Pretty! I love my vanishing point. That Twilight is 😍😍😍 Also Robert Oster’s inks. Blue Water Ice is my go to blue—but love the saturation and depth of LoF! How’s the sheen on it?

Gentle reminder that if you read @uncannymagazine.bsky.social through Kindle Unlimited, you need to actually open issues and flip pages in order for it to “count” for subscription dollars. Keeping us on your subscription list doesn’t get us paid!

Lol that was mine this morning.

Good to see @aychao.com and @genevievecogman.bsky.social on my mother's TBR pile ☺️

Wow she has great taste 😌. Also Guesy List is so good and creeeeepy!

A dark glass desk with a monitor and laptop on a standing desk with Cassandra Clare’s Swordcatcher on a bookchair and lots of tchotchkes like small ceramic ghosts and a skelefloof creature with books and a red thermos and a framed map on the wall.

Share your desk Sunday!

I finally cleaned my hazard zone of a desk today ready for a Monday writing session so what better time to share a pic! What do you have on yours? #amwriting #procrasticleaning
