I've always had an edgy streak, but between my last few ideas for book projects and developing a newfound penchant for metal screaming in music, I might've gone full-on mask-off edgelord like a Fire Emblem class promotion... 💀 Anyway, back to horror novel planning. #writesky #writingcommunity

In some more positive, non-stress-induced impulse purchases, news: I got shortlisted for a lead role in a small indie project, and I'm currently fleshing out an idea for a queer-vampire-horror novel I had in a sudden flash of inspiration. \o/ #voiceactor #writesky

I read "Don't Let the Forest In" over the summer. Really good read! Love me some queer horror, ambiguous endings, and unreliable narrators!

Currently attempting to anyway. It's a project I'm still trying to get off the ground, but I'm writing, directing, and acting in an audio drama adaptation of my novella "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?" #writesky #booksky #pretendpanel

In this day and age of plummeting literacy rates, I just think it's great when people engage with prose fiction in any capacity whatsoever. Audiobooks are an incredibly valid and great way to engage with fiction, period. #writesky #pretendpanel

Watching Funimation dubs when I was in middle school was ultimately what kick started my interest in voice acting, and Ouran was one of the first anime I got into at the time. Needless to say, this news stung. RIP. #voiceactor #voiceacting

I'm partial to the "Out of Character is Serious Business" variety where an outgoing character, or a playful one full of sass, becomes deadly quiet and serious when someone's REALLY stepped in it. Tranquil fury is criminally underutilized in fictional media. #writesky #writingcommunity

2. I am an edgelord, I read a lot of horror, and I write a lot of dark fantasy and GRIMDARK. In one of my books, I had a mousey and shy guy become a full-blown serial killer because he got possessed by a demon that slowly eroded his inhibitions, sanity, and sense of self.

A vibes-based snippet detailing a character's struggle to retain coherence/sanity as he copes with losing his faith in humanity, among other things. I'm trying to level up ⬆️ my prose game a little bit. #writesky #writingcommunity #WIPSnips #WIP #booksky

Weeks had passed, and Sven still remained in the grips of a restless depression and hatred for the world. Most days, it was hardly a trifling matter to compartmentalize the madness, to put on the persona of a dutiful Earl’s son and carry on like he wasn’t dead inside. However, some days weren’t so kind. Some days, the sea of anger threatened to drown him in the undertow, and every utterance he made to the contrary felt like briny ocean water forcibly poured down his throat.

That lazy afternoon, the young lord read through a novel he had recently bought in a desperate effort to distract himself from nihilistic musings regarding human depravity. He didn’t care if the novel was a work of classic literature or a piece of tawdry pulp fiction. Anything was fine as long as it was a distraction. He’d sooner read pages from the dictionary or an overly dry medical textbook for fun than sit idle with his thoughts. He sat in a red velvet armchair by the mansion’s library window under the light of the midday sun, wishing that the cosmic body’s rays would rekindle some semblance of lost warmth in his weary soul.
