Recommend | Speaking of Favar, today's snippet shows Tok experiencing the culture of the mountain folk. Specifically the Zhaly lizard peeps that produce and ingest toxins.

Me: “I’ve been stuck on this damn chapter long enough. I’mma conquer it TODAY!” #bvm
The chapter:
I need a book about mushrooms to help me write my book that is not about mushrooms. #bvm #blackwriter #fantasywriter #indiewriter #booksky #indieauthor #writers #amwriting #fiction #weeknightwriters #oklahoma
Fight → fighting | shared this snip of Vashad and his grandmother before, but I really like the interaction between them here.

Me every time I think I’m done naming all the characters in a WIP until I realize the very next day I got 10+ more characters to name #bvm

I just finished revisions for draft 3 of the horror WIP. 😌
I need to do one more read-through, and it's off for its first Beta read. 😬 #amwriting #horror #bvm #writingcommunity
I hate having to limit “filler” in my stories. A BIG part of my writing is found families, but so many of their scenes are the 1st to be on the chopping block in order to shrink word count. Meanwhile, romance scenes are recommended to be longer.
I love both but damn. Family growth matters too🥲 #bvm
Another one for the collection thanks to our #WorldBookDay token! @jamiesmart.bsky.social #BvM
✨DON’T read these books if you don’t like thick ballerinas in a small town. Or Vampires looking to suck more than a glass of eggnog over an open fire.

Most | Survival videogames are not honest about how exhausting scavenging is and now Duggy has to experience it first hand.

Day 27 ✊🏾 #poems #bvm
We had love and libations.
We had closeness and celebrations.
We had kindness and kinfolk.
We welcomed all walks of life,
all parts of the day,
and all parts of the night.
Now it’s secret snickering,
snide comments,
side eyes and damnation,
empty complaints and exaggerations.

Sometimes I use the private window option when researching info for my horror novel because I'm so afraid someone will see my search history and lock me up (in jail or an asylum). I'm sure that doesn't help, lol. But I feel better. #writerslife #amwriting #bvm #writingcommunity
That meme with the man lookin unhinged as he tries to explain all the messy planning he has pinned to the wall
How I be looking every time I come back to this WIP #bvm #WhyDidIPlanSoMuchSendHELP
Day 26 ✊🏾 #poems #bvm #poetry
#brave
My cousin’s grandparents:
laughed with one another
spent quality time their grandchildren
Cousin:
Our stomachs hurt
joking with our grandfather
bellies full of food
bodies full of cheer
In my grandparent’s house
we had fun
In my grandma's heart
we felt safe
Day 25 of ✊🏾 #poems #bvm
I listened
as she spoke of people
I knew but never met
Cousin:
Big iron skillet pancakes
hiding Delta syrup
test-driving biscuits
on the plate’s curb
drowning in butter
Swimming salmon croquettes
on sizzling skillets
with homemade fruit drizzles
for giggling grandchildren
Day 24 of ✊🏾 #poems
My mom suffered in that house,
soothing sitcoms silencing a stuttering tongue.
She was silent, yet strong.
A sober stepfather never remembered
his damage the next day
while her morphine-hooked mother
never came to her defense
to everyone's dismay—
my grandparents.
#bvm #poetry
Day 23 ✊🏾 #poems
Growing up
I watched them dance
with hateful words
as if they rehearsed
Never repeating
the same spiteful words twice
art in motion
hands clenched
skillful seasoned boxers
Every day was a good day to fight
wrong only feels right
bc it’s necessary to survive these racist times
