OPEN CASTING CALL! Currently looking for voice actors for a Gritty Assassin Thriller Audio Drama Podcast! More details can be found on the CCC Page below! www.castingcall.club/projects/how... #voiceactors #voiceacting #castingcall #opencastingcall #voiceover #audiodramas #indieprojects
Because I'm lowkey a massive workaholic and want to experiment with new forms of storytelling, I am currently trying to adapt my novella "How Do You Free a Caged Bird?" into an audio drama podcast. Wish me luck, y'all! o7 #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky
I'm partial to the "Out of Character is Serious Business" variety where an outgoing character, or a playful one full of sass, becomes deadly quiet and serious when someone's REALLY stepped in it. Tranquil fury is criminally underutilized in fictional media. #writesky #writingcommunity
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! What's your favorite way to indicate anger in a character? Do they yell? Or go silent? Tense their shoulders? Grind their teeth? Does it vary for different characters? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
One of my friends pointed out that my author photo/voice actor headshot gives "Girl with a Pearl Earing" and I can't unsee it now, lmao. #writingcommunity #authors #voiceactors
Practically woke up this morning to someone on Discord glazing my character voice sample reel. If any of y'all need me, I'll be spending the rest of the day floating on Cloud-9! ^.^ #voiceacting #voiceover #goodvibes
It's been long overdue, but I finally made a character voice sample reel! \o/ It's nothing fancy, just a quick and dirty rundown of some of the character voices I can offer for various projects. Hope you guys like it! o7 #voiceacting #voiceover #voiceoverartist #samplereels #charactervoices

A vibes-based snippet detailing a character's struggle to retain coherence/sanity as he copes with losing his faith in humanity, among other things. I'm trying to level up ⬆️ my prose game a little bit. #writesky #writingcommunity #WIPSnips #WIP #booksky
The #WIPSnips word for August 1st is "coherent" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I've been working on a trial chapter for a low-fantasy concept that I'm fleshing out. Here's a little snippet of how it's going~ ✒️ 📜 📚 #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity #authors #WIP #WIPSnip #lowfantasybooks #fantasybooks

"In this world, there's nothing more dangerous than a broken man with something to prove and nothing to live for.” At the risk of tooting my own horn, I freaking cooked with that one. Major pop-off moment. #writesky #writingcommunity #summerofstories #authors

Currently reading: "Katabasis" by R.F. Kuang I'm trying to do better at reading contemporary fantasy novels and similar genre trade fiction to improve my prose a bit and to get a better idea of modern-day genre expectations. #writesky #writingcommunity #summerofstories

By some divine miracle, I actually have the #WIPSnips word in my snippet today! ("Assistant" is close enough- let me have this!) #writesky #booksky #authors #writingcommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 28th is "assist" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
In the Nightshade Case Files? Very much so! In the eyes of the Big Bad, Ezra is someone who turned his back on them, as well as the very things they both believed in. Soren likens the big bad to a creepy stalker ex-boyfriend. #writingcommunity #authors #writesky
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Is your protagonist someone's villain? I imagine they've made some enemies, inadvertent or otherwise. Tell me about one and how the protagonist appears from their perspective. (Avoid the big bad if possible) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Finally got off my ass and signed up for a library card! \o/ Currently going through the Libby catalogue like a kid in the candy store, lmao. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity
A re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty where she's a warrior who awakens from a 1000-year coma to stop a fae-themed zombie apocalypse. Musings for a dark academia fantasy involving demons. A deadly murder mystery game starring a burnt-out novelist. The list goes on. #summerofstories #writesky
27 | What are some ideas for stories you've had that never quite made it onto paper? Any monumentally daunting epics you'd like to tackle one day? Be as specific or vague as you'd like, vibes/crossovers and genre(s)-only welcome! 😊 #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
Hey, friends! I've uploaded another chapter of the Nightshade Case Files on #royalroad \o/ Link to read the fic below: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1498... #booksky #writesky #authors #fantasybooks #urbanfantasy #vampirebooks #webnovels
Yet again, I lean into vibes. Some may question Ezra's methods, but damn it! He gets results! #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity #WIP #WIPSnips #urbanfantasybooks
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for July 27th is "defuse" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
While I do love a genuinely well-designed and memorable book cover, I don't want or need anything too fancy, especially if something like sprayed edges is going to make the book comically expensive to buy in print. (I know I'm a day late on this one.) #writesky #pretendpanel #writingcommunity
Happy Saturday, #PretendPanel! With special limited edition print releases being something of an industry staple these days, how do YOU feel about special artistic embellishments on book exteriors? This can be alternate covers, special finishes, sprayed edges, anything above and beyond in print.
My relationship with visual art making is pretty complicated nowadays, so I don't really make stuff much anymore. Characters displayed: Kohaku (Painter of the Strange) Ezra Belladonna (The Nightshade Casefiles) Leon Graves (How Do You Free a Caged Bird?) #summerofstories #writesky #authors
26 | Share your character art and/or character inspiration! I was lucky enough to be able to comm two *incredible* artists here: @professoremily.bsky.social and @nushdeco.bsky.social. ♥️♥️ (See below 😁) #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
My main hustle along side writing is voice acting. And of course, if I get hammered by writers block, it’s nothing binge watching an anime or going ham on a single-player RPG can’t fix. (It’s research, I swear!) #writesky #writingcommunity #summerofstories #authors
25 | When you juuust can't find the inspiration or motivation to write, what other creative endeavors do you turn to? Drawing, painting, knitting, photography, music? Other hobbies? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
Ezra's a fun character to write, and his introduction was no different in that regard. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity #WIPSnips #WIP
Here's a #WIPSnip game! Show a snippet of your MC introducing themselves! I'll start!
If generative AI has no haters, then I have legally been declared dead.
"Absurdism and emotionally moving stories are NOT mutually exclusive." "Don't be afraid to channel from video games, anime, or whatever else gets you motivated to write." "Be weird! Boring-ass normies don't make history!" #summerofstories #writingcommunity #writesky #authors
24 | If you could go back in time to when you first began writing, how would you counsel your younger self? What advice or tips would you offer that you think would have made a difference? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
Not inherently necessary, but always a welcome addition. ...Unless the visuals were poorly made/don't suit the work, or were AI-generated, in which case, cut that crap out like a cancerous tumor. #writesky #writingcommunity #authors #pretendpanel
It's another lovely weekend, #PretendPanel! Today we ask: How do you feel about those extra artistic flourishes inside of prose books? What is something you would like to see more (or less) of on the page? Or, what are some artistic touches you've included in your own publications?
Going all in on vibes yet again. It's moments like this one where the influences from Bayonetta and Devil May Cry had on Ezra's character creation can be felt, lmao. CW: Violence and Swearing #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity #WIP #WIPSnips
The #WIPSnips word for July 24th is "cacophony" My partner was watching an e-sports thing, and the announcer kept saying "cacophony of chaos" so I just had to put this word on this week. My partner was not amused because it was driving him crazy. 😂 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I try to edit as I go, especially on days where I’m in a bit of a slump for whatever reason, and I’m struggling to write something new for a draft. #writesky #writingcommunity #summerofstories
23 | Describe your editing process. Do you edit as you go? Churn out that first draft and set it aside for a couple weeks/months before reviewing? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
