#SundaySnips Not me having to use a synonym for the prompt word I myself picked, lol. 🤷‍♀️ Saturate = Soaked Spencer is fighting undead warriors in the rain. From book 2 of the romantic fantasy WIP about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #Wrencer #Writingprompts #Writesky

ICYMI: @karamoonauthor.com has a delightful post on our Patreon for Friends of Quillbert supporters about a critical piece of the revision process!

#AwesomeCharacters #GodsOfAtalantis: For Mireia, it depends on when you ask her. Book 1 Mireia is determined not to have a boring life and end up forgotten. Retirement? Maybe one day, as long as she's had her adventures & done something memorable. A big part of why she's upset about being 🧵1/7

Wren reflects on how she's going to deal with caring so much about Spencer. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

We took some time to recall some of our favorite memories of our favorite octopus 💖 #quillbert4ever #hqpress

Did you know that this week is National Library Week?? In support of one of the most important institutions to exist, HQP wanted to share a quick primer in how to request a book from your local library - especially if it happens to be an indie book 😁 #indiepublishing #libraries #booksky

Sam, your graphics just keep getting cuter ❤️❤️❤️

#AwesomeCharacters #GodsOfAtalantis: Both Mireia & Kena are good with animals! Mireia doesn't keep any pets but she's always gentle with animals, & big surprise but she has a natural way with fish 😂 Kena of course loves animals & would collect dozens of pets if he could. He's got his phoenix🧵1/6

#pretendpanel Humor is an important part of my writing. I am not "laugh out loud" funny and I am not comedy genius by any means, but I like to sprinkle sarcasm and funny quips in there, especially in moments of darkness. Humor gets me through hard times 🧵 #WritingCommunity #Wrencer #WritingPrompts

#PretendPanel April 4 I don't think I'm particularly funny or good at comedy, but I do like adding humorous moments into my stories! Most of my humor comes from creating doofus characters and then just letting them be doofuses at each other 🤣 #writingcommunity #writesky

#ConlangApril 4 Atlantis mentioned! 🤣 Na'aqal in my series #GodsOfAtalantis is like 80% a priori, because I chose the grammar structure & made up a lot of vocab based on pure vibes. However it is partly a posteriori because while developing it I dove into ancient Egyptian & Mayan languages...🧵1/3

#AprilAdventure In Thief of Death, the inciting incident happens before the book starts, when Wren takes a job to steal a necklace, then discovers the necklace is cursed with dark magic. Rather than handing it over, she runs to Fenholt with it, in the hopes of neutralizing the magic. #Wrencer

#AntagonistApril There are multiple villains in the series. In the start, the main villain is Magnus (his title) Elrik Var Krugan who hired Wren to steal the Necromancer's Yoke so he could use the artificact to defeat death and take over the world. 🧵 #WritingPrompts #Wrencer #WritingCommunity

#AprilAdventure 4 For Mireia & Kena, 2 different things set them on their journey. Mireia's is when the village priestess notices her catching fish with her bare hands to show off to a boy, & gets suspicious that she might be the new Sea Mother. So she invites the Citadel to come look at her.🧵1/2

#AntagonistApril 4 This is not strictly accurate but for the sake of avoiding spoilers, let's just say it's Jasana 😅 Jasana is a teenage girl, about the same age as Mireia & Kena (13-18 throughout the trilogy). She was a Sea Mother candidate who got snubbed in favor of Mireia, but she believes🧵1/5

#AwesomeCharacters #GodsOfAtalantis: Well, definitely NOT Icozoue 🤣 Depends on how you define "cheerful" I guess? My sweetest side character is Aro, Mireia's older sister, who is just the nicest cinnamon roll. There's also a priest named Ba'oti who gives some Uncle Iroh energy. 🧵1/3

Spencer tries to do that stupid thing where he sends his friends to safety then goes back to fight the bad guys alone and Bruce, wisely, doesn't let him. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Wrencer
