Deep in the woods near Grenner is magical realm nexus point known as the tangle. Good luck getting to and from it, though. There are no clear trails & the space messes with human senses. Your best bet is to be on good terms with an imp who has an eye or 2 in it to teleport you in & out. #Septopolis

Grenner is located along a river & close to a magical forest. I'm still deciding how the forest impacts the local economy (& ecosystem, including the river). It's a nexus point for many different realms, so I'm thinking the flora & fauna & game are "off" in unsettling ways. (1/2) #Septopolis

This is a fun one (they're all fun)! Grenner is a rural city on a peninsula loosely based on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula: temperate rainforests, lots of rain & wind during the fall/winter/spring s(l)og. Grenner is near a magical forest that makes it a popular city for practitioners. (1/2)

Greener and the surrounding area is the MC's hometown and the story setting. (And because I can't resist, a character in its own right.) #Septopolis

Hello #Septopolis folks! I'll be focusing on the setting for a percolating fantasy noir(ish) story set in a small city near a dark & foreboding magical forest that I'm hoping to flesh out to be less cliche this month!

The Algorithm(TM) has let me (willingly) fall into the junk journal/junk planner side of TikTok. I'm now eyeing all the really old hardbacks no used bookstore will take with aspirations likely beyond my current crafting abilities. But I have all the materials & some time! So time to get my craft on!

Have I done much with these planners? No! Do I still adore them? Yes! Someday I'll break through the barrier keeping me from USING THE DATED PLANNERS instead of going "too pretty to mess up" like the collection of Very Nice Journals I'll use someday. 🙃 (I am using nice spiral notebooks instead.)

Spending some time this evening plotting out my week in my journal before filling out my billion and one* planners with more detailed info. * A slight exaggeration. Slight.

Is this an excuse to have a Bluesky kitty appreciation party? It is indeed! Little Miss cordially invites you to appreciate her nose freckles, whiskers, and overall adorableness. And would so like to appreciate other cats of Bluesky!

Fountain pen enthusiasts of Bluesky! One of the bits of joy I'm embracing this year is the pleasure of writing longhand with pretty fountain pens. What are your recommendations for a newbie? I'm looking for pens, ink, & paper recommendations so I can treat myself throughout the year. Thank you! ✍️

Start a big dumb project that's going to go nowhere. It's fun. It's pointless. It's like gambling with free lottery tickets. Any of this shit you just make up could become a bestseller. Give into the literary hysteria in 2025.

I'm a day behind inking up my week in my At-A-Glance weekly planner, so a quick peek at this week's bare-bones before the pen spread featuring stickers from Krissy Anne Designs reading pack. #planners #beforethepen

Spending some time this evening with my 2025 planners. I love that my Hobonichi planners have a "My 100" section at the back. I'm using my daily Techo to document 100 new(ish) recipes & my Weeks to do a #Horror 100: 100 new-to-me pieces of horror media (books, movies, etc.).

An A6 Hobonichi Techo planner opened to a blank page titled "Turning the page to a new year". It sits on top of a closed At-A-Glance weekly 2025 planners. A clear teacup with a flowering tea ball is in the background.

A Hobonichi Techo Weeks planner opened to the notes section in the back. The page on the left has a pair of bat stickers framing a "Let's Get Spooky" sticker. "Horror 100" is handwritten underneath it. Below that is a gray line titled "Rules". Below that are the 4 rules for the challenge. A ghost sticker adorns the lower right corner of the page. The right page is blank with a blue ballpoint pen positioned near the edge. A clear teacup with a flowering tea ball is in the background.

A Miss Cheeks milestone! She's lounging on my lap for the first time. (She joined House Brown in December 2019 for context.) She usually stands on my lap or sits next to me for pettins. But today, I m successfully tricked her with a blanket to convince her the lap is a cozy & safe petting space.

Today is the day! QUEEN OF FURY is finally here. 💚 Romance, adventure, magic, & unbridled feminine rage. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed feminist Arthurian retelling, QUEEN OF NONE, opens wide the world of Braetan, and brings together two unlikely characters who change everything.

A promotional graphic that reads "The Queens of Fate Arthurian Fantasy Series Continues" - Hwyfar of Avillion returns home to a kingdom
on the brink of ruin.
Gawain of Orkney embarks on one final assignment before retirement.
But in King Arthur’s Court, this love is treason.
The last thing either of them expect is love.

There is an image of the book cover, which features an armored woman with red hair on a green and gold background.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
