This is tough!! 1. After writing draft one, I threw it away and re-wrote it from scratch 2. The ending came to me mere moments before writing it 3. I changed my mind about which brother my FMC would end up with halfway through #CampTrivia #CampRevPit #CRPDirewolves

The art I commissioned for 🕊️A LIGHT THAT BINDS came in today 😱 Meet Elara Seraphin ❤️‍🔥 It’s safe to say I cried, and will be forever grateful to Liusia Piu—the artist that brought her to life. #writersky #writersofbluesky

A catholic-renaissance inspired painting of my character Elara Seraphin, who is wearing an off the shoulder indigo dress, has long brown hair and silver eyes. She holds up one glowing palm, the other holds an ornate dagger. There is a golden halo behind her head. Above her is the Latin inscription: LUX OMNIBUS VINCIT

For my #RevPit submission, I had a dream and a blank document. I wrote it once, threw it away, and then plotted everything out and re-wrote it. My current WIP? I’m operating off my deranged, illegible scribblings. I have a vibe, a name, and an ending scrawled on the back of a napkin. #RevPitWaiting

I totally missed this but my set up is very boring (chair - uncomfortable, preferably, to remind me I’m alive. Desk/dining table, you get the idea). But I do have one very strict requirement, without which my brain cannot function! #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

Sibling collages for 🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS! Whether it’s chosen, lost, or broken—family is a huge theme in my story. 🖤 Nico X Markos 🖤 Adrian X Quinn #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

A collage of photos including the coloured shadow cast by stained glass windows, dark alleyways, and tea boiling on a stove in low light. In the foreground a bandaged hand, a dark angel, the shadow of an assassin, and a sorrowful looking man with long, dark hair. The text reads “Nico Ilvanor” and the quote says “I know exactly what I want.”

A collage of moody photos. A derelict factory, a large pirate-esque ship, a dark club. In the foreground, hands with bloodied knuckles, a dark haired man with blue eyes, liquor decanters, and money. The text reads “Markos Ilvanor” and the quote says “I knew from the moment I saw you.”

A collage of romantic, renaissance style photos that are warm toned. An oil painting of a crying eye. Hands doing a “pinky promise” motion. Fruit dots the foreground along with a glass of white wine, a dove, a stone carving, and magnolias. The subject is a young man with dark hair and dark eyes. Text reads “Adrian Luceran, With a small war waging inside his mind, he set himself to the impossible task of trying.”

A collage of photos including a charcoal gesture drawing, dark alleyways, a seaside city, tea on the stove, and golden hour shadows. In the foreground, a wrapped fist, a glass of white wine, a stone carving, a swallow tattoo, a hand with silver rings, and magnolias. The subject is a queer, androgynous woman with dark hair and dark eyes. The text reads: “Quinn Luceran. You are not my family. You are nothing to me.”

I’ve literally been WAITING for this 😭😭 I exclusively listened to ROSALÌA’s album LUX while writing ALTB and trained myself like a Pavlovian dog to get in the mood to write! And because I’m insane, I gave each character a song Oh, and I can now speak 13 languages (jk, I wish) #revpitwaiting

What lengths would you go to for love? Wren Kerrigan thinks she’d go pretty far, but when her search leads to a forest of curses, soul ties, and eternal winter, she is forced to draw her line in the snow or risk becoming the monster she fears. #amquerying my New Adult Fantasy Romance, GOLDSPINNER

🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS vibes! King’s Landing 🏛️ 🌞 X Arcane ✨⚡️ I do love a Pinterest collage but I cannot say I’m particularly good at them! #revpitwaiting #revpit

A collage of images depicting a Mediterranean inspired setting filled with marble columns, statues, lush gardens, and decadence. The text reads “Calmeris, Northside” followed by a quote: “A beautiful, pristine carcass. Bones long stripped of anything resembling flesh, bleached in the light of day…”

A collage of images depicting a Mediterranean inspired setting that is struggling economically. Buildings are decrepit and limestone is crumbling. There is a large cathedral dome, a black cat, a nun and a rosary included. The text reads, “Calmeris, Northside” and a quote: “Mid-summer and boiling hot, the air was half ocean-spray, half human suffering.”

A collage depicting the FMC, Elara Seraphin. She has olive skin, grey-silver eyes, and long brown hair in two braids. The images convey hand, light, flowers, and water motifs. In the background, there are dark photos of the Southside Calmeris streets at night, conveying she is likely a night owl. In addition, there is a photo of her black cat, a melting candle, a gold dagger, and a cup of tea. The quote reads: “The Gods heard her, and let her exist in a moment forever.”

A collage of images depicting the MMC, Adrian Luceran. He is Caucasian with dark brown hair and dark eyes. Behind him are images depicting fruit (figs, oranges, pears), white wine, a painter’s palette, a small stone carving, and a dove. The collage conveys art and longing motifs. In the background are images of renaissance/greek-esque rooms that have columns and opulent furnishings, along with an oil painting of two men holding hands, suggesting that Adrian may be queer. The quote reads: “With a small war waging inside his mind, he set himself to the impossible task of trying.”
