#FromPetToTatari #ClashofCritters Poofy is a very stern rabbit that demands her personal space be left alone. Curling into a loaf, her eyes always with a cold, judging gaze. One thump of her back legs causes a swirl of freezing air to jet out, pushing others away. She’s so fluffy. I just wanna pet
Young Jersey wooly rabbit with an angry stare. This is an old photo of her before I got her, but this is the perfect face she always has. I love her little angry face

While HP is unfortunately trending, I put the 1st book of my fantasy series out there & suggest people support #indie #queer #authors instead. It’s an epic fantasy adventure about my life recovering from abuse. It features an MC with DID! ALL proceeds for now will support LGBTQ people in protest!

I hate when people gang on stories or try to cancel them because they don’t fit their idea of what narratives should be or the story doesn’t fit in a neat black and white box. Stories should be nuanced, should be gray and spark conversations. Some life stories are messy, and that’s OK

Sharing this graphic from East Coast Rabbit Rescue! Your buns are safe, but still show caution!
A graphic about cyclospora outbreak and what rabbit owners need to know. It says it is a human-specific parasite that does not live in animals. It still recommends washing your greens and buying whole heads of lettuce instead of prewashed and precut bags.

#writesky I usually start to edit when I have significant portion of the chapters done. I’ll do a read-through and check everything out, mostly because I am in a slump, otherwise. And usually re-reading and editing helps me get out of that slump.

I even have a fun YA novel I am working on that features a FMC who loves vocab and uses obscure words but I decided to add footnotes and give funny definitions to explain them so the story still flows and it’s not totally lost on people. So, I get my cake and eat it too :)

Authors can use whatever words they want. Readers have access to the internet and free dictionaries they can use. Plus context clues and anything else the author gives you. It will not kill you to think for once

The “use easier words” thing infuriates me. It ha snothing to do with ableism. As an autistic kid, I had a hyperfixation in vocab and etymology. I knew ALL the words and had a stronger vocab than all other kids my age, while also being disabled!

I have a USB stick from a box of a lady's possessions that were sold at auction. I guess none of her family wanted them, or she didn't have any. I shouldn't have plugged it in (security) but I did. This handwritten note made me cry. If you've lost anyone recently, maybe it will speak to you too.

#WipSnips #WriteSky #indieauthor Cocoa & Beau 🐾 Sweetie (Sw) is a Francophile who is dating Alain (A), a Parisien. Alain is upset with Sweetie for not keeping up with her French, and he helps her in this episode. Their antics are unfortunately more relateable now that I myself am 30…
 
Sw  	I just need to practice more
A     	I know. That’s the point
Sw   	I know. I’m just too lazy
A    that’s no excuse
If you love me and truly care about the culture, you’ll dedicate yourself to learning. It will also look good on your résumé
Sw   true
B   Wowww résumés, so boring, you two are so boring
Sw    That’s what happens when you turn 30 I guess you get boring
A    Hey!
Sw    I don’t want to be boring

I am totally amazed by Louise by Charpentier. I read it to practice French but dang is it ahead of its time! A 1900 epic about a woman escaping her abusive parents & finding freedom in love & her own self-worth as an adult. I’m so tempted to rewrite it with queer themes…

#WIPSnips #Writesky #indieauthor Sharing lines from Cocoa and Beau now! It’s a script for voice acting C&B🐾 Beau is a young poodle who is usually grumpy. He’s trying to enjoy the simpler things like his brother Cocoa. So, he’s looking for a stick to take home today (Using “form” as the word)
B: Where am I supposed to find a stick? Probably at the park. It statistically has more trees. Let’s go to the park

A: Well, all right

B: Huh. Look at that. Which stick do you think is better?

A: None of them 

B: Oh, don't be such a stick in the mud

A: Quiet, Beau (half-laughing)

B: This one. It has superb form and construction (mouth full) Let’s go home and show him

A: All right…

More info and teasers coming soon! I plan to make some videos and share them onto here. In the meantime, I will share lines from the revised scripts! And maybe share some of the process and background, too… Plus info on the story and characters, of course. I love C&B, and I hope you will, too 🐾

I also hope to use audio software and a better microphone for the revised episodes. The only struggle is re-learning how to do all the voices after Testosterone 😅 But I’ve been practicing! The only difference is I used to be able to scream all the time, but T voice gets tired when I do that now

~CRK @authorcrk.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
It’s hard to revise something that wasn’t written down and was instead audio recorded, but seeing it all in scripted form makes everything so much easier and of course makes it must faster to revise! The new episodes will be read from the new scripts, so it will be much cleaner!

~CRK @authorcrk.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
The process of revising and rewriting episodes has been quite grueling, as I have to listen to my stupid old voice and horrible improv on full volume headphones because the sound quality is horrible. And typing it all verbatim so I can fix it all! But progress is going well
