the best thing about creating is you get to create :) unfortunately the worst thing about creating is that you have to.. create

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

be honest. are you guys only hanging out with me because of the prophecy.

[flowerbwrites]

the urge to write is like a cat meowing for dear life for someone to open the goddamn door, who then shows utter disinterest in said open door

I didn’t read the dates and immediately searched my library for Prince of the Palisades - I guess I’ll have to wait!!

I LOVE FORESHADOWING!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE EXCRUCIATINGLY DELIBERATE WORD CHOICE THAT PROBABLY CONVEYS NOTHING IN THE FIRST READ THROUGH BUT WILL JUMP OUT AT YOU ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DETAILS MENTIONED IN PASSING THAT BECOME RELEVANT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WHEN CHARACTERS SAY SOMETHING WITH TWO MEANINGS AND YOU CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND THE OTHER MEANING WHEN YOU KNOW THE CHARACTER BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!

This advertisement is for Infinity Alchemist, a dark academia fantasy about a quest that leads three young alchemists toward dangerous truth, legendary love, and extraordinary power from the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After, Kacen Callender.

The art featured in this image is by Chris Sack. 

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Defy All Limits.

For Ash Woods, practicing alchemy is a crime. Only an elite few are legally permitted to study the science of magic—so when Ash is rejected by Lancaster College of Alchemic Science, he takes a job as the school’s groundskeeper instead, forced to learn alchemy in secret. When he’s discovered by the condescending and brilliant apprentice Ramsay Thorne, Ash is sure he's about to be arrested—but instead of calling the reds, Ramsay surprises Ash by making him an offer: Ramsay will keep Ash's secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source, a sacred text that gives its reader extraordinary power. As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists—Ash’s estranged father included. Ash’s journey takes him through the cities and wilds across New Anglia, forcing him to discover his own definition of true power and how far he and other alchemists will go to seize it.

Daydreaming about my book:

Writing my book:

[flowerbwrites]

I’ve written stuff since I started writing Warrior Cats fanfiction at like 12 but I ONLY told my best friend. When I finally finished a novel I thought was good, I told my mom she accused me of being “in the writer closet”, and told me it was weird to not tell everyone I was writing a book.

Does everyone else share their writing habits with people?? Or are you in the writer closet like me?

The Chase Begins by Aimee Donnellan

"She's escaped. Gods help us all."

The Theocracy of Izirm is losing a war against dragons. While the Bishops scramble for a solution, the holy city of Kequm faces a more immediate crisis: the murderous mage, Nightingale, has escaped prison and only one person can stop her.

Lark is a devoted follower of the Scholar god who searches for adventure around every corner. Ever since apprehending Nightingale three years ago, they've done whatever they can to forget the hole she ripped through their heart, and can think of nothing worse than facing her again. But when Nightingale's meddling leaves Kequm vulnerable, Lark has no choice but to act.

A whimsical New Adult fantasy adventure set in a queernormative, mysterious world begging to be explored.
