I want my writing to be smart.

Here’s what I mean: I want to write something you can understand on the first go, no problem. But then, the more you think about it, the more little things you realize. Are those little things essential to grasping the plot? No, but they enhance it. Most importantly, you feel smart for pointing them out, and I feel smart for writing them.

Sometimes writing is like: The forest arched high an impassable over her head, thickets thatched tightly together as if to keep her out. Even the trees seemed more foreboding, hollowed and bare, wind whistling ominously through their empty branches like a long-forgotten song.

And sometimes it’s like: The forest was filled with trees. It also had bushes. Ugly bushes. it was spooky.

WIP. Intro Stone Scale | WindBreaker BK 1

Talon Pinlo and his life-long friend, Ojin Kramer, enter windbreaker to discover the mystery behind his missing father, who disappeared whilst taking care of business regarding the competition. However, he soon discovers he's only scratched the surface and there's a deeper story behind it all.

Progress:

Currently being written. The proplogue is posted on both Tapas and Wattpad. Words I have right now, are a little over 9,000.

Genre

Fantasy and Science Fiction

Excerpt

The girl faded away and was replaced by the image of what was happening outside of the arena. The building loomed over the central city of Pyroura. The oval shape stood out, with cratored windows imbedded into the walls. Elite hover pods flew around the outside of the Nosioum Colosseum. Like Lady Emberlyn and the Elite man by the entrance, the pods were decorated in maroon red, the Noble family crest on the left side of each pod showing that security was provided by the Lord. Brelome loomed farther out, the biggest city on the continent.

The screen turned back to focusing on what was happening inside, more people were in the stands. The camera turned to a secluded section above the audience, nestled between them and the commentator platform. The two high chairs were empty, a metal carved table in between, with two crystal glasses. The camera continued to change scenes, and all the while Talon watched with a close eye, searching for anything or anyone that could catch his eye.

“You won't see her unless you make the final five.” The familiar voice from before, from the conversation he tuned out of, spoke up from behind him, seeming to know exactly who or what it was that he was looking for. Talon already knew that he wouldn't find what he wanted. The person he was looking for was important, and the Entrance Exams of WindBreaker wasn't something that a woman like her would go to, but he figured he wouldn't risk the chance of losing out on information.

“I know.” Talon turned around, glanced behind Ojin to see if the guy who had made a ruccus from before was still close, but he wasn't. His friend migrated to a small group of girls, he ran his hand through his blonde hair with a smile as they giggled at whatever he said. He turned his dark eyes back to Ojin, “Maybe I was looking nervously into the crowd.”

Me, plotting my first draft: 

[marie-jaynewrites-blog]

wip intro; GODLY BASTARDS ✨

GENRE: YA Urban Fantasy

POV: 3rd person

STATUS: 1st draft

LENGTH: 5 books !

summary

Pitched as ❝ Percy Jackson ❞ set at university, Hadrian Dark is something strange in a world full of strange things, she’s the only demi-god in existence with three biological parents─her father the king, Aphrodite and Ares─a fact which takes her out of the line for the throne and ends with the neighbouring kingdoms sending her and their demi-god heirs to the Elite Academy of Paragon Excellence, better known as APE.

There, Hadrian must train to become one of the best crime-fighting Paragons fitting of her family name. At least, that was the plan, but a series of weird attacks drags Hadrian and her new friends into a fight they’re not prepared for. Naturally, it all starts with a prophecy and what follows after will be the stuff of legends.

SUB-GENRES: Hero Academies / Superheroes & Villains / Romance / Magic Realism

Finian was fuming.

When he got back to the castle after they found the Glass City, he would have some choice words for his father. He probably would say them, but he would certainly have them.

I drew Tobias and Oliver from @mythmouth ‘s story “Black Velvet” 💕💕 I just recently reread it because it’s one of my all time favorites, and got inspired to draw this!! I know it’s probably not completely accurate, but it’s how I imagined them to look. Hope that’s okay!! 😖🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
