Ren (he/him)

YALL ‼️ i have officially finished the outline for book 2 !! draft 1 begins TOMORROW 🙌🙌 #amwriting #fantasywriters #queerwriters

i think i MIGHT have found a way to keep my favorite POV in the sequel to SW yall 🙌🙌 even my CP was like "where's [redacted]'s POV" when she read the outline LMAO im glad im not the only one who loves him 💘 #writingcommunity #skywriters

grief is so weird bc you wouldn't think abt someone for months and then on a random saturday afternoon it all just comes back

thank you for the offer! i just might take you up on that :)

HOWEVER on the bright side ✨ i am almost done with said outline. i just have 3 chapters to fill in, and then imma recheck for flow with the plot/subplots, and i can move onto the last stage of the outline 🫡 (ie the little shit, like estimating wc, timelines, etcc) #skywriters #writesky

me: the sequel to SW will be so much shorter!
also me: *has a 22-page outline, and said outline isn't even done yet*

(for context the outline for SW was 17 pages when i finished it ☠️)

#amwriting #writingcommunity

I didn’t post about 4th of July yesterday because America is under threat.

The GOP is building literal concentration camps, stripping civil rights, and conducting a fresh holocaust on American soil.

And many of my fellow Americans not only let it happen but gleefully support it.

#NoGOP #NoMAGA

I can’t imagine celebrating a day when people are actively losing their freedom. I’ll be sitting this one out.

im honestly so sad abt the pov i had to scrap but it made sense for the plot 😔 #amwriting #writingcommunity #skywriters

the outline for book 2 will be the death of me yall 🫠 just had to scrap an entire pov, redo all of the structure, and now i have to figure out plot points for TWELVE chapters all over again 😭😭 i just gotta keep reminding myself its better than scrapping an actual written draft but GOD

Dante leaned back in his chair. “I do want to apologize. I was convinced you were working with Derek Lachlan, but you’re proved me wrong. There are two things you’ll need to do if you wish to [REDACTED]."

little late to this, but thank you for the tag Ange! 💘

Remember pride moth is a mindset, not a month.

#QueerPrompts Fashionably late to the last queer prompts post for June, but thank you for hosting this @cjaralore.bsky.social it’s always such a blast to partake in the queer prompts challenge on here & looking forward to tuning in again next month

beta reader emails for SW just got sent out! so if you've responded to the form, check your inbox! (you can still sign up, im just getting a head start on getting everything sent lol.)

Idk if anyone’s read only this beautiful moment but god I read half of the book last night and I already cried twice 😭 such a beautiful story can’t wait to keep reading today

#QueerPrompts Derek has always looked up to his older sister, Lola. She’s everything that he wanted to be growing up, and throughout the series we’ll definitely be seeing him follow in her footsteps 😉

#QueerPrompts In SW, Derek struggles with a lot of grief from his family’s death and frequently has flashbacks to things his family told him. I like to think of them as the little angels on his shoulders giving him guidance 🤍

#LGBTQWriteAThon Line share - last line

My last line is actually a spoiler but here’s an excerpt from the last page

#LGBTQWriteAThon this week was solid! I definitely spent a lot of time just trying to relax and focus on doing something productive 24/7. I wish I would’ve had more fun at pride, but honestly I probably shouldn’t have been surprised 🥲 (I get over stimulated very easily)

Last day to sign up if you haven’t already!! Still need one more beta for SW <3 #writingcommunity #skywriters #betareaders

anyways if you were at cincy pride it was an amazing event that really healed a part of me that I can’t explain. (Ironic for a writer, I know) heers to ren making it through a full pride event in 2026

the expectations: I’m so excited for my first pride! I’m going to buy so much stuff and meet so many new people!!

the reality: the heat took me out and we had to leave an hour early bc I was dizzy and anxious

#pride #lgbt #queerwriters

now THIS is a premise

#LGBTQWriteAThon newbie werewolf and omega try to kill douchey alpha dude. newbie werewolf and omega crush on each other. oh and death. lots of that.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Bad characters/antags

The main villian in SW is Dante, who is an tyrannical alpha that derek enlists ronan's help with taking down. Dante is charming, but don't let that fool you. His persona was actually one of my favorite things to write in the book, but it may start to slip...

#QueerPrompts Marriage or unions in your story -

The only marriage in SW is between Derek's older brother, Matt and his husband Adrien. Fun fact: Matt and Adrien actually got married shortly after gay marriage was legalized in France in 2013.

i think its so wild in the year of 2025 as a big book content creator to not have a single rec for a queer romantsy book when asked by one of your followers... like what 😭 during pride month too?? (this is not abt anyone on here. just need to vent cuz GOD.)
