So 1260 words of outline has turned into 6200 words of actual prose This ratio feels pretty good for a first draft of a YA novel. Wanting this one to end up being 60-70k. Wait, that means I've already written about 10% !! 😍

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
―A.A. Milne
We #turtlewriters know this too. So long as we keep going at our own pace, placing one foot, one word after another, we will reach our goals. So, let's do it! 🙂🐢❤️
Good luck with your WIP!🍀

Anyone make up words for their universes secretly just to get a rhyme for a word that doesn't have one to make it exotic?
I needed a name for an animal, and florenge sounded good. As they are aquatic reptiles though, not one florenge is orange.

Edd choked over his weeping, feeling he could barely breath and wishing, really actually wishing he couldn't breath.

Mostly successful on these goals!
Two more chapters edited and three more submissions logged. I was hoping to get a lot more submissions in, but time is cruel.
Hope everyone had a good week of writing!

There is so much hardship in the setting of my main WIP, but what we get closest to is the MC living through months of seperation from all that he loves, & his slow recover from near death by torture.
The worst is the pain to his parents.

Do you consider yourself a writer or an author?
I am a writer, first and foremost. Though I've authored a published book, writing is what I do every day, where I seek solace, and how I learn.

Sunday Acrostic
Carried by our hands, we yearn
Lead into hugs, tearful or not
Under the stars, another bop
Some other rock 'n rolling in the dark
The gravity of the whole lot
Envelops us under different names
Religions fail to explain

Good morning! I have a million other things on my mind right now besides writing. Will I write anyway? More than likely because it'll keep me from overthinking. Have a super Sunday! #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity
#WritingCommunity I'm pretty sure I just wrote one of the worlds longest openings. 🤣
There are days when my thoughts #cluster around you, when the desire for and impossibility of us twists my brain until my head almost splits.
I then drop deep into my body and breathe until I feel, again, what really is.
Do you know what I find, each time?
Love.

#QueerPrompts Day 19: what would you do if you woke up in your story?
I would probably panic 😂 depending on exactly *where* I woke up, I'd either panic more or have a better chance of surviving.

#QueerPrompts Day 2: obscure fact about your MC
I can't really think of one for Braelyn without being a major spoiler. As for Mathius, he has a minor sensitivity to the sun (the "Upper World's light") due to being half-demon.

#FantasyIndiesMaytober Day 19: hardships
Braelyn definitely went through some hardships when she was young. There was a period of time where she wasn't sure where she was going to get her next meal, and then almost dying of illness.
#WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting #writer #fantasy
#FantasyIndiesMaytober Day 2: introduce your villain(s)
It'd take too long to introduce all the villains. I'll stick with Velimiar, the second-born son of the demon king Seithenin, and Mathius's twin brother. He is desperate for his father's approval and hates Braelyn immensely.

#WritingCommunity #WritingQ
What's a compliment you received early on in your writing journey that meant a lot to you?
For me, the biggest was that the depth of my story telling made up for my bad spelling & lack of style.
(I only half believed it, but it still meant a lot)
I #amwriting tonight. I finished the first draft of my next short. WC: 9761. It will appear in an #erotica anthology released in June. More details soon! #WritingCommunity

This week, I read Cloti's Song by @danfitzwrites.bsky.social and it gets a strong 5/5 from me. I absolutely ADORE Cloti - I'd love to hang out with her IRL, she's so calming and serene. Well, most of the time. Anyway, highly recommended!

I'm doing my final reread of my second book before shipping it off to my brilliant CP…and I just have to say, I love this book. It may not be for everyone. Second books are always a strange brew. But I love it.

Me, sweating bullets, wondering if I'm derailing someone's story with my feedback.
Person: thank you so much for x, y,z.
Me: surely they're just being nice, they don't mean it.🤦🏾♀️🙃😭
I wish I could carry my brain out of my skull and set it on a table for an honest talk. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting
This is correct - if you see me spacing out, I am probably doing some deep thinking about my #WIP ...I mean, I might also be having a seizure, but I'm probably thinking and absorbing. Just make sure I don't fall off of something

“Don't look at your feet to see if you are doing it right. Just dance.”
―Anne Lamott
Like dancers, no two writers are the same. Have the courage to be *you*. You're the only one who can dance your *dance* & write your story - so stop worrying & just go for it! Write! 🙂🐢❤️ 🍀
