#WIPSnips - "Box" From one of the Echo Island Diary portions of The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle! Not the most stand-out on its own, but I wanted to post something, and also the "yeah, yeah" bit has a little of an interesting backstory in that it was inspired by some wacky letters my mom received by post

What’s in the box? What’s in the box, Josh? What’s in the motherfucking box? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Envy is my sin.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

If you're a new writer looking to publish your book, my biggest piece of advice is to do research into publishing, no matter whether you want to go trad or self-pub. And PLEASE avoid vanity presses and hybrid publishers that ask you to pay to publish your book.

Here’s mine for my historical fantasy novel Black Doe that comes out tomorrow - AAAAH! I couldn’t find any knotwork I liked, so I decided to create my own based on two of the creatures in the book. The kelpie is based on ancient carvings of the “Pictish beast. The pine marten is all my own.

Cover of my novel Black Doe. A fabric textured dark teal green background with subtle blood spatter sits behind knotwork symbols representing a kelpie and a line marten intertwined at the top right and bottom left. The title is central in large lettering with a knife bisecting the “o” of “Doe”

Authors: show me the book covers you made yourself, without AI. Here's one I'm particularly fond of. I drew and handpainted with watercolour. Did this for all my Borun-Ma covers except for one, that I had designed with free Canva elements in 2021.

Authors: show me the book covers you made yourself, without AI. Here’s one of mine. It’s not perfect, but when I look at it, it feels like it belongs to me, and I like that.

Welcome to August! Only one month to go until our 9th issue drops. Edits will be going out to authors soon (probably today). In the meantime, we can finally reveal the absolutely gorgeous cover, slightly revamped from our previous style, with original art by Tobias Roetsch. Ain't it beautiful?

Cover for issue #9 of Trollbreath Magazine. The original art is by Tobias Roetsch, showing a shuttle rising through clouds, dragging them along in it's wake, while in the sky above there is a planet with several moons. The colors are similar to a sunrise, with lots of oranges. The top text says Trollbreath Magazine, Issue 9, Fall 2026. At the bottom are the list of authors, and the editors.

i dont know how long i've been on bsky but i never had much track on my posts - rarely would i get a comment or anything. i do comment on some posts, if it's something that i find interesting

Artem Zakharchenko@kettanaito.com · 5d ago

When Bluesky first blew up, there was much more conversations and interaction with anything I, or others posted. Nowadays, people rarely comment. Is this the same for you? Have folks just moved away? I wonder what's changed.

I'm neither wealthy nor do I have a wife. I clean my toilets and feed myself. And still, for years, I've been rather prolific. I do acknowledge that not everyone will make the choices I made in order to be able to be prolific, I also acknowledge that this kind of discourse makes me feel like i'm a

If you want to know the secret to being super prolific, it's having a wife or wealth, so other people clean your toilets and feed you while you work.
