kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I finished mv typo hunt today, so decided to treat myself to doughnuts and a book from my TBR shelf. How do you like to treat yourself? #writingcommunity #booksky #doughnuts #Dungeoncrawlercarl #trb 240
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I'm currently finding small formatting errors in my writer's proof copy. I guess im not as close to finishing as I thought. Any interesting typos your WIPs? #writingcommunity #booksky #writingmemes #indieauthor 280
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 27/05/2026These are some of the vibes I was hoping readers might get while reading my upcoming book, Thirteen Down. Does it seem like something you would want to add to your TBR list? #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor #wipwednesday 140
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I am finally revealing the cover to my first book, Thirteen Down. The art and video are both by @alexwhitebean.bsky.social and I am pretty happy with how they turned out. #writingcommunity #booksky #coverart #coverreveal #darkfantasy 2130
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Finalizing some stuff for the cover of my upcoming book Thirteen Down with @alexwhitebean.bsky.social . I'm not quite ready for a front cover reveal but thought I'd share this little teaser. #booksky #writingcommunity #coverteaser #wipwednesday #indieauthor 070
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 08/04/2026What's in the box? Even the staff doesn't know for sure, but once the tournament starts, it will be unleashed. Are the other players or the Unda-Realm itself ready for the beast? Find out in Thirteen Down. Second slide is what is on everyone's minds as the games begins. #writingcommunity #Booksky 060
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 08/04/2026This light in the darkness doesn't represent hope, Pyrah will be heating things up in Thirteen Down. Can the other players survive the infernal inferno? Art by missjaymiedylan on IG, the artist behind Truelove inc. (For mature readers) #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor #fantasybooks 080
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 07/04/2026For the upcoming tournament the recruiters have brought in heroes and villians, titans and monsters-- and Skaz? Find out how she fits into everything in Thirteen Down. Art by @biginsanehappy.bsky.social the creator of Barb as well as Haunted Safari #writingcommunity #booksky #goblin #indieauthor 050
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 07/04/2026To the man with the hammer do the other contestants look like competition, or simply nails that need to be pounded? Find out in Thirteen Down. This snippet goes with the character art that I posted earlier. The inspiration for them is this prop I made a while ago. #writingcommunity #booksky #snippet 031

Find out in Thirteen Down Art by @alexwhitebean.bsky.social who writes and illustrates My (Para)Normal Life, and also draws coloring books. #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor 063
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/03/2026What would you do for freedom? Trifixie knows the only thing standing between herself and escape is the other players. Can any of them stand to this master of eldrich energies? Find out in Thirteen Down. These cuffs are what inspired the character #writingcommunity #booksky #wipwednesday #snippet 051
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Some play for survival, others for riches. Gorok, he is in the Thirteen Down for carnage. Will the other players survive his dark desires? If you saw my last post you already know how to root for an orc, so drop a 🤘 for Gorok. Art by bratty_seki on IG #writingcommunity #booksky #orc #fantasywriter 140
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 23/03/2026In Thirteen Down, the hand motion that people are doing when they are cheering for the orc contestant is actually just ASL for orc. Thanks to @michellefranklin.bsky.social , the author of "The Orc who Saved..." series, for demonstrating the sign. #writingcommunity #booksky #orc #asl #signlanguage 183
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 18/03/2026This isn't the kind of place to hold back and Ashclaw is going to get to let his primal instincts out. The bastelie is going to be prowling the arena, are the other players opponents or prey? Find out in Thirteen Down. Bastelie are catfolk, so here is a cat. #writingcommunity #booksky #catsky 031
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 16/03/2026The arena of Saulrosh Dun is home to many creatures, including the Burrow-cur. Packs of these bat-faced hounds stalk the shadows waiting to pick off any unsuspecting players during the Thirteen Down. Art by Jaymie Dyland the creator of Truelove inc. (For mature readers) #booksky #writingcommunity 162
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 11/03/2026This isn't a fight, to some of the players it's simply a hunt for the most dangerous prey. What will happen when the competition ends up in Sir Reginald's crosshairs? Find out in Thirteen Down. #booksky #wipwednesday #snippet #writingcommunity #fantasyauthor 040
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Most players want to avoid death, but to Rigoria it's just a recruitment phase for her master plan. This Dragonfolk is going to be raising more than just the stakes in the Thirteen Down. Rigoria art by @alexwhitebean.bsky.social of My (Para)Normal Life. #booksky #necromancer #fantasyliterature 193
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I decided to jump on the #namestack trend, it was a fun way to look at my collection books in a different way than I usually do. What is in your namestack and which letter was the hardest to find? #booksky #booklover #bookchallange #fantasyliterature 191
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 05/03/2026A time saving tip for authors: make sure that you are formatting your book in a standard size the first time around, unless you want to spend an afternoon reformatting 300+ pages. How are your WIPs going? #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #writingtip 030
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 04/03/2026If you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself. That is why Rilness is entering the Thirteen Down. This tournament is simply a grand arena after all. Do the other players stand a chance again the gladiatrix? Find out in Thirteen Down. #booksky #wipwednesday #writingcommunity #gladiatrix 040
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I thought I'd kick things off with the first characters mention in the book description; the gladiatrix. Here is Rilness as imagined by @biginsanehappy.bsky.social the creative mind behind the Barb and Haunted Safari. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 051
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I'd like to hear the title of your #wip and also what it means. For mine it's the name of the tournament that the book is based around, where thirteen players are brought down to the Unda-Realm to compete for the Drow's amusement as well as their own survival. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting 130
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/02/2026The artists I commissioned have returned some great stuff inspired by my upcoming book. Next week I will start start introducing you to the the world of Thirteen Down through the work of those artists and some snippets from the story itself. Random doodle #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 030
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 18/02/2026How hands on are you with the design of your #wip ? Today I'm working on a mockup of my book with my cover artist and calculating the size to try and figure out what spine design will look like. Cover reveal coming soon. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #wipwednesday 1100
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 11/02/2026How is your #wipwednesday going? For me today a big step in my writing journey; putting the manuscript into InDesign and formatting everything. It turns out my book will be around 300 pages, which is a little more than I expected it to be. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip 010
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Does your #WIP include the use of any footnotes? There is at least one point in my upcoming Thirteen Down where I know the readers may need a little extra context so I will be using them, but definitely not as frequently as Richard Adams. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting 130
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Hi. Current I'm working on a dark fantasy book revolving around a death tournament called Thirteen Down. 110
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 05/02/2026During my edits I noticed a repeating error that now has me rechecking my punctuation. How do you stay in an inspired headspace while doing the more menial writing tasks? I listen to artistic people creating, like BrokenTerrain, to keep my own creativity up #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 270
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 02/02/2026What do you do during breaks from your writing? I've been doing a lot of editing on my book this week, so I decided to take a little break and play a horror Guess Who game @alexwhitebean.bsky.social made for me. #horrormovie #boardgames #writingcommunity #horrorcommunity 170
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 29/01/2026What do you listen to while you are working? I'm back to editing my book today and it just so happens that my favorite horror podcast, Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks, released a new episode. Perfect timing. Current word count 70 689 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #horrormovies 060
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 28/01/2026On this #wipwednesday I'm taking a break from editing to plan out my cover of my upcoming book, Thirteen Down. Do covers affect what you read? While reading this one most of my coworkers thought I was suddenly very interested in Ikea catalogs. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 020
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Does the weather affect the way you write? With the current wintery conditions we are experiencing, I'm definitely getting a lot of my editing done. Current word count 70 607 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 0130
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 20/01/2026As an author I wonder if my readers will see my characters the same way I do. I've provided some local artists with descriptions from my upcoming book and in the coming weeks I'll be sharing what they have created. Anyways here's a random fish I drew. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #anglerfish 161
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Its my day off, aka editing day, and the newest 'Legends and Lectures' podcast just dropped. @michellefranklin.bsky.social is speaking with the master of the Forgotten Realms, Ed Greenwood. I guess I know what I'm listening to as I fix up my manuscript. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 070
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 14/01/2026What strengthens your writing? I got a new book to help with my writing/editing process. I'm really loving the lists of locations and sensory details associated with them. Hopefully this makes my upcoming 'Thirteen Down' a stronger book. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting 260
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 12/01/2026How many times do you think you have you reread your #wip ? I never realized how much of writing a book involves sitting around and rereading the manuscript, repeatedly looking for any errors or places that need improvement. Current word count 70 421 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #catsky 3120
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Nice, I can see how changing a character's origins would lead to a lot of editing. I hope that goes well for you. 000
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 09/01/2026How's your #wip going? I think I may be done mine- not the editing, the formatting or any of that stuff, but I think I finished writing the whole story that I wanted to tell. There is still a lot of work ahead, but I'll start that tomorrow. Word count 70 357 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting 1100
kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 08/01/2026When you write are you trying to reach a specific word count, or do you just write and see where it takes you? The story seemes to be naturally winding down and I think I am seeing the end of my book in the near future. Current word count 68 234 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #shelfie 030
