The 1st series is planned, but my characters have a tendency to hijack my narrative and veer off in different directions. So while I can stick to the plot, the way we get there can be messy. 😝

I've got a crazy plan to do 3 connected series, with 5 books in each. What I end up with is anyone's guess. 😂

It's an excellent idea, but I know me. My demand avoidance is already growling at me over the concept.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

I'm neurodivergent w/ neurological issues & I'm running with so many interconnected plot lines that I'm exceeding my own organizational capacity. So I'm making that up as I go, too. I joke about weaving/storytelling being related sometimes but it's not really a joke.

I love that! I've only got about a year and a half in and I'm having to change up my method to make it work for the long haul.

This right here. And that's one of the reasons I'm writing a whole ensemble of characters. I'm going to be writing some of them for a very long time. Others, not so much. Some we only ever see from other people's perspectives, or a reliable(ish) narrator. 😏🤭👀 #WriteSky

It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

#QueerPrompts #secret Very. My 1st book is strategic straight bait for roughly 20-something chapters. 🤫 ...and then gets progressively gayer as it goes on, with (good) het-cis ppl trying to figure out what to do. There are hints dropped, but the moments of revelation range from hilarious to awww.

Yeah, I definitely could have, but at the same time? I couldn't. There's a bit of messy vengeance happening in my books, though. #cptsd #writesky
One of my favorite things about myself, is that I didn't end up a monster. I could have used all of those traumas as an excuse, but I didn't.

No, my doctors know there's something more that's wrong with me, but can't rule out enough other things to make the diagnosis.

This is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply? You lose a grade. There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

It's not the fun, exciting part, but there's a decent amount of cozy-cuddly time in Club Moonrise. That vibe follows through to Hunting Season too. At least, for the ones who aren't involved in the hunts. 👀

Maybe there is nothing wrong with you - maybe it is just really difficult to exist within a system that wasn't designed to support a spirit like yours.

Elisabeth Wheatley converting to catholicism and editing the sex out of her books makes my ex-catholic self want to write more sex into mine. Or maybe I'll make it more queer. Or both? Hmmm... #WriteSky #BookSky

None of my characters could bear being me for more than an hour, tops. My physical limitations alone would be awful, and I think only Ramsay could deal with the contents of my brain without snapping. 🤷

So obvs I'm back to editing because working on book 2 is shifting & expanding my view of the flow. Some itty bitty details need to be pulled out of book 1 and moved into book 2 because: Reasons. I'm so tired. Must sleep. #WritrSky

I was so close to letting the ADHD win, and I'm so glad I held back. The impulsive side of my brain wanted to charge ahead with turning the "no really, I think it's done" draft into the ebook. I declared, "No more edits! It's done!" 🤣🤣🤣 #WriteSky #BookSky

Ramsay & Freya are shamelessly oblivious about their own nudity. Ramsay because he doesn't give a fuck, Freya because she grew up feeling so confident & safe with her club fam. And I mean, they're shifters, so it's helpful to be so comfortable in their own bodies, right? 🤓

Imagine being "worth" BILLIONS of dollars and still being dissatisfied by your life. Still wanting/needing more. Of anything. If you can buy literally anything but you're still not happy there are only 2 solutions. 🤷 1. 💀 2. Give it away. No really, just fuckin try it, see if it helps.

My gummies are starting to work n all I can think of is how much someone needs to compile and publish a book listing every awful AND embarrassing thing Mango Mussolini has done in his whole pathetic life. We must not ever let our descendants fall for this shot again n also make it petty AF.
