A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 18/09/2026It's nice to be reading a book that's not my own for the first time in months. Like listening to yourself speak, reading your own writing can get very grating after a while. I'm enjoying The Dragon Republic so far. Hopefully I continue to do so, because Poppy War let me down. #BookSky #WriteSky 090
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 16/09/2026Here's something a little exciting. I have two tickets to give away for the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival and entering couldn't be easier. All you need to do is reply to this post with your FAVOURITE BOOK and you're in for a chance to win. #BookSky #WriteSky 491

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 01/09/2026I hope you northerners enjoy the cold, we Aussies just have months of sweltering heat to look forward to. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts 0222
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 01/09/2026Even if this wasn't bullshit, the absolute nerve to suggest using ai and think that's something any indie author would fuck with is insane. I'm not going to pay you so you can churn out slop based on my work while also destroying the planet. I gain nothing from that. Fuck off. 020
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 17/08/2026I don't have a pet anymore, so here's my grandparents' dog This was a few years ago, so she's quite a bit older these days 180
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 17/08/2026There are things that live in the dark. Many are to be feared, but some might be a friend. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts 1211
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 07/08/2026Gonna go re listen to the Bo Burnham song now #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts 0224
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 07/08/2026That is a wrap on Draft 1 of As Far as Devotion Goes. Now the real work begins. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity 121
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 31/07/2026Somebody bought my book? That can happen? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity 040
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 31/07/2026To those going to the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival this year. I will be in attendance as an author, with two books on offer. Figured I should probably post my pre order form here in case anyone else going was interested to check some stuff out before the day. beventi.co/orderform/ts... 011
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 23/07/2026Tried drawing one of the characters from the previews, but I feel like I just wound up making emo Hatsune Miku? 000
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 21/07/2026Feeling pretty good about this fight scene. It's definitely a different vibe to the confrontation with Artorius in book one. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity 050

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 14/07/2026"Just as you have your duties to the Queen, I have duties to the dead." 'DEFINED BY DAMNATION' is a dark fantasy story about a kingdom on the brink and those with the courage to save it, whether it's best for them or not. #BluePit #📖 #A #F #D #R #P #Q 1113
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 13/07/2026Here is a story about love, the many forms it can take, and the point at which it is simply not good enough. This is 'AS FAR AS DEVOTION GOES' Featuring: - Doomed romance - Cosmic prophecies - Certain doom - Character-driven story - Zombie dragons and very much more! #BluePit #📖 #A #F #D #R #W 0254
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 12/07/2026Taking it back to 2018, Venom by Donny Cates is the first piece of media which really made me consider the artists behind the stories I enjoyed. It gave me the aspiration I still hold today, the dream that I might one day tell a story that people will enjoy, much like I did years ago. #BluePitHype 081
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 10/07/2026Following the Gilded Rain which fell upon Gottheil, a number of people heralding from that land have begun to exhibit the ability to inflict change upon the world in accordance with their own will. We must monitor the forms of this new power with extreme care and caution. Art by: locky001.carrd.co 000
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 09/07/2026I present: my wall of backup copies (all of which I've also uploaded to a safe place online). 010
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 09/07/2026Hey look! We've got yesterday's prompt in here as well! 060
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 09/07/2026No matter the occasion or needs, Annat'thandir refuses to dress himself in anything that is not at least 75% black. #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt 1121
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 08/07/2026Not my favourite series of pitch images, but it's what I got. You can read previews for both this book and its sequel or go ahead and find a copy if it interests you on my website: ajandersonauthor.com 040
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 08/07/2026Frankly, I would prefer a blizzard to another disgustingly humid summer. 0130
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 07/07/2026I'd have to give this to the chapter where Andula's band first encounters the zombie dragon that has been haunting Cendela's fields. I've remained proud of the fight throughout the months since I wrote it, as well as the first proper description of the creature here: 120
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 07/07/2026Should all go as planned, the only mercy evil shall find is a quick and unexpected death. 0200
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 26/06/2026My working focus has returned to As Far as Devotion Goes, and while it's still a work in progress I can really only ask that you check out the preview on my website (link in bio) and maybe give its predecessor a look as well. 031
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 25/06/2026There's something to be said about a city which boasts its prison as its most impressive piece of architecture. 0141
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 24/06/2026Finished the first draft yesterday, so here's a snippet from the anthology story I've been working on 3332
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 17/06/2026MY BOY! Thanks to @bluesunfish.bsky.social's incredible work, Oedon looks more presentable than ever before! 031
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 06/06/2026As Far as Devotion Goes has multiple POV characters, three of which are queer, though I will preface that is not what their stories are about. 021
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 21/05/2026From a new project I'm working on alongside the main book #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts 0172
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 21/05/2026Releasing August of this year is: AS FAR AS DEVOTION GOES A story of love, freedom, and dragons, it continues The Doomsday Mosaic in a new land with a new cast of characters, all of whom struggle with the nature of affection and its bindings, as well as the destined return of Cendela's dragon gods. 382
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 19/05/2026Dark Souls II is over! and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I expected, even if it lacks a lot of what makes the other games special. Book 2 is now at 102166 words (but honestly I stopped counting deaths with this one and just brunt forced my way to the end.) 010
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 18/05/2026Authors, post the last line of dialogue before they smooch. (The line was too long to copy and paste so I had to screenshot) 110
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 16/05/2026#MemeMay 16 It being at 1:15 AM just makes it wilder to be honest... 0120
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 14/05/2026Decided to sketch two characters who should appear in a project releasing later this year. Wren and Elia'vanthel are members of the Order of the Stillborn, a death studying collective who seek to gain power through connection to the afterlife dream. #Sketch #OC 040
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 14/05/2026#Mememay 14 First sketch I've done for Echidna, so I kept her a bit veiled 0150
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 13/05/2026#Mememay 13 Oedon would get a good laugh out of this one purely because of how closely it relates to the way he was treated in his youth. 070
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 11/05/2026That's all for Dark Souls Remastered, bringing me up to 97,135 words from roughly 43 deaths. For the most part, I enjoyed replaying this one, even though the cracks have really started to appear after so many years. It was especially interesting to confront the lore with new eyes. 010
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 10/05/2026#Mememay 9 My attempt at Marigold in 60 seconds. I had to keep restarting because I'd start the timer and then realise I didn't know what I was going to draw 1110
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 08/05/2026Sketched out Jeska Cassovar, one of the protagonists from this other project of mine. She's somebody who's really thrown through the ringer, emerging with a new resolve that will reshape her whole world. #oc #sketch 070
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 06/05/2026Another sketch of Sister Ulnar + some additions to the old one. She is a member of a race that developed in a forest of great depth and darkness, leading to a people who are largely blind and possess some bioluminescent traits. #OC #sketch 020
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 04/05/2026Decided to sketch one of the characters from a side project. She's a hunter working for the Church of the Gilded Structure, a member of their 'dorsal' who is sent to deal with their enemies under the cover of night. #oc 020
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 01/05/2026#AprilAdventure 30 I've only got one book released so far: DEFINED BY DAMNATION, with it's sequel releasing later this year under the title AS FAR AS DEVOTION GOES. I have previews for both on my website, which you can get to through my bio, and there are also links to purchasing the first. 011
A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 29/04/2026Pain of the body is easily mended, especially by one so powerful as Raph. Pain of the mind is far trickier to fix, no matter how experienced one becomes with it. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts 0160
![Rather than using one's own inner power to access exterior change, goreweaving constitutes utilising one's enchanted blood to directly effect change. Essentially, it cuts out the middle man and allows access to a far more powerful form of magic, although this direct connection also leaves one open to inflicting unwanted change, if their emotions and subconscious are not kept carefully in check.
[FOR THIS REASON GOREWEAVING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kgawgr24s3ybeuc775vltvo2/bafkreia32xdj66w2qftgwo7skfqf53tatcf2fhspg767qzqtgtlxvawzkm)
