They lie a lot. 😅 Rachel hides her late-night walks in the woods from her dad to avoid worrying him, Miranda ran away from home after turning into a monster & hides her true identity from Rachel, and Tamber hides the fact that she has actual magic powers until called out on it. #QueerPrompts

pure vibes today (from Something Familiar) #WIPSnips

I like the fucked up immortal child trope, so I have a annoying shithead immortal boy OC that I haven’t thought about much in several years. atm, he’s boringly & clichely the result of some WWII Nazi experiment or whatever. I still really like him, but I have no idea if/when/how I’ll utilize him.

the air is smoky enough to make my eyes water while riding my ebike classic august vibes

I’m trying to decide if I want to add a third POV to To Break A Curse. In part bc the current draft isn’t even 30k words, but also bc I think it would be interesting to explore the magical aspect more and see how badly Tamber panics after realizing she may have accidentally killed someone. 💀

I can’t go through my work day without seeing ai garbage, but god I wish I could not using it is super easy, though

ngl, I mainly traumatize my characters to process my own emotions/trauma

#QueerPrompts 4: Do MCs prefer one close friend or big friend group? Rachel: no real preference Miranda: has a big friend group, doesn’t get too close to anyone due to fear of being Seen but craves it Tamber: weirdly enjoys being disliked but secretly wants a couple close friends

I haven't forgotten how nervous I was standing close to those aerial shells when they went off a hundred feet in the air on the opposite side of a cul-de-sac. I'm certain someone would end up in the ER—or dead—if a box of them went off right next to us. ( #WIPSnips from Sunrise )

I think Sunrise is pretty much done. Just need to finalize the paperback cover, then I can work on the bookmark and prepare for preorders. yippee

No cheating. Post your lock screen. I haven’t changed my lock screen in years, so here’s my wallpaper too. Coincidentally, they’re both OCs drawn in the style of Vocaloid PVs (shun-ran by john and Monitoring by DECO*27)

wow my itch payout dropped in 3 business days instead of 3 weeks I’m saved

#QueerPrompts 3: Scene or snippet with "friend" or "enemy" here’s an unedited snippet from the end of Rachel’s first actual conversation with the monster she found hiding in a treehouse

unedited snippet from To Break A Curse (Miranda POV) #WIPSnips

I think, besides sales from in-person events and itch bundles, I’ve sold maybe 3 books this year rough year, y’all

#QueerPrompts 2: Are your MCs more likely to make friends or enemies? Rachel (autistic lesbian r/NoSleep writer): friends Miranda (closeted bisexual / popular cheerleader who gets turned into a cryptid): depends Tamber (weird mall goth lesbian witch who didn’t think curses were real): enemies

#QueerPrompts intro I’m Sam, a queer, ND indie author & artist from Oregon. My current WIPs are Sunrise (holiday epilogue novella for my cat shifter series, Sidetracked) & To Break A Curse (sapphic YA paranormal romance very loosely based on Beauty & the Beast). I’m gonna talk about tBaC this month.

I bought a fairly cheap yukata on Amazon, and it came with ties that only work if you wear it right side over left side when it really should be worn left over right, so now I guess I need to swap (or at least remove) the ties before the Obon festival 💀

not a WIP, but it seems I haven’t used “coherent” in anything besides Sidetracked series (this instance is from Afterglow). #WIPSnips
