Meg Writes, Maybe? @megthewriter.bsky.social · Jan 1
A glimpse into 2025!

These are a mix of projects that I'm either actively working on at the moment, or want to pay attention to over the next year

Pirates, dragons, mermaids, superheros, inventors and more await!

Photos in the collage include a pair of hands reaching towards each other over an ocean wave, a pirate ship coming out of a cloud of fog, a dragon flying over a mountain range, a pair of steampunk-esque goggles around someone's neck, a neon sign that says "Girls just wanna have fun", and a figure leaning over the edge of a dinghy as someone coming out of the water grips their face.

If MANY hours of fantastical escape appeal to you, with everything from traditional magic, royals and gods, to thieves, detectives, anti-heroes, shape shifters and (queer) found family... this bundle's worth a browse.

(Its even got librarians & necromancy 😉.)

Defining genre is tough. But in the hearts of Ruarnon Trilogy's main characters lives hope, kindness, gentleness & optimism. This is the story of a bunch of misfits throwing themselves into danger to make the world a better place, and its Hopepunk af. (+ epic & portal YA Fantasy 😉)

Tradition ensures survival, but Tarlah's first nonbinary heir is about to defy it so their continent can live. In an age of abductions & betrayal, Ruarnon will risk everything to end cycles of war & death.

Lost, irreverent Aussies are their perfect allies.

♠️🌈📚🪐📚💙: elisecarlson.com/ruarnon-tril.
Ruarnon Trilogy All 3 book covers displayed side by side, with a box of key points below each, a fantasy map background by GlintofMischief -as is cover art- and a column of store icons (left). Book 1, Manipulator's War: red glyph archway frames a smoky night sky, with fire arrows raining down on battlements on which a few torches burn. Ruarnon leans on a spear (left foreground), wearing fitted bronze armour and holding a bronze helmet. Book 1 text: Mystery & Monsters. Autism, ADHD, Adventure & Aro-Aces. Book 2, Secrets of the Sorcery War: blue glyph arch frames two extremely tall cliffs, through which a sailing ship sails across bright blue waters into sunlight. Book 2 Text: evolving monsters, forgotten weapons, friendship vs. adversity. Book 3, War in Sorcery's Shadow: purple glyph arch frames a black cloudy sky, down from which a bolt of lightening strikes a shield around brown, crystaline towers of a castle. Castle sits atop barren plains of dead trees, a skull lying in foreground. Book 3 text: underground resistance. Secret organisations. Save a mind, save the world. Store Icons (left vertical column): Request at your local library, Direct from Author, Bookshop.org (US), Itchio, Kobo, Apple, Everand, Booktopia, Hoopla, Thalia, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones. Note:, Ruarnon trilogy is available from additional stores and subscription services via link in post. No, its no longer on Amazon.

BAKER THIEF and PAINTED FLOCK can each stand on their own, but they have a connected arc! While the 1st is more mystery and action oriented, the 2nd is an aftermath story, with thorny relationships and science!

An image split in two. At the top, Baker Thief with "First you expose the corporate conspiracy to stick people in little power gems..." and in the bottom "but then you've got to get the victims out of there, into new bodies"

I've been a reader my entire life

Stopped working in retail and said I'd never go back unless it was for books. Applied for a manager role, got an interview, was told they wanted me but not for that position

Four months later, I'm tapped on the shoulder for a manager role at a brand new store

Trying to timeline revising Dragon WIP right now is WILD

I'm trying to factor in:
- Working retail in December
- Reading Phenomena stories
- General obligations
- Dodging burnout
- How fast I can actually do the thing

And I don't know whether I'm estimating too high or too low

Fuck this nonsense

I write for me, my little twists and turns of phrase are intentional. They set the scene and build it into something that feels tangible

Screw LLMs. Go down the wandering path and take your brain on a journey, it's more fun
hazelxd.bsky.social Hazel Anneke Dixon @hazelxd.bsky.social · 20d
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.

As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

They're her base. The ones she knows will catch her when she falls and follow her into the chaos without a second thought, and she'd do the same for them in a heartbeat
