Need a good book to curl up with in front of the fire this winter? The perfect gift for that special spooky someone this holiday season? I’ve got a book for both occasions 💀👻🖤 #booksky💙📚 #📚👻
For today’s #freefriday have a look at the #artbook I ✨finally✨ finished after at least a year. Still have to decorate the box & put #trinkets in it, but the #drawing of the inside is done 🫠 all 200 pages. I’ll be posting it to Allyson's Art Stuff when it’s completely done. #fantasyindiefebruary

I mean it’s kind of hard not to put some part of yourself into the #characters you #write even if it’s a minor thing only you would know. And sometimes it’s totally an unconscious thing that just happens. #fantasyindiefebruary #vitapersequens #morsobliviscens #booksky💙📚

Didn’t have time to #write anything new today, so here’s the only #snippet in #vitapersequens or #interim that has the word bittersweet in it…although both stories have plenty of the feeling itself. #fantasyindiefebruary #booksky💙📚

If not for the #apocalypse #Flit and #Teagan would be a typical teenage #couple (aside from him being a runaway and her being a ghost…okay maybe not). #fantasyindiefebruary #booksky💙📚

Any #theories on who they might be? I’ll give you a hint, you’ve met Grim’s if you’ve read #morsobliviscens 🫣 Teagan is only in #vitapersequens and #interim, but he’s smitten with #Flit pretty quickly🖤

I was told by 2 people that they were going to “hold me to” the #homeimprovement projects and #writing, so between that and being stuck inside from the ice and #snow, I’ve gotten more done in the last week than the rest of the month combined 🤣 #fantasyindiejanuary #monthlywrapup

They've mattered to us since we crawled out of the swamp and stood upright.
Stories, and all art, is why humans are human, what we exist for.
We eat, we sleep, we fuck.
Why?
All to make art. It's the meaning of human life.
Now? It's how we remember why we eat, sleep, fuck, and fight for our lives.

Why do you think stories matter, especially now? #writingq #WritingCommunity

More like a director I think.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?
Does that change depending on the circumstances?

For Free Friday we’re moaning and groaning this week. Words cannot express how much I hate being cold and wet. Or static in everything. Or being stuck inside. Ugh. #winter #spring #weather #rant #isitspringyet

She has like, 5 now and has only used the one she started with. I don’t know what started her snatching them, and I don’t know if it will survive editing, but I think it’s hilarious.🤷🏻♀️🤣 #vitapersequens #interim #fantasyindiejanuary #characters #booksky💙📚

I’m sure I changed some other things here and there, but these are the 3 that stand out the most between the outline and draft 1 of #vitapersequens and #interim. #fantasyindiejanuary #morsobliviscens #writersky #booksky💙📚

Memories are especially important to Flit after what she’s gone through. She loves sharing them with her new friends and making more with them too🖤👻 #fantasyindiejanuary #morsobliviscens #vitapersequens #interim #booksky📚💙

Since there aren’t really any notable #animals in either of my #wips, I thought I’d just introduce our IRL #pets June & Bug (8), Milo (3), and Ahsoka (6). They’re all spoiled, obviously. #furbabies #fantasyindiejanuary

For this #saturdaysnippet we turn to page 24 of #vitapersequens and #interim ; funnily enough, both sections are talking about people not even in the scenes themselves, but you’ll see them both later on, for better or worse. #fantasyindiejanuary #morsobliviscens #booksky💙📚

For Free Friday, I’m sharing my other hobby #art. Mostly #photography but there is some #drawing and #painting. And #bookbinding which I’d love to get back into. I haven’t posted on Allyson’s Art Stuff in a while, but I’m working on adding more recent stuff soon.

Harsh but fair.
Using gAI is peak loser behaviour. 'i only use it for..' Loser behaviour. 'its just for...' Loser. Behaviour.
So is supporting a project you know has used gAI by the way.
Don't be a loser.

I probably could’ve done more or done some for other characters, but I didn’t want to give too much away 👀💀👻 #fantasyindiejanuary #morsobliviscens #vitapersequens #interim #characters #booksky💙📚

Since I’ve already done some #aesthetics for the characters and teams in #vitapersequens I decided to do this one for the overarching #story 💀👻🗡️ #fantasyindiejanuary #booksky💙📚

For today’s #snippetsaturday I went to the 17th page of #interim and #vitapersequens and scrolled to the bottom. Which one catches your eye the most? 👀 #fantasyindiejanuary #booksky💙📚
