Nathaly--the littlest vampire--amuses me so I am sharing a few snips of how they meet her. #snip #beforedeluca #amwriting #vampireromance

Ludovico has healing kisses, because I said so (there is actually a complex explanation I have worked out but it boils down to because I said so). #WIPSnips #beforedeluca #amwriting #vampireromance

My son was asking me to do something for him, that he was capable of doing himself, and I said, "Sorry, I can't hear you over the sounds of old men having sex in my head." He lost the ability to breathe for laughter and ended up doing the thing himself. I win. Thanks to gay vampires.

The ridiculous over the top thing Ludovico does with the flowers is probably my favorite of his grand gestures. Horrible mess, surely, but so pretty for the moment. #WIPSnips #beforedeluca #amwriting #vampireromance

Don't make the origin of your vampires 'desire' unless you want to write a lot of sex and blood and violence and horribly obsessive, all-consuming loneliness and yearning. Or do, because it is ridiculously fun.

I have four short stories and a novella, I'm told they're #queerhorror which is a new genre I didn't know was a thing until this year (kind of assumed all horror fell into that). They're on sale just now even. >.> #WeeknightWriters dyrewrites.itch.io

I have so many to read I could blindly wander through the house and find something. But my next one is "What Feasts at Night", chosen by my sister buying me it for my birthday, and it's the sequel to the last one I read. #WeeknightWriters

@tkingfisher.com's "What Moves the Dead". I'm not usually a fan of retellings, I don't even remixes all that much...but I love the author and read it anyway. In maybe a day? I couldn't put it down. #WeeknightWriters

Q3: What’s the most recent book you read and loved? (The one you read most recently, not necessarily the one published most recently) #WeeknightWriters

A mix! A lot I have are gifts or recommendations, and my friends are into indie books while family tend to send ones by established traditional authors they know I like. #WeeknightWriters

Q2: Do you read mostly indie books, traditionally published books, or a mix of both? #WeeknightWriters
Avatar
Dyre @dyre.bsky.social · 6 days
I'd say widely. When I read (can't read while drafting, brain selfish and wants only own stuff in it). I have mostly fantasy and horror on the shelves, but also some classics, some sci-fi, comedy, a few that might be romance. If it looks neat, I'll read it. #WeeknightWriters

'Ello, #WeeknightWriters! I am a sad monster what has become addicted to vampires. Currently working on a tell-all from a middle-aged vampire's perspective about him and his maker/lover, and a tie-in series wherein he is a detective. Writing week is going well! Except today. Today I am melting.

It's ok if you haven't finished your novel yet. It's ok if you haven't made the bed. It's ok if you haven't broken free of your chrysalis, unfurled your great black wings, and spread moss & gloom across the wildlands. There's still time.

Surprise! That game with a content warning for being horrible and difficult is horrible and difficult. Fear and Hunger 2: Termina is the game. It's actually my kind of horrible, and I expected to die often but apparently am not in the mood for it...so it is back to writing now. >.>
