It’s been a while, my loves! Went on a whole little journey but I have ten chapters left of edits before the submission journey resumes. In the meantime, here’s a picture of cool rocks because I’m excellent at social media 😘 #booksky #art #fyp #writingcommunity

#AntagonistApril All my antagonists are relatable enough that you can understand why they do what they do. They are given chances, but while some can come back from the evil they commit, others go too far. #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Writesky

The main Big Bads in my series are the leaders of the two groups fighting. Both have armies of powerful magic wielders, and both will destroy anyone standing in the way as they try to get at one another. #AntagonistApril #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Writesky #Booksky

He’s a physical being who traps victims by paralyzing them so he can feed off their worst memories or nightmares if they’re asleep. He doesn’t manipulate the dreams/memories, just forces victims to relive them over and over while he consumes the negative emotion.

The Dream Eater, a spirit whose magic feeds off of nightmares, is the first clear antagonist, trapping the townspeople to devour their fears and rage. #AntagonistApril #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WritingPrompts #Booksky

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him.
Blue: And don't get me started on-
Green: Wait! Before you start...

Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly.
Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain?
Blue: Can I just complain?

Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder.
Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first.

As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left.
Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait.
Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!

Like yesterday, the answer is blurry. The main groups are the Stormchasers and the spirits they hunt. Both view the other as evil, but both are killing to protect their people. #AntagonistApril #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Writesky #booksky

#AntagonistApril let’s go! Storm Mountain doesn’t have a clear antagonist at first. There are multiple characters that commit horrible acts and you suspect are evil, but the more you learn the fuzzier the line of “Villain” becomes. #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Writesky #Booksky

10/10 recommend this book that broke TikTok law. I beta read it and have to say it’s phenomenal. Side effects may include existential corporate crisis, desire to quit job and become a space llama farmer, and/or phobia of coffee. #WritingCommunity #booksky #Writesky #amwriting

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the first panel shows little baby Green, sitting alone in an empty void, looking disappointed but not surprised.
Green, narrating: When I was little, life was bad. I thought it would be bad forever.

Next, adult Green is floating through an empty void, not attached to anything.
Green, continuing to narrate: But that passed, and I learned that nothing is forever. Everything is only temporary.

Blue, appearing out of nowhere, grabs Green by the tail, gently holding on to stop him from drifting away.
Green, still narrating: And then you were there. For good.

The foxes settle down to play some kind of a board game. It's unclear which one of them is winning.
Green, narrating: You make me want to believe in "forever".

i love frankenstein (2025) so much #art
artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

A year ago I worked the disaster response for hurricanes Helene & Milton, only to be declared an enemy by the President for being queer and researching equity. So I wrote a book. And I became a teacher. Nice try jackass, but I’m still kickin’. 🖕 #resist #booksky #WritingCommunity #writesky

They'll tell you that the arts and humanities aren't practical and then read poetry at funerals and weddings, cry over films and search for meaning in ancient philosophy.
Surviving is one type of practicality, knowing why we bother is another.

Person: wow, you're a writer? It must be tough to come up with stories
Writer: it's not really. The story grows and demands to be poured out. Like a hive of bees living in your throat until you scream
