#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 21 Danny doesn't encounter any festivals or celebrations in Empaeria, much less one by the water. He's on a mission with his best friends. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I was really into pegging in my youth.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 20 The city of Clemunz lies north of the Azura Forest, covering both banks of the Teratear River with the old city on the eastern bank. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Name a film with a forest.

If you see this, share a Western vid or GIF 🖤🤠

#NovemberWorldbuilders It's a Two-Fer!! Day 18 (Catch Up) and Day 19 18 - Danny has no special relationship with water. He lives near Lake Michigan and likes to go to the bluffs overlooking the lake. 19 - Fishing? See Day 17! #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 17 FISH! #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 16 Danny doesn't learn anything about the water rituals or customs in Empaeria. He and his friends are too concerned with finding Sadoq and avoiding detection. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 15 (Catch up) The Tommeran Sea separates the Azura Forest from the Dragonspire Mountains. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 14 The morals on Empaeria are similar to those on Earth. Enzo calls out bad human behavior. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 13 Danny is Jewish, a fact he tries to conceal. In Empaeria, there is little religious expression. When your neighbor can manipulate aessence, there is no need to believe in gods. The fight for balance is important, as Ms. G explains. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Nothing spicy here, just two freshmen planning Homecoming. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

From 2015. Her accomplice, "Raspberry Beret" escaped in a little red corvette but was later found in a second-hand store. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/c...

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 12 "The Forces of Darkness" are vast and varied. As with all evil, there is nuance- otherwise good people commit foul deeds. Bad actors dress themselves in righteousness. Pain is dealt out and exploited. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyWorldbuilders Day 11 Ethics Danny considers himself to be a good person. He hates seeing news of war and division on TV. He wants to help his friends. He tries to be nice and kind. But he's not above taking some petty revenge, either. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 10 Building on yesterday's* post, people in Empaeria blame the Sylpheddar for starting the war. Whether this is true or not, it doesn't seem to matter to anyone other than Danny. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 9 (Catch Up) Danny hasn't learned of a specific villain, but much to his dismay, he discovers that "his people," the Sylpheddar are blamed for starting the war. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 8 (Catch Up) Danny doesn't learn much about Empaeria's history. He knows that Lia's brother, Sadoq is a great general in the war. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Post a holiday GIF or vid...🖤

It's not a racoon in the attic! It's squirrels. And the hole is an easy fix. #SaturdayPlans

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 7 BLACK Danny and Lia search the school's theatre for a tear in the veil between our world and Empaeria. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 6 WHITE (and pink) Lia collects interesting pebbles at the lake. She has a separate pile of white and pink granite that "remind her of home." #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 5 PURPLE When Lia uses her magic (aessence) in Empaeria, it (and sometimes she) glows purple. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Our great nation.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 4 GREEN After fleeing the Azura forest, Danny, Lia, and Enzo travel through Empaeria's grasslands, a vast, flat plain of green tall grass. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

If you buy this book, in a few days your Alexa will beep and say, "You have one new notification from Amazon.com. A no-good worthless book has arrived." #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlit #inventingreality www.amazon.com/gp/product/194...

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 3 YELLOW/ORANGE When Miss Unsly invites herself over to Danny's house for dinner (to discuss his grades), she brings a lemon cake. And wears an amber pendant. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Share an awesome 90s movie.

Working out with a hernia is annoying.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 2 BLUE In Empaeria, Lia spits blue dragonfire. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

##novemberWorldbuilders Day 1 (Late) RED Enzo uses a special red door to pass through the veil. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 31 Happy Halloween! Today the veil grows thin. Enjoy the space between worlds. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Why are theatre people so much drama????

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 30 None of my MCs consider themselves brave, but they are. Danny stands up to all kinds of threats. Lia is far more headstrong than she lets on. Enzo sees action as a matter of course. His desire for peace takes real guts. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 29 - Nightmares! Danny's worst nightmare goes from bad grades and bullying to a world overrun by monsters. Lia fears evil's victory. But for now, she's terrified of losing her brother. Enzo sleeps soundly. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 28 Danny pulls a prank on the girls who undermined him during their group project. He sees one of them get in deep trouble and regrets it. Later, he feels guilty about going behind Lia's back, even though he was trying to help. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 27 Goosebumps or Point Horror? Neither.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 26 (late) At first Danny would be good-fun scared of a haunted house. By the end of the book, he'd be less frightened of the monsters and keen on the theatrics. Lia would find the whole thing fun but quaint. Enzo would react with fists up. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 25 Lia joins Danny and his sisters for trick or treating. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 24 A friend of mine was born on Halloween. His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. We're throwing him a Thanksgiving-lite birthday party. (Shhh... it's a surprise. Maybe.) This year Halloween is dressing up as Thanksgiving for Halloween. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

"I'm your huckleberry."

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 23 I'm writing Halloween in Book 2 now! Danny dresses as a pirate. Lia dresses for a masquerade (to go trick or treating). Enzo gets coerced by his boyfriend, Alex, into a couples costume. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I GOT MY EDITS BACK! I can't wait to read, review and finalize. Thank you so much @inventingreality.bsky.social "The Dust Behind the Door" is coming to life!

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 22 Punk Noir Magazine published this a while back. punknoirmagazine.wordpress.com/2024/07/01/d... #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 21 I'm not really one for horror movies or TV. My brain is way overactive, leaving me with chills and dread for weeks. Horror books never bothered me so much. Except for "The Road." That one flew across the room before going in the freezer. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 20 Danny takes vengeance against his snobby project partners. Later, he goes behind Lia's back thinking he's helping. Lia has exactly 0 qualms killing her enemies. Enzo loves a good fight. He considers bullying the natural order. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 19 Danny is beaten up by bullies. He and Lia search for a tear in the veil in a spooky, dark theatre. In Empaeria, they are captured by the Cervad and thrown in prison. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 18 Catch Up Danny's project partners do him dirty and his teacher lets it happen. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 17 I'm taking advantage of Free Friday today. Nothing to see here. Have a great day, everyone! #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Writing Book Two is always harder than writing Book One. It is for me, at least. #WritingCommunity #amwriting
