WIP FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Thank you for tagging me @theevolutionofledarose!

I’m doing this for The Dream Estate!

The first sentence of your WIP:

The pain in his head was new.

The genre?

psychedellic/surreal horror

The name and age of your main characters?

Jackson Alvarrez 36

The first bit of dialogue

“You hit him in the head with a baseball bat!” the shorter of the two scolded the moment they had an opportunity. “You can’t expect him to do anything for you after that! Never mind trust you!”

An accent. Jackson tried to focus but it was too hard. Even listening hurt.

“It was our last option,” the man coldly explained. “We did everything we could to make him come willingly. Eventually he just stopped answering our calls.”

He had the same accent. Jackson focused, trying to hear the other voices in the room. They were quiet, distant, but he could tell that they were all that accent. He was a long way from home. Or he was dreaming. It was hard to tell. He hoped that he was dreaming. He hoped that the dream was his.

“How am I supposed to explain to him that you kidnapped him, huh?”

“You’re a smart guy, I’m sure you’ll think of something.”

Valentine's Day Tag Game

I only just figured out how to see just my mentions, so catching up on tags as best I can! Tagged by @kittensartsbooks @gottaenjoythelittlethingzz @theunwrittenones @silver-wields-a-pen

[1] How big a part does romance play in your novel?

For the one I'm going to start after A Cryptic Carol (it's in the same universe, maybe a series?) romance is crystal lite, it's not something I think I'll explore there. In Feathers & Fortunes, it plays a role in plot and chqaracter development especially.

[2] What is the nature of the romance in the story? Are there any tropes it follows? (Infatuation at first sight, enemies to lovers, best friends to lovers, etc?)

For ACC, it's a frenemies to lovers, maybe. Very small, squint and you might not see the tiny subtext. For F&F, it's enemies to friends to lovers to enemies. Will it end happy? I dunno!

[3] Why did you decide to pair specifically these two characters? What makes their relationship compelling?

For ACC, it just kinda happened as I wrote Ezra and Jack. Ezra's been a character of mine for a good bit now, and he's fairly flirtatious. But you might be surprised at who intiates things. They're compelling because of the ease that they had to earn with each other, because both of them are very guarded in different ways. They saw that in each other I think.

For F&F, I knew I wanted a lost daughter plot, and as I was trying to figure out how -- it's a weird story how F&F began btw -- the answer landed in my lap. Romance, one that was compelling because of the way it happened, a complex relationship of pull and push between powerful and powerless. I wanted to explore that as larger theme in the story, why not make it bite size in a relationship? I basically created her to be Foxglove's love interest, that's why specifically these two.

[4] How do you handle your characters’ chemistry?

ACC, it's natural flow. I don't do much outside of just write.

F&F, I have to work harder to make sure the characters aren't flat, that they never let their romance outshine themselves. I want them to be realized characters, which is difficult right now when I haven't sat down and wrote anything but background and plot plans.

[5] At which point in your story do your characters realize that they’re in love?

ACC, they don't, not until some scary life-threatening stuff goes down.

F&F, they wrestle with it as they grow closer, especially due to circumstances. They realize it's really something they want to work when Foxglove helps her to escape and live freely, away from her daily presence.

15 for 15

Thanks @editronchi for the tag! 

Rules: Answer 15 questions about your WIP from a character’s perspective, then tag 15 people. 

1. What is your full name?

Atarah Relicuos. 

2. What does your full name mean? 

“Atarah” is a fairly common name in Corvenn, meaning “crown” in some old language, and “Relicuos” is my mother’s family name. (My half-brother, Ziyad, took his father’s name). 

3. What are your other nicknames/names? 

Ziyad calls me “Tar”, mostly to be annoying. [Later on in the story she’s called The Prophetess].

4. What is your gender?

Female. 

5. What is your sexuality?

Asexual heteroromantic. 

6. Where are your from? 

Corvenn, the capital city of the kingdom of Óritir. 

7. How old are you?

I was born five Games ago. [She is 16].

8. What is your species/magic form?

I’m human, though I have been granted the powers of a seer. 

9. What does your human form look like? 

What I always look like: Brown skin, blue eyes, long skirts, colorful headscarves. Though, my eyes turn from blue to silver when I see the future. 

10. What’s your aesthetic? 

Fabrics, swishing skirts, flowing patterns, lively dancing, long gone ruins, and glowing eyes. 

11. Who’s your best friend? 

Reed. We met when he tried to pickpocket my mistress’s [she’s an apprentice guys] handbasket and I got it back. I give him food sometimes and we talk and he doesn’t steal from me as long as I feed him. 

12. Would you ever get a piercing or tattoo? 

I actually have magical tattoos all around my back, neck, and chest. It’s sort of the reason I wear a headscarf, other than religious purposes. The designs mark me as an Elotíse, or magical seer. 

13. When are you happiest? 

I’m happiest when I’m by myself, and I get to be alone and breathe for once without anyone looking down on me or trying to see through lies. 

14. What’s your biggest secret?

You already know. If anyone were to find out about my gift of prophecy, the king would no doubt come and lock me up in chains himself. 

15. What was your first impression of ___? 

The prince? He seemed very envious of Elide Dyga’s position at the king’s side during the Game’s opening. I didn’t trust him then and I still don’t.

Naja, vielleicht nicht unbedingt, aber sie können dir einen Anstoß geben, denn leider ist das Autoren-Dasein nicht unser Hauptberuf ... noch nicht. #theunwrittenones #haydenlovren #rolandkris #gdangier #autorenleben #autoren #schreiben #schreibtipps #autorenaufinstagram #writersofinstagram #autorenwahnsinn #schriftsteller #autorencommunity #amwriting #schreibenistliebe #writerslife #deutscheautoren https://www.instagram.com/p/B0N6FTiAZ7f/?igshid=1q3q74likx2ic

Habt ihr euch schonmal gefragt wer die Unwritten Ones eigentlich sind? Wir sind drei Autoren, die davon träumen irgendwann ihr eigenes Buch zu veröffentlichen, wenn das Leben nicht in den Weg kommen würde oder die Arbeit. Denn bis jetzt ist das Schreiben unser Hobby und wir hoffen es zu unserem Beruf machen zu können. Unser Blog soll eine Platform werden für alle Autoren, damit wir den Austausch fördern können. Wir wollen, dass ihr mit dem Kopf nickt und uns zustimmt, wenn ihr unseren Blog lest oder später mal unseren Podcast hört. Dieser ist zur Zeit noch in Arbeit. Seid gespannt! #theunwrittenonespodcast #unwrittenpod #podcastgerman #pocast #autorenleben #autoren #schreiben #schreibtipps #autorenaufinstagram #writersofinstagram #autorenwahnsinn #schriftsteller #autorencommunity #amwriting #schreibenistliebe #writerslife #deutscheautoren #theunwrittenones #rolandkris #gdangier #haydenlovren #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #author #writerslife #writing #writerscommunity #writersconnection #writerscorner #booksagram #writer #writingprompt #booklovers #bookish #writersofig #amwriting #authorlife #writingishard #like #follow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzxc1rGgjFd/?igshid=v8rkc6t724si

On Tuesday we were sad that there isn‘t enough time to read all the books and now we are posting a quote that inspires us to keep writing. A day needs more than 24 hours to get everything we love done. 🙄😏 #theunwrittenones #rolandkris #gdangier #haydenlovren #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #author #writerslife #writing #writerscommunity #writersconnection #writerscorner #booksagram #writer #booklovers #bookish #writersofig #amwriting #authorlife #writingishard #like #follow #quoteaboutwriting #dontbeunwritten https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPiafWgsZM/?igshid=mu8n8qrhvgik
