#SapphicSnips *rare* Josh is trying. #lesfic #sapphic

Has anyone had any success as a freelance writer through Upwork? I am in need of work, and am wondering if it is worth it. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity

#Wednesday #HumpDay #indieauthors #WritingCommunity #snippetshare #WritingQ #Snippets Page 133 from Inferno

Got hired as a ghostwriter so probably putting my WIP on hold for a little bit. But I’ll still be writing fiction, so I’m happy with it.

#WIPSnips Real

#QueerWriters My main goal is 5pages per day Monday through Friday. Weekends are hard to write during. #Goals #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Nope! While I do enjoy certain tropes, I tend to just go with what feels right in the moment. Especially when writing. #PretendPanel

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SummerOfStory My book is based off Dante’s Inferno so the symbols and motifs were par for the course. I didn’t add any to my second project though… at least I don’t think so.

#QueerWritersChat Hiiiiiiii I’m Mel aka MA. I am working on my second project which is kind of like Scooby Doo meets Riverdale meets the newer Power Rangers movie.

I identify with my heroes more. I put so much of myself into my MC. She’s basically a fragment of me.

#QueerPrompts free Friday Enjoy the opening to my book Fun fact: Ro never specifies she’s lesbian, just falls hard for Ally throughout the book. #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

#SpphicLineShare #wip #lesficfri #queerwriters This scene isn’t very sapphic but the MCs are.

#MythAugust I wasn’t doing these then realized my book is based on Dante’s Inferno which can be considered mythic. Demonology is very important in this novel. My favorite is Belphegar, mostly because the name is fun to say haha. I can’t say more without giving away a plot twist. 😬

#PretendPanel Stupid thumbs lol

#PremtendPanel It’s funny, my two projects couldn’t be more different from each other. Inferno is a romantasy and PHMC is a mystery. Both YA. I guess you could say YA is my favorite genre.At least to write.

Didn’t have frequent so went with repeat. #WIPSnips #WritingSky #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 760: Not all writing happens at your desk. Thinking, planning, noticing, asking questions, reading, researching, dreaming - all can be part of the process. (Also, tea.)

Katrina Lamont used to the Chosen One. She had a destiny that she fulfilled. But everyone died anyway. Now, she's a drifter. A drunk. A broken woman waiting to die. She'll get worse before she gets better. #QuestPit #P #A #SFF

#QuestPit Dante’s Inferno x Sapphic YA Romantasy When Ro ends 🆙 in Hell, she never dreams she’d be the one to save Hell from a demon uprising. With her LI, Ally, Ro travels the 9 levels searching for Lucifer’s missing sword. Will she save the day…and her heart? 🌙 Love 🌙 Adventure 🌙 Betrayal

#FantastIndiesAugust I write mostly in the morning. It’s when I’m the most awake and least distracted as the dogs are still sleeping lol.

Day 4: My MC 17 and since it is set after Ro dies, she will stay that age Day 5: I honestly got inspired randomly one night and just pantsed my way through most of the story lol #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

By requesting a detailed marketing plan six months before launch you become able to organize your own marketing campaign for your novel. Marketing is all about becoming visible to your future readers. Usually by spending money for visibility access. Plan on it. #writingcommunity #booksky #money

You can also find out who in your town is good at marketing. You can call them for a consult to help you generate a plan. Don't get 'sold' on them doing the work for you. Yes, you might be lazy or frightened to be responsible for your own novel marketing. #writingcommunity #booksky #moneystuff

If you self-publish you should always save for an editor and a cover artist at the minimum. I like to have an editor look at my stuff before I query. Gonna start edits end of September. So excited!

I can’t find my mood board but I associate the book with the color purple. 👾 I imagine the cover with a purple background and generic brown haired girl up front 😈HellQuartz tends to lean towards purple even though it shines multiple times colors 🧞 The octopus monster is purple #WritingPrompt

Writers imagining their stories before bed to fall asleep: Fantasy – Ah, adventure Sci-Fi – Ah, space Romance - Ah, true love Horror – Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, monsters Erotica – Ah, monsters

How did you start writing/drawing/creating? I started writing when I was young b/c I had all these made up stories from my fave movies in my head and needed to get them out. Yes, my first works were fan-fic… at 7 years old. 😅 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky #AuthorSky

#queerwriters check in I finished my first manuscript and started working on my second one again!!!

#AugustWorldbuilders Idk if this counts, but Rowan is a Hellquartz user and the only one.

#WritingQ #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity Here is another sneak peek at my new project:

#AugustThrills #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting A sneak peek at my new book: Rush and Valencia don’t make friends very well. Taylor and Robbie do. Scooby-Doo meets Riverdale vibes

#AugustThrills #3 Alex is the quiet character. He doesn’t say more than needed. While Rowan rambles on and on lol. Ty is also very talkative. Ally is pretty average.

#WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity #romancewriters #romantasy #WriteSky #writersofbsky

#SummerofStory I’m really good at pacing and tempo. Especially in poetry, but it transfers over to my fiction too. I’m also hella good at just word vomiting and worrying about cleaning up later lol. #SundayShare #WritingPrompt

I don’t have a book cover yet, but I’m excited to participate tomorrow!

Day 2 of #FantasyIndiesAugust Snippet Saturday

Happy #caturday! Here’s a pic of Renaissance aka Renn Renn judging me from her windows hammock. 3 guesses why she’s named Renaissance. 😂

Time to work on project number two which is drastically different than my last project… But I’m so happy to be writing again! #WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

#WritingPrompts Ren Faire! Rowan—Spends way too much on Pottery Ally—Dresses up every year Ty—Insists on seeing all the shows Alec—Is just there to make his sister and boyfriend happy
