Stars, 40% off, with a logo of a ringed four-pointed star behind it. Beneath are three covers for Vaela Denarr & Micah Iannandrea's books On Wings of Fallen Stars, They Who Brought the Storm, and The Gift of Blood. All three covers show muscular women in warm colours, the script gilded and austere. In two of the covers, the women are horned and have dragon wings, and in the third a tattooed Asian woman is facing a sharp-toothed man, his eyes hidden by a tipped hat as shadowy hands reach out for her.

The ✨BLOOD AND STARS PRIDE SALE✨ is live!

With polyamorous lesbian dragons, kickboxing lesbian vampires, touch-starved companions, romantic rivals, cannibalism, darkness, found families and cuddling, we have it all!

Buy two, get one free!

Basile is tired of his mortal lovers dying on him so he's going back to France. He's brooding and French and wants no part of the American Civil War. He just wants to be alone.

And then his past mortal lover Emil shows up and asks him to support the Union cause...

okay hivemind, so if you have any suggestions for eloquently written lesbian smut that would be great

pride month is extra work as a queer indie creator trying to ✨ market ✨ but I don’t think this should be allowed. from now on the straights should have to do it for us.

(seriously though pls support your queer creators & friends this & every month. we are so super tired)

started working on a fun spicy project that i'd been planning since EW release (with none other than my favorite bnuuy)
it's very big and will take me some time to finish, but i'm already sharing delicious WIPs➡️ patreon.com/posts/129463438 (hell yeah more ovi)

Working on my Neon Nobles serial (god is dead and the angels and demons are running amuck in New Babylon) and I’m so mad how much work even a short story is 😭

#writing #amwriting

Hey #WriterSky & #WritingCommunity - A ? for you. My wife's wanting to learn how to take an idea into an outline and then a story. I don't have time to teach her & all my books already expect a certain level of knowledge on the subject. So what books are out there now for true beginning writers?

I gave myself a week to write a chapter of my upcoming serial and hahahaha what I fool I am #writing

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

My heartfelt suggestion for y'all today is staying offline for a few hours and doing something that brings you calm or joy. It was a long week, and it's not healthy to be constantly immersed in doomscrolling. Step away from the bullshit and replenish.

It Happened One Light by gabrielhargravewrites A funny, spicy novella about love, the afterlife, and finding what we need where we least expect it.

The reaper novella is finally up on Itch!

I know I've been pretty absent on social media lately (and I'll post about why someday soon), but I'm popping in to say that there's a way to read the book I published last year without using the river website.

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

This goes for writing as well!

Are people still doing “tweet threads” but on here??? If so, where they are hiding 👀

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

Let’s get some trans joy going, here is an updated version of my Trans Writers & Authors starter pack!

The folks in here are either moots and/or i’ve read & enjoyed their work.

Whether you need some escapism or a dose of revolutionary optimism, there’s something in here for everyone.

Are there any trans artists who have made a piece they’re particularly proud of lately that they’d like to share? 🥺 👉👈

Mayhe it would make someone happy to scroll through and see a bunch in a row

A stone well sits among an overgrown thicket of leaves and flowers at night. A mermaid lounges inside and considers you with golden, unimpressed eyes.

You trek down an overgrown path, shrouded in shadow and chrosued by crickets, until finally you encounter the wishing well. You throw in a gold coin. Minutes pass. A pair of golden eyes glitter in the dark, and a mermaid appears. She offers to grant your wish... Do you trust her?
