The #WIPSnips word for February 6th is "sixth"

Not the most exciting excerpt but I swear I’m trying to get back into snippet posting 😩 here is Cal’s AI being trained on socialization without him even knowing 😮‍💨

ALIVE COMING 2026 By the sixth week, the videos change. They are longer. Children running across playgrounds. Adults sitting at tables, speaking casually about nothing in particular. Conversations with no raised voices, no obvious stakes. I struggle more with these. I do not understand why Herb enjoys this game. He never explains its purpose, but he appears pleased when I play it with him. Herb leans closer and hums sometimes, faintly, when I answer. Seven weeks have passed. I do not know what the game is for. Still, when Herb looks up from his tablet and says, “You got time, L1?” I always stop.

Book Review Requiem of an Aria By Ray Leigh 4.75 stars I would highly recommend it to readers who enjoy shows like Supernatural, or books centered around urban monster hunting and investigative narratives. The characters are compelling, the story is focused and engaging, and it left a strong impression. This is very much an author I’ll be keeping an eye on going forward 👀

Snippet & NEW ART?!?!

Cal doesn’t understand desire the way humans do… until Vivienne. When love starts rewriting the code, nothing stays the same 💙

#SciFi #Romance #Art #RomanceBook #BookArt #WriteSky #WriterCommunity #BookSky #Scifi #BookCommunity #ScifiBook
Alive Coming 2026 Her lips solve confusion. They dissolve spirals. They replace the unsorted unknown with warmth and stillness and certainty. A moment my mind can go blank and all that matters is how much she can be satisfied before it all crashes over.

I had the absolute privilege of drawing one of my favorite FMCs again! I present this dangerously sexy baddie from Shadows of the Crimson Crown: Amina 🔥 I will never get tired of drawing her. She’s powerful, dangerous, and impossible not to love 🥰

📕 📕 BOOK REVIEW 📚
The Serpent and the Shattered Sword by N. A. Betts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Full review on goodreads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

#WriterSky #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Fantasy #EpicFantasy #FantasySeries #BookReview #Sapphic #BookCommunity #WriteSky #FantasyBook
This was a standout entry for me and easily my favorite of the series so far. If you enjoy epic fantasy that prioritizes character growth, layered mythology, and long-term payoff over instant gratification (with a light romantic thread and no spice 👀) this book is absolutely worth picking up.

“There’s still plenty of things we can do… if you want,” she adds softer, almost coaxing. “Is there?” “So many.”

From my current WIP (ignore me channeling my feelings around identity through the lens of an Android 😂)

#SciFi #Romance #RomanceBook #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Scifi #BookCommunity #ScifiBook #WIP
Humans tie intimacy and identity together—man, woman, something between, something outside of those limited binary terms. I am none of these. I am not a man. I am not a woman. I am not anything adjacent to it or abstract from it. I am nothing like them. I do not know what category I belong to, or if a category exists for an object such as myself. But perhaps it matters to humans like Vivienne. Perhaps they want those shapes reflected back at them.

What makes you human?
For him, the answer is her.

💙Human x Android romance
💙Corporate AI conspiracy
💙A story about personhood & identity
💙She teaches him humanity
💙He teaches her care

The #WIPSnips word for December 7th is “empty”

Just a lil snippet of my AI Cal having a slight spiral 😂 he’s totally NOT panicking, totally 💀

#SciFi #Romance #Art #RomanceBook #BookArt #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Scifi #BookCommunity #ScifiBook #WritingPrompts
ALIVE Coming 2026 It occurs to me that I do not know what would please me. I do not know if anything can. The neon pulses outside the glass door. I watch the wash over the balcony, over the empty street, over the corner of the couch where she sat. My mind replays the entire week in reverse—every place her hands touched, every question she asked, every moment she stared at me like she could see something I cannot. I sit there until the first thin smear of morning light threads through the blinds—pale, muted, colorless compared to the neon that ruled the night.
