Organization

2 min read

I have been organizing my writing-life for the past three weeks. I realized I had a jumbled mess of scraps, writing, worldbuilding, and art in random places online, and very few of the places even had the same amount of stuff.


I just finished adding all of my Scenes to all of my online profiles. They aren’t all always in the same order, but all 17 of the current Scenes are up (including the first scene from Larkspur, which I realized I might as well add as a ‘Scene’). From now on they should be in the same order, bypassing any ‘spoiler’ Scenes that Patreon may receive before anyone else.


So choose whichever platform you prefer to read the Scenes. There are no differences in the stories (unless I fix a spelling error in one and forget to update the rest…). They are considered soft-canon: canon, but I may change the fine details if I realize something is off with a date, or a term (which, frankly, I do with my published work too. Things slip by and you notice them later on). I will do my best to go back and change them when I notice a mistake so they are basically right though.


My blog: https://vmjaskiernia.com/category/scenes/


Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vmjaskiernia


deviantART: https://www.deviantart.com/vmj


wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/user/VMJaskiernia


There are some differences in that dA will have cover art and other art as well. Patreon will be getting ‘spoiler’ future Scenes, and cover art and commentary as well. Wattpad will just be the stories, but maybe you use that and comment on it most, so it’s there for you too.

I haven't been on deviantART in *years.* And yet my account is still here, some old art is still around, and I have a lot of watchers and comments that I totally forgot about. I made a lot of friends on this site, even met my first boyfriend here. And my current boyfriend is dragging me back because of course he has a dA as well :) (thanks for Core, hacker :heart:!)


I am still a writer, and an author, and a worldbuilder. I think I'll be cross-posting some of my work here as well as on my own website. I have a Patreon as well, and they get some exclusive things, but usually just get things early. And there's really no art community larger online than here on deviantART. Usually my work is literature, but I'll be putting up terrible sketches and maps too.


It's nice to be back.

My first story, a gothic romance novelette titled Larkspur, has been published! The preview is up here on dA :D It is 99cents on Amazon if you would like to buy the whole thing, and given that it has a 4.5 average, I'd say it's worth it!

“I like my fiction dark, and V.M. Jaskiernia knows how to deliver. Her approach to necromancy was fresh and alluring, the story was fluid, and I was full immersed in the world V.M. created from the first page.”
:rose:
“Larkspur is a simple, beautiful, and slightly twisted love story. My imagination came to life with the images that Jaskiernia created. The author has a way with words that I am excited to see expanded upon in the sequel.”
:blackrose:
“Necromancers are cool, and in this book, they are even cooler.”

More covers!

1 min read
I now have covers for *six* realms made. They're brilliant, and rather high quality. The last one was made by a friend for free (*hugs!*) and if you want you can order her covers for $5 here - fiverr.com/mildinterest/design…

And I realize I have just gone ahead and made covers for a lot of work that I've not yet begun, but I am (slowly) working through it all. Have a week off from school, hopefully get something more done during this time.

Fantastic man on etsy does good ebook covers for $10. He sent over sample images to get my opinion- they look great. :D It's for the stories in Clandestina, 'Larkspur' being one of them. He found a good balance of historical and 'grey' to show the mood.

Now, I'm going to split the stories by land-- so on the publish-as-you-write website I'll have a book for each country, and update with new short stories whenever something comes to mind.

Working on 'Larkspur' still, also working with short stories involving 1) werewolves and 2) dragons.
