Had to step back from so many projects I was helping on due to poor health, but hopefully now I have enough energy to get back to writing and game design. I'm doing okay, better than I ever have actually, but damn bad physical health and ADHD is kicking my ass hard.

I turn 28 tomorrow and I don't think I've felt this much dread about getting older since I turned 21.

I want to put Werewolf Aide on Kindle Unlimited. 15 chapters done & I can finish it if I can just- Rewrite. The first. Freakin'. Chapter. Location is necessary. The characters that show up are vital & the entire chapter sets up the story nicely. But the opening 2 pages just suck? #writingcommunity

#MythAugust Their appearances change depending on when it is their season! This passage from one of their stories explains better. The only exception is Fall's demigod who is two people: Decay (darker palette) during Fall and Winter then Harvest (orange & red palette like Fall) in Spring and Summer.

"The Graveyard Shift - a noir audio drama set in the sleepless hours between midnight and dawn, hosted by Louise Darrow, a woman who knows the city's back alleys better than its boulevards and has the voice to prove it." I absolutely loved voicing in this & I hope you'll tune in! #audiodrama #noir
The Graveyard Shift, featuring Louise Darrow. Tuesdays at 10pm UK time, starting September 1st airing for 6 weeks. Only on bigearradio.com

Winter: salvation & spirit of surviving harsh conditions Summer: wisdom & thought like running water Fall: conclusions & fullness of a bridge between the death of Winter & the overlife of Summer Spring: beginnings, like what she was for her mother, & the purity of fresh foliage #MythAugust

Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
#MythAugust Winter: the most rigid & hard to understand. She struggles with her position, both as the eldest & most hated seasonal god. She was created to anchor in all the harsh snow & ice but even as a little girl, she was blamed for the destruction and famine that came with the season. (1/?)

I HAVE PLAY TESTERS! HAIL MARY I HAVE PLAY TESTERS! My board and pieces are still paper and tape and the rules are wonky but these are people that religiously play board games. I couldn't ask for a better scenario to figure out early-on issues. #boardgames #gamedesign 🎲✂️

Domthair and Ameoir live nowhere attainable, neither by mortals or their own kids/grandkids. The seasonal gods and their demigods however live in the town of Ashnah where the sundial allows all 4 seasons to exist close by easily. Summer's castle is by the river that flows between Spring (1/?)

Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
The primordials never met any mortals. Domthair & Ameoir wanted nothing to do with mortals, thought it was safer to keep separate. On the contrast, the seasonal gods integrate with morals regularly. Patrons of several towns and beneficial when they can. The mortals worship in their ways (1/?)

I keep forgetting the worst thing about editing audio: I can't listen to music at the same time so in between files I'm just sitting here with headphones on in silence. I think this is purgatory.

Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Their powers don't dictate rankings: worship does. The seasonal gods all have patron towns, even Fall who prefers not to be worshipped, but as the patron god of witches, it happens. Domthair & Ameoir have lost many followers but still leager. And the primordials? Well- #MythAugust #writingcommunity

Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
The seasonal gods are family & they consider their individual demigods family as well. While Domthair & Ameoir are also family, there's a disconnect there; even gods deal with absenty parents. There are rumors of "primordials" who see mortals as parasites to the realm- #MythAugust #writingcommunity
010
Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
The seasonal gods & their demigods have a similar moral code: help humans first. How they achieve that varies. Domthair & Ameoir tend to what keeps the general peace & realm alive even if it means unsavory decisions. Including what became of the elemental primordials- #MythAugust #writingcommunity
060
Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
The elemental spirits are long forgotten but the seasonal gods both are the embodiment of the seasons: twins Winter and Summer and their children Spring and Fall, respectively. Winter and Summer's parents, Domthair and Ameoir, embody the realm, time, and space. #MythAugust #writingcommunity

Toris King @avianwrites.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Polytheistic religion starting with the primordial elemental spirits along wise a rendition of Mother Nature and Father Time. Their children and their children are the 4 seasonal gods and each have a demigod of part of their domain. #MythAugust #writingcommunity

I didn't lose interest in my debut book, I really do want to finish it. But damn do the other shiny WIPs in my drive catch my eye every day. Especially when I find music that fits them so WELL- Anyway, I now have meal culture routines for Timina and Felsenaugh. #writesky

Opened my producer drives and saw the note to me: "outlines still need to get done dumbass" and was about to get all upset that someone on one of my crews left such a rude message Then realized it was me. I was the rude one. And I'm right, the outlines still need to get done, dumbass.

Fellow authors: Without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP? From Harvest Children: "Dear Ms. Haven Levins, I am writing with a heavy heart to inform you of the passing of Ricky Watkins." Very optimistic huh?

Proof I'm not a quick thinker: last night my work set off fireworks & one fell over before shooting off. Exploded against the office building, two kids got hit by sparks, & one shot off right at me and another kid. Thank God he dove out of the way but I was frozen watching it all & burned my leg.

The amount of casting calls on CCC looking for VAs at the same time as writers, artists,an entire crew because they only have the very base or vague statement idea of a story is both astounding and aggrating. I know CCC isn't exactly the cream of the crop for creative gigs but geez.

A local author in my city, Adrienne Rivera, spoke to my writers group about her new book My Fair Monster & I checked it out immediately. I LOVED it, read it in a day. MC is relatable with her ADHD & her personality doesn't grate. The conflict is realistic and the love interest is wonderful! #booksky

Officially started my capstone class and by the end of the Summer, I'll have my general studies associate's degree! Sounds so underwhelming but I graduated hs a decade ago so really I'll just be glad to have some degree. Looking into a visual communications AS after this tho so we'll see!

I joined a new audio drama studio as their co producer and somehow I'm doing more writing than I ever have! It's fun, if not hella overwhelming but I've also been taken down to 3 days a week at work so hopefully those debut edits can happen faster. #writingcommunity

I'm quickly realizing that the sticky notes app on my laptop ISN'T the best for editing notes for my horror debut. My best option is commandeering an entire wall in my wife's and I's office with paper but I think the cats will have an issue with that.

Behold my purely sophisticated and polished board layout for Race to Circa- Definitely gonna tweak and see if I can have the paths overlap, it'll make the art design a bit harder but maybe easier on the actual layout of the spaces and obstacles. 🎲✂️

A key mechanic of one of my #boardgames is choosing a solution to an obstacle, ex a rainstorm with an active volcano, and pitching to the other players how that would help in anyway. On one hand, people can be dicks and just say no to everything so they win. On the other, I want to see fights. 🎲✂️

Don't know if it's the ADHD or watching the Cones of Dunshire episode of parks and rec but I reeeeally wanna try again at #boardgames design. I kept making stuff too simple or too complicated and stopped when I got frustrated at myself but damn if that itch ain't still there.
