I have a friend who deliberately 'ews' her yous. She also writes it as yew 🤔 when I asked her about it, she said languages are allowed to be changed to suit our personalities. I kind of like that idea 😄

This is me 💁🏻‍♀️ I am #stillediting 🤭 and mind you, my characters are not following my instructions. Just last night, Relario had an excellent idea that just had to be added to the novel 🙄 great idea, my guy, but now I have more editing! 📚💙 #writingcommunity #writersky #booksky #amwriting

ONE DARK WINDOW X ARCANE 👻 With the help of a ghost, Emma escapes from a prison for those with special abilities. With her morals out the window and her sanity failing her, she's set on survival, but there's a problem—she's lost her abilities, and the ghost now has them. #Bluepit #W #A #D #F #M 📖

None pictures are arranged in a grid. 1 A person sits on a rooftop overlooking a city at night. 2 A rickety wooden bridge in the mist. 3 A bloody hand holds a small pink flower. 4 A silhouette of a girl hugs her knees as she dissolves into smoke with an orange backdrop. 5 A girl stares in the mirror, a scary face with red eyes smiles back. 6 A woman in a white gown with her back to the viewer and a glowing orb of water before her. 7 A bright magic circle projects a beam upward in an ancient building. 8 A girl walks through a dark forest with wisps of fire surrounding her. 9 A monochrome picture of a semi-transparent girl and an image of herself screaming upward.

A Grieving Smuggler🚚 A Fugitive Mage🔮 A Turncoat Huntsman🗡 The Heist of their Lives. My debut novel, BLACKBLOOD, is releasing April 1. It's up for preorder on Amazon and B&N and is available to add on Goodreads now 🖤 #bluepit 📖 #ya #f #p

An image of the cover of the novel BLACKBLOOD by Kree Sullivan, surrounded by arrows pointing to it with its tropes: found family; enemies-to-???; blood magic; blood drinking; blood!; unapologetically feral lesbians; unapologetically feral enbies; one apologetically feral Cis man

A Grieving Smuggler.
A Fugitive Mage.
A Turncoat Huntsman.
The Heist of their Lives.

Teenage smuggler, Armina, never intended to inherit the Blackblood, a truck loaded with illegal magical artifacts. But when tragedy strikes, leaving her in charge with only her irritable ex-girlfriend for company and with the magic-hating Huntsmen on her tail, she's determined to follow in the footsteps of her murdered Captain.

When Armina discovers a fugitive mage hiding aboard her truck, dripping their black blood, she can't ignore their pleas for help. The mage desperately wants to rescue their mother from the Huntsmen's headquarters in the Western mountains, a mission Armina knows is doomed to fail, but one she can't ignore.

As they tear across a dust bowl wasteland toward the dark spires in the west, secrets from Armina’s past come into view, lit by the blinding headlights of the roaring truck.

Secrets that could endanger the mission, the truck, and her splintering found-family in the process.

Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear. #bluepit #bluepithype #a #f #q #amquerying 📖

Title wrath of a wildflower surrounded by blurbs that describe the book: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen's, two reals, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The Pitch: decades ago, the princes of Luci's realm cursed her before they left to takeover earth. Limiting the days she can cross realms to hunt them had made killing them difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know one of the mortals she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother.

Ryland finally had the job he needs at the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with his hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and minsters are real... and they are hunting one. They must decide how much danger they are willing to face for the truth.

Books it compares to: The Book of Azreal, City of God's and Monsters, and Throne of the Fallen

The playlist including Horns by Bryce Fox, Monsters by Ruelle, Control by Halsey, Whose Afraid of Little Old Me? And Look what you made me do By Taylor Swift, and Killing of the Night, HBIC and Happy Ever After by Gin Wingmore,

FRIEREN X MUMFORD & SONS 🏞️✨ A princess who's spent her whole life locked in a tower discovers just how much she's been kept in the dark when she's kidnapped by a wolfman. They must work together and make sense of her prophecy to save his people from hers before it's too late. #Bluepit #W #A #D #F 📖

Five pictures are arranged around a block of text on a scroll. The scroll reads "Found family featuring: an awkward assassin, a quippy gambler, a stubborn blacksmith, a stoic elf, an impulsive princess." The five pictures depict a grassy landscape with a setting sun, a stack of rolled up scrolls bound by string, a dagger and crown laid on the grass, a campfire surrounded by people with many stars in the sky, and finally a person standing on the edge of a rocky mountain looking out over a misty river and mountains.

The bookclub I'm in will be reading Mistborn: The Final Empire this month and next. I am so excited to have people to talk to about Brandy Sandy's work 🤩 Anyone else reading #Mistborn for the first time? #amreading #brandonsanderson #bookclub #booksky 📚💙

Thankfully they had their supplies with them 😄 the phoenix is not in danger of getting turned into KFC 🤭

In today's news, my characters happened upon an enormous underground library after being lost in tunnels for heaven knows how long. How would you feel if you met a phoenix as big as a house living here? #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #booksky 📚💙

At 1 am, I decided that I'd have a QUICK look at my current WIP for 15 minutes or so. I was super tired, so I figured I'd force out the last little bit of energy I had just to say I wrote. It's 4 am. It's FOUR in the morning, and I don't know what happened. #writingcommunity #amediting #amwriting 📚💙

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to get an editor too 😊

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Same! I have no idea how I'm gonna do it 😖 any advice? What's worked for you?

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Sounds like an interesting project 😄 I plan on sharing about my dark fantasy tragedy adventure.

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

That is good advice 🤭 stopping would definitely be the biggest hurdle haha

000

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

What are you planning on sharing? 😄 This was one of the first things I saw when I joined BlueSky, so I've been waiting 🤭

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I love this 😄 I'd love to incorporate this into my daily routine too.

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I would love to get an editor, but unfortunately it's just not in my budget. I'm from a third world country and what it costs to pay an editor a fair wage for my project can support a family for 2 months. Not to mention how long it would take me to save it up! For now, I'll just make do 😊🌺

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Today's editing included adding some talk about the justice systems in Rutenia, Thwartel, and Zuranji to my current WIP. This was not something that was in the initial planning 🤣 What do your characters discuss when you let them have free reign? 🤔 📚💙 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #justice

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

It's tough and it takes forever, but just keep pushing through. Something that helps me a lot is remembering the 80/20 rule. 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts, so focus on what's important 😊 I hope that helps!

Vee Bee - Writer @veebeewrites.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I'm about 60% through the final round of edits on my current WIP. I've been editing and editing and editing. Then, writing more and editing that too. Will the editing ever end? 😱🤣 Anyone else editing too? How's it going? #amediting #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers 📚💙

My husband hasn't read any of the Cosmere books (YET). I figure if he doesn't want to start with a book, I can get him started with the game 🤭 maybe you can do something similar 😉
