I’m just tired. Forever Dungeon Master/Relapsed Nintendo Fan/Wannabe Writer/YTP Enjoyer/One Piece Feed Lurker. No follow4follow, sorry. He/him.

#pretendpanel Despite listing some of my favorite narrators, I have no idea who would best fit my own works. But I’d go for one or two narrators depending on POVs, not individually casting every single character. Aim for a “someone reading to you” vibe over “big audiodrama” feel in most cases

I think I need to swap audiobooks for work. Getting a big collection of classic short stories/novellas means running into a formula published over months/years (so people had breaks from them) day after day. They aren’t bad, I could just use a palate cleanser.

Today’s “bored while work is winding down for the day” search: If the word “combo” comes from “combination”, why don’t we call them “combis”?

#WIPSnips as a celebration of finishing the red pen or hard proof edits of DEATH, DESIRES, & INNER DEMONS, we have the opening page of Chapter 1. I'm still finishing the cover, and won't reveal it until New Year's Eve... But enjoy the opening trauma! #WriteSky #BookSky #StandaloneNovel

Snapshot of Dark Mode Document: DEATH, DESIRES, & INNER DEMONS 

Chapter One

~ Miseria ~

      I hate family gatherings. Strike that, I hate gatherings of any kind and wish I wasn’t as susceptible to others’ powers. As I walked away from Donnar Halle, where at least a thousand of my family were celebrating Yule, I tried not to think. I’d been susceptible and vulnerable metaphysically since Claude died thirty years and six months ago. It got worse when Leighla was taken this spring, and even worse when my mother, Isabella sacrificed herself in June because I gained some of her power.

     I concentrated on the moment, the cold nipping at my cheeks, and the crunch of the snow beneath my feet. I cleaned off a wooden bench swing that faced the valley and was a good distance from the revelry. Dropping onto it, I huddled around my mug of coffee and mead while I took in the view. It wasn’t enough to banish the glimpse of the future I saw when Odin’s aspect of Fate triggered my power of foresight.

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner

Short timelapse of the commission I made for @khonri.com 👇🏻 I'm looking for new clients, too 🙋🏻‍♂️ Bills are piling up again and I have a few important deadlines coming up soon. I need help boosting this 🔄 #artcommission | #artsky | #ocart

Commission for @khonri.com 🙂‍↕️ I rarely get to explore these color combinations for work and I'm very happy with how this turned out! Also space backgrounds rock #artcommission | #artsky | #ocart

Digital fantasy illustration featuring a waist-up fantasy portrait of a girl holding a journal between her hands. She has long, rainbow colored hair, big blue eyes with a star in each of them, and has dark carvings / tattoos on her arms and chest. Inside them, there's dark, starry space - which is also the main background of the whole piece. She is dressed in dark purples. Around her, there are blank pages and a fountain pen floating.

Can we find some way to Morbius the mold terf’s stupid wizard show? Yes, it's a streaming show, but there has to be a way we can meme a bunch of out-of-touch yet terminally online executive producers into making a big, expensive blunder. These guys caved to the Snyder Cult, it can't be that hard.

I for one won’t be watching and hope that JK is in for a rude awakening. It’s also pretty crazy to be this overly confident about rehashing your already adapted books with lesser known actors.

From my #WIP A Conspiracy of Ravens Always fun the #SundaySnips @hookandquillpress.com #WritingCommunity #Writingprompts #Writesky #HQpress

“My divorce on grounds of desertion is in motion,” she told Halford. “He has a few months to be served them, which is highly unlikely has no doubt he’s somewhere in the India ocean smuggling spice, clothes or other dubious stolen contraband.”
“Then a celebration drink is in order.”

Use #SundaySnips and don't forget to include alt text. Synonyms, vibes, and variations on the word are welcome! Hosted by woodenvelt.bsky.social and Hook and Quill Press. The background is orange and red fall leaves. There is an image to the left of a yellow octopus stuffed animal wearing a scarf and black frame glasses sitting in the fork of a tree.

#SundaySnips As far as coffee goes, I agree that AC > PS Longer snippet. The group are taken to the MC's favorite spot to get a bite to eat for a last meal before the final leg of the journey. This lets him see their less proper eating habits. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #hqpress

All three faces lit up once they took a bite. Maxi let out a little chirp, wolfing down the meal in a way that signaled they were done with conversation until every crumb was gone.  Ginra tilted her head and talked as she chewed. “I know the spice. I just can’t pin it down.” She was taking a few smaller chunks and trying to analyze it, sniffing one and licking another. Shogum grunted at her before she went back to eating normally. Weirdly enough, the giant was the one with the best table manners, a calm smile on his face as he savored the meal.

“Kosoléan.” He said after he swallowed. “At least that’s the main one. Kicks the same way, anyway.” After another bite, he continued. “Don’t know how she got a hold of it. Even if she’s growing it at home, it must have been a pricey venture to get the seeds for the plants from the mountains to here. And that wouldn’t be enough to use constantly.”

“Ash ain’t the only one with trade secrets.” Toka said with a wink. “And that’s one heck of a tongue you’ve got on you, big man.”

“Years of travel.” He replied. “You get to know your favorites.”

Went and did this. I’ve been out canvasing for state senate/house and county-level elections for months, but the only races I can vote in are the statewide ones. Really hoping Louve can pull a an upset in the Senate race. 🤞

A sticker that says “I voted early!”

#FaveLineFriday The favorite words were the phrase “bird-themed cat burglars”. But I’ll cheat with a snippet. The favorite thing was an exchange from that group about branding cohesion, the use of the word “The” in villain/hero names, and the flow of words. Enjoy your vacation! ☀️😎 #writesky

"You're all named after birds. Not seeing the issue." He said.

"No, see, she's signing it as "THE Jay"." Firecrest corrected.

"It's a perfectly valid alias choice!" Jay shouted, storming up in her teal wingsuit. "Plenty of bad guys put "The" in their name! Hell, some of the heroes do it!"

"But it messes with our naming scheme!" Firecrest countered. "We all just go by the bird name, and you mess up the flow of it!"

"Besides, we wouldn't use "The" in casual conversation." Yellowhammer added.

"It sounds fine, I just need to go last. It's Oriole, Firecrest, Yellowhammer and The Jay!" She said, counting her fingers. "See? It flows just fine!"

"Yeah, but that's just because you've got the only monosyllabic name!" Firecrest argued. "It just feels out of place! Either all of us do it or none of us do, isn't that right, Null?"

#pretendpanel LOVE them. It’s my main method of enjoying books because of my job. It’s not a replacement for physical books; both have their own strengths. Different =/= Lesser. Voice work in general feels under-appreciated, but especially here. A good performance can really elevate the experience.
