Since everyone is migrating here, might as well do a new intro post

Hi, I’m Alex! I write queer fantasy stuff, with my current project guided by @shelleyparkerchan.bsky.social

I’m a librarian, swordfighter, and history nerd with a love for problematic queer characters and deep worldbuilding ❤️ ⚔️

Lamassu are a human faced, winged bull creature/deity found in Mesopotamian cultures. Mesopotamia being a historical region where the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians lived over different eras. They're protectors who embody strength, intelligence, and freedom✨

A great afternoon of inspiring chat and support with great friends in the Brisbane Writers Crew.

I’m going on my first writing retreat today! I’ve packed my laptop, my sword, and my meds

Any advice from fellow writers??

Introduce yourself using three books you love 💙📚 💙📚

1 - Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

2 - She Who Became The Sun by @shelleyparkerchan.bsky.social

3 - The Jasmine Throne by @tashasuri.bsky.social

I woke up this morning questioning if writing is really the path for me, and if it was something I should give up.
Sure enough, first thing I saw was my bookshelf bathed in sunlight, with authors who’ve encouraged me highlighted. My bookshelf is positioned to NEVER see the sun.

Might be a sign?

As my first post, I’d like to announce that I’ve discovered the answer to solving all my plot holes - adding more autism

Stuck with characters? Add autism
Can’t figure a way out of a problem? Use autism
Lacking inspo? *Autism*

So far this method has been very effective!
