Novel November always kicks my ass. This year, however, I have maintained a steady word count and am hopefully going to have two bare-bones novels before the end of the year. #writing #writersofbluesky

Definitely his overwhelming anxiety and protective streak. Dustin wants to keep the truth of his bullying/alienation from his family. This also makes him desperate to stay at a job where he feels safe. Internally, he's a mess. #writingprompt #writing

My current read is American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. Dustin would 1000% be okay with having access to drugs via the Silk Road. Way better than the ditch weed he gets from the dude at the record store. #FiFRevPit #writersofbluesky #writersky

The Movie Gallery I frequented as a child. There is nothing better than the smell of VHS tapes, boxed candy, and fresh popcorn all lit by the glow of pink neons. #FiFRevPit #writing #writersofbluesky

Socials got away from me yesterday 😥 Dustin loves spending the holidays with his family. As someone who is judged and often ostracized by the community, the safety, comfort, and acceptance of a cinnamon-scented home is irreplaceable. #FiFRevPit #writing #writersofbluesky

Can you be a redeemed sinner without a shitty ex waiting in the wings? In W&B, Illya fed into Giles' desire to punish. By feeding that darkness, she created a frenzied predator. That darkness still waits ready for Giles to loosen the chains. #writing #writevember #writersofbluesky

Let's talk series. I'm in a 12 year love affair with Anita Blake by Laurel K Hamilton, who is dyslexic. These books feature diverse characters and experience, later books prop up therapy, and if you want to get deep, they also provide commentary religion and fanaticism. #writesky #writersofbluesky

We struggle when we feel as if we have not accomplished enough. Without actively moving towards a goal, we're stagnant. I need a breeze to ruffle through these moss laden trees, breathing life into the long forgotten forest.

This post encapsulates today and yesterday's prompt. Cemetary Boys by Aiden Thomas, wow what an exciting novel full of mystery! I loved the magical system and feel like it is a wonderful story to dip your toes into learning about other cultures. #writesky #writersofbluesky #bookvember

When I was dreaming up Whiskey and Blood, the song Meet Virginia kept coming up on random playlists. I built a backstory around that, and it seemed to fit well with her personality. I also very much enjoy the nickname options. #writersofbluesky #writesky #writing

Now our main antagonist for W&B. #FiFRevPit #writersofbluesky #writing #butatiger

Let's do the antagonist for Like the Movies first. #FiFRevPit #writersofbluesky #writing

I quite love The Blue Sword by Robin McKinely. Hari shows the tenacious spirit that women hold. A truly wonderful depiction of how women embrace their surroundings and meet challenges head-on. One of my favorite smart-girls-with-a-sword in fantasy. #bookvember #writersofbluesky

Today, I am overflowing with typos.

If Dustin (MC of Like the Movies) had a gun, he would absolutely ask Travis to join him at the quarry to attempt to impress him with his. Queue way too many shooting straight jokes and awkward, painful flirtation. #writingprompt #writing #writersofbluesky

Based on feedback, here is an updated pitch for W&B (which I originally had as a blurb!) #FiFRevpit #writersofbluesky #writing

As a decrepit forest creature who participated in AR, my reading was not monitored outside of the color category. This meant I had access to more adult books than my peers. Did I read King and VC Andrews too young? Probably, but it also meant Tolkien and Wilde before 10.

My pitch for Whiskey & Blood. #FiFRevpit #mockpit #writersofbluesky #writing

I (28F) am lying to my bosses (300M/34M) about why I'm working for them. Now I've moved into their house (long story), would I be the asshole if I didn't tell them about the psychotic, shape-shifting cult leader who is holding my memories in exchange for information about them? #FiFRevPit #writing

Prepping a piece for submission is intense. At what point do you declare it is just ready to be sent into the world? #writing #writersofbluesky

Oh man. Dustin (Like the Movies) is definitely bringing some stale popcorn from The Movie Palace, because he totally forgot he was invited. Virginia (Whiskey & Blood) has a store bought blueberry pie, red eyes, and burnt crust pieces in her hair. #FiFRevPit #writing #writevember

Rewind. Eject. Insert. 📼 Warning: This tape contains the yearning of Say Anything combined with small town politics, alt boys, queer awakenings, quirky side characters, and too much 90's nostalgia. Press Play on Like the Movies. #W #YA #QuestPit #writevember

For your enjoyment, a snippet of Whiskey & Blood. #W #DF #F #QuestPit

Good morning, Quest Pitters! Whiskey & Blood is a magical realism title set on Earth, with an alternate history twist. If you enjoy: Plus Size/Sassy FMCs, Sexy/Dangerous Cinnamon Roll Boyfriends, and 'Touch them and Die' Short Kings, than Whiskey & Blood is for you. #W #F #DF #R #questpit

Ooo this is a good one! #writevember #RevPitFiF #writingcommunity

Chronically late as ever, I'm Rowan. A cryptid queer author emerging from my cocoon for #writevember WIP: 90s nostalgia, queer first love, YA, holiday/romcom. This is an expansion of a short story previously developed. Goal this moth is to hit between 30k and 50k words on this first draft.

A writing challenge made for real people with lives, jobs, and maybe three different WIPs fighting for attention 👀 Write 30k words in November. That’s it. And you can even start prepping with us! Check out our official Writing Circle at storyforge.com/30kin30days  #booksky

Grammatically correct coffee to start the work day after a 5am wake up. After work emails, I will be working on a love letter to the 90s in the form of a queer romcom. What are you writing today? #writing #writer

What are you tired of seeing in Romantasy? Any specific tropes or topics?

Today's cuppa comes from my coffee pot. A wonderful treat on mornings like this. The heat has broken, I can pretend the cool air is crisp with the promise of Fall.

Recently switched to using coconut water in my cold brew, instead of regular. I think the flavor profile is quite lovely, has anyone else tried this?

Pecking out a few words during lunch. I'm really enjoying this plunge into Gothic horror.

I'm a notebook/pinterest board fiend. I jot ideas down for scenes (or just the loose passages themselves) on basically anything I can find. They all get shoved together in my treasure trove of scraps.

I saw something about killing your darlings. My first thought was 'Babe that's what the expanded universe is for'. If you know, you know. #writing #writer #youcanttellmehowmanybookstohaveinmyseriea

A Cosmic Opera Destruction follows chaos throughout the infinitus. Darkness treads the endless abyss of oblivion. Light manifests all that we know in Bedlam. Time wanders the ages. Death clings to life by a thread through arcanis. Love is lost in the haze of elsewhere. #YoudeservepIt #A #F #Q #POC
