Me: “Okay. One chapter finished.” Brain: “Great! Let's start a new story.” Me: “I have THREE chapters to finish.” Brain: “Right.” Me: “So we're finishing those.” Brain: “Absolutely.” new story idea appears Me: “You son of a bitch.” #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

Me: “YES! Chapter finished and posted! Finally. I can relax.” Other three chapters: “...” Me: “Don't.” Chapters: “...” Me: “I SAID DON'T.” Chapters: “So... when are you finishing us?” Me: “I hate it here.” 😂 1 down. 3 to go. #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

Me: “I just need to research ONE thing for this scene.” two hours later Me: “Well, I now know how medieval locks worked, what sailors ate in 1732, and how long a body takes to decompose.” Chapter: “Did you write anything?” Me: “That's not the point.” #WritersLife

Me: “Okay, this chapter finally makes sense.” Character: “You know I'm terrified of water, right?” Me: “...What?” “Childhood trauma.” “YOU'RE ON A BOAT.” “I know.” “WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!” “You never asked.” Writing is being gaslit by imaginary people. 😂 #WritersLife

I know! Little shits have the audacity to steer the story themselves and I'm sitting here, pinching the bridge of my nose thinking, 'What are they plotting now?'.

Me: “You're a minor character. Two scenes. That's it.” Character: “Cool.” three chapters later Me: “Why do you have a backstory?” Character: “I made one.” “Why do you have a love interest?!” “Made them too.” “GET OUT OF MY OUTLINE.” “No. ❤️” #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

Depends on the story. Have no books, but have many thousands of words written. Current count of my main 3 stories is nearly 2 million words between the 3 of them.

A genre I call story driven erotica, where the plot matters and eroyic encounters happen along the way.

Unwritten character: “When is it MY turn?” Me: “I'm getting to you.” “They've had HOW many chapters?” “Wait your damn turn.” Another character: “You want my spot? Fight me.” “Bring it, bitch.” Me: “...I have completely lost control of this operation.” #WritersLife

Me when I'm Writing: Me: “I have a plan.” Character: “That's adorable.” Me: “You're supposed to go THIS way.” Character: “No.” Me: “I literally created you.” Character: “Sounds like a you problem.” And somehow they're usually right. 😂 #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

Been a little quiet lately, but I'm still here! 😂 Life's been busy and I've had my nose firmly to the grindstone: writing, editing, and getting things done behind the scenes. Sometimes being quiet just means the keyboard's been getting all the attention. Still writing and still creating. 🔥

010

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Life doesn't stop because I have writing deadlines. Dealing with responsibilities, chaos, and a hundred things that need attention. So I've gotten good at stealing time. 20 minutes here, 30 there, whatever I can find. You don't need perfect conditions. You just need to keep moving. #WritersLife

Readers, what makes character chemistry REALLY work for you? 🔥 Slow-burn tension ⚡ Instant sparks 😈 Enemies with WAY too much chemistry ❤️ Friendship that becomes something more 💀 “These two are a terrible idea.” That last one has caused writers absolutely no problems. Ever. 😂 #WritingCommunity

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Readers; which character gets you every damn time? 😇 The hero trying to do the right thing 😈 The villain you KNOW you shouldn't like 🔥 The morally grey disaster 😂 The lovable chaos gremlin Me? I keep creating #3 and then wonder why they hijack my stories. What's yours?

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It's been a LONG day. Am I tired? Yep. Do I still have writing to do? Yep. Is that stopping me? Absolutely not. Being a writer isn't about waiting for inspiration. It's about getting back up, sitting your ass down, and getting to work. Round two. Let's go. 😂 #StillWriting

Being a writer is basically: 10% writing. 20% editing. 20% research. 10% wondering if any of this makes sense. And 40% having a character casually ruin the perfectly good plan you spent three hours making. “You weren't supposed to do that.” Character: “And yet.” 😂 #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

Writer problems: You're happily working on one story when another idea appears, then another. Suddenly the little chaos gremlins in your head are fighting for dominance while you're yelling: “HEY! Knock it off! I'm working on THIS one!” They don't listen. 😂 #WritingCommunity

Readers & writers: what hooks you fastest? 🚀 Epic sci-fi ⚔️ Fantasy & adventure 🩸 Horror & supernatural 🔥 Darker, sexier & dangerous I write all four, because apparently choosing a lane wasn't an option. 😂 What's your pick? #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor

Another day, another mountain of deadlines, writing quotas, edits, uploads, and approximately seventeen things all demanding attention at once. Am I behind on a few things? Yep. Am I stopping? Absolutely not. To battle, brothers and sisters.

Some will read my stories and think they are fantastic, some will think they are shit and some will think they are meh. I'm OK with that, because as the late Sir Alec Guiness once said, 'Many of the truths we all cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view.' #WritingLife

I use AI art because I’m building entire story worlds with dozens of characters across cultures and mythologies. No single artist could keep up, and I refuse to see those worlds whitewashed or diluted. AI doesn’t replace artists; it preserves authenticity.

If you do have an OC (or are itching to create one), let’s talk! I’m always open to collabs and world-building experiments. My own worlds are packed with wild, original characters and I’d love to mix things up with fellow #Creatives. #ArtistCollab

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

I love seeing the amazing fan art on my feed. Do any of you #artists keep a personal OC or dream world tucked away? As a writer, building original characters keeps my stories alive, and I’d love to see more artist OCs lighting up the timeline. #originalcharacter #OCcommunity

So.... starting my journey into anime and am curious about some recommendations for something good, outside of the obvious ones and please, none of the ones that are subversive or have Deus Ex Machina ending, as I truly loathe such endings. Also, thoughts on where Moonrise ranks?

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Well, 7 seasons are out now, and the 8th and final season is due to release next year, so the end isn't far off. Season 4 is where things start getting really good, and so much changes with the story moving forward. I'm sure you'll both enjoy it.

C.H. Darkstrider @chdarkstrider.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Maybe have him sit down and watch Outlander? Loved the books, and love the series. While there are a few changes, the casting, and storytelling was spot on! If he tries complaining, let him know that all the good stuff, such as duels, old world combat, and even a but of spy craft are in the series.

While I write much in terms of hetero based relationships, I write just as many sapphic ones in each and every one of my stories. If you'd be interested in having me on the podcast, let me know!

Think I might stay here and start stepping away from the other place where people used to be. Went back because I have a bigger base, but the engagement over there is just atrocious! I post the same things there that I do here, and I often get more likes and interest here than I do there.

My responsibilities stack higher every day, but I carry them all, and I keep writing. The stories don’t stop, and neither do I. Atlas didn’t drop the world... and I won’t drop the pen. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #KeepWriting #scifi #fantasy

Eight years into this journey and still alone at the page. Not because the stories are easy, but because they demand to be told as they are. No polish for the crowd and no shortcuts for the market. Just truth... and where it leads. #AmWriting #KeepWriting #Storyteller

As I stated in the post, pick 2 that strike your fancy and one of them has to be one of the long ones, like Project Prometheus or Gaia's Champion. The 2nd story can be one of the shorter ones.

1/3 OK, wow!! I honestly didn't think I'd see so many people responding to my inquiry! Well, to continue on with it, I have not selected an #artist yet, but in order to help narrow things down, I will require 2 things from any who are still interested in working together and they are as follows:

If an individual offering consensual nudes of themself on OnlyFans is considered “illicit” but a program generating nudes of women without their consent is fine, the powers that be have made their priorities clear. And they’re the same as they ever were.

Ignored... yet again. Just goes to show that if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. And some people wonder why I do all the work of the stories I create alone. Everyone wants the results, but no one wants to put in the work. As Thanos has said...
