I should have posted these sooner! I got the first concept sketches for three of the most important characters of my novel from the extremely talented @artofreinav.bsky.social a few weeks ago. I'm very happy with them.

I discovered a new divination technique. I chew up raw pork and spit it onto a plate. It's difficult to pull off, but there's always risks with tricky gnosis like this.

I find myself in the throws of the bittersweet grief and 'what now?' phase that comes with the end of a good book. Bravo, Rawnie Sabor, bravo. I cannot recommend the court of chains series enough if modern dark romantasy is your thing. 👌 Peak.

I finished a very important scene and brought my first draft to just below the halfway mark before lunch today. Autumn is such a good time of year for my productivity. I guess I do my best work when the tea is hot and the air is cold. 🫖🍵🌈📚 #queerwriter #lesfic

“Hey.” It was the guy talking. With reluctance, Ceres turned her gaze away from Vola and to the mouthbreather in front of her. He was skinnier up close. Paler. The kind of guy you’d find listening to headphones in the park, playing chess with himself. If she’d ever needed proof she was a lesbian, this was it. Right now, his bland features were contorted in a mask of irritation. “So, thanks for apologizing and for buying another drink - but we were in the middle of a conversation…” he trailed off, clearly expecting her to take the hint.

Again, she angled her body towards the girl, subtly away from him. “Oh, cool, about what?”

Shannon caught the briefest flash of annoyance on Jacqueline’s face before it vanished behind her polished mask. If Shannon had blinked, she would’ve missed it.
“No, sorry—this is my cousin Cecilia from Montreal,” she answered before Jacqueline could. 
Jacqueline blinked, then, like a chameleon, changed her expression again. She turned to the man, her brow furrowed. “Je suis désolée. Je ne parle pas très bien anglais. Qu’est-ce que vous avez dit?” To Shannon’s ear, the French accent sounded flawless.
“Oh. Excusez-moi,” he said with a thick accent. He turned to Shannon as the official translator. “She looks remarkably like the singer Jacqueline Lamont.”
“Oui, merci. Bonne journée. Je n’ai pas envi de vous parler, celui-là. Que la foule est fatigante se soir!” Jacqueline added, biting back a laugh.
Shannon’s eyebrows rose. “She gets that a lot.”

Smooth, Geni 🙄 "mask" #sapphiclineshare from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions
"Well, shall we?" Kallista gestured in the direction of the hatch leading to the galley.

"Oh. I'm actually scheduled for the second dinner service." Geni's polite smile covered her true feelings, and just as she saw Kallista about to speak, she quipped, "I suppose as captain you could have Madelia make an exception for me this once, but then again, we wouldn't want to go around breaking the rules for me, would we?"

Geni cringed inwardly as soon as the words were out of her mouth, with all their layers of meaning. A crestfallen crease marred Kallista's brow for a moment, and then was replaced by the same mask of politeness Geni had been wearing herself. "Quite right, my good Doctor. I've had a very pleasant day with you. Good evening."

“What are the police going on about?” Cèilidh asked. “They’re normally not quite so thorough.”
“Something about some smutty books?” Clara said. “Why are they here looking for books?”
Beverly and Cèilidh exchanged a tense glance.
“They’re looking for us, Bev,” Cèilidh whispered.
“Stop calling me Bev, and don’t you think I know that?” she whispered back. “How do they even know about us?”
“I think we should get out of here,” Cèilidh said quietly to Beverly. “We can worry about why later.”
Liv looked at Clara. “I think they have a veldig strange stemmning—uh, chemistry?”
Clara nodded.
“We don’t have chemistry,” they said over each other.
“Clearly not,” Clara drawled, rolling her eyes.

#sapphiclineshare "atmosphere" from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions I'm so mean with my dramatic irony where you know Kallista thinks she's crossed a line but now her body language has Geni scared that's she's crossing a line and 😭
It was time they had a serious conversation. Or, skip the conversation entirely ...

Geni made the mistake of opening her eyes first, rather than her mouth. The words were ready to tumble out, but when she took in the visual feedback—the stiffness of Kallista's posture, and the look of worry and discomfort on her face, eyes ever so slightly wavering in her direction as if Kallista had reason to be wary of her—Geni stopped herself. The other times had to have been her imagination. This was not the face of someone who wanted to be touched by her right now.

She peeled her fingers away and stepped back. Kallista's cheek bore a new faint pink scar. It was actually rather dashing—and Geni locked that thought down for the moment, given the frigid atmosphere of the room, and stepped back in front of the desk again. "That's as good as I can get it."

“Phaedra,” the woman spoke her name like an invocation. Andi blinked, eyes suddenly too dry. Smoke curled around Phaedra’s lips, clinging for a precious moment before the laws of physics wrested it into the atmosphere. Nesting in the crease of her lower lip, a single metal bead. Andi had never kissed anyone with a lip piercing before. She’d never done a lot of things.

🌺 Windflower still isn't accustomed to some "vulnerabilities" that her girlfriend installed #SapphicLineShare
I’m pulled from suspension in a jolt. Fast boot is disorienting — doubly so while on a ship with only thrust gravity and no atmosphere. The cocktail of uppers leave my hands shaking and my thoughts fizzy. Once again the company sent us out on the cheap stuff. It doesn’t help that Jei Jei is already in my head. [Shift it Basilisks. We’re on approach to Mot and the old Sunspot port is lit the f--k up.]

I blink away status reports on my retinal display until I'm down to just the pathing to and encryption keys for the weapons locker. Stepping out of the ResiFoam lined alcove is another matter. Thankfully Aiofe's assault frame fills my vision. [Need a hand?] She brushes my cheek with the back of her hand and smirks. Gods d--mit, why am I the only one in this squad with a frame that can blush?

The euphoric atmosphere of the galactic garden they were wandering deeper into released its hold on her for a moment.  They were so close to the mirror.  Nat’s reflection revealed how close she was to turning dark purple again. The tips of her hair flickered like fire, and her divine arms had changed from silver to blinding white light.  The more her father spoke, the more her spark demanded retribution.  It demanded justice.  No.  She wanted revenge for taking her away.  For killing her.

#SapphicLineShare "Atmosphere" idk, too literal lol? 😅 rjmartinauthor.itch.io/adelaide-black
Before them, suspended in front of the great iridescent swath of the galaxy, was an alien planet. Green and bronze spirals of land floated in glittering gray seas, with white and blue clouds scattered and banding the atmosphere. The night side glimmered with spidery, yellow-white traces of civilization.

Then she saw the fleeting glints of spaceships coming and going, then rings upon rings of stations, ships, and satellites in orbit, all mostly flickers in the dark of space.

“Part of the experience,” Virgil said into the silence, a hint of reverence in her voice. “Figured you shouldn’t miss it.”

Her father seemed to grow a bit taller and stronger as they wandered into this new part of the afterlife.  The deep space around them almost shimmered with purple haze. He inhaled and folded his arms across his chest.  The same feeling she had when thinking about what Marak wanted to do to her, was written plainly on her father’s face.  The same look she saw on other victims of assault that she came across in the clinic or Innani’s store.  

“It was after I was exiled.  I found myself slowly healing and barely able to walk on the edge of the city.  No magic.  Just tossed onto a supply van and ditched in an alleyway as they went to get the last of our Church’s equipment from the hospital.  I had no one, except a friend.  A dusk elf named Jeth.  He was my accomplice in almost every way, even told me he would be waiting for me if they let me live.”

“So you made friends with an outsider.  Hypocrite.”

#SapphicLineShare "Senses"

B finished her cocktail and lunged the distance between her and K, who deftly kept her own drink from spilling. She sipped at it casually even as B pressed close, calmly holding B’s gaze. Electricity seemed to pass between them as they breathed the flavors on each other’s breath.

B snatched K’s drink and finished it for her. She tossed it over her shoulder as she closed the final distance between them to claim her lips, deep and possessive. She tasted the alcohol on K’s tongue, smelled her subtle perfume, felt her smooth thigh under the slit in her dress.

An excerpt from the first draft of my book A Thief's Guide to Happily Ever After: Her eyes slide left and right, brows pulling inward, but there’s a pinprick of interest in her dark gaze. Just as curious as a snow leopard. With a sigh, Melirin grasps her hand and pulls her toward the center of the room. “Fine. We can play pretend all you like—not that it’ll do you any good. You’re in a room full of armed guards, thief.”
It’s meant as a warning but there’s only the roar of provocation sounding in Ness’ ears. She presses a hand to the small of Melirin’s back and tugs her close as the deep, rich notes of a cello float toward them. “I do enjoy a challenge, my lady.”

#SapphicLineShare ****Senses (taste)**** From WIP3 - The First Lesbian Book Club, from chapter "Hope You Like It Spicy, Part Two." Beverly has made a grave error. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ #QueerWriters #WritingPrompts #FLBC #SapphicWriters #WritingCommunity #sapphicauthors #WriteSky #LesFic
The spices assaulted Beverly’s tongue before she finished her first bite, and when the heat struck the back of her throat, she coughed. Clara glanced up at once, concern flashing across her face. But Beverly, in a foolish attempt to preserve her dignity, hastily shoved more spaghetti into her mouth and regretted it the instant it touched her tongue. Her face went scarlet and her eyes watered. It felt like swallowing fire.
Clara returned to her plate and took a bite. “Whew.” She reached for her wine. “When you said you liked it a little spicy, I did not expect this.”
Beverly waved her off, though she knew she probably shouldn’t. She should confess her mouth felt full of lava and warn Clara not to take another bite.
But any words she tried to form burned on her tongue.
“Good heavens,” Clara said, exhaling sharply. “It keeps building. Did you use scotch bonnet peppers?”
Beverly had to admit Clara was bearing it far better. Then again, Clara had taken a sensible bite, while Beverly had shovelled in a heroic forkful in the name of pride. Or perhaps nerves. Both led to questionable life choices.
“Are you all right?” Clara asked.
“Too spicy.” Beverly grabbed a hunk of baguette and crammed it into her mouth, chewing furiously in hopes it might defeat the capsaicin.
It didn’t help. Now she had a burning mouth and a wad of bread to chew and swallow before her throat closed in protest.

#sapphiclineshare here's a few of the senses in one paragraph... from The First Mate and the Dryad's Daughter 🦜 💚 🌴 currently first drafting
Now, at the start of her first shift on the second day, she was already desperate for sleep again. In the rhythm of the oars cutting through the waves; the fug of breath and sweat; the callouses on her palms almost not enough, tenderising with her hours long gripping of the end of her oar; in the low drone of songs she hadn't learnt yet, songs of the seafarers and not the grove dwellers: she danced again in her mind's eye as a dandelion seed tossed on waves, with no hope of rooting herself in earth.
