#JuneWorldbuilders 21: Myths or legends about creatures The only legend currently coming to mind is of the dragons. Full-blooded dragons have not been sighted on Asloria for a long time, but their descendants (the dragonkin) can be found in— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

June #QueerPrompts 21: Father figure in your story? I think Haltack is the closest thing Braelyn has to a father figure. Even though she hasn't seen him in a while during "Son of Embers", she knows he's looking out for her. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJune 21: Father figures or family in WIP I think Haltack is the closest thing Braelyn has to a father figure. Even though she hasn't seen him in a while during "Son of Embers", she knows he's looking out for her. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Korrin checks in on Keyleth. #CriticalRole #VoxMachina

I have several regular jackets, but that time Kip had to wear an arm sling is funnier 😂 From Poe's arc of The Atlas Brothers Break the Multiverse #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

#LateNightWrite Bouncing off my answer for Q1, but I'm proud of Braelyn for also not giving up. She's certainly been through things, but she's still living every day and making the most of her situation. She's eventually gonna have that realization too. 💙 #WritingCommunity

#LateNightWrite I'm still really proud of how my husband and I came up with the rest of Braelyn's arc after we started playing D&D. The lore that eventually came from us putting our heads together is also something I'm very excited to dive into. #WritingCommunity

#LateNightWrite I'm proud that I haven't given up. There've been times where I wanted to or I thought that this journey wasn't worth it, but I always end up coming back to these characters and the story I want to tell. #WritingCommunity

Well, this explained a LOT, really #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRolefanart

June #QueerPrompts 19: Free Friday Got today off due to Juneteenth, so I've just been chilling. Took a shower, did some reading, and now I'm about to go get groceries. I really did mean to sit down and try to write, but I can always do it when I get back home.

#FantasyIndiesJune 19: What makes you DNF a book? I think I've only DNF'd 1 book (at least that I can remember). It was "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch. Idk, I just was really bored for the first few chapters and didn't care enough to continue reading.

REVIVAL

#JuneWorldbuilders 18: Companion creatures I haven't decided on if there will be a lot of "mythological" creature companions. Most of the companions so far have been your everyday animals, with the exception of one. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

June #QueerPrompts 18: How do your character(s) handle being bullied? Braelyn was bullied relentlessly by Velimiar when they were kids, but it took her a long time to learn how to stand up for herself. Nowadays, she's usually able to ignore it. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJune 18: Do you tend to be an underwriter or an overwriter? I feel like I'm an overwriter. That, at the very least, was the case with "A Daughter's Hope". I had a hard time cutting the word count down to where it is now (~89.5k). #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

There are SO many common mistakes you can catch in your writing before handing your story over to an editor. And learning how to self-edit effectively will dramatically sharpen your craft. Here are 5 things to look for on your next pass through your WIP. 👇

My dark eco-fantasy novella is available through most book retailers now! This short read is full of feminine rage, eco-rage, and sapphic kissing. Link is available via my Linktree (in my bio). #WriteSky #BookSky #Fantasy

#JuneWorldbuilders 17: Enemy monsters Right now, the closest thing to enemy monsters I have are the demons. I still haven't figured out how many kinds there are or how many we will see during the series. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

June #QueerPrompts 17: What would a mascot of your story be? I think Teylas the hawk (Brae's animal companion) would be a good mascot. Either him, or a golden-maned lion (no spoilers for why). #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

#FantasyIndiesJune 17: How would your characters do on a road trip? I mean... my cast is technically on a road trip with every adventure they go on 😆 Brae's the mom friend making sure no one gets lost, Jace and Esta are the— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

what if I vowed to kill your family and you had conflicting thoughts about it and we didn't like each other but we started to develop a tentative yet precarious understanding and we were both b #criticalrole

Any critical role fans on here? Most probably... This was quick and a bit unpolished. Couldn't think what to do in the background #criticalrole #murraymagnesson #art #myart #dungeonsanddragons

June #QueerPrompts 16: Character hobbies Braelyn and Mathius like to read in their spare time. Brae also likes playing music for Malicai. Mathius isn't a musician, but he does enjoy coming up with stories. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJune 16: What inspires your MC? Despite not knowing them, part of Braelyn is inspired by the stories of her parents and their heroic deeds. She's also inspired by her friends, and eventually by her son. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

As the author, you obviously find your story interesting...but will your readers? What feels exciting inside your head doesn't always translate to the page. To avoid a DNF, check your manuscript for these 7 mistakes that bore readers fast.👇

#JuneWorldbuilders 15: Are your monsters the cute or scary kind? I'd say it's a 80-20 split, scary and cute. I'm pulling a lot of inspiration from D&D (since books 4+ are based on my D&D campaign), as well as some of my favorite anime. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

see you soon! #persona4

Here is my newest painting, made with watercolors and golden ink. I hope you like it.✍️🏔 Now my vacation is over, but I hope I'll find some time to create again. ✨️

#SFFChat I honestly can't answer for Braelyn, because absolutely nothing sounds right 🤣 so I'll go with the 2nd question. Jace gets away with manipulating someone with magic in book 1, even though Mathius was a witness to the whole thing. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

#SFFChat For some reason, my mind is focused on Mr. Wolf from The Bad Guys movie 🤣 I'm a sucker for suave/charming characters, regardless of if they redeem themselves or not. I also love Mr. Big from Zootopia, I cracked up every time he was on screen.

#SFFChat The crimes across Asloria are pretty much the same as IRL, with the exception of magic-based crimes (such as mind control and the like). Depending on where the crime(s) took place, criminals are either treated pretty harshly or have the option of paying a fine. Celestine, for example, has—

#SFFChat Hi, I'm Kat! I finally got a job & started it this week after 5+ months of job hunting. I also had a lovely date night with my husband last night, in which we had seafood paella and gazpacho deviled eggs before we went to see "Obsession" (which, OMG, creeped us both tf out!).

#FantasyIndiesJune 14: Do you like maps in your books? I do love maps, but I will admit that I never remember to look at them 🤣 I do plan to have maps in my books! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

She's never done a murder ever in her life :P #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRolefanart

Big snek, full tummy (again, prooobably not Wic's mom) #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRolefanart

#JuneWorldbuilders 12: Famous in-world artists? Not an artist, but Jace's younger brother Nirvol is a very famous writer. He travels a lot and writes about the places he visits, the people he meets, and even the creatures he encounters. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

June #QueerPrompts 12: Free Friday My first few days of work have been pretty good so far! My boss keeps saying he's impressed with how quickly I'm picking things up, so yay :)

#FantasyIndiesJune 12: Is there a specific time you like to write? I seem to get my best writing done at night, but... now that I have a 9-5 job, it's gonna be very hard to do that. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Don't think I mentioned it here, but I got a job!!! 🥳 only took me 5+ months 😬

June #QueerPrompts 11: Is your MC more likely to accidentally hurt someone or on purpose? On accident. Brae doesn't like hurting people (with 1 specific exception, and if you've been here a while, you know who it is). #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJune 11: MC’s favorite childhood memory Brae doesn't have a lot of favorite memories (her childhood was rough to say the least), but one of them is when Kerrej gifted her her first lute and taught her how to play. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

June #QueerPrompts 10: Something you had to research for your story I haven't done research for "Son of Embers", but I remember researching Victorian/Renaissance style fashion and the travel speed of horses for "A Daughter's Hope". #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

#FantasyIndiesJune 10: Would your characters stop to ask for directions? The girls and Mathius would. Jace and Borsar (maybe some of the other guys) would either grumble or pretend to already know where they need to go. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday
