Did I mention Mara has toxic lesbians? Mara has toxic lesbians.

Highlighted lines:

"Her teeth found the neck of the beast; she bit for all the strength she had. Skin and muscle yielded to her jaws and the beast howled in ecstasy. It wanted this. Not just a fight, but a dance. A waltz of mutual destruction."

lines that follow: "To punctuate its need, the beast bit back as it raked along the nun’s shoulder, spreading cloth and skin alike. The nun could only moan into the flesh of the beast as she refused to let go."

Writers are funny folk. When I talk about Scrivener, I get a range of responses, but it's usually "I'm happy with the tools I use" Which is great! Do you 💕 But Mara would have never, ever happened without using Scrivener. It had way too many moving parts to juggle with what I was using. (👀 alt)

Showing a screenshot from scrivener for the Mara project. There are different icons beside each section which tell me how they factor into the story and who the point of view will be for that chapter.

Some of the same chapters as the previous screenshot, though this time I've expanded them to so the sections of each chapter. Each section (or scene) has its own title, which helps me keep track of how bits of story weave together.

Being a layout nerd for a moment. It was a nice touch to use pistols as the ornamental break.

Two mirrored pistols. I wish I knew guns better to know what these were. A Browning maybe?

I keep staring at these pages from Octavia Butler's notes. Feels like a good thing to do some writing practice with.

Pages from Octavia Butler's notes.

Note 1: Emotional Drive. Strive *always*--in all ways at all times--always for intensity. Cold or Hot. Hard or Soft. Gut-Wrenching or Deeply Stilling. Utter Intesity.

Note 2: Ten Pages a Day! The Time!!! Keep Your Word.

Note 3: Tell Stories Filled with Facts. Make People Touch and Taste and KNOW. Make People FEEL! FEEL! FEEL!

Question for writers and editor-minded folk: I'm seeing folks use this comma style more recently, though I grew up being told it was wrong. Can anyone shed some light? (this example is from Between Two Fires)

'the war began in Heaven; so let us try them with wars in their greatest kingdoms; and he rose through the wells of a king who ruled a mighty island, and blew pride into his mouth; and when this king spoke, he swore that he would have the crown of an even greater kingdom, which he would take with"

There is a red circle highlighting the use of the comma in the phrase "mighty island comma and blew pride into his"

The cover ➡️ The first page Mara is welcoming(?) folks in for a tale itch: prismata-press.itch.io/mara amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0H62FSYL8

The cover of Mara by Sophia Turner. A chromed gynoid is materialising in space between planets

“PROLOGUE > ANALYSING
The story of the planet Callias was one of refinement. Ore. Weapons. For the last few centuries, its factories had turned towards a different task: creating life. Androids who would become the height of potential and stand heads above humanity. The greatest thinkers. The most fearless of warriors. Honourable. Deadly.
It was on a day in Callias’ early winter that a breakthrough occurred. After countless attempts, life was finally summoned to fill a metal body. It was then, to the sound of the second pour of acid from the skies, an android blinked awake, her eyes twinkling as she calibrated to her surroundings. Her name meant ‘heavenly’ in a language few could remember, but it was not yet time to receive this name.
Instead, experiment HX-5691-A booted.”

Writing progress from 2019 vs 2026 Just kept plunking. (I didn't want to co-opt the art thread so I'm making a new one for writing)

It never occurred to me to ask for help.

Not once.

Who could ask for help when we're surrounded by so many
people so eager to give advice. To help. Or so they think.

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP?

The problem with a voice like mine is that it needs wind.

Time for a new intro! Hi, I'm Soph! I write books with lots of trans goodness. My first book, Machines of Consent, is a sexy trans lesbian cyberpunk about bodily and mental autonomy. My upcoming book, Mara, is queer space opera about human-ness, anarchy, and belief. Also, I bite books.

Me biting my copy of Machines of Consent. I have an amethyst wedding ring, purple glasses, curly hair, and a purple shirt.

You know, I think I like purple.
