Topic: Bookish Gods

Yup, that's right! Mythology is full of gods who love to read and write. Next week on Nerdology 101, I'll be going over some of my favorite bookish gods.

Yeah, the Venn Diagram idea did pretty well on TikTok, so I'm running with it. Here's one for the FMC, Lilly, and MMC, Michael, from my dark romantasy book, The Fate of Angels and Demons. #booksky 💙📚 #darkromantasy 🪄 #darkromance #romantasy 💛⚔️📚 #writesky #writingcommunity

Topic: High stakes and Immortality

How do you balance creating high stakes with having immortal characters (such as gods)? If they can't die, how will it ever feel like they're truly in danger? These are questions many fantasy writers have had to reckon with and next week, Nerdology 101 is going to be posting about it. Join me for a glimpse into how it can be made to work.

Just an update on 2 of my WIPs. #booksky 💙📚 #romantasy 💛⚔️📚 #darkromantasy 🪄 #writesky #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky #readingcommunity #readers #reading #book #books #novel #story #indieauthor #writers #writing

Just an update on 2 of my WIPs.

1. Harem of the Heavens, the first book in a new universe that is unrelated to my previous works, was sent back to me by my editor now that she's done her line editing. I'll be working on implementing her feedback on the manuscript for the next few weeks.

2. The Depths of Bloodshed and Purgatory, another book that is in The Islands of Rune universe and relates to the books I have already published, is back in her hands and she will be doing the line edit for it while I work on HOTH.

Stay tuned for more updates on my future works! 💖

Here's some project updates! #booksky 💙📚 #manga #graphicnovel #romance ♥️ #romantasy 💛⚔️📚 #shortstory #novel #books #writesky #writingcommunity #book #readers #reading #authorsofbluesky

Just a few more project updates!

The Depths of Bloodshed and Purgatory (Callian's Story) is totally out of developmental editing now! It'll be line edited as soon as my editor finishes with another project she has. You can check out my blog, Nerdology 101, this Friday for some insights on it.

Harem of the Heavens is the one still in line editing! It's the start of a new series, unconnected to my previous books. I'm so excited about it. You all are going to LOVE this series.

The Otaku and the Book Girl: Romance Gone Awry is the graphic novel my artist (not on Bluesky can't tag, but human, see IG post) and I are working on. They sent me some of their drafts last week and I adore them. I can't wait to see the final panels.

Love and Lots is a short story I pitched to 3 lit mags. Reviews for submissions take quite some time. I haven't heard back yet, but I at least wanted to share so no one assumed I dropped the project!

Spent this weekend in NY. Visited fam and took my nephew to see Cornell. 15 hours of driving. Sleepy.

This week on Nerdology 101, I'll be sharing my thoughts as I wrap up developmental editing for The Depths of Bloodshed and Purgatory (including what the next rounds will do to take me further from the chaotic first draft and closer to completion). #booksky 💙📚 #romantasy 💛⚔️📚 #writingcommunity

Unhinged notes my editor left on my manuscript for The Depths of Bloodshed and Purgatory

This is such a guy conversation, I love it.

Swoonworthy

This feels like foreshadowing. This is going to bite them down the line.

I love this scene and everything it says about owning your true feelings and your truth

This is so creative. It's like a bug repellent friendship bracelet.

I laugh out loud every time I read this line.
Omg is this foreshadowing.

Damn. That's harsh. Deliciously so, but harsh nonetheless.
