I tried to depict the difference between longing to feel sexual and attractive and the physical aspect of it. Autistic people struggle often with physical intercourse, adhd also so in different ways. #WritingDivergently #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I believe in kindness, and that is all it takes to have a functioning system. I am hurt and want to claim the narrative so people like me can feel seen. I am a probably a bad writer but still try because I believe stories matter more than perfection. #WritingDivergently #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

I didn’t want autism to be seen as the geeky unemotional person who doesn’t understand jokes. There are so many layers to it. And for the queer part, I wanted to show the brutality of being a child sent to therapy for being gay, the internalised homophobia, the self hate and insecurity.

Oh no, writer‘s block must be frustrating! Don’t force it. I am self publishing and the title is Barriers of Lies, a fantasy blending with sci-fi

Tell me you have autism and ADHD without telling me: I launched the #WritingDivergently thread on Bsky and then stopped and disappeared, then yesterday I re-posted again from series number 9 as if I had never been away. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #audhd

Now available! 🪾THE WITCH OF THE WOOD🏚️ 📖Novella 🖤MM Fantasy Romance 💀Breaking a Curse 🪾A Spooky Forest ❤️‍🔥Fast Burn 🏚️A Search for a Witch 😟Nervous x Confident Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of... Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Cover by @isthiseva.bsky.social
The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

#PretendPanel The honest answer: therapy. I have Alexithymia so I don't know how I feel. Externalizing it helps processing. But I see it like a steam engine. I burned grief to draft "Hell Is Work" and shame to make "Good Boys Don't Howl". Emotions are energy. Use it. #WriteSky #WriribgCommunity

However he is the kindest character. Even with great power in his hands, he worries about respecting the secrets of others, protecting the ones around him. He’s a cutie.

I think a traumamuffin sometimes can also be one who’s kind because of their trauma. Out if fear to replicate their trauma if they are not. Danny from Barriers if Lies is mine. He is confused about why he steps on his toes, especially around adult men.

Morning #writingcommunity and #poetry lovers 📚💙 Sometimes it’s the simplest poems that knock you over. This #poetrybrew is definitely in that category 🪡 “Separation” by W. S. Merwin
Separation

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

#AwesomeCharacters Most of my characters need hugs. Some of the MCs are the kind that need a hug so bad actually receiving one might break them a little bit, though. I do have Finn & Jax, in other books, who are rather huggable w/ dad-friend energy & would be comfortable in 'free hugs' t-shirts

Alenna faces her transphobic nemesis, a shadow person, and a guy who’s a jerk. Apparently. From my WIP. The #WIPSnips word for September 10th is "teeth" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I tumble outside, quick, he fires another shot, missing me, hitting the shovel which stays in place, if not slightly tilted.
I stand, jump as high as I can with the push of the air | burst out of my hands, and when my foot touches the tip of the shovel's handle, I use it to fly higher. Ilya shoots again, the shadow person grabs the shovel and tosses it away, yowling. I plunge on the ground with all my strength and my blast pushes them far from me, Ilya's weapon firing anywhere towards the sky as he flies and lands on his back. The shadow thing growls, muttering guttural words in a language I don't know.
My smirk fades away when a projectile hits my arm, burning like I've been marked with incandescent iron.
Blood wets my fingers, Lara giggles.
"I've been looking for this moment for so long, pretty boy," Boy?
She aims her weapon again at me and I run fast, but llya catches me and punches me on my face. I see stars and spit blood. My teeth are all there, "Fuck you!" I vomit those words as he tries to slap me but I parry his arm, grab it, turn and make him roll over me.
