Hey Bluesky #writers, spread the word... #WriteStuff leads a #WritingCommunity chat on Tuesday at 9:00 ET|6:00 PT - join us! Our topic will be: Myths and Legends

Hey there! I'm Aimee, I draw dark fantasy/sci-fi illustrations, write stories and novels, make websites, have big Opinions, & like dark af jokes. I'm here to uplift others, shitpost, and have fun. I recently released a gay robot novella... You should check it out. TheWarmMachine.com 🤖

@alexfromawen.bsky.social Oh! I just remembered to remind you about showing off your tattoos!! We must haves them!

#QueerPrompts 22 I clearly love Ash (the frenemy in Starelic), so instead of focusing on the obvious, I’ll mention a SUPER unexpected one: Tess — the “popular” girl! She’s honestly so fun to write & shockingly adds something to the dialogue & interactions. She spices it up! #WritingCommunity

#WIPSnips “money” Inviting the frenemy & friends to an end-of-year ball is definitely off the table. But they might just crash it anyway… 💃🪩 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors

Had to repost. Dutch Typo 🫣 Been too long! Back to Isaac and Skye today. This #WIPSnips comes from one of my favourite scenes in the book. On a trade post, they encounter a couple from Terra, Isaac's destroyed home world. They're great side characters (and a nod to my Dutch background)

Maytra — the robot caretaker to Veyla/the FMC in Starelic #CharacterDesign #Robot #Art #WritingCommunity #Writers

Me, considering my book cover: “But is it COLORFUL enough!?” 😆😂 #WritingCommunity #Art

𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑪: 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔 ✨⭐️✨ “I’m Veyla, the Starelic, after all. If something’s broken, I’ll fix it! If it’s doomed, I’ll un-doom it. And if fate says otherwise? I’ll argue. Loudly. With explosions if necessary.” 💖 #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writers #Sapphic #YA #SheRa #LGBTQIA

Venyra Vespera — the Primordial scientist Veyla (the FMC in Starelic) was cloned from 🧬 Not bad looking for being 211 years old (although that’s quite young for a Primordial)! #Art #WritingCommunity #CharacterArt #Writers

Taking a break from Isaac for today's #WIPSnips, which comes from my WIP. This snippet comes from the first chapter of my latest book. My new MC, Ess, has been really fun to get to know. I think I'm finally settled in her voice, sarcasm with a side of scathing wit.

#WIPSnips Feb 21 - "Whim" Of course it has to be Fish. The literal king of doing things on whimsy and gut feeling. 👑 Of course that's what Nico loves so much about him. 💞 (tw smoking maybe?) #WritingCommunity #Romantasy

#WIPSnips “whim” I do have the word “whim” alone, but it’s in a spoilery area at the end, so “whimsically” it is! #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WIP

Here’s the updated book cover (print version, and with space for the back bar code)! #Art #Starelic #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #BookCover #Design #CoverReveal #Romantasy #SheRa #HorizonZeroDawn

Finally finished the illustration for the new book cover design I decided I wanted for Starelic (since I wasn’t totally happy with the last)! Spot Nim, the red-haired girl, starting to go invisible from the legs up. Really had fun with this one! #Art #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WIP #SciFi

OMG, @alexfromawen.bsky.social ‘s She-Ra fanfic, Déjà Vu, was SO adorable!!!!! 🥹🥰 Allleeexxxx!!!! I’m so glad you shared it with me! That was SUCH a good idea to write this about that particular moment & the life that led to that glimpse of the future we saw in the show! Sooo sweeeet! 😍

“…was just giving herself a final check in the reflection of one of the waterfalls…” - @alexfromawen.bsky.social Imagine being able to do this! 😌

“Whoever said ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ didn’t cuddle enough catgirls.” - @alexfromawen.bsky.social #SheRa #FanFic #WritingCommunity #Writers

Progress so far on my new drawing I may use as the illustration for my book cover… #WIP #Art #SciFi #Romantasy #Sapphic #WritingCommunity

So, a friend of mine is currently reading my manuscript, & they pointed out that they were mispronouncing the name for a bit. 🙈 Just curious how you guys might be saying the name Starelic in your heads! (To be clear, it should be “star-relic.”) 😅 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WIP

Me working on my silly, lighthearted, humorous sci-fi romantasy while the world burns around me… 😅 #WritingCommunity #Writers
