Getting more comfortable with writing is huge!!!! Writing sprints are great for that, I'm glad they've worked out for you too!!

1, 13, and 15 for the end of year asks!!! - @magic-is-something-we-create

1. what was your writing-highlight this year?

i answered this one here, but i think another highlight has been maybe getting a little bit more comfortable with writing?? i have stopped and started this story so many times, and while it's still taking me forever to chip away at it, i'm actually making some progress 😅 for some reason the beginning has been so hard, i think because there are just tons of details i'm still unsure about.

13. how did you change as a writer? did you learn anything new? started to plan instead of pants? share your wisdom!

this is definitely the year i embraced sprinting! 😂 i used to think i hated writing sprints, and now i can't write without them. just really helps me stay focused. i also tend to stay in the outlining/planning/zero drafting phase, and really making myself actually write (with sprints) has been super helpful.

15. answered this one here :)

AVOF IS COMING TO PATREON & SUBSTACK

That's right, everyone's favorite ancient vampire is coming straight (well, not that straight) to your inbox.

AVOF will start releasing weekly in August 2025!

Until then, both Substack and Patreon are essentially newsletters! It'll be updates, behind-the-scenes info & stories, polls, Q&A and a private discord server while I do a final round of edits and prepare it for release. Tag along with me while I read AVOF for the first time in over a year, polish and expand the character arcs, and fall in love with Danny again or for the first time 💕

For major updates, avof now has its own side blog!!

SUBSCRIBE TO SUBSTACK NEWSLETTER (FREE)

BECOME A PATRON HERE ($1)

And in case you're new here, the blurb (and AVOF's taglist) is under the cut!

Do you love vampires but wish it was filled with more diversity and explored classic vampire and werewolf tropes in queer ways? Do you want a free, weekly novel sent in real time right to your inbox? Then you’ve come to the right place!

A Vision of Fire is a paranormal romance fantasy novel, following two unlikely heroes as they fight against fate. When vampire Danny sleeps with a werewolf to spite the ancient vampire order and homophobes everywhere, they accidentally reveal paranormals to the human public and trigger a prophet’s vision of the future. Unless they can stop it, humans and supernaturals will start a war that will end in apocalypse. Only the rarest creature in the world, the phoenix, may be the key to preventing violence. Which will Danny choose: his new forbidden werewolf lover, or the fate of the world?

A Vision of Fire contains themes that may not be suitable for all audiences. While common sense rating is 16+, reader discretion is advised.

Meet The Project: Desecrate

Today's @creators-club post is an introduction to what we're going to be focusing on this week, and to no one's surprise that's Desecrate!

I haven't done an Intro post update for Desecrate in a while (Here's the post I currently have), so why not do a new little meet the project for it?

GENRE

Fiction - Dark Fantasy / Dark Academia

STATUS

Re-drafting! I've got about 14k done in this new draft with the plan to finish this one and start another round of Beta reads by the end of the year! Desecrate is already up on GoodReads if you want to keep tabs on it there!

AESTHETIC / TROPES

Religious trauma, Religion in general, queer characters, questioning faith, dream shenaniganery, reading a lot of ancient texts, complaining about college classes, Queer Platonic Partners & Found family in general

This book heavily criticizes the Roman Catholic Church and deals with Catholic Guilt and Religious Trauma 

SUMMARY

What would you do if everything you knew about your faith was flipped on its head?

That's what Kit has been trying to find out. After dropping out of Seminary and giving up on his life's dream of being a priest, he has to piece together the shattered remains of his faith.

But what if those pieces fit together in ways they never have before? What if they reveal a secret that the church has been hiding for millennia? What will he do then?

Adonai's been held in captivity for longer than They can recall. They don't remember what the sun feels like on Their skin, what the wind feels like in Their hair. It's a shame, one of Their only regrets was not fighting back that day.

Their time will come. The Messiah walks among the living once again, and They know that he will free them. Until that day, They will remain patient.

MAIN CHARACTERS

Christian "Kit" Michaels (he/him) - the main character who’s POV we get. Just your everyday guy. Is a Classics student after dropping out of Seminary, does the church thing, lives his life to the best of his ability. Prone to some weird ass dreams

Adonai (he/they) - the subject of Kit’s dreams. They’re… not having a good time at the moment. Or really just ever.

Father Isaac (he/him) - A Priest of the Diocese that Kit goes to. One of the first people Kit goes to after his dreams start. A great confidant, even if he is bound by his faith.

Sister Benedictine (she/her) - Who doesn’t love a nun?? Some of the best people imo. Benny is one of the first people Kit goes to and is ride or die for her pathetic man (they are queer platonic partners, after all)

A Bitter-Tasting Blade, a novella and Camp Not-NaNo intro by @authoralexharvey

The Basics

GENRE - dark fantasy, high fantasy, travelogue

INSPIRATIONS - Bloodborne, Claymore, Dungeons & Dragons, The Witcher

POV - third-person limited

TAGS, THEMES, AND TROPES - alatrism vs. blinding faith, battle couple, duty vs. freedom, enemies to lovers (the murderous kind), forced proximity, journeying through a ravaged land, lgbtq, magic, monster vs. monster hunter (and eventually monster x monster hunter), monsters and the humanity within them, runic/sigil magic

CONTENT WARNINGS - body horror, fantasy racism, sex, violence

STATUS - outlined, currently drafting

NOT-NANO GOAL - 20,000 words

THE CHARACTERS

Toshiko Egawa, the designated Sword (monster hunter) of a minor Akalese clan. Her staunch faith in her goddess The Lady guides her hand in her fight against monsters.

Fel, a (somewhat reformed) monster of a woman and once-prominent researcher. One of few of a new burgeoning race of [TERM], people who became monsters and have since clawed their way back into humanity.

SUMMARY

Monsters have emerged in the world of Mesiphrae. Former humans, now twisted into unrecognizable forms, cleave claw and fang through those they used to love. Though some countries fare better against the crisis than others, it shows no signs of stopping until the world is overrun.

Toshiko Egawa is no stranger to these monsters. As her clan's Sword, she is regularly tasked with slaying former friend and foe alike. When her newest mission is to escort Fel, a monster of a woman, through the ravaged wastes of Hadorae, she thinks it all to be a cruel joke. But as she grapples with her burning hatred, she is forced to learn the world is not as she once understood it to be and must reconcile her differences to complete her task... and perhaps come to love along the way.

(Set after the events of ASMLP)

tagged by @amadryas (thank you!!) to share nine of my most anticipated reads this year (and ofc i cheated & included ten)

from top to bottom, starting on the left: east of eden by john steinbeck, ulysses by james joyce, greenwood by michael christie, severance by ling ma, the iliad (& the odyssey, not pictured) by homer trans. by emily wilson, the will of the many by james islington, devotions by mary oliver, the subversive stitch by rozsika parker, and emily wilde's encyclopaedia of faeries by heather fawcett.

some of these books relate directly to personal goals i hope to fulfil and seem more poignant than others (namely, finishing ulysses within 100 days, devouring homer back to back, reading more canadian authors, and hunting down possible comp titles for wips).

tggt chapter 10 "lights in the night" pls!

Ariel casts their gaze back to him, looking up to meet Zachary’s eyes. I take a few soft, silent paces, angled against the wall as I strain my ears to listen. I freeze as Ariel reaches up, slipping a delicate hand up to Zachary’s face to tuck a lock of loose sandy hair behind his ear. “I don’t need you to do anything,” Ariel tells him, their voice honey-low and even. Something just for the two of them. “I just need you to wait.”

✦ NANOWRIMO (x) 1LINEWED ; HIS BODY A BROKEN LAW—

“So it is true,” the demon murmured. “That mythical power of the True Witch. You can see all of it, can’t you? Everything.”  Everything. What a small word for what it was. The way Nemesis could touch a rock in Greece and witness the rise and fall of an empire. The way he could cup the blood of a sacrificial lamb in his palms and feel the knife cut its throat. Yes, when Nemesis whispered to the world, the world whispered back. But the world could demand things of him too.

WUPDATE: Desecrate

𝚆𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚍𝚊𝚢, 𝙾𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝟷𝟼𝚝𝚑 || 𝚂𝚙𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚢 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗

Did yous know that my Wupdates also fall on @creators-club's WIP Wednesday?? What a coincidence!!

There aren't a lot of updates for this week in particular. I'm at roughly 13k out of a projected 120k for this final draft of Desecrate! I'm really hoping to push through and have it fully drafted by the end of the year, which honestly shouldn't be too hard since this is more or less just a redraft, but we'll see!

I've been working on a lot of things for other WIPs as well, especially now that spooky season is underway! I want to start talking more about Incorrect Eyes now that it's published since it's my only true horror story that's out right now. We'll see tho! For now, I'm in the canva mines making pretty pictures to post on IG about it lol

My goals for this upcoming week:

make it through March 20th in Desecrate re-drafting

make at least one in-depth post about the research I've done for this wip (probably a post about Marcionism)

catch up with asks from when I was sick

try not to get sick again

a hike? but like not one that is hard enough to make me sick like saturday

talk more about desecrate just all around

let's see how many of those goals I can manage!! Until then, some treats for y'all:

a little snippie to start:

Kit wakes up to a sharp pain in his neck and a heavy weight on his chest. His leg is numb, his arm screaming with the need to move. There’s hair in his mouth, and as he tries to spit it out the person it’s attached to starts to rouse. “G’mornin,” Benny says, her voice thick with sleep as she lifts her head off his shoulder. Kit blinks his eyes open, squinting up at her and groaning a response. He doesn’t want to wake up, but he knows that he’s already flared up his chronic pain enough by falling asleep on the couch that he can’t go back to sleep. Benny braces her arms on the back of the couch behind him, pushing herself up so she’s hovering over top of him. She looks ethereal like this, her long black curls falling down around her face, a dopey smile gracing her lips, and a flush decorating her cheeks. She leans down to kiss his forehead, and Kit’s nose scrunches at the feeling of her hair on his face. “Stop,” he groans, his voice craggly barely above a whisper.

and then a little sneak peak of something cool:

and now, it is time for me to retreat to my drafting...
