(ID: a photo of five sheets of music overlapping. The treble and bass clef symbols are visible, as are the first few notes on the sheets.)

(ID: a photo of a red rose with frost on its petals.)

(ID: a photo of a plant and two roses lying on top of a handwritten letter, which is on top of a white blanket.)

Thanks for tagging me, @oh-no-another-idea! :D

Here's an excerpt from the last chapter of Houses Full of Deceit (spoiler: Vi's nightmares are about to come true):

The only thing that had stopped her suggesting it before was a dread of what mad things Phil might get up to if left alone. The Lennox case last year had been quite nerve-wracking. Even worse was the fact Phil was now writing to Leopold Colman. Vi sometimes woke up in a cold sweat from dreams that Phil, left to her own devices, had taken leave of her senses and married Colman.

character voice tag

tagged by @ahordeofwasps thank you! my dialogue was “I’ll take that.”

Rules: Rewrite the line of dialogue from the person who tagged you into the voice of your OC’s! (You can include a short beat of action to help establish character if you want.) Pass on the tag with a new line of dialogue.

tagging @pens-swords-stuff @artdecosupernova-writing @talesfromaurea and @nightwardenminthara with the dialogue: “That was your last warning.”

Vivien: “That’s mine,” he says, before snatching it out of your hands.

Rainier: “I’ll just be taking that, then. Much obliged, sweetheart.”

Alice: “Mine now!” Alice grins as she plucks it from your grasp, holding it out of your reach.

Wolfe: “I’ll be having that.”

ECLIPSE CELEBRATION

Isaac Asimov excerpt from the foreword to his short story "What If—," (first published 1952), personally collected in "Nightfall and Other Stories," (published 1969).

Reading both Asimov's writing and his behind the scenes thoughts on his own stories and the craft of writing always just has me going, this guy gets it, I get him and his popularity, because I've been asked the same question before, too. Where do you get your ideas...

From anything! if you are willing to think hard enough and long enough. Yes yes yes.

WIP Questionnaire

Tagged by @winglesswriter here!

Gently tagging: @bee-barnes-author @mysticstarlightduck @mister-writes @pandoras-comment-box @ahordeofwasps @theprissythumbelina and an open tag. Blank questions below the cut!

For the Guardians of Eternity Series:

1. What is the first part of your WIP that you created?

The initial idea was about a magical bear of some sort that would appear and guide people to a magic forest. The story grew from that one idea.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

Instrumental, for sure. I really like Bear McCreary (Outlander, Godzilla, Rings of Power, etc.) and Lorne Balfe (His Dark Materials, Wheel of Time), so I’d be happy with any composer with similar vibes.

3. What are your favorite characters that you made? Why?

My creatures! My cute little guys 💜 I love them so much. But I love each of my MC’s equally—it’s impossible for me to choose. I’d say I have the most fun with Adrin, but my best writing is with Hettie.

4. What other pieces of media do you think your fan base would share?

If you like anything character-driven with found family, magical creatures and fantasy worlds where nothing is ever what it seems, you’ll vibe with me. I’ve taken inspiration from a lot of my fave shows/books, so there’s something for everyone.

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your WIP?

Everything. Tomb of Light is the first novel I have ever attempted to write, and the first time I’ve written fantasy. It’s hard to know when to let loose and when to pull back—which is how I’ve learned that I am an underwriter. Big time.

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

Creatures!!! Hell yeah! I made a post here about them.

7. How do your characters get around? (Ex. Trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

By foot or by horse (except Adrin, who is afraid of horses. He walks everywhere. Like a fool.)

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?

I have started outlining and writing the sequel to ToL, The Forest’s Embrace! In addition, I am also working on ToL’s first round of edits (which is very hard without alpha readers).

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe) of your WIP do you think will draw people in?

I have a hero to antagonist arc that is essentially an exploration of grief following trauma and a toxic relationship. That is what I think will help my story stand out from other fantasy stories—the magic is really just an instrument that helps the characters heal. (That is the most boiled down explanation I can give.)

10. What are your hopes for your WIP?

I would love to query ToL by 2025 and have it published within the next few years. For right now, I just want more people to connect with the story and see it for what it can be one day.
