The Audacity 1 by Carmen Loup

A bombastic yet loving tribute to the absurdity of life, the universe, and everything.

I never watched Euphoria because it didn't appeal to me, but I do wish the kids (anyone younger than 30 is a kid) were still doing their makeup with all the bright colors and doo-dads! That was a fun trend that didn't last long enough I think.

I PORMISEEE this is the last time I update the book cover. I'm done. I just missed Aimz too much and May didn't look like herself in my second try. But I swear. That's it. Finished book cover. 🥲

third audacity 2 cover with aimz again but everyone is drawn just a little bit better but now that I'm looking at it it's basically the freaking same as the first version.

My mom once asked if I'd ever write a book that wasn't about "that alien". Even if I start writing historical gothic romances, "that alien" will always be there because "that alien" is actually me. So here I offer you four entire books written for that alien. www.carmenloup.com/novels-bcover

The Samhain festival I run every year keeps growing! We just got a fire spinner :D I love being able to run these big community events. It's stressful trying to manage all the moving parts, but it's also fun and really rewarding. I need a clipboard.

The Good Place has given me such a good way to politely and quickly tell people I'm non-binary. I've used the "Not a ma'am/she/girl/woman" line so much 😂 🧡Janet

Spent 2 hours this morning on the porch enjoying the false fall weather and coming up with ideas for The Audacity 6! Now I must write some smut...

Carmen Loup🌻🌈 Read Aliens in New Florida! @carmenloup.com · 24/09/2026

Dang it. I'm supposed to be writing smut, but I'm actually getting so much good stuff out for The Audacity 6 instead 😂 Maybe that's the secret. Always be avoiding one project.

I've stopped saying "AI Art" and replaced it with "AI generated imagery" or "content". Subtle, yes, but the language we use really really does make a difference.

When I was in my self exploration phase, "bisexual" wasn't as common as "pansexual" was, so I still think of myself as pansexual, but I can't for the life of me figure out if there's a difference except that pansexual was briefly more popular in the early 2000s?

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

#WIPSnips for effort from The Audacity 5! Xan experiences the joy of slipping into madness.

He understood, now, how Aimz had been so happy when she became scourged before, back on Not Tuhnt. She hadn’t fought it, and in not fighting it, she’d freed herself from the effort of trying to remain human and instead gleefully allowed herself to become unfathomable.

#WIPSnips for call! May's "rescued" by a gaggle of Alaskan crab fishermen himbos and she really doesn't appreciate it.

"Whatcha got there? Oh," said the first voice, Leif. "Aw, damn. Poor thing. Wonder how she got here." More lights danced behind her eyes and a whiff of coffee and whiskey breath warmed her nose as Leif bent to study her.
"No decomposition...no discoloration. Not cold enough to preserve her this well for long..." The second voice muttered. "We should call the ranger."

I love having some of my favorite quotes to start off a book but I have like 3 really good ones for The Audacity 5 and I can't decide! So I'll leave it up to a vote!! Neil, Mae, or Chuang?

“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.” ― Neil DeGrasse Tyson
“The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing.”
― Mae Jemison

“The purpose of a fish trap
is to catch fish,
and when the fish are caught
the trap is forgotten.
The purpose of a rabbit snare
is to catch rabbits.
When the rabbits are caught,
the snare is forgotten.
The purpose of the word
is to convey ideas.
When the ideas are grasped,
the words are forgotten.
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words?
I’d like to have a word with him.”
― Chuang Tzu

Alright, The Audacity 5 is OFFICIALLY done and ready for @cknightwrites.bsky.social to edit and you know how I know? When I wrote the final words I did that weird hand flappy thing so I wouldn't cry. It's weird hand flappy thing approved.

A piece from The Audacity 5 today! Just polishing up the last two chapters...deciding how to go about book 6 👀

He snatched an opalescent blue dildo about as long as his arm from a box beneath the bed and rapped the Porgord on the top of the head with it. “Go!” he shouted to May, but in the brief time it took him to say this, the creature had caught the wobbly phallus, bit it in half, and lunged at his face.
May did not go, as suggested. She slung the hot noodles in the Porgord’s eyes, grabbed a handful of Xan’s robe near the waist, hauled him out of the room, and slammed the door closed. Finding no way to lock it quickly, she just held it closed with her back. Xan joined her in this endeavor, briefly, before remembering how to latch the door from the outside. Orgasmo’s, it must be said, had not been designed with anyone’s safety in mind.

#QueerPrompts Lots! Xan's a linguist, so we go into language a lot. Several alien languages, some ancient alien languages, and because he learned English from I Love Lucy, some of his "English" is actually Spanish. We also have August, who's German.

I'm at the point where I won't go to the hospital, knowing I probably should, because we're still trapped under the bills from my relapse and The Kid's gender affirming care after being cut off by insurance. I stopped asking for help because of guilt and shame, but...the need is still there.

I’ve had some of the nicest compliments on this book from people who’ve read it. Mostly along the lines of “wow, it’s so much better than The Audacity! I didn’t know you were actually a good writer!”

I think debate mindset has kinda ruined our ability to have deep conversations. Everyone’s so worried about being right and defending their point that it’s difficult for people to play with ideas together.

Xan’s a solid 8. 80% of people he can totally snag. 20% find him unbearable. May is, shockingly, a 10 but will never ever use her powers because she A) doesn’t like people in general and B) is aro/ace.

Art is contribution, history, and immortality. Literature is travel, sagely wisdom, and personal exploration. Poetry is hope, confession, and empathetic ache spanning eras. Keep creating. Keep humanity human. #create #art #literature #poetry #booksky #immortality #quotes

Duolingo is so annoying 😩It’s the only app that teaches Hindi sentence structure (the rest are all lexicon apps) but I find its Whole Deal grating and it doesn’t let you pick what you want to learn like travel phrases.
