The anxious urge to say "no worries either way" when you are actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way.

Both as a person and a writer.
I feel so fractured I…
I don’t know if I’ll be continuing with TTD.

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.
My #myth echoes me.
Never quite original.
Never quite the truth.

I was hoping to make so much writing progress this month, instead I’m experiencing some of the worst burnout I’ve felt in a very long time.
I’m trying, I promise.
My commissions are open! I really need to pay for my college, and shit is getting more and more expensive as the months go on.

I’ve been super busy and haven’t been able to write. But my mind hasn’t been on chapter 8, it’s on a modern fantasy AU that would basically be taking place long after the events of the Afallon project.
I might release an experimental chapter if I get the spoons to get it off the ground.
Girls just want one thing*, and it’s disgusting.

Again, I may have to push back chapter 8 another week or more due to the end of October being very busy for me. I’m also just so exhausted I’m running on fumes.
It’s coming, though, I promise. I’d love to be down with Act 1 by the end of the year.
I’m shooting for early November.
Definitely going to need that extra week for chapter 8, if not a little more. I didn’t realize how busy the end of October was gonna be for me.
Thank you for your patience.
Digital painting of a merman. He has fangs, blaring red eyes, and fins all over his pale body. His lower half is humanoid in shape; it is green and instead of a giant fish tail, he has an elaborate shaped pair of flippers. He has a tail that ends in the same pattern as his flippers, and his blonde hair is flowing in the water.

There’s a possibility I’ll be pushing the next chapter back until October 30th as I’ll be training at work, so my usual writing time will be shorter than normal. I want chapter 8 to be the best it can be, so apologies for the potential delay.
Repost this if trans people should have free boneless wings
What makes for good lesbian romance? WEREWOLVES, duh. @sadhbhgirl.bsky.social joined me for a romp through her new novel "The Wolf Bane." We talk the healing power of dark humor, researching werewolves, crafting character studies, and of course, lesbians!

And I have to be so careful talking about art or editors even here, the bots are also plentiful on bluesky.
It’s always either that or ‘I have some feedback I can give, follow me/add me on ___’
Brother no, if it was genuine I assume they’d just give it in the comment itself. Going offsite is begging to be scammed.
I need to get my Inkitt version caught up and I was thinking about doing a Substack too.
Wattpad is such a frustrating platform. I wanted to discontinue using it but a friend told me many writers post their stuff anyway so that if it gets ripped and reposted it can be reported with proof and taken down.
All I get are empty bot comments. :/

Warren is a restless troublemaker that finds comfort and security in Theon’s endless well of compassion and love.
Oíche and Nejaht must navigate their distinct distrust of others and perceptions of each other at first, but it’s a pair I feel will have well earned its bond by the end of the series.
I’m working on a webnovel that has a gay best friends to lovers pair and a lesbian enemies to lovers pair.
The gay pair involves a transmasc rogue and a pansexual paladin that is my obsession.
The lesbian pair is more warlock/ranger vibes but also explores demi/ace dynamics. +

Authors - need a cover artist? This pack has you covered (lol) and is a great starting point for getting human made arts for your writing!
Cover artist secured!
It’s going to take about six months, but I’m excited to see the end result.
Chapter 7 is complete and will release tomorrow after I’m done nitpicking it over my lunch break. A lot of talking in this one, but I’m happy to finally get to a character dear to my heart.
