#NovemberWorldbuilders 8 YMMV on how heroic he really was, but at least in the eastern regions of Atalantis, the ancient king Na'atl is very revered. They call him the Explorer-King because he was allegedly the first to really venture out & explore other parts of the world. #Atlantis #writesky

#Writevember Nov 8 I'm about 24K words into #Charagma, so far I've managed to write a little every day! Rewrote my 1st chapter & I'm very pleased with how it's going. This WIP was inspired by my long obsession/horror with the concept of Calvinist predestination & the doctrine of hell in general...

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky When Mem & Light first meet, she doesn't pick up on the red flags that he might have some... Luigi tendencies. (And I don't mean the Mario brother 😅) From #Charagma, my SFF dystopia where all people are marked saved or damned from birth.

#writevember Hello! I finished the novella I was halfway thru writing, and got one more chapter into the main novel wip, to the tune of almost 15K words. Not bad! Bonus Q: while writing and redrafting A Prayer for the Pirate Queen, I had Kallista and Geni's backstories in my head... 1/2

#NovemberWorldbulders The true heroes of the past were, of course, the new gods. They fought and banished the dragons, freeing humanity from their tyranny and establishing The Pantheon, beginning the age of human supremacy. Of course, that is the official story. If you ask the increasingly rare 🧵

G'morning #WIPSnips! Today's snip from TLC comes from the opening of Chapter 1, right at the start just before sh*t starts to go sideways. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

He's just the cutest skeleton you ever met #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity From Ace of Cups 🔮🕺

Felli (Peaches) went through a traumatic sexual relationship and the others in the group aren't sure what they can and cannot say around them. In the end, however, the gang are a bunch of 20 year olds, so asking them to censor themselves is a lost cause #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#Lovember oooh let's see if I can articulate this... I really like it when I can write people in love but who have something deep within that doesn't quite mesh with the other, which will in time lead to a values-based disagreement where they are both in the right... But then they solve it anyway 🥰

#Lovember I love writing M/F friendships. Sometimes they turn romantic, sometimes they just stay friends. Doesn't matter, I'm happy either way. Parent/child relationships also come up a lot, particularly characters who feel disconnected from their fathers despite loving each other.

I'm always writing about siblings. In THE DEVOURING, Jason's brother's death kicks off the plot. In THE CRUCIBLE OF THE BROKEN MOON, Daemrin grapples with his grief over his brother's death. Just yesterday, I got a plot idea for my vampires involving Lia's sister. #Lovember #WritingCommunity

#WIPsnips : "movement"

When I was a freshman in high school, my parents knew I was into fantasy novels (I'd finished Pullman's Dark Materials & Nix’s Old Kingdom trilogies), & I mentioned to them a book I’d seen a friend reading. So for Christmas, they bought me A Game of Thrones. 🙃 Bit of a shock there. #Bookvember

Betrayal out of love and necessity + bloody redemption. Second chance/Reconciliation but neither of us is who we used to be so it's like starting from square one but with more scars this time. #Lovember

#NovemberWorldbuilders 7 Eru got yesterday, so Chiyo gets today. Black is associated with the element of darkness and its deity, Erra. Darkness is not inherently evil. It's that which we seek to know hidden from us. It's the state of being dead, something viewed as peaceful if not restful. 🧵1/2

Hullo @karamoonauthor.com. 👋🏼 Nice to meet Hiria's mysterious alter ago! 👀 I do have a daily word count minimum when I'm writing a book: 1️⃣. One word is enough. ☺️ The idea is to open the ole document every day and tweak 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, or I'll get distracted over time and never finish. #pretendpanel

Happy #WIPSnips 7 - Movement! Teenagers being teenagers, amiright?

Tbh none of mine would change that much. If Mireia or Kena had a gun, I don't really see them using it. Besides, you can do a lot more *creative* things with kaana crystals 😬 Noah probably wouldn't use it either, except maybe at the end. In #Charagma... they have magic crossbows & angels, so. 🤣

#Novememeber Holy shit! Virgil is literally this meme. I didn't even occur to me that I have made this meme into a character. Like the opening line is "Virgil Mora burns in Hell. It was a pretty good job." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting

#WIPSnips The gas station crew summons Doreen, a lunch lady poltergeist. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting

This is pretty close, only Danbi’s sobbing is on the inside and if you asked her about it she’d say “sobbing, me, what, no” 👌 #Novmemeber

Yes and no. I was explicitly not allowed to read any book that contained magic, witchcraft, or physical intimacy of any kind but at 13yo through unfortunate circumstances I was left alone all day, every day for one year. What did I do? I got a library card and read everything I wanted. #Bookvember

It's nice to be able to share stories you love with people you care about. My dad enjoyed reading, but wasn't around much when I was a kid. We got to bond over shared books when I was an adult. It was one of my great joys, nerding out over books with my own kids as they were growing up.

Been a couple of busy days at work, but like a phoenix, I rise from the ashes. Wren and Bruce have an actual conversation. 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

#Novmemeber 7. Ashrah isn't in a good place at the beginning of Eternal Flame: enslaved by Archdevil Ulorzz, she's forced to show submission until she can find a way to escape this imprisonment that already lasts for a thousand years. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#NovemberWorldbuilders One of the main thorns in Wren' side are the Blackboots, her old thieving gang. There are several criminal gangs in Fenholt, identified in various ways. The Blackboots wear either black footwear or black sashes/garters to signal their affiliation. #WritingPrompts #Wrencer

#PretendPanel Nov 7 Nah, I cannot. I wish I could, but alas. Some days I need to stop writing & let something cook, or work on worldbuilding or re-outlining. If I pushed myself to the daily word count I think I'd quickly lose the joy of it. Occasional writing sprints have been very helpful though!

#Bookvember 7 When I was really young, my mom vetted what I read, though she didn't stop me from reading above my age level (hence 8yo me trying & failing to read Charles Dickens 😂) Once I hit my teens I was more free. I did get a little scarred, but in a good way. My parents never thought to

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (meeting your in-laws is hard 💀)

#NovemberWorldbuilders #ValkíforSaga For black, I must go with the raishaya, the species born in the Abyssal Realm and whose life essence, Naraanyah, is both gooey and smoky, giving them a malleable, black form. How malleable, you ask? In Book 2, a raishaya binds with Ashtell, shaping part (1/2)

#NovemberWorldbuilders 7 My queen, my Shadow Mommy 😍 Actually, returning to the clergy ranks (sorry), at every large temple the Grand Priest/ess, or 2nd in command, wears black robes. Most notable for my story is Grand Priestess Icozoue, this gorgeous grouchy badass whom I love very much 🖤🖤🖤

In the world of COTBM, black iron is an abundant resource. It is not an actual metal but an alien material with supernatural properties, and is toxic when consumed. It is almost vanta black, so black that it seems to absorb all light. #NovemberWorldbuilders

#PretendPanel Absolutely not. I have weeks when I write nothing and I banged out the first draft of Storytellers, roughly 100k, in two weeks. Trying to write X words per day would just make me frustrated and possibly depressed because Why Can’t I Just Be Like Apparently Everyone Else.

#WIPSnips Maria meets Kinekial Vilistrilik... (Excerpt from FHSD Book 2: Sink Deep, Rise Higher)

#Bookvember 7 lmao no. It had a benefit to where I was reading increasingly difficult books earlier than expected, but that also meant I got my hands on the few early smutty books my mom had. 😂 I can't say it scarred me but it probably contributed to me being weird and less relatable to peers.

#WIPSnips 7. "Movement" Ashrah is a sweetheart 😊 #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Got 1 mention of movement. Lots of "vibration through the deck" but only 1 movement. So here it is. The crew Vs Rec Android. Catch it while it's sleeping: #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFiWriters #sff

#Novmemeber 7 Even little kid Noah knows. #Tenement

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Constance Blake is dreaming/reminiscing about her husband, who's currently away on a dangerous mission. From my new WIP #Charagma, a SFF dystopia where all people are born saved or damned, & the Elect have a holy mark on their forehead.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Black is the color of the Void. So much so that "Black of the Void" is a commonly used curse. It is the place of absence. Devoid of light, life, and magic. An anomalous hole in the universe from which demons emerge. No one knows why it exists. Everyone fears it.

#pretendpanel, personally, it works for me. I usually do around 500 words a day. But for me this is 1) easy, a matter of maybe 20 minutes and 2) healing to me, to just shut off the rest of the world and catch back up with my imaginary ones. 1/2

btw #pretendpanel I'm changing this profile to be my pseudonym, and I've opened a new account over at @hiriadunning.com to be my mainstream/clean account. I've posted about my R18+ stuff too much here to let it stand as it is any longer 😅 I'll switch to hosting from that new account too. Cheers!
