#Febchantment The witches in my family can use magic as well as a demon and a diety. Magic effects the witches as it's a part of who they are.

#Febchantment Magic is very important. Something magical happening is the reason my story kicks off. It's mentioned throughout in several instances, but it's not as important as the first event.
#WritingCommunity #WritersSky #NowWriting
#Febchantment It is illegal for witches to use magic against a human. It's illegal for a human to ask a witch to use magic to harm/influence another human. It was hard to enforce until a GT witched created a 'lie detection' spell.
#WritersSky #WritingCommunity #NowWriting
#Febchantment Witches are the only ones who can wield magic. However, since witches can have children with humans, their children are also able to wield it even though they aren't full witches. The more diluted your blood the less you can do.

I want to improve my skill. I have the drive and some skill, but I want to get to the best version of myself. Ideally, I'd also get faster. I'd like to be able to release two books a year. It's doable. I just have to focus.
#PretendPanel #WritersSky #WritingCommunity #NowWriting
I've outlined each book differently.
Book One: 3 Act Story Structure
Book Two: Subway Map
Book Three: Gossipy old woman telling other people's business.
Book three's outline is coming along quite nicely.

...what's that one idea scratching your brain you can't wait to get out?
I have an idea for a sapphic love story between life and death.

I've formally put my goals 'on paper'. I officially start on the 1st because it's a Thursday and I host SU&W. I set myself up to win in that I'm going to a SU&W Tues. and Thurs. On Wednesday I joined an online writing/critique circle.
#WritersSky #BlackWritersSky #NowWriting #AmWriting
So, just between us writers...
...how did we do on our goals? Did we meet them? Get super close? Give up and eat chips?
I finished book 2 and made good progress on draft 2 of book 1. Also, I started a horor novel and set up my writer's email address.

Finished the script. Waffles (the cat) never lays like that while I’m writing. It’s almost as if he knew he factored into the script somehow.

...how many drafts do you do before you're satified you have the very best manuscript in front of you? I'm only on draft 2 and think I'll be working on this for a while.
#BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #NowWriting #AmWriting
Draft 2 is going so well! I love being able to expand the world I've created.
I'm really happy with where it's going.
#BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
Alright! Draft 2!
I really need to organize my editing notes. Right now I'm switching between Docs.
#BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
#NowWriting #AstrobottheMovie
And this will have multiple sequels. Already do them lined up.
And book 3 has been fully plotted. Let's see if the book actually resembles the outline. The last two didn't.
#BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
Ten pages into draft 2 of book 1. I'm stopping for the day to do something else. What that is I don't know.
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
Party peeps,
When did you start your newsletter? It was suggested to me that I start building a newsletter list now. I'm still in the writing phase so I have nothing to share at the moment. Actually, I don't now how I would build a list.
#BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
Today's total word count: 1373
I want to keep going, but it's making my heart ache. I know I wrote it but it's heart wrenching.
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #NowWriting #AmWriting
So, maybe I'm just gassing myself up (sometimes you have to) but I really think my writing has gotten better. I know it's just my third book, but my writing is different.
Or it could simply be that it's a different type of book.

Book 2 is finished!
The ending is sad, but there was no other way for it to end.
I won't touch this again for MONTHS, and that makes me happy.
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting
How many of you have read books on the craft? I didn't and wonder if I should. I just jumped right in and wrote my first book. I'm now working on my second.
If you did read books, which do you recommend?
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #NowWriting
My loves...
...we're deep in the new year. How're those goals coming along? I'm still plugging away at book 2. After that, I'm taking a long step back from doing anything writing related.
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #NowWriting #AmWriting
The plotting for the ending of the book is going well. I've figured out a piece that had been eluding me for MONTHS. Now that I have a map, I can get to where I'm going.
Yes, I did plot the book. However, the details can be tricky.
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #Nowwriting
I see a lot you of fine folks submitting work to magazines and anthologies. Did you feel you had to go that way OR is it something you wanted to do? Is it a way to introduce your work to others who might not have otherwise found you?

I have not written anything since the 25th. Don't know what's going on but the words aren't coming. Honestly, not sure what to do because I haven't run into this before.
I'm not discouraged because I'll get through it but man...
#BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #NowWriting #AmWriting
The rough draft I am working on was 50,181 words and 16 chapters of word vomit. Now I am taking my time, going through the chapters -one by one - to edit, fix, add, or subtract. Currently, I am at 50,802 words.
