A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column:
1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky
2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights
3. Two hands reaching towards one another
4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar 
5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up 
6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky
7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog 
8. A hand covered in glitter
9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance
10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile
11. A black woman screaming 
12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds 
13. An eye turned to show only the whites 
14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air 
15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle 

None of the images are my own. They are all sourced from Pinterest

Soaking into my last Sesame-cuddles before I take my writing on vacation with me 🏝️ #5amwritersclub #alittlelate
Sesame, a black cat, is curled up on my lap at my desk. My keys board is across my lap as well - she loves to get in the way. Forever trying to sneak in black cats within each fantasy I write.

nothing like some seasonal allergies to get you out of bed and to the writing desk ✍️ #5amwritersclub
A close up of a magnolia tree in bloom. Pink and white petals against a bright blue sky. They’re my favorite type of flowering tree. Whenever I see one I make it a mission to go closer.

A not-aesthetically-pleasing progress pic of this gouache cutie that I’ve been slowing building on over the last week. Trying to find the right paint consistency has been the hardest (+funnest!) part for me 🖼️ Coming from a tutorial by Paul Clark ! #gouache #painting #learntopaint
A gouache painting still in progress, with tape laid along the edges. The painting depicts a boat on solid ground beside a red-roofed seaside house, along cobbled streets. The background consists of a blue sky with (poorly done lol) fluffy clouds and the ocean.

First morning in days that I’ve managed to pop up to write 🌞 let’s see if my brain will catch up with my body today #5amwritersclub
Sesame, a black cat, stares into the distance (probably at a ghost or a speck of dust) while my laptop with scrivener pulled up rests on my lap. My lemon blanket and large plant look cute, I think!

Good morning ☀️ I snoozed twice before Sesame 🐈‍⬛ started scratching at the door, telling me it was time to write already. #5amwritersclub

We’ve got: ✅ scrivener primed + ready ✅ curled up Sesame ✅ a wild desire to complete something half decent this year Now we hope 🤞🏼 it’s enough #5amwritersclub
Sesame, my roommate’s black cat, is curled up on a dark gray duvet cover. My black laptop is resting in my lap with Scrivener pulled up. Extra cozy, extra ready to write some fantasy!
