- Reposted by A.M. Boone is in ARC hellNo joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

- My original idea was born when Black Twitter got mad that The American Society of Magical Negroes wasn't Black people Hogwarts, and I was one of them. But when I came up with the magic system, I just went with what sounded cool. And staffs, blasting stuff, and immortality are cool! #febchantment

- Well. Uh. Black people, lol. But even within that, only a very small minority of them (100k people) have magic. You have to have the potential (which some don't) and the trigger (which is usually a dangerous situation.) Two magicians can have magical kids, but it's risky. #febchantment
- #Febchantment Day 5 Tell us about who can wield magic in your world! Is it available to everyone, or only a special few? Is it a gift you're born with, or a skill you can learn? Is the knowledge gatekept in some way? Don't forget to read & interact with others! 😁 #writingcommunity #writesky
- Staffs/Staves: the center of a magician's powers, they can't do 95% of their magic without it (younger magicians tend to use staff, older stave) Implement: since magicians can't carry around their staves all the time, they can shrink into a small object (ring, key, etc) #febchantment
- #Febchantment Day 4 Vocab time! Tell us about some important terms we need to know to understand your magic system. Obviously, make sure you include the definitions! 😁 As usual, interpret the prompt however makes sense to you! Don't feel limited only to conlang words. #writingcommunity #writesky
- That's a good question, lol. I've never really thought about it? Maybe willpower? The main character got her magic when she was trying to fight off a murderer, so yeah... #febchantment
- #Febchantment Day 3 What is the central concept of your magic system? E.g. Elemental magic? Music magic? Name-based magic? Something else? (Note: this isn't the "source" of magic - that's Day 8!) If you already answered this previously, feel free to go into more detail! #writingcommunity #writesky
- Reposting to try and get a few more eyeballs on this. 👀

- I only have 2 goals this week: - Get to 80-85k on the himbo rapper/demon couple 3 WIP (currently at 69k) 😈 - Keep peddling my ARC everywhere so I can get more than 4 claims 😭 #queerwriters #lgbtqwriters
- #queerwriters Monday: Goals Day! What do you hope to accomplish this week? Can be anything, big or small! Let us know so we can cheer you on! #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
- Soft. Definitely soft. Throughout the book, "magic does as it pleases" is repeated a lot. But there's a few defined things: only Black people can use it, all magicians have a staff that's the center of their magic, and if a normie sees, there's magical backlash. #febchantment
- #Febchantment Day 2 Do you have a "hard" or "soft" magic system? In other words, does your magic system have strictly defined rules (think: Brandon Sanderson's books)? Or is it more undefined, mostly vibes/rule of cool (think: Gandalf from LOTR)? Somewhere in between? #writingcommunity #writesky

- Hi! I'm A.M! I write Black queer paranormal romances. I'm gonna yap about the magic system in my Black Magicians book, which is about, well, Black people with magic. 😂 The world's the same as ours, except 100k Black people have magic that they have to keep hidden from everyone else. #febchantment

- I got to 69k (heh) on the himbo rapper/demon couple 3 WIP, then burned out. (Who would have thought that writing 4k a day for 2 weeks would burn you out... 🤪) But I did get my Black Magicians project out for ARCs, so I'm pretty happy about that. #queerwriters
- Probably going to release The Society of the Ebony Renaissance for ARCs tomorrow. I'm nervous AF, ngl. (I'd do it today, but I'm gonna respect the general strike...)

- TBH I think getting magical powers would have fixed me. (Every trans person wants a magical transformation to give them the body they want, right?) From the Sad Magical Boys project. #queerwriterschat
- Both Devontae (sad magical boys) and Tyrell (himbo rapper) are empowered by music and magic, but in different ways. (Literally and figuratively.) Devontae used his empowerment to help others, while Tyrell... uh... he took over the world. Whoops. 😅 #queerwriterschat

- Superficially, yes. Tyrell has a roof over his head, food in his belly, a family who loves him... But underneath it all, he has a lot of frustration because he never made it big as a musician. #queerprompts
- Didn't have fifth, so I went with first. (Didn't really have second, third or fourth either...) Having your ride or die BFF get brainwashed and then try to kill you kinda sucks, but that's what happens when you piss off a bunch of angels... From the himbo rapper/demon couple 3 WIP. #WIPSnips

- Hi, #bluepithype! I'm A.M., a writer of Black and queer paranormal romances. I've been writing since I was 3, but only started publishing in 2020. I write because there are too many stories about slavery, and not enough about Black people doing cool magic and falling in love. Glad to be here!

- Tyrell answered a cold call offering random SoundCloud musicians a recording contract. (Idiot...) Unfortunately for him, it was a *demonic* recording contract, and his future love interests turned him into a Harbinger of Darkness that'd help them take over Earth. #queerprompts
- Didn't have canvas, so I went with portrait. (cw: a bit of gore) When a demon's killed on Earth, they just respawn in their home realm. (This was right before Tyrell/Salerrith threw the president into the demon mines. Good riddance.) From the himbo rapper/demon couple 3 WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting

- Before the events of the story, Tyrell was just a NEET mooching off his mom. Embarrassing... #queerprompts
- Tyrell's always had problems with his powers for spoilery reasons (being a half-demon who was turned into a Nihil) but it got waaaaay worse after he was turned into a full-blooded demon. From the himbo rapper/demon couple 3 WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
