Me kicking my feet and giggling when I wrote about this dragon shifter dancing with a fallen angel who also looked like a dragon.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

Participating in the “writefest” this month ofc, but as I’m away this first week of November it’s been slow going. Hopefully afterwards I’ll be able to bounce back. 🫡

Other than that Belial book 2 is being seen by an editor currently and I’m in talks with my cover artist!

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

I made a meme for my life

Meme with Anakin and Padme

First panel, Anakin: I've been drawing some of my characters
Second panel, Padme: From a story that's published and people can read now, right?
third panel, Anakin doesn't speak, but smiles cryptically
Final panel, Padme: People can read the story now, right?

Hey I’m a queer nonbinary author currently writing a supernatural dystopian series!

It’s about a genderqueer person and a demon rebelling against a tyrannical government.

Every time I'm writing my characters using herbs and stuff, I always gotta check myself because 9 times out of ten I subconsciously got this herb knowledge from Warrior Cats.

So what's next?

I'm going to read through what I have of book 3's draft since it's been several months since I touched that one too. Then I'm going to lock in and finish the first draft next month. ^^

If I'm successful I'll probably take December off. LMAO

✨Riley✨ is in Reverent @rileydaemon.bsky.social · 21d

Generally I am SO glad I decided to do this last round of edits after stepping away from the book for several months. I was able to fix a lot of the things in the plot that I felt were weaker.

✨Riley✨ is in Reverent @rileydaemon.bsky.social · 21d

Very exciting morning for me, but I finished all my personal edits for the second Bringing Forth Belial book! Now I just have to send it off to an editor. 💕

Due to working with demons I don't actually get nightmares anymore, but once every few months or so I'll get a hyper-realistic unsettling dream that I'll wake up from with a headache. #witchsky #demonolatry
