Me reaching down into my story to kill off a character, but they don't wanna. #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity #booksky #thekingsoath #author #amediting

A castle is under seige and running out of food when something seemingly miraculous happens... An eerie, queer, medieval horror, with strange faith, cannibalism, madness and BEES, The Starving Saints by @caitlinstarling.com is out today! #Horrorsky 💙📚🪐

Haven't shared any #WIPSnips in a minute (or written much for that matter), but we're so back. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Writing podcast "And you should never introduce new characters by act 3 of your book." Me, awkwardly looking at the 3 new characters introduced in act 3 of my book. #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #author #amediting #booksky #oops #trashpile

I can't believe I actually had the word "sauce" in my draft. Well, "saucer", but close enough. #WIPSnips #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity

The #WIPSnips word for June 20th is "sauce" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I'm not a #poet but I like #poetry. I've had the idea for this #poem stuck in my head for a long time, so I'm glad to have finally written it. ❤️📚 #writesky #amwriting #writingcommunity

Editing is hard! #editing #amwritingfantasy #ameditingfantasy #author #booksky #writingcommunity

Team → Crew → Mates. After a slice of humble pie, the gang's together. All that's left is to make a plan and get to work. #WIPSnips #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky

🤦🏼‍♀️

The one thing Rodney Dangerfield and Rilian Etzler have in common is that they get no respect. ❤️📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #amwritingfantasy #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #booksky

How it feels opening my draft document when I've got 500mg of caffeine in my blood, plenty of time, and a solid vision of how to progress the plot. ❤️📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity #booksky #writesky

Oh yeah, can A.I. do THIS?! *forgets the names of the characters in a book that I wrote*

#ComJunity 11. Rilian doesn't even have time to ask. Hogen is already digging the grave and explaining the best ways to keep it from being disturbed by scavangers. #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

#Writing with an outline held together by glue and hope is pretty cool because sometimes a detail comes up and you surprise yourself. It's like reading a book while it's being written and it has me like this #amwritingfantasy 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #fantasy #booksky #writingcommunity

Another #WIPSnips from Bladesworn (Just hit 35k words woo!). The port town of Eventide isn't exactly what our intrepid hero was expecting. But what can you do? Alleys are like avenues, right? 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity #booksky

June is my birthday month, which sounds like a great reason for you to treat yourself to some gory horror books and, I dunno, help me pay some bills. Grab some books, share this post, and enjoy: books2read.com/michaelpatrickhicks 🩸📚 💙📚

A lot of "wait" to choose from when I hit ctrl+f. Will probably have to cut some of that during edits lol. Also, don't let the em dash fool you, I just know the alt code. Bladesworn is all hecho a mano, no AI involvement whatsoever. 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #WIPSnips #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity #booksky

Back with another #WIPSnips from my #fantasy novel, Bladesworn. The stage is set, and the gang is ready to set out. 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #writingcommunity #amwriting #booksky

Took the weekend off from #writing to focus on deep cleaning the house and other drab adult things. Back at it today for day 7 with 1000 words down. Inching ever closer to finishing the first draft of Bladesworn. #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity #booksky

Another #WIPSnips from Bladesworn. I had to be a little creative with "junk", but I feel like "discard" is close enough. Uneasy alliances for an uneasy journey. 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity #booksky

Just hit my daily minimum for day 4 out of 99 day deadline. 860 words down, which puts me at just over 30k. Only 50k more to go. Here's a snip from today's work. Sometimes it's tough to get a drink in a crowded bar. #amwriting #fantasy #WIP #booksky

Another #WIPSnips from my #fantasy project. Nothing hidden between (tenuous) friends, right? #amwriting #booksky 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️

This project means a lot to me. It's grief. It's fierce. It's horror. It's ace. It's me. After pitching and pitching and not finding a home, I'm finally pushing into some edits that I hope will strengthen the story and give it another fighting chance. Let's go.

Woman owned, Pro Human Rights, small publishing press. Featuring work by established and debut authors … from the darker side of speculative fiction. Here, the shadows keep their secrets and the moon hides from deeds cast in her glow. linktr.ee/cronegirlspr...

I did some quick math the other day to see how many days it would take me to finish my first draft if I put down 800 words per writing day. I gave myself a deadline to finish the draft in 99 days. I'm on day 3 and I just hit 1200 words. Feels good. 💙📚🧙‍♂️⚔️ #amwriting #booksky #fantasy #WIP

#HorrorWritersChat The community. I've heard some of the most thought-provoking, nuanced takes on media as a whole from people who identify as horror geeks. But then in the same breath, they will say something like "Toilet Demons 3 was the pinnacle of the Toilet Demons franchise."

#HorrorWritersChat She has hair like raven feathers and piercing blue eyes. Her brow furrows while examining a collection of haunted dolls behind glass. One's out of place. She groans then asks me to get the step stool so she can fix it. "Yes, my lady," I reply, careful to avoid direct eye contact.

#HorrorWritersChat They drag my wretched soul from the abyss. I study them before me, wide-eyed and shivering with anticipation. They offer me a deck of Magic the Gathering cards (obviously a reanimator deck), a Coke Zero, and a bag of multicolored dice.

#HorrorWritersChat Hey there! I'm Rob, I like to write occult and folk horror but also dabble dark fantasy. I've got a few short stories I'd love to put into a collection someday. "A young man, once petrified of the Things That Went Bump in the Night, now embraces the macabre like an old friend."

Warbreaker is the second book I’ve started in the #Cosmere after finishing #Mistborn about a year ago. I was a bit put off in the first chapter or two, but now I’m about 20% through and I can’t get enough. Forgive me, Brando Sando. I fear I’ve misjudged you. 💙⚔️🧙‍♂️ #booksky #reading #fantasy
