“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you”⭐ - Ray Bradbury

Revised the short story

Cover to Mangrove: a lonely river by D Crawley, a Southern Gothic short story.

Text reading "Humidity remained one of the many “pleasures” of southern summers, like mosquitoes stabbing into skin, and snakes slithering through the reeds around her boat. The air hung heavier than usual that morning, thick with the kind of dampness that settled into your skin and stayed there until the late fall came. Usually, it didn’t bother her much, but as the summers grew hotter and longer, she missed the natural rhythms of the seasons she’d known as a child. That didn’t stop her from getting up each day to do what her ancestors had done long before her. It was a family secret, a recipe for living: You did what you needed to get by, relied on what the land and waters gave, and repeated it again the next day. "

An image of the Reflecting Pool in front of the Linoln Memorial covered in Algae and peeling blue paint on a cloudy day. A quote at the cent reads “"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." — Dr. Seuss”

Working on a satire inspired by the “restoration” of one of my favorite cities and hoodoo. Looking around at all the crap they’re doing, the issue isn’t renovation or change. It’s need, it’s who does it benefit, and what utility does this have for the community. I see none.

Against an image of herbs and Lincoln Memorial Reflection pool, between two Black women, is the following text: "Looking at the reflection pool left a sickness in my gut. I’d never wanted to jump in the damn thing, but that didn’t mean I didn’t feel a sense of D.C pride about its beauty. Now, the heat wafting off the reflection and sour smell reminded me of an upturned grave from a horror movie. I always wondered what the soil smelled like when a dead hand ripped through wet soil. "

Bruh, I am largely neutral about A.I but I saw this and it is hilarious to me. Bless the "children's book authors" who think they're doing something. As a kid I would have laughed too. Then gain I was a snobby kid 😅

A.I book cover for "Hunting with Daddy My First Hunt" a children's book with an a.I cover that has several different design styles from cartoon, to highly details , to realistic l. The style is very poorly designed

I have worked on this painting for a number of years, yet I have never quite felt it's done. Today I realized that I could do another dragonfly, but instead of dots of paint use pearls opposite the current dragonfly... Some pieces aren't done until they tell you

Happy Black History month! It's been a long time since I've shared. This is from "Darkness for Dreams" my Cyberpunk short story to show the intro for one of my fav Black characters Share your #art and #snips highlighting descriptions of Black characters! #blacksky #writesky

A novel section from a book called Darkness for dreams that reads as follows: She looked like a college student, an intern on her day off. That’s what the other Escort had said. He watched the girl, as the signal from his watch caused her to unconsciously signal him; she tapped her shoes in the familiar rhythm. Whether or not she knew it, the pattern was unmistakable: one-two-two-one-four-four-three-pause-nine-pause-repeat.
The man’s gaze narrowed. That had to be the girl he was supposed to meet, but was it a good thing? With her brown Bantu knots tied with blue and white ombre ribbons and a matching tracksuit, she contrasted with the modern wood, and silver sterility of the cafe. She should have been more subtle and not pretty.

Sorry for the lack of alt text I'll come back and addict that I'm in a huge rush but I really wanted to share this because this came up literally a second ago

So re-reading The Emperor's Edge by Lindsay Buroker, and I forgot how much humor is in the series. So enjoyable!

First time doing #WIPSnips in months! But we certainly have the word dominate in our eros horror ,😅 I write to explore the diversity of ways humans connect and the fears underlying it all so we can find connections. I think this captures 1 ex. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #horror

I went to @backwaterbooks.bsky.social for The Honey and Dewdrops performance. Had so much fun, but they somehow mystically made me buy a book. I don't know how. But it must be witch craft. Only possible answer.

Book cover reads Anatomy of a love story. A woman in red gown shaped so from top down it is a human heart
