“He could believe that even calling it "s*x" was incorrect, because it wasn't about anything so shallow as physical desire. They wanted each other in the way of flesh wanting to knit itself together over a wound.” The way I audibly gasped at this line. #BookSky

I'm talking to a photographer about a creative way to do author headshots that are interesting but still obscure my identity so I can remain a ✨Mysterious Anonymous Queer Author of Degenerate Filth✨ and she is VERY excited for the unique challenge of it and I have to admit ME TOO. #Skywriters

Added about 15 new words to my list of muted words and let me just say: game changer.

Writing is nothing more than a sprint in the opposite direction of the vacuumous maw of your own personal abyss. It’s also looking like this when your mom asks if you’ve written anything lately… 👁️👄👁️

Nothing much more humbling than watching my wonderful beta readers graciously correct the 347 typo and grammar glitches I somehow missed even after my 800th read of my own book. (And beta readers if you’re reading this, ILY for it.) #SkyWriters #BookSky

I know. Everything sucks right now. But… Please breathe and then breathe again and then be loud and make art because to stop doing any of that is to step aside and make more room for those waging war against us. Because they won’t stop. Good morning and please try to find some joy today, friends.

SOS I have character art. I repeat, I have character art. He’s perfect and beautiful and tragic and sweet. I can’t wait to introduce you to this sweet guy before he gets absolutely R U I N E D in the best ways 😈 (Brb now gotta figure out how to promote a book… *desperate cry/manic laugh emoji*)

Did you know Google Sites lets you host a custom domain website for free? User friendly, flexible, & not Google branded! No e-commerce options but that doesn’t bother me. Great resource for writers who want a simple, clean website on a budget. Mine is a work in progress: www.akasher.com/home

It remains okay, and even important, to find joy and celebrate good things. 💚

I've heard that there are some problematic ARC readers out there who have been caught pirating books. Has anyone made a list of folks to avoid? I'll be starting to think about ARC readers in about a month, so I'd be grateful to anyone who can steer me in the right direction based on your experience.

If you aren’t either making or supporting protest art right now WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING

Last night I got a rough sketch preview of the character art I commissioned and I swear to god an actual tear fell out of my eyeball. The way I am going to WEEP when I see the full cover art…😩

I was writing a scene on my phone and just looked up and realized that I missed a whole ass work meeting. Just completely missed it. Now ask me if I’m mad about it…

I just figured out the ending to this short story I randomly started working on recently and it connects sooo well to Book Two. #BookSky, do you enjoy those kinds of little snippets set in the same universe or are you mostly just into the books? 🤔

FYI #SkyWriter and #BookSky friends, if you’re interested in getting ludicrously short and infrequent emails from me about my debut and future projects, drop your info here: 📩 bio.site/akasher Here’s what you can (not) expect from my “newsletter…” 🧵

How am I reading this draft for the 80th time and still finding typos and missed commas 💀💀💀

I don't know I'm more inclined to listen to the poets these days, they make more sense than anyone else and perhaps they always have.
