Months late to this post, but my first novel (in its first draft) is about a zombie apocalypse in the 1800's which questions what is considered survival and what is worth surviving for, very much through a trans perspective :3

Last post of the weekend before I vanish again. Excerpt! Mini warning for vomit, nothing descriptive

(This is a first draft and has not been edited!)

Excerpt of a text:
Despite it, Wolfgang could see the tensity in her muscles, the slight shivering in her fingers. She took a shaky breath before whistling, projecting the sound out to the thing in the trees.

It's tiny head erected at her message, stumbling through the snow towards the clearing. It wasn't on hands and feet, but on it's knees, clambering down the the hill.

Amara braced herself. For something so mangled and weak it moves with good speed, almost barrelling down, having moments where it tumbles, but easily getting back up and continuing to gallop down the slope. It began to snarl and grumble beneath it's breath, horrific noises.

The ghoul was trudging through the thick piles of snow, rapidly approaching on the front deck, when Amara raised the rifle, braced in her arm, in what Wolfgang guessed was perfect position. And she pulled the trigger.

$Excerpt of a text: The creature lopped onto the ground, stopping dead in the snow, already growing red beneath it's slumped body. A lot more of it's head was now missing, gore and bone peaking through the wounded skin. Wolfgang stood in the doorway, Warren eventually reached his side, lingering a bit further from the door. He tried not to look at the weakened corpse, only Amara. The gun lowered in her arms, pointing down to her feet and hung limply in one hand. She was unbelievably dazed, blood drained from her face as she still stared at the fractured heap in the snow. He stepped onto the porch, approaching Amara slowly, still with his shovel in hand. Warren hesitantly followed, stopping at the door and refusing to progress to the outside. Amara lurched over the railing of the deck and retched into the snow.$

It’s still #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth! If you want to add (even more) books written by Filipino American and Filipino authors to your TBR, here are 24 suggestions to get you started!

Light yellow graphic titled “Twenty-Four Books for Filipino American History Month (And Beyond)”. Beneath the title text is an illustration of a young man, back facing the viewer, who is wearing a gold hoodie and holding up the flag of the Philippines in his left hand, fist raised above his head. The top and bottom of the graphic are decorated with an alternating red and blue tiled pattern.

The trials and tribulations of being a writer with a very noisy brain

T.S. Crowe @tscrowe.bsky.social · 1d

It's a good way to subtly introduce stuff expanded on/fulfilled later on, but I always wonder if I go too vague

It's not important or spoiler-y so I will share (For context, this is separated by 2-3 paragraphs)

Actually looking at it now i wonder if it's too obvious

Excerpt from a text:
"My father did, mostly full of his books and collections," Warren rattled on, fingers still caught up in his hair. "I added to it myself with textbooks and essays, though never enough to call it to my own."

Excerpt of a text:
"Thank you, my dear," Warren murmured, reaching a hand to brush the sleeve of his coat. A gift of his and probably the warmest thing Wolfgang owned. He wore it everywhere.

Me staring at the tiny little line/paragraph/interaction I wrote trying to figure out if I'm a genius to include this bit of subtext or if I sound like a crazy person

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

I'd love to write a book on it, this technological new world being a separate place. Inspiration from some of playstations old 'double life' adverts as well
Not to mention how 'wild west' the old web was, I dont fully remember as I was like 5, but screamers and the way real world horrors were common

T.S. Crowe @tscrowe.bsky.social · 3d

I've been keeping off socials during the workweek, I'm stressed and very busy, but I'll make an exception for this,

I love this vid, I've watched it a few times. I'm not old enough to remember the internet being a separate place, not entirely

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past.

I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

When y'all buy from indie authors, it impacts us profoundly. Especially if it goes outside the circle of authors trading a few dollars back and forth amongst ourselves.

Look I usually don't post stuff like this, but it angers me. I hate it when people pirate the books used for fundraisers, even when there's a free version on the site as well! Tell me why do you do this people? Why steal something when the purchase could help someone? #why #supportauthorsinstead
