i'm having so much fun i'm having sooooo much fun. don't let ANYONE tell you not to start a fun little side project!! IT'S ENRICHMENT!!!
Isabella turned to me as soon as the door shut, eyebrows already hitched. “Well?” 
“…Well what?” 
“Don’t well what me.” She cracked the tab on her beer and brought it to her lips, watching me over the rim. “He’s a total smokeshow, right?” 
I closed my eyes, bringing my fingers to my temple. “Isabella. You know I love you—” 
“Okay, evasive.” 
“—and you’re like, the wind beneath my wings or whatever—” 
“Don’t start that shit.” 
“—but did you seriously just ask me if I think your ex-boyfriend is a total smokeshow?” 
She let out a wistful sigh through her nose, staring into the middle distance. “Hottest guy I’ve ever dated. Hands down.” 
As her boyfriend I probably should’ve been offended by that, but it was basically an objective statement. Noah looked like he’d been genetically engineered to drop panties. He looked like his panty dropping abilities had become so powerful the project had been shut down by the government and he’d escaped in a lab explosion. 
“He’s like a seven,” I said.

NOW we’re getting to the GOOD writing advice
SCREEEN SHOT!

this is in part why I don't understand "never think of the reader when writing" folks, thinking about your reader isn't automatically kowtowing, sometimes it's saying "I will ruin you"

yeah im thinkin about the reader. thinkin about pummeling his ass c

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?
Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

a skill that would be really useful for me to learn is how to write a little short story or novella when i come up with a fun romance dynamic instead of plotting an entire goddamned novel

Thanks for this! The Traitor & the Wretch, an illustrated fantasy romance about two doomed henchmen is available from libraries and on Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... You can also get DRM-free ebook versions directly from the Bonedust Press shop: bonedustpress.com/shop
An infographic for The Traitor & The Wretch (cover art by Amy Phillips) written by Jasmine Walls and illustrated by Rowan MacColl.

It reads: Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending.

On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead.

This guy (the wretch) helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)

This guy (the traitor) tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)

Enemies-to-Lovers 

Mutated cave creatures! Undead horrors! Endless pitch black caves! Somehow, it's a romance!

not even a stylistic thing but i think in terms of my romance writing it might be Love, Hate and Clickbait by Liz Bowery. really changed how i looked at romance and i what i was "allowed" to do with the characters.

#SundaySnips i love it when my boys are just hanging out...
4ALark: If you fell in love with someone and got married and lived with them for nine years and then found out they were on America’s Most Wanted, would you turn them in? 
Coppertype: …Is this happening to you right now?
4ALark: Asking for a friend. 
Coppertype: Am I American in this scenario? Or would I have to deal with extradition issues? 
4ALark: THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION???
Coppertype: Sorry, sorry. Don’t know what came over me. What I meant to ask was, how sexy is my felon husband, scale one to ten? 
4ALark: Better. Hang on, let me check. 
4ALark: Maybe a six?
Coppertype: How the hell were you checking that? Is he in the room with you?

his wife! (she's alive, they're just divorced) and his feelings about it are veeery complicated. malcolm's gay, and he often wonders if he ever would've admitted it (to himself or anyone) had she not found out. he both longs for his old life and knows it couldn't make him happy anymore.

First up, we have @riotbones.bsky.social, our cover artist!! You've seen their cover art for this book, but take a gander at their skill with detail and composition. 🤩 (And they've got a gorgeous graphic novel, Strange Cases, coming out soon!!) Check out more of their work: www.riotbones.com
Riotbone's avatar, a skeletal canine wearing a spiked biker jacket and smoking a cigarette with bright red smoke streaking from the end. Art by Riotbones.An illustrated poster for Wuthering Heights showing the two main characters embracing against the backdrop of a stormy green sky. The ground and bare trees of the moors seem to grasp at the couple, intertwining with their details. Art by Riotbones.An illustration showing two characters int he foreground, both bloddied, and one almost too shadowed to see. A bright star is superimposed over the eye of one figure, taking center stage in the illustration, and in the background is a bare, white tree, roots and branches thick and expanding. A dark dragon curls around the tree, it's tail winding around the throats of the two figures. Art by Riotbones.An illustrated poster for Phantom of the Opera, an image of the phantom looms over the lead lady, who is standing in front of a large arched, and broken mirror, seeming to stand on a blossoming rose held up by a hand in the foreground, her hair flowing and one hand raised in a beckoning gesture. Below here and filling an intricately detailed music hall is a crowed of masked, cheering audience members. Art by Riotbones.

the haunting
an illustration of jude from the graphic novel 'strange cases' in a cathedral-like setting, holding scales with lit candles, as though it was a candelabra. the smoke from the candles swirl around him, leading to a looming statue of his mother holding a sword. her sculpted visage is partially weathered and damaged, exposing the bones that lay underneath the statue. surrounding him are more statues, this time of saints, similarly weathered, with their bones partially exposed.

LRP: requesting books from your local bookstore is a HUGE help to indie authors and small publishers! Sure, margins are way slimmer than if people order directly off the Bonedust Press website, but it gives us the potential for so much more reach. Especially if it ends up on a bookstore shelf!

shared this snippet before but uhhhhh. he will regret this not only immediately but for the rest of the book
Good Lord, but he was stunning. There was something so intimate about the way he spoke to the camera, something enticingly domestic, like they were chatting across the breakfast table with legs tangled up underneath. Malcolm couldn’t shake the sensation that he might easily reach out, brush a stray hair from the young man’s forehead, skate a finger over his cheek.
“Oh, little darling,” he muttered aloud to himself, a ring of helplessness in his voice. “What in the hell are you doing here?” 
Onscreen, Lark’s eyes startled wide and flashed to his webcam, creating a quick, hot jolt of false eye contact. A grin spread molasses-slow over his face, disbelieving and almost goofy in its broadness, his eyes squinting and nose adorably crinkling up. Malcolm felt like butter dropped in a warm pan, his throat constricting, the long-rusted gears of puppy love giving a horrible gritty squeal in his chest. 
“Oi!” Lark said. “You’re the one that clicked on me, mate. What in the hell are you doing here?” 
Malcolm’s heart stopped. 
He went still as a prey animal. Stared at the screen. Blinked hard and fast, as though to rouse himself from a nightmare. 
“Oh, God,” he creaked out, horrified. “Can you hear me?” 
Lark brought his fingers, half concealed in the sleeve of his jumper, to his lips. There was smothered laughter behind his voice, but no cruelty; it was soft, gentle. “Yes, pet, your mic is on. First-timers get ten free minutes of audio—now boys, don’t make fun—he’s new—"
