I was just wondering about this the other day! Thank you for sharing, it's very helpful!

Great question. I think Thorne probably bribes Arlo to go. With something like a cozy date night in, x days of good behavior, or if Arlo was feeling especially obstinate - agreeing to spend the holiday back home with Arlo's family. Cause Thorne hates the holidays. So equal trade on that one.

Honestly, I forgot I was doing this. Work and school have me swamped. BUT I'm gonna take my free day today to revisit Day 6 prompt. My favorite writing tool - that I find most helpful - is 4thewords. Great for my ADHD. Highly recommend.

It wouldn't change a whole lot, mainly because despite being from a hunting forward family, Arlo has never held a gun and can't aim for shit. Home boy wouldn't change the plot line or the way events unfold at all πŸ˜”

Arlo wouldn't want to be caught dead at a fancy party. Unfortunately for him, Thorne loves them. He loves the getting dressed up aspect of and he's also a social butterfly so he loves mingling. Plus the free drinks/food.

Werewolves in my world have two forms they can use. One is Lycan form, and thats the standard bipedal monstrous wolven form. The other is Wolf form where they take on an entierly 4-legged canine appearance. Lycan forms stand a foot taller than the individual is, Wolf forms stand a foot shorter.

Oh Ariana we're really in it now. Arlo is still very shocked by the Situationsℒ️ he's being forced to experience. Though he really shouldn't be at this point. The events over the last 6 chapters should have been eye opening, and prepared him for this

In my universe supernatural creatures can cross breed. There are angels, demons, werewolves, vampires, and merfolk. Moonfallen includes one of my favorite little guys who is what's called a hellhound. A demon/werewolf cross.In his werewolf forms he has horns! And in human his tail and horns persist.

I got a lot of lore bouncing around in my brain. Lets see what shakes loose!

I had a piece I really was excited to share for today's WIPSnip...but after much thought I decided it was just a tad too spoilery πŸ˜” So I'll share this instead.

I didn't really have any good, compelling snips for today despite several instances of using the word nice in my WIP. So here's snip from Thorne and Arlo's meeting.

Day 3: So currently my WIP Playlist is a mess, its so incoherent and has so many different vibes. So instead I'll share the Playlist for the main love interest: Thorne. Resident rogue werewolf and local nuisance.

(2/2) Grief strips away everything but the raw truth and my truth was: I wanted to write. So in honor of my grandmother, who supported and nurtured my love of books and writing. I challenged myself to write the novel I'd always wanted to. Moonfallen wouldn't exist without her memory fueling me

Day 2: I started writing as soon as I could hold a pen. I've written with friends in the quiet hours all my life. I tried my hand at my first novel in 2023. However illness forced me to abandon it. This year grief pulled me back to the page. (1/2)

When the pack feels their alpha is going against laws and endangering them, the council of elders can be called to step in. They will converce with the packs ancestors to determine if the alpha's choices will be honored or overturned. In this case...Thorne's protection.

(2/2) However, they soon come to find out the MC has their own ancient blood. The story is gritty, dark and follows the MC as they learn to navigate the inhuman world. Unfolding as they learn ancient secrets, experience sacred rituals, and most of all blur the lines between danger and desire πŸΊβœ¨οΈπŸŒ™

Hi everyone, I'm Abie McKnight and I'm currently working on my debut novel: Moonfallen. Moonfallen is a queer romance/urban fantasy story about a human who gets caught up in the world of the supernatural after being rescued by werewolves. (1/2)

Thorne is haunted by the fact he's been viewed as a monster since birth. For reasons completely unrelated to being a werewolf. In fact he didn't even know he had lycan blood until he shifted for the first time at 15. That shift did not go well, and he left a lot of blood in his wake...

We writers talk a lot about our WIPs, characters and process. How about we get a thread started for the unspoken heros...our furry writing buddies! The ones who keep us company and occasionally impede our progress but keep us motivated nevertheless.

Alro not only putting his foot in his mouth, but also playing with fire. He's been warned not to use the 'M' word when referring to werewolves but especially not to direct it at Thorne...

Absolutely. Tourist season is at its peak in fall & around Halloween in Khario as the main pull of the small, historic, costal town is the abundant rumors of supernatural sightings and encounters. It's built on it's spooky reputation so naturally thats when they see the most visitors πŸŒ’βœ¨οΈπŸΊ

My goal when I started writing Moonfallen: nurture my inner child and write a book about werewolves. Now? I have a whole series (Secrets of Khario) planned exploring most of my characters, giving them arcs/plots, and love interests. Like sheesh Abie...finish the initial book first.

Arlo is turning off all the lights and avoiding the door while Thorne is busy hosting a Halloween event as his bar complete with a spooky special menu, and costume contest. Winner gets their meal/drinks free for the night, a plaque to take home, and a physical VIP Pass to skip lines/order queues.

"I feel that fear as if it were my own, but I am here to assure both you and the pack: no one is in danger here. And if danger does come knocking at our door, I will fight to protect you all until the breath is stripped from my lungs. This I solemnly swear to you."

Oh yes! He has what everyone jokingly calls a 'not pack' which is essentially just a band of fellow rogues (read:found family). That group includes his recently found older half-brother who, like everyone else in the group, views Thorne more as exhausting, but a loved part of the family.

(2/2) Some people have learned to harness his hair pin trigger, and not for the greater good.
Thorne doesn't mind being feared in that regard. He's not a pack wolf anyway, he's too headstrong to follow anothers leadership. But even if you fear him...just don't let him hear you call him a monster.
