An artist reached out to me on tiktok, and we were chatting, y'know being polite. Tell me why the moment I implied that I was an artist too, she ghosted me lmao This happens more often then you'd think

I've written 5k words since getting my laptop back today and I'm not close to stopping 😈😈 it's 11 PM and I'm brewing my 3rd cup of coffee for the day

My laptop is back!! She had a crack in her screen so it had to be replaced, but she's good as new now 🥹🥹 time to get back to writing 💻 #authorsky #writing #indieauthor

#LGBTQWriteAThon 10 My laptop has been out of commission for the whole week, and I'm only getting it back tomorrow (😭😭), so I haven't written or edited anything. What I have done is drawn a bunch, I've drawn a rough sketch of my next book cover, a bunch of personal art, and character concept art 🙂‍↕️

I've done a lot of writing-related stuff, accomplished a few goals, and sent out 6 auditions...so, pretty good week. I want to feel proud of myself. Then I see I haven't had a direct book sale in over a month, not even a free download, and it all feels pointless. I do my best, but trying is hard.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 9 Ziyaad's biggest skeleton is that the Gods rejected him as chief of his clan. He has to pretend to be the chosen one, bc impersonating a divine intermediary is punishable by death; and pray no one discovers his secret before he can figure out how to earn the gods' favour

i finished the fuckass draft #roanwrites

#LGBTQWriteAThon 8 While Ziyaad doesn't have a favourite outfit, he enjoys loose clothes that are breathable (bc he's from a farming village), and he has to have his serpent necklace Alfonsus is the total opposite, he loves flashy, form fitting and slightly sensual clothing, dripping gold, the works

#LGBTQWriteAThon October 8: I apologize, I totally forgot I didn't schedule this. I haven't felt great all week! What's your MCs favorite outfit? @rebeccafrostwrites.com #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

#LGBTQWriteAThon 7 Because Ephemeral deals with political intrigue, all of the characters wear some sort of mask. Ziyaad wears the metaphorical mask of being chief of his clan. When titled as 'the Usil', everyone has to see him as someone in control, who knows what he's doing and does it perfectly

#LGBTQWriteAThon 6 Ziyaad has a lot of anxiety around the gods' rejection of him as their intermediary. He fears that their rejection will cause suffering for the clan, but also has worries about not being a good enough leader in general bc he was the middle child; never meant or taught how to rule

“I collected bones from charnel houses; and disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame. In a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase, I kept my workshop of filthy creation." 🧪🫀⚗️

Ig while I'm unable to write, it's time to tackle the tbr 🫡 I haven't sat down to read in about a week because I've been so busy with edits and life #booksky

#LGBTQWriteAThon 5 My goal is to just get my laptop fixed before the weekend 😭🤡

Haven't written a word today because my laptop is...uh...struggling #writesky #authorsky #indieauthor

Writing is hard. Being an author is hard. Seeing books you worked hard on and be passionate about, not sell as well as you’d like, is hard. But getting emails from people telling you how much they love your work, is awesome.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 3 I spent more time revising and restructuring story beats than anything else this week. I wrote around 17k words, and only had 2 mental breakdowns over how shit I think my work is! It's productive but an evil sort of productivity. I hope everyone else's week went well 🥹

Finally got some work done on my novel that's been neglected a lot these last two months. Went to a queer writing group yesterday and, from a prompt, started a cute little ghost story. Aiming to make another small dent in the novel tonight. #LGBTQWriteAThon

#LGBTQWriteAThon Singer/Songwriter (shush) is about two idiots who get fake-engaged: one for money so he can keep his flat, and one for publicity and an album that might do better than his last. Six months, a few new songs, and they can part ways. After all, they'll never fall in love, right?

I really want one of those old victorian wooden writing bureaus but, as you can imagine, they are extremely expensive nowadays 🤡

#LGBTQWriteAThon 2 Ephemeral (title pending) is a mm slow burn romantasy with an accidental proposal, fake engagement, angst, yearning and eventual spice between a false intermediary of the gods and the heir presumptive of an Empire. This duology explores themes of revenge, grief, family & love 📚💙
