A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column: 1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky 2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights 3. Two hands reaching towards one another 4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar 5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up 6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky 7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog 8. A hand covered in glitter 9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance 10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile 11. A black woman screaming 12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds 13. An eye turned to show only the whites 14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air 15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle None of the images are my own. They are all sourced from Pinterest

Black cat napping next to my leg, on top of a gray and white cozy blanket. Laptop on my lap ready to be written in!

A grassy knoll with trees and bushes illuminated by a pale sunset. Mountains in the background dusty with light and mist. Sky filled with fluffy, heavy clouds.

Oh it isssss a beautiful WeMA day! Hey neighbor 👋🏼

I have a q! As far as wiggle room for context goes - should the author bio count as part of the 250-350 word count goal? 🙈

Me on @reviseresub.bsky.social #10queries day:

1. Take notes on the great general advice 📝
2. Find some more writing folks to follow along with 👯‍♀️
3. Take it easy, don’t lose your mind

Also me on #10queries day:

IS THIS ONE MINE??? 🚨 WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE????? 🤞🏼 MAYBE THIS?! 😰

Image of Edinburgh Castle on a cloudy day from far below, moody and lightly dark

waking up in a city of writers with my writing group is so dreamy I can hardly believe it

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

not true but kinda FOR REAL 😅

Taking a break from my long-term project to plan + plot for the shiny new Project #2 feels a little bit like unfaithfulness 💀

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Omg! Look at this! We can all lose our minds on the 24th together 😅

Places I’d like to live pts 1 to 3 ⛅️ bottom came out wonky, top right is from a tutorial, and I’m happy with them all!

#5amwritersclub

It is actually a mausoleum 🫣 I live directly across from a cemetery, and the lighting was too perfect

If autumn would move along and be done with all this unseasonable 75° weather, my writer’s heart would be content 🤍
