I just realized we have pinned posts now so, hello!
I'm an author of sapphic fantasy! I'm also dabbling a bit in game development. I'm currently working on my third manuscript and surely the third time's the charm right?
My DMs are always open for other queer fantasy/fiction fans 💕

I'm reading Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and I really want to know, did Suzanne Collins spend these years perfecting her writing or was the original trilogy horribly edited down? Because if it's the latter, I think it's time to release the unedited manuscript

I hate how everyone sees my dog and assumes she's a doodle. That is a pure bread standard poodle that I got from a family friend with too much money and no impulse control, how dare you 😤

I love how oddly specific Japanese folklore is. Imagine telling a friend you were visited by the pillow flipper and they say they believe you because they recently saw a flying parchment yokai
In #JapaneseFolklore there is a #yokai known as makuragaeshi, which translates as 'pillow flipper.' This creepy phenomenon is caused by a ghostly child spirit believed to haunt rooms. If you sleep there, you may wake up with your pillow flipped over, or even find it down at...

The adhd urge to let my first draft rot because the inefficiency of rewriting something that has already been written makes my teeth ache

I love when it gets warm out and the bear that lives behind my house comes stumbling out of hibernation with her bedhead and tries to get into the garage. I love her

🤔 Should the bad guy be the MC's father?
🥱 No, too cliche.
😌 The MC's father should be the bad guy's most devoted ally who only regrets opposing his daughter when he's watching her die.

It often seems as though we're recording these events in the hopes that the next generation will be the ones to say "enough is enough." We keep waiting for a chosen one, but this is not that kind of story.

#SFFChat The thing about my characters is that they're always resisting the wrong thing. They reject family and closeness when they need it to heal. They fight to get out of places that they blame for their problems while ignoring the real problems. For my wip, it's about resisting your own heart.
#SFFChat Q1: What does resistance look like in your wip/story?
Interpret this however you like (as a hypothetical, as it applies on a personal level, or on a societal level)!

I have about as many ideas as I have migraines.
Which is to say, I'm in constant pain.

Why is everything called an "app" what happened to "programs"? Remember when computers had "programs" now software is all called "apps". I hate it. Apps are for phones and tablets. Programs are for computers.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Can I just say, the Unity essentials tutorial is incredible. I have paid for programs that we're this detailed. Everything is explained so well that there's no opportunity to get lost or confused, even with how crowded the interface is. And it's free.

It breaks my heart how much I used to love the rain and now it gives me migraines. I used to sit in the grass and imagine that the rain washed away all of my problems. Now I sit in the shower and pray for the meds to work

Heavy bass really should be illegal. Some of us have migraines and there's no way to get away from it when they're cruising through a 15 mph zone. I'm so nauseous 🤢

I'm gonna be just short of my writing goal this year, but it's for a good reason. I realized the reason my last chaper isn't working is because it's too similar to another scene, but I have a great idea to fix it without getting rid of my favorite parts. But that does mean rewriting a good 6k+ words

It took me a long time to figure this out as well and I see people asking this question again so:
What's the difference between YA and Adult?
The biggest thing is themes. Are the challenges and character development more relevant to teens or adults?

I have a sapphic Dracula retelling planned (and by planned I mean I've already started writing it) and I'm so excited about it. Then I have a somewhat less fleshed out plan for a sapphic enemies to lovers about rival Queens. There's always so much to write and so little time

It fascinates me when trad pub authors complain that they have to work a full-time job on top of writing. Especially when you find out they're making 40-50k a year. That's a living wage in my area. That's my dream.

Well, now I'm caught in the position where I can't decide how dirty this book should be. If it's romantasy, but it's like 40% romance and 60% everything else, are you expecting fade to black or full scenes?

How are everyone's December/Year end goals going?
I have another 10k words to write to meet my goal for the year. Plenty of time to make myself proud 😊

You don't have to write a lot, but go write something! 10 words might sound like nothing, but it's 10 words closer to finished. You just get lucky and find your rhythm.
