An hour and 15 min for Wednesday to hit us... So a preemptive #WriterShareWednesday I guess ๐
I have been thinking about this story that I wrote last year (for eclipse) and since we got one recently, it's an obvious brain jump I suppose.
So please check out this Vampire #flashfiction.
I just logged in to see if there were any #WriterShareWednesday posts for me to repost... and then I realized that it is not, in fact, Wednesday
Look I just REALLY want this week to end ๐

Tuesday Trope Treasures Pirate Chest that is open with shiny coins sticking out
Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic:
The World Runs on Promises
Breaking an oath has physical consequences. Casual commitments are terrifyingly powerful.
Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

Talking of telepathy can I plug this story @brownhoundpress.bsky.social shared last week (I've kinda been in love with it โ for multiple reasons โ shared it with so many friends and have myself revisited it a few times)
A nice mention about my story in @brownhoundpress.bsky.social on Kevin Tipple's blogspot! kevintipplescorner.blogspot.com/2026/03/thur...
Story Track: The Sigur Rรณs song โSamskeytiโ employs the bandโs signature sound: sequences of gradually-layering, syncing patterns, similar to the thoughts of the storyโs narrator. The Icelandic title roughly translates to โseamโ like the mental connection between the two telepathic characters.
A message to all the writers out there who are feeling overwhelmed and overlooked by an industry that often feels cold and harsh. Keep writing stories. Keep sharing them with the world. We need you.
Chapter 24: Apollo โSo, youโre saying weโre infected with an alien-vampire hybrid virus that causes telepathy?โ I stared at Apollo, boggling. Trying to wrap my head around the staggering situation. โEssentially, yes. And itโs extremely contagious between humans,โ Apollo stated matter-of-factly, in only the way that a trained medical professional can stoically deliver shocking news. He stood there, his greenish yellow tendrilled hair forming a glowing halo around his head, while crossing his two sets of arms in custom-made white medical scrubs. But I managed to catch a flash of white. Danger? Concern? I continued gawking at him, probably in a mild state of shock, trying to process our entire conversation.
Sharing a bit of of my #hopepunk novel for today's #WIPSnips, "chapter." Claimimg vibes ๐
Just an alien-vampire telepathy virus threatening to infect humanity.๐ฝ๐ง๐คฃ
I'm curious though - would *you* embrace telepathy? ๐

Cause chances are high that it was missed out by someone who cares and would share.
I can relate, even when I share that stories on my patreon are available to free members a lot of times they are ignored, but I do have a handful of mutuals who are equally supportive with sharing anytime I share something with a link.
I think resharing/reposting stuff over and over helps
Todayโs #WIPSnips is also from one of the stories that I've sent out for a submission call (and since it involves a writer, I didnโt have to use my โchapterโ heading :P

I've no clue how I missed it yesterday (apart from catching up on thousand little edits so I could go to shoot without any worries)
so here's a catchup #WIPSnips for โscrewโ from a story which I very much enjoyed writing (and I hope it finds a home soon)

that's a very pretty cover @rosie-j-potter.bsky.social!
I hope you donโt mind if I share my cover here.
Itโs so perfect. I love it so much.
i think crabs should have more friends on this planet. like people or other crabs or little eels or maybe shrimps or a shark perhaps or those huge isopods that look like little grumpy guys or that one squid thats really tiny but is nice and other cephalopods and sea slugs and anemone and snails and
The thought experiment must have stayed with me because I created a whole series of drawings called โSomething from Nothingโ that exist in that liminal space between 2 and 3D.

its the year of the fire ho(r)se
A cartoon-style vector-ish artwork of a woman leaning over the back of a car, holding up a small stick of dynamite. To her right, a man wearing a black leather jacket is leaning on the back of the trunk of the car, smoking a cigarette. Text over top reads "Marked for Life" and "Tory Keith & Aimee Cozza". It's snowing in the background.
I hereby challenge you to draw your book cover, your OCs, etc in the "vector cartoon-style romance book cover" look
Here's my definitely not a cozy romance book OCs as if they are totally not doing an arson

Writing a story to go with Friday the Thirteenth (with Ides of March playing a part in it)
The most painful and necessary part of writing, as we all know.
Main on all the laptops + my android too.

Other days, youโll spend three hours on a single sentence Both types of days are part of the process, so don't let yourself get defeated by the latter"
Good morning! Some days, you can edit three chapters in a single day. Other days, youโll spend three hours on a single sentence
Both types of days are part of the process, so don't let yourself get defeated by the latter

So many new WIP stories for #WitchCraft101
(Okay 2, but I think both are worth many, so, yup, so many)
(Also I wish, I had some extra time to compile the old stories into an e-book, because something cool is on its way and the e-book would slap)
