Usually, I just concede that I'm not going to be able to write that day. For me, taking a break to let the creative energy replenish is just as important as getting a little bit of writing done.
Take it easy, refill your creative tank, and be back to write another day!
Thank you! I'm very fond of him!
Thank you! 💛

I've mostly been posting about The Need for Dandelions since the release is so soon, but I've also been working on drafting a novella about dragons called Guardian of the Sky!
I got some art of the protagonist, Fionn, today! Say hi!
Oh, I totally get that! It was kind of fun to start over!
Thank you!
Mead… it’ll get ya!

I finally got my streak on The Storygraph back up to 100 days! 🥳
I had an over 300 day streak going when, unfortunately, I lost it after having a bit too much fun at the Ren Faire! 😅
Chibi art of my two main characters Florian and Elias on a deep crimson background. Elias is in the top left, a tanned man with dark hair, eye bags, and a five o'clock shadow. He has honey brown eyes and a tiny little cat smile. Florian is in the bottom right, he is very pale with pointed ears and fangs, brown shoulder length hair with a white section in the fringe, magenta eyes and lilac eyeshadow, purple dangle earrings, and several beauty marks on his face.
Everyone, I'd like you to meet Florian and Elias from #🩸⛪WIP! My delightfully messed up men~

It looks great!
Just to let you know, this made me laugh and totally worked because I went and added the book to my Bookshop cart!
hi i want to talk to you about this book i promise i’ll be fast just hear me out There is a book cover showing a tall skinny brunette girl in a purple dress and a shorter chubby blonde girl in a pink dress. They are standing in a moonlit garden full of purple roses. its purple babey!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically it’s about two princesses who are trying to get married to each other and also trying to not get eaten by dragons. And both of these things are difficult. There is a picture of the same cover art but this time it is square shaped because it is for the audiobook. it also comes in square
Okay let me explain So Princess Esofi has been engaged to Crown Prince Albion since basically forever. But she’s never met him because they live on different continents, just like you and all your mutuals. Esofi and all six hundred of her ballgowns travel to Ieflaria for the wedding, but when she gets there it turns out the prince recently died in a tragic plot contrivance. Now she’s got to marry Albion’s younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. The world runs on video game rules when it comes to romance and sexual orientation* so this isn’t a big deal. Except Adale doesn’t want to rule the kingdom or marry a stranger because she’s afraid her undiagnosed learning disorder will lead the kingdom to ruin. Also there are dragons. *The reason why the world works this way is slowly revealed over the course of the series.
It's purple babey

I have an epic fantasy romance WIP that started off as one 210k behemoth, then I decided to split it into five novellas. As I was self-editing the first, I realized it would be five short novels. After beta feedback on the first, it’s now three 150k novels… I’ve got to work on it more…
Available now: Torment, a Gothic Anthology curated by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald.
Dance Macabre chronicles an unnamed protagonist's efforts to understand what strange affliction ails their sister and reverse her steady decline. But when evidence leads the narrator to take a risky chance, they learn the true nature of their sister's condition--and are presented with a compelling offer of life beyond their imagination.
It's release day for TORMENT: A GOTHIC ANTHOLOGY, curated by @ardentgrove.bsky.social !!
If you like Gothic fiction, don't miss this!
I hope you like my story with its unreliable narrator and lowkey descent to madness. Or is it ascent to greatness? 🤔
She's so cute! Look at those eyes!
This is so cute 💛

Both Galen and Sasha are obnoxiously stubborn at times!
Galen refuses to admit to anyone that his workload is too much. It takes a magical disease for him to finally ask for help!
Sasha is equally as stubborn! It takes a lot to change his mind, but he is getting better!
Still booking for the summer!
I received some amazing feedback this week as well 🥰
What others have said about working with me:
"The experience gave me a pulse check on my story and a final polish that left the text glimmering. Steph helped me cut the clutter without losing my voice."

Yeah! 😓It's just SO him!
I love The Oh Hellos in general so they always make their way onto my writing playlists. Originally, his song was going to be "I Have Made Mistakes" but I listened to the lyrics of Eustace Scrubb more carefully and I was like... Oh. Oh, yeah.
