Our 11yo has made a very elaborate map for a fantasy novel he plans to write. He was proudly showing me it today and telling me how now he can get started on the book because he knows the world and where all the pinch points and conflict would arise from the geography. Then he paused, nervous.

🥇 Mariette! She has sass for days, loves messing with people (Edwin), and loves being ✨ dramatic ✨ 🥈 Edwin because (I'm so sorry) funny things happen TO him. And it's mostly antler mishaps. 😂 🥉 Reginald is more a sweet bean, but he's got some funny moments. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Let's all be a little bit cryptic today! In one sentence or less, what's the biggest lie your character tells themself? Be as vague as needed to not spoil anything. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Edwin actually would apologize profusely and try and help clean up. While he hates being perceived, he fears any excuse the townsfolk might have to call the guards and haul his homeless tail to jail. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters We haven't done a hypothetical in a bit! So: Your character is in a store when someone bumps into them, spilling their own fruit everywhere. Does your character: Get mad? Help them clean up? Steal a piece? Other? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

i understand the instinct to wrangle these creative transmissions and control the outcome when you connect to them. thats so much raw power in our human hands and it can be scary, and one way of making it feel SAFE is to wrap it up in irony or only sample a half measure. buckaroo, STAY OPEN to it

Edwin doesn't, and that's his entire problem. 🙃 His closest friend pre-plot is Oaky, the semi-sentient tree that's also his house. But Oaky is still just a tree. The only person Edwin has is Ms. Plucker, the local stoat apothecary who buys the herbs he collects. #AwesomeCharacters

well, Beauty & the Beast-inspired queer cozy horror with disability, period-inappropriate romance novels, & a touch (🤏) of monsterfucking queer cozy fantasy set in Ohio with a tired immortal who just wants to die, ghosts but not like you're thinking, & chatty plants bookshop.org/beta-search?...

E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood. The cover is blue, paler in the center, darker at the edges, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze and the tagline, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."E.M. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits. The cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers against a starry sky, with the tagline, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome..."

I love how it's national read a book day and almost none of us (at least on my corner of the timeline) remembered to market our books. Which are available for reading.

🦌 Edwin can't read. 🫣 🐰 Reginald loves adventure novels! Journey wrought with peril and courage. (bonus points if there's a romantic subplot! 💕) 🦊 Mariette is a fan of mysteries and noirs -- suspenseful, thrilling, but with happy endings. #AwesomeCharacters

#QueerWritersChat Q5 Thanks for the chat! My novella, The Witch of the Wood, is coming out on October 6th! It was edited by @ottersediting.com! It's a spooky MM fantasy romance! Cover by @isthiseva.bsky.social Universal: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of...

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

A5: I dunno. I'm still working on my silly deer wizard book debut. It has lots of magic in it, whimsy, cooking and eating food, fireballs, and Edwin constantly wishing he had a pillow to scream into. 😂 #QueerWritersChat

A4: Bold of you to assume I've ever made it that far. 🥲 Vagrant has a NaNoWriMo draft, but I'm considering my current draft to be the first. My shelved epic fantasy has like...a dozen drafts. 🫣 It was my first book and it evolved along with my skill as a writer. #QueerWritersChat

A3: I mentioned printing out my manuscript to read through and mark up with pen, and I recommend that to others as well. There's something about looking at paper that helps me see bigger mistakes than a screen. Plus, I'd rather drip tears on paper than my laptop keyboard. 😌 #QueerWritersChat
