Wrote 1k words for Sun this morning. He finally talked to me, and the words just poured out.
Next is his first battle - which he'll lose badly. It'll be a hard time for him, but it'll also lead him directly to his future happy place. (Yes. He deserves that!)
Survived the office. Left ten minutes early because I could NOT STAND it any longer. (It's fine. We're allowed.) Grabbed groceries, was completely wiped when I got home. Nap and Valheim.
#WordWeavers 5/16: If your characters were in a museum, how would they act?
Sun actually gets to experience something like that in his story.
He's stunned, impressed and shocked. Learning about the true history of his country is eye-opening. It takes him quite some time to come to terms with it.
Laisal is less surprised but also very shaken. (I'll have fun writing that!)
I've only been in Melbourne half a day and already I'm writing another story. This is probably a short or novella. Getting out of my normal routine, and away from the happy blandness that is Northern Tasmania, has really sparked something.
Do you find writing away from your home easier or more difficult?
Good morning, #WritingCommunity. Yesterday morning I placed our new boy, adopted from a shelter after he was trapped on the streets, on the chair next to me when I sat down to write. This morning when I sat down, I looked over and saw this. 🖤🤍 #cats#catsofmastodon
The fourth chapter of Stardust: Labyrinth is out! After the minor setback in the third chapter, the group ventures deeper into the eponymous labyrinth, and the sheer scale of the complex becomes apparent...
We have just 7 days left of the kickstarter to reach our target. I am so grateful for all of the support I've received so far. Together, we can make the second series a reality!
#WordWeavers 2405.16 — If your characters were in a museum, how would they act?
It would depend on how they ended up in the museum. If the devil-girl were put on display, it would end badly for whomever put her there. Were she a patron, she'd be indistinguishable from the crowd. Once she got herself into a sealed vault without breaking in or using the vault door; the interior turned out to be somewhat of a museum (it had family pictures), but she didn't steal anything. It did help her solve a kidnapping, however.
#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 9 Nbr 15 — Have you ever attended a writer's fair / festival to promote your work? Would you?
I haven't.
I consider it if it were for the trade, that is for writers, publishers, and booksellers. If it were for the general public, considering that I feel knowing my gender could add a subtext to my stories I don't want, I'd have to think long and hard of the benefits of attending.
#WordWeavers 2405.15 — Who are your most and least gullible characters?
Of the MC's in the two current WiPs, it's exactly the opposite of what you might think.
The devil-girl had been very successful in most all her endeavors, but she'd never gotten to where she was if she wasn't used by someone every... single... time. Mind you, it doesn't always end well for those who gulled her!
Wintereyes comes across as an ingénue and innocent enough that you'll fear she'll get used like a tissue and thrown away dirtied. Not the case. She mediated between a dragon and a farmer whose silo got burnt down. The dragon apologized! (So did the farmer.) She's observant, quiet. Around people she's shy, but says what she sees and sets misunderstandings straight. Kind and helpful, everyone—humans, dragons, wolves, even cats—ends up doing what she sees is best for them and they like it, despite plans they might have had for her. Because she understands what she doesn't know, her skepticism and guilelessness plays havoc on those trying to use her.
#PennedPossibilities 316 — Does your MC or SC have a hard time connecting with others?
Both MCs in the current two WiPs have a hard time connecting with others for different reasons. They could be summed up for one they're people and for the other they're not animals.
If you've followed my posts, you're welcome to guess which is which.
Poem acceptance!!! 🥳 This one was a long time finding a home too. As of now I have no more finished pieces and nothing out on sub. I guess I'd better finish something ha ha 😅
