Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

More on my Writing Science Fiction/Afrofuturism course with @kundalinisteve.bsky.social and why it matters so much right now, especially during Black History Month. youtu.be/a_oI01NH_dA

Some friends ( @shdws-in-my-pgs.bsky.social & @librarymelancholia.bsky.social ) and I are going to be buddy reading Someone You Can Build A Nest In soon. I got so excited that I pulled out my makeup for once to do a look inspired by the cover! #booksky #monsterromance #horrorromance #horrorbook

JUST PUT THIS ON MY EREADER SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!

I wrote 878 words in book three of the Celestial Saga as chapter eleven comes to a close. This chapter was so much fun to write as it expands the lore, introduces some quirky new characters, and gives some characters an upgrade! #amwriting

Do what I am doing today... I am avoiding the outrage machine.... Life has too many beautiful things in it for someone to divert our attention from what makes this planet so gorgeous and great! Don't just stop to smell the roses... take in the whole fragrance of the garden!

#WIP update: I've written 40,000 additional words, 17 new chapters I split this first book (of a planned trilogy) in two, and focused on fully developing Coming of Age, Slay the Monster, Southern Gothic Horror, and Romance (Love Triangle) storylines prior to the time skip. #writing #horrorsky

#HorrorWritersChat I’m a lot of things, have lived a lot of lives, write nothing but horror, keep coming back to curses as a way to think about intergenerational trauma.

For me, horror means honesty. It peers into the places we'd rather not look but really have to. Sometimes, something says boo back. But we face it. #HorrorWritersChat

a very awkward reminder that I’m eligible in the fan artist categories for my 2024 work

Received the new book by @nnedi.bsky.social today. Very excited to read it. May have to stop the one I'm reading to start it.

📚✨ On my journey to sharpen my writing skills, here’s what I’m currently reading and listening to! Every writer should carve out at least 10 minutes a day for journaling, or for learning how to keep those creative beats flowing. Consistency is the key. #writers #writingcommunity

If I had to recommend 3 things to writers (at all levels), I would start with these 3 (with options for adding more): 1. Be persistent. 2. Be curious about the world, people, history, everything. Expand your horizons. Curiosity is your soil, your ocean, your rock, your air. 3. Never stop learning.

A horror story that nails the gothic atmosphere of stories of yore. The divided mind. How do we know what's real, who's real. Is it you or me? How do we form a self and how far one could go to make sure their identity stays unchallenged. by @derrickboden.bsky.social in Weird Horror Magazine
