Reading a Gothic novel pushed the right buttons in my brain and got me to finally continue writing The Black Lady (Gothic romance novella inspired by a ghost story). Except I had to stop after some 500 words when I decided I can't write anything better than this today. #writing #writingcommunity

"Are you quite all right, Rozalia?" Helena asked, leaning over my chair. Tall and imposing, a guardian angel. Her voice was as soft as the gentle locks about her face. I could have sworn Id seen an angel with this face in a church somewhere. It took me another second to realise that angel had been Lucifer.

Me, reading a vampire novel: Oh yes, vampires in 1880s England 🥰 Where else would they be? Me, reading the same vampire novel: Paperbacks and trains with corridors in 1880s England??? I am not so sure. Had they been invented by then????

My tablet, for whatever reason that I should probably investigate, insists on autocorrecting lots of words in my writing. And sure, the names of my Slavic-inspired fantasy characters, I get. But changing "nobility" into "mobility" is just fucking funny. The guy's not well-bred, just bendy 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writing

Just saw a take from some fundie Christian pastor how women shouldn't live independently, or rather that women should serve men. It's sweet of them to constantly be admitting that they wouldn't survive without a woman feeding them, but I would rather these fundies had no right to live independently.

Reading a thriller I picked up semi-randomly at the library, and--as much as I'm invested in the story--I am losing my shit at some of the infodumps. And like, *this* is not efficient use of dialogue, and *that* is when you shouldn't be using the passive. Annoying af, but ultimately educational.

In The Blessed, Iluaneh is definitely on an upswing, even if sometimes it may not seem so. Zora, on the other hand, hits her lowest point during the trilogy, though I haven't written it yet 👀 #AwesomeCharacters

Draft three of The Cursed is now over 91K words long. Somehow, about 34K still remains to be revised. The previous draft stood at 125,134 words. It seems that my attempts at cutting words have been nullified by my adding words. Who knew that's how that works 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

The Murder of Priscilla Faye is one of my most explicit WIPs (though my Gothic romance novella probably wins the title), and this phone call was not G rated either. Also, Anya and Cara's is *not* a healthy relationship. At all. #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

This evening, I call her, and she picks up, even though she’s obviously out with the cast and crew.

“Hey, let me go somewhere I can hear you!” she shouts into the phone over the racket of a bar.

Finally, after much shuffling, many excuse mes, and some other, unidentified noises along the way, it quietens.

“So, you listened,” I say.

“I did!” She actually sounds enthusiastic. “There’s maybe some stuff to polish still—I mean, you need a proper studio, babe—but if I gave a fuck about this Pris chick, I’d be gobbling this shit up.”

“Thanks.” I play coy, but inside I’m screaming. “I’ve really been working my ass off over this.”

“I know. And it’s one hot ass,” she purrs into my ear and even over thousands of miles and a phone connection she manages to make me wet with the sound alone.

“Where are you now?”

“Ladies’ room, why?”

“Wanna make me come from seven thousand miles away?”

And she does.

On holiday, so I have no way to write properly and even if I had taken my laptop or tablet, a bit over 100 words a day is all I can produce when I have to share my space with anyone. (My sister may be a tolerable travelling companion, but we shared a room for 10 long years as kids, that is ENOUGH.)

While travelling through the Great Lakh Forest, my characters encounter many strange and some less strange creatures. This is more the latter than the former, but it sure has teeth. #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

The animal was large, a heap of bone and muscle, thoroughly covered by a bristle of dark fur. Each paw was the size of a human fist, except one of a particularly large specimen of human, and the claws on them left gouges in the dirt. Iluaneh couldn’t tell what it was at first—bear or wolf?—but it finally turned its hide sideways, revealing stripes, running from the top of its skull to the tail, along its spine, the colours barely distinguishable in the night.

The striped bobcat nudged the burnt-out bonfire with a claw, licking it deliberately afterwards. Iluaneh froze, imagining how much damage the long, pointed canine teeth could do to someone, or something, if this enormous, wild cat attacked them. It was half the size of a horse, which was impressive for what did look like an overgrown house pet.

So tomorrow I'm going on holiday, and I'll be returning home on the 16th. Today was day 357 of my writing streak, having done some work on my projects every single one of those days. And that means, if I'm counting it right, to reach a full year, I have to write something every day of my holiday 🫠

A nice morning writing session produced 800+ words of Anya getting into trouble (again), which is satisfactory. I'm still pantsing my way through The Murder of Priscilla Faye, but hopefully the bones of the story are solid enough I won't have to rewrite everything in draft two 🫣 #writing #writesky

My characters sigh a lot. I have a sighing problem and I can acknowledge that. However, if anyone has the right to sigh a lot, it's Lacey when she deals with Anya being unhinged (which is her default setting). #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

"If I am insane, so are you, by association," I tell Lacey. "You could've turned me down, and you didn't." "Okay, but I'm no where near as fucked up as you are. I don't go to abusers' houses to antagonize them and then, antagonize them some more on air. And accuse them of murdering their daughters." "I have not accused anyone." Yet. Not in so many words. Lacey is silent for a moment, if you don't count the sigh I make out on the other end of the line. "Y ou can't accuse anyone on the podcast We can't," she corrects herself. "That would put us 1n deep, deep, deeeeeeep shit."

In The Hand You're Dealt, Eleri carries the burden her father's reputation (ruthless steel magnate). Maeve has a reputation in certain circles (queer women) for being fun, but prone to ghosting. Vaughn is known for his drag show. Felicity has a reputation for her past (sex) work. #AwesomeCharacters

I think (or it's the two glasses of wine I've had talking) that I find writing Anya in The Murder of Priscilla Faye so cathartic, because I channel all the worst bits of me into her. Is it good? Probably not. Is it cheaper than therapy? Seeing that it only costs me time, certainly.

Eva J. Krammer | she/her 🏳️‍🌈📚✒️ @evviejo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I mention mornings and dawn way too often. This one is a morning after an Only One Bed situation 👀 #SapphicLineShare

The faintest ray of light framed the curtained window when Maeve opened her eyes in the morning. It had to be early still, around daybreak, and she crept to the window to let in the light of dawn. She disliked the complete darkness.
A pastel yellowish glow spread over the square, scarce clouds grey against the brightening canvas of the sky. They had time, no need to hurry.
Maeve turned back to the bed she'd left, the quilt cast messily halfway down. And Eleri, sleeping peacefully with her lips parted infinitesimally, her hair in a brown halo of soft waves. She had her hands laid out in front of her as she slept on her side, the fingertips almost touching the tousled sheets where Maeve had just been.

This fragment is just Maeve being her emotionally stunted, commitment-averse self. #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

“I hope this is a good enough thank you,” Maeve murmured as she moved her mouth down to Justine’s jawline.

“I think you need to try a little bit harder.”

“With pleasure,” Maeve said, directing Justine towards her own room.

She couldn’t have hoped for a better distraction, a more effective one. Where Eleri was petite and fragile, Justine was tall and strong. Where Eleri’s skin was delicate china, Justine’s was polished mahogany. Where one was timid and unsure, the other was forward and confident. An antidote to the stupid, deluded feeling she’d been developing, she was glad to swallow it whole.

No one's really having much fun in The Blessed, but in The Hand You're Dealt that would probably be Ruben and Vaughn. They're cute and silly in love, while also conspiring with Maeve on her quest for revenge. Oh, and Coral. She's having a ball, getting dragged into the heist. #AwesomeCharacters

I was having fun with my psychological thriller's structure (regular chapters, episodes of my MC's podcast, interludes in the victim's POV), but then I realised: I have no idea how I'm supposed to put all that in the synopsis if/when I query the novel 🤡 #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

Just realised with the draft three rewrites of chapter 25 of The Cursed, it is now officially the shortest one of the trilogy so far (not counting the epilogues), at less than 1.7K. Still, I think it's probably an improvement. #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

With a soft, unhappy smile, Zora leant over to kiss Iluaneh’s lips. It was a chaste, close-lipped kiss, a peck of reassurance, not desire. Then, she rested her head in the crook of Iluaneh’s neck, fitting there as if the spot had been created specially for her.

Do I (completely not) accidentally make every other female character in The Blessed a lesbian? Yes. And it's every other female character only because the other half of female characters are some other flavour of queer. #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

"I. Do. Not. Want. To. Talk. About. It." Hands up in mock surrender, Anehra chuckled, "You're too obvious, though. And I get it. Send me into a magical forest with a pretty girl for a couple moonquarters, I'll be down on my knees by the time we`re out."

Why edit your two full manuscripts in a trilogy you're writing when you can write thousands of words in random stories of what happens between a book you have drafted and one you have not? It's character work, if anyone asks 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

"She could've just not gone
through with it."
"This specimen that could be placed in a book for scholars to study what the word obstinate means?" Anehra's laughter was so hearty and so contagious it was annoying
Iluaneh could only shake her head as she bit down on a snicker
"I used to think that was Zora."
Even saying her name out loud was painful, as if she was trying to dig out a splinter that had burrowed deep beneath the skin and the wound had begun closing.

From my currently shelved dual timeline, dual POV, magical realism novella, Jackdaw. Fern is going through photo albums she found in the basement of the house she is renting, and starts discovering the life (and love) story of its former inhabitants. #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

One face first appears in the second half of the 1950s and recurs with great regularity. She's slim, with a long face and prominent teeth, flashing them often in smiles. The earliest picture dates back to 1956 and shows two young women, seated comfortably on a sofa, as if a heart-to- heart was interrupted by the photographer. They're opposite each other, one has her feet curled up under her, the other is resting an arm on the back of the couch ana propping her cheek on her hand. They must've both glanced at the lens as the shutter clicked, smiling. I check the description underneath; it says Nina i Wera, 1956. The girl on the right 1 recognise without much trouble now: once referred to as Janka, she's the girl who grew up in the house during the war. I figure she must have hatec the other nickname and insisted on being called Nina
instead. I spend a long time staring at the two girls in the photo pulled into their bubble, and I realise after a while that behind them is the familiar outline of the bookshelves in the living room. From then on, T Spy features of the house everywhere, its imprint on the lives of the people from the
album omnipresent

I should be cleaning my flat. However, I am hungry, and therefore, I have no energy. The problem is that the moment I've eaten, I will have no energy because I'll be too busy digesting the food. I think the mess in my flat is the result of me always being either too hungry or too full 🫠

In the darkness, there was no more than a couple of feet between them and Zora's hand landed easily on Iluaneh's, an unannounced firm grasp on her fingers, as if they were on a rock face and Zora was trying to find purchase. "But youre going to be there, too, when we arrive, so- I won't have to face it alone, right?" Zora said, all of the giddy cheerfulness from earlier gone. "I thought Id thrive on my own but ľm not sure about that anymore." "I won't be at court, if that's what you mean. I'm
just a soldier." "I know, but you'll be somewhere in Pogzen." 'I will. And I guarantee you, you won't be alone. There's the queen and a whole host of courtiers
and servants." Zora's breath hitched. "How do I know I can trust them?" "You don't."

Are a lot of the instances of the verb "press" in my writing in spicy contexts? Maybe. Here's one just before things get really smutty. The story to which this is a prequel is available on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/142798... #WIPSnips #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

Then, her hands, still shaky, cling to my shirt. I might have just as well pulled her out of water, drowning. Her mouth is eager against mine and once I move to suck the skin at the base of her throat, she lets out a moan. She shudders, presses her body against mine. One hand cradling the nape of her neck, I let the other slide down her spine towards her ass. Her body is lithe and firm and I wonder if she can run fast. She sure can flee.
