A mood board for my character Leiff, wisp and fae extraordinaire with mild chaos gremlin tendencies!

I love it whenever I'm writing and I have a moment where everything clicks 💖

A little mood board for my herbalist apprentice, Casper! This is for my current WIP The Waltz of the Wisps

Went to a coffee shop and just wrote with my friend for like three hours. It was delightful ❤️

"And one is much harder to be than the other."

A quote from my upcoming queer cozy fantasy novel, The Waltz of the Wisps!

Happy pride everyone!

Me: It's cozy fantasy, you're writing cozy fantasy, you love reading cozy fantasy so make it nice
Writing me: What if I make it depressing
Me: STOP *grabs the spray bottle*

A good reminder for my fellow Derby authors 🤍 As I work on my rough draft, trying to give myself the permission to write freely without judging the quality. Nobody will read it but me, anyway.

"Don't stay out after dark," they said, "or the wisps will lead you away."
"But what if they don't?" he said in reply. "What if they lead me home?"

Bluesky cover reveal for The Waltz of the Wisps, coming September 22nd, 2025!

I love using post-it notes to plan my stories but sometimes it makes me look like a detective trying to track down a suspect 😂

I've been loving writing the main character of my book, Casper! He's a little stubborn, but he really cares for his little sister. I love it! ☺️
Do you have any favorite things about your characters, main or otherwise? Flaws? Virtues? I'd love to hear it!

I know I want my novel to have a slightly Ghibli vibe, so I've been watching a bunch of Studio Ghibli's movies ☺️

(This totally isn't an excuse to watch more Ghibli movies 😆)

Hello hello! I thought I'd introduce myself first 😄

My name is O.T. Pollock and I'm a writer! I write all sorts of things, but right now I'm working on a cozy fantasy novel. I love cats, tea, and books, especially all of them combined!

I'm also a participant in the 2025 Inkfort publishing derby!
