Practicing my Author Face. What do you think? 😂 👀

#WritersLife #WriteSky
A photo of me, an author, aka a pale-skinned white girl with chubby, ruddy cheeks and auburn hair. I sit in profile to the camera, my eyes comically wide as though I've seen something quite shocking. My hair is done up in a combination high bump and topknot, inspired by 60s atomic punk meets Gibson Girl Victorian. My outfit is a loose, bell-sleeved, button-down green dress with a dark red flower pattern, though the photo only shows from mid-chest upwards, as it is a profile pic. I wear a large black metal necklace with snake-like chains of metal creating large loops that hang to mid-chest from a dramatic choker-style collar. Just underneath the collar of the necklace, I have pinned a small pink bowtie with an eyeball in the center. The overall effect is very green (I also have green eyeshadow and red lipstick), very dramatic, and looks like I'm auditioning for a Penny Dreadful, but maybe one set in the 1960s.

Not as old as some, but still pretty decrepit. 😂

Dropping a hey, hello and a hey-nonny-no to all my bweeps! (Bluesky + peeps = bweeps and yes, that's canon 😂)

Been a hot minute since I popped on here (literally, pretty sure my brain melted & re-formed from this heat). Have a picture of my cat & I'll catch up on posts this weekend! 💖

Pic of a very silly black cat sleeping upside-down with his paws reaching above his head as though he's doing the YMCA. His back leggies are flopped to the side while his belly points to the sky and his head & upper leggies are completely upside-down. This cat clearly has no spine. Those YMCA leggies look like they're cheering you on, even while he is entirely unconscious. Meanwhile, his belly fur is soooo soft and fluffy looking. He is a short-haired cat, so the fluff looks very luxuriant and rabbit-like in its softness. You could sink your hands in that marvelous belly fur for days...assuming you have blender-proof fingers. His little face is smooshed into the couch, chin to the sky, fangies blepping, whiskers whiskering, and eyes cracked juuuust a little bit, watching the camera with sleepy suspicion. He looks entirely too comfortable and clearly needs some snuggle-time harassment. Luckily he's got two highly visible nip-nops on his lower belly that are perfect for poking.

Romance movie night!

If You Were The Last
Anthony Mackie & Zoe Chao

11/10
SO SWEET, definitely recommend!

A well crafted storyline with paper maché & 8-bit backgrounds give things a fun aesthetic for this sweet, gentle scifi-dramedy. Bring tissues & poptarts, and watch out for chicken poop!
Movie poster for If You Were The Last, starring Anthony Mackie & Zoe Chao. Poster is blue & purple tones, depicting the two stars laying on the ground looking up at camera. Their faces are next to one another, bodies pointing in opposite directions. Text for the film name is in large white lettering with a Nasa style rocketship zooming out of the A in Last.

Screenshot from a chat service. First message shows a picture of a black cat loafed right in the middle of a bathroom doorway. Text underneath reads "Omg. You were barely out the door & I turned around to find THIS". Response: "Hehe, enjoy your Klingon!". Reply to response: "He has been fed and shouted KUPLAH! when I put the kibbles in his bee."

Interrupting? Me?? Noh! (Says he) 😁
A photo of a black cat, taken from above. The cat is laying on his side on a green-patterned cushion. His front leggies are stretched out with the little paws flexed. His head is tipped backwards & he is looking up at the camera with a lazy, contented expression.

Ehehe, well if you ever need inspiration pics, I have plenty of my naughty little gremlin! 😁💖
A black cat lounging, face towards the camera. There is a hand under his chin, giving him scritches, and his eyes are closed in bliss.

Hahahha! Well then here is your cat tax for the evening. My little gremlin, causing mischief!
A photo of a black cat perched upon the arm of a sofa. He is sitting with his butt on one side & his front paws hanging slightly over the other. He is looking over his shoulder at the camera with big green eyes. He is clearly up to mischief!

Hahahaa! See: Guy N. Smith's entire works. 😂 🦀 Mutant crabs, but still. (It's an old pulp series from the late 70s & the books have the most amazing covers!)
A screenshot showing 6 of Guy N. Smith's series about killer crabs. Each cover is a variation of a giant crab looking very angry, with glowing red eyes & waving pincers. Covers are done in the old 70s/80s pulp style with hand painted art overlayed by dramatic text. Text is red (like the crab's eyes), slighty swoopy (a scifi swoop, not a romance swoop), and raised slightly (you can feel this under your fingers when you pet these books, very smooth). Book titles are: Night of the Crabs, Killer Crabs, CRABS: Human Sacrifice, The Origin of the Crabs, Crabs on the Rampage, & Crabs Moon.

This is one that is *very* much still in progress, so pardon if I go a tad rambly. XD It's a science-based magic system, but the magic is also partly intuitive. In the protag's case, she is too young to know much about the science part, but can get pulled in when machines 'talk' to her.
Story excerpt from @TheLadyKwiller's WIP working-titled, "I Hope You Get Scurvy". Excerpt reads: The irony was, I hadn't even *meant* to stow away. I'd only gone onboard to look at the cargo machine. One minute I'd been up to my eyeballs in gears and magic, devices whispering things to me about 'force ratios' and 'lift capacity', none of which my 11-year-old self knew anything about, and the next I'd been snatched up by an irate shipmate, shaken like a dog, and promptly thrown overboard.

Also...my timeline feed has a sense of humour apparently... (See screenshot). 😂
3 back to back bluesky posts. Post 1: depicting a horrible gelatin monstrosity that looks like something out of a 1960s housewife's nightmare. Text reads: "What in the screaming hell are they up to in new zealand?!" Response: "I think about him every day still, and it's been weeks." Post 2 reads, "Telling tourists that this is our national food in the NZ subreddit." Post 3 is from the Endless Screaming account and just says "AAAAAAAAAAH"!.

Happy Pride #LGBTQWriteAThon, folks! Look at me posting before 3am, woohoo! This is a 2-in-1 post for: Goals & First Lines!

What happens when a young gear-witch gets distracted by ship mechanisms & accidentally sets sail with them? Read & find out! 😂

#Booksky #Authors #AmWriting
An infographic for the #LGBTQWriteAThon happening from June 1-30. This post is for @TheLadyKwiller to share her June 2&3 prompts: Goal for the month + First Line of current WIP. Goal reads: "Continue progress on 2 adventure series & pull out the necromancy manuscript to get back to editing! First line from working title "I Hope You Get Scurvy" reads: "I'll have no stowaways on my ship, you little rascal! Over the side with you and get back to town before your father sees you missing!" And with a heave, the lanky, muscled form of the First Mate tossed my flailing, screaming, 11-year-old body over the side and a fair distance out from the ship.

Happy Monday, #WIPSnips folks! So I had to get creative for this one, committee was hard!!

Anywho, meet Amara, her brother Ambrose & his werewolf husband Paul! We love Paul. Poor, poor Paul, and poor, poor Pauls' pants. 😂😭

"Are you sure? It's rather...informal," she asked him softly, surreptitiously fixing her skirts and finger combing her hair as fast as she could. He shrugged. "We have breakfast meetings all the time during negotiations. I don't see why this should be treated any differently, *especially* if he's coming to court my sister," Ambrose gave her a sassy little head tilt and a grin as he teased. She flushed. "Well then you should probably warn Paul," she settled herself into a perfectly ladylike pose, turned slightly towards the doorway for best effect. "Warn me about what?" Paul asked, eyes narrowing. Ambrose gave her an exasperated look. "Honestly, you're going to give him a complex," he complained. "Warn me about *what*??" the werewolf repeated anxiously, his refilled coffee cup hovering in the vicinity of his chin. And then a dragon walked into the room in the guise of the most handsome man any of them had ever seen, and the werewolf dropped his drink in his lap"

One more for the 6/1 #WIPSnips before I turn myself off and back on again (sleepy time!).

What happens when a thief gets caught in a dragon's personal library? She falls down, of course! Now she has to deal with a broken ankle *and* an angry book wyrm.

What will Aislin's mistake cost her?

Only a tiny bit late, but here is today's #WIPSnips post!

What do you do when you find your big sister in tears after a man has just kissed her? Draw a knife, of course!

If only April had waited to find out why Liza was crying, cuz it sure wasn't from that kiss! 😬

#Romancelandia #Authors #oops
An infographic with a text excerpt for the June 1st #WIPSnips challenge prompt. The prompt is "ankle". The WIP snippet belongs to @TheLadyKwiller. Text from the story snip reads thusly: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?!" April's voice shrilled in a fury Eliza had never heard before. She pushed herself off Callum's chest, looking over his shoulder at the younger girl. April's face was vengeance rising. "YOU MADE HER CRY?!" To Elizabeth's utter shock, April reached down, lifted her skirts and yanked a wicked looking hunting knife from a sheath at her ankle. She held it as though she knew what to do with it. "LET HER GO THIS INSTANT, OR I WILL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!"

Love this! Heikala has a similar one that's a vampire vending machine (as in it vends blood, not vampires, though that would be hilarious). We have a print of it. Clearly, we need to get this one to march, right @fairylogic.bsky.social ?
A screenshot showing the watercolor art print made by the artist Heikala. The art print is entitled "Midnight Snack", and depicts a person of medium height dressed in a hoodie and slacks, looking into a vending machine full of blood bags.

Looooove Marjorie Miller! I have Queen of the Night hung as part of my above-bed gallery wall. 😊 I need to get more of her prints, though.
A screenshot of the illustration entitled "Queen of the Night" by Marjorie Miller. It depicts a grey-and-faintly-blue-toned watercolor of a woman clad scantily in a 1920s/1930s inspired gown of gauze. The woman holds a golden leash hooked to the collar of a large black wolf-dog. The dog's tongue is lolling, and the pair seem to be taking a casual midnight stroll together.

Always.
A photo of a black cat lying upside-down on a colorful carpet, next to a colorful cat tunnel. His eyes are very ROUMND and his little fangies are showing over his bottom lip. He looks very silly.

Loving this back and forth from @measuredandslow.bsky.social 11/10, no notes. 👏
3 concurrent posts from Bluesky. Post 1, a reply to the updated Wikipedia page for Donald Trump, which has been changed to include "convicted felon" in the description. The reply reads: "LMAO, THE QUICKNESS". Post 2 reads: "Some Wikipedia editor was definitely sitting there with their finger on the button." Post 3 reads: "All my training had led me to this moment!"

Ditto for Gingersnaps, also, Wolfcop anyone?

So much glitter goo during wolf/human transitions! 😂
A photo from the movie Wolfcop. It shows the main actor standing next to a crew member. The actor is dressed in his wolf persona, with his dingaling hanging down, but blurred out in the photo. The crew member looks appropriately astonished.
