Snippet from To the Sky, currently chapter 7 but we'll see what the edits think

#Kickstarter launches in July! I'll set up the pre-launch very soon~

black background with white text that reads: James thumped the table and Tessa jumped in fright. “Perfect! Now, I have things I need to be doing. Jonathan, I was in the middle of giving Tessa a tour of the ship. Would you mind picking up where I left off?” Jonathan stood with his tray. “Sure thing, Captain. Let me just take care of this first.” He walked away towards the trash and bussing table. James turned to Tessa, brimming with joy at the fact that he’d just pawned her off on someone else without a fight. At least, he’d hoped. She frowned at him. “You were supposed to give me the tour. Now you’re sending me away?” she said. Her voice sounded hurt.

To the Sky character references, James, Tessa, and Craven. Can you guess who their face claims are?

black background with white text that reads: The next job was an advertisement for the Winderian navy. Windfall, the capital of Winderia, was also the home to the Winderian navy; it made sense they’d contract soldiers from there. There was no freedom in being a soldier, though. James wasn’t interested.

I've changed the publication date for To the Sky from September 2026 to March 2027 to make sure the Kickstarter backers get theirs before anyone else

This should be the last time I push the date

Does anyone else use Spirit City @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social? The winter update added these cute ears and I'm obsessed

It's my productivity app where I do some pomodoros to get things written

If you use Spirit City, show me your avatar!

I started drafting Ribcage early, so I'll be decently through it at the end of November. It's a story about a dreamweaver that goes on an adventure with dragon hunters.

It has:
🐉dragons
⚔️dragon hunters
💭dreams
💔stolen hearts
💪strong female lead
🐻bear mounts
🐕loyal dog

My cover artist asked me for information on the flag of the pirate ship. I coincidentally just finished writing this scene~

#WritingCommunity #amwriting
black background with white text that reads: Then James unfolded the cloth he held in his hand and brandished it for Tessa to see. “It’s our new flag!” he exclaimed. Tessa giggled. “I see that.” The new flag looked like a newer, fresher version of the one Tessa had just folded except a silver dagger stabbed through the center of the rose. It was intricate and she wanted to trace the seams with her fingers, but refrained. The cloth was thick enough to take a beating in the sky, but she still thought it might be too delicate to touch. James hooked up the flag up to the flagstaff and ascended it toward the sky. It flapped in the wind, curling and uncurling. He stared up at it with a wide grin on his face. “Isn’t it perfect?” Tessa looked up, too, and smiled. “It’s great,” she said.

I've decided to push the publication date of To the Sky to September 2026 so it can go through one more round of beta readers.

I'm currently on chapter 23 of 35 for applying the first round of beta notes. I'll be done by the end of the month.

I heard from my cover artist today, too.

My friend released the 2nd book in his series today!

It's a dark fantasy about a magic system driven by love/hate and the MC who works through his hatred of his enemies

I adored it. Even better than the 1st book! I'd check it out~
