Transferring all my works to Ellipsus!! I was skeptical of trying yet another writing site at first but my main problem right now is straining my eyes and the theme settings are so helpful. Also they're anti AI and the only complaints I'd have are things they're set to work on~ excited to try it!

Don't worry, I'm still around and safe from fires so far! Summer is always rough especially with this disability but it's the smoke and anxiety that's keeping me stuck bed 🥲 I better get the biggest case of writing zoomies in the fall

Hey I just wanna post here and I'll be posting on my fandom blogs too, I very much support and encourage alt text but am unable to safely consistently do it myself. Posting even a screenshot takes a lot out of me, making alt text hits the gas for brain fog. However feel free to add on my posts!!

New WIP about a single dad and the son he picked up off the street, both had been abandoned for being omega children. Fluffy and found family, not sure who the love interest for Siren is yet but he'll be unconventional and a little broken too 😊 Really wanted to write something wholesome ❤️

The inspiration to write hit me today, so have a snippet from my m/m #omegaverse #WIP tentatively called Two Bros and a Baby that I just busted out like 2.5 chapters for #lapiswrites

As soon as Leo was introduced, Kae’s mother shoved her own son aside and started to dote on him, endlessly asking about his comfort and offering drinks, food, and favors.
“Mom, you’re crowding him,” Kae lectured her with a huff. Though he didn’t have romantic feelings towards his friend, what alpha wouldn’t be uncomfortable with someone else hovering over the omega carrying his child, even if it was his own parent?
“Dear, Dear, look at how annoying your son is,” she called out to her husband before turning back and rolling her eyes at him. “Really, Kae. What’s wrong with me fretting over my grandchild’s little father, huh? Who else is going to? You??”
Any tension that might have still lingered at that point melted away as Leo burst into a fit of laughter. These people weren’t so scary, after all.

Absolutely WILD to be going through old stories I've written (and hardly ever completed) and seeing like how much my writing has evolved. Like, I'm sure I've made this kind of post before, but like I spent 20 mins on that DND story just trying to get the opening paragraph to the impact level I want

Lapis Love @lapislove.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Rereading a DND character story I'll be reworking and came across my favourite part I forgot about: My druid has a suitor that is painfully persistent, so she turns into a panther and charges at him to send the message to fuck off. Would LOVE to be able to do that irl

It's come to my attention that I *can* in fact publish on Kindle as well, and as skeptical as I am (plus I do not like Amazon!!) I know everyone loves their Kindle so... Setting up for this one serious book lol

Lapis Love @lapislove.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Hehehe realized there's nothing stopping me from starting other ebooks on my publishing site. After Soul Piece comes out, it's free game! Short stories (esp omegaverse) will mostly be directed towards Smashwords and possibly Kobo

The thing about being an indie writer is even when your book is written, edited a thousand times, beta read, edited more, formatted, and submitted to be published... That's not the end of the work, and there are little things to do nearly every day

How paranoid about being scammed am I? I will message strangers featured in a 'service's' testimonials to ask if they really worked with them. How correct am I to do it? Always 100%. Follow your gut and always ask questions, everyone!

Now that Soul Piece is on pre-order, a weight is off my shoulders and I'm writing a bit of one of my other stories, Sugar Sweet Contract. I really *should* be working on some fanfic since it's been ages, but I wanted something light that was still being grown rather than press play in the middle lol

I'm thinking of also making my book available through a direct exchange through ko-fi for the e-pub if there are people who don't like the platforms they can get it through or want it for a specific e-reader. Idk if it would be a popular pick but it's nice to have options

Two days after hitting publish for preorders, 6/14 suppliers still don't have it in their sites... Starting to wonder if maybe they just don't have the ability to have something for preorder and will just go live the day it's available Physical proof book is being shipped to me though already!!
