Little #characterdesign boards for my two main characters/POVs #writingcommunity
Art is hard ๐ญ๐
This is genuinely incredible
Anyone else found it almost impossible to focus this year, or is it just me? ๐ญ
Had such plans to do so much writing and get so much done, and it's already September, yet all I've managed to do is #write like 4 chapters ๐

Been getting into #drawing again lately after a loooong while... and also plotting!

been updating my website this afternoon and it turns out I have written quite a lot of books?
*sets tomorrow's morning alarm to be "Heat of the Moment"*
Thank you, I'm going to make a list today!๐
BUT these characters do end up spending a lot of time together, especially as the series goes on โ could that be something that makes dual POV less valuable/wanted?
(Opinions are welcome on this!)
I feel like adding a second POV (love interest) could add depth to the plot and be great for showing those moments that's are better 'observed' rather than 'experienced' (if that makes sense?)
Desperately wanting to write but not having the brain space to do so is... sad ๐ซ๐ญ
Everything is worthy of a spreadsheet these days. When did I get old?
Is it too bold to want to complete draft one of books 2, 3 AND 4 in 2025? ๐
Sat here sobbing 'cause my MC's horse is about to die
Made the decision to switch my series to slow burn, and this is HURTING ME
But it's so satisfying
Just kiss already ๐ญ๐ซ
A character's flaws are what make them human. Don't be tempted to skip them!
After weeks of struggling to write, it always feels so good to be back at it
In my WIP, there are 13 months that alternate between being 27 and 27 days long, with the 13th "month" being made up of four Vicissitudes (7 days each) that take place at the end of every season
All months and New Years start on the equivalent of "Monday", so dates always stay the same
Hey, #writingcommunity, what does the calendar look like in your fantasy world? Is there a set calendar, some other system, or do the people of the world/country not bother with it?
Ooh, thank you! Definitely going to be trying it out
Starting a weekly exercise of picking a random landscape/building/scene and writing it out to help with these damn descriptive skills
Also - perfectly good to recycle and use for future writing!
Thoughts on write.ellipsus.com? Only just heard about it today, but it looks promising for anyone worried about AI scraping from places like MS ๐

Y'all, please remember that your first draft is allowed to be "garbage".
There will probably be scenes missing
There will probably be plot holes
There will probably be a thousand different issues with it
But that's okay! The more you write, the more you learn for the next round

Get in, friends.
So many possibilities for stories that take place in this fantasy world after the first series BUT I NEED TO FOCUS
So excited for this, y'all
Her faith is not steadfast. It is not true. She wavers in the face of death, newfound regret staking its claim in the deep creases between her brows. Her fate rests in my hands - and arms - as her nails dig in just a little tighter. She recoils as an inhuman clicking pierces the churning waves. The god she spent a lifetime begging to meet awaits her just several feet below, yet only now does she hesitate to meet him. โWitness,โ I whisper. Her icy eyes widen in recognition of her own threatening mantra. I, too, am gripped by the shock of what Iโm about to do.
