I just started Wranglestone yesterday, I read 5 chapters and I'm already in love with the vibe and the characters. Just the fact that a lot of stuff you know, younger kids of their time don't is just so interesting! I think this'll be my favorite read of the year.

No way I forgot my own character's birthday.

Oriane is slaying (in every meaning possible)

Heads-up 7 up

thanks for the tag @arwenschepers

This is going to be a little different because this isn't from dgkotr but from another wip I started.

"At a friend's house, in the spades territory. We'll go straight to your kingdom after that." He's still looking at himself in the mirror, I don't know if he's vain or afraid of something in particular but he seems relieved every time he looks at his reflection. I knock 3 times at the door, and it's only a matter of time before my mother's friend opens it for us. I go in while the prince stays out of the way. In the meantime, he had put his hood back on. The man encouraged him to come in, and he joined me in the living room.

I really have to introduce this wip because this doesn't make sense at all for someone who didn't see my past posts about it.

For anyone who saw the post about the disease, might be why the prince is looking in the mirror (just saying)

OC questionnaire

thanks for the tag @kaylinalexanderbooks !

Let's do Alec

What's something that was horrible in the moment, but in hindsight is hilarious?

I remember the first time our band did a school show, we were so nervous. There was a cable in the middle of the stage and I tripped and fell in front of kids older than us. They started laughing and I was so embarrassed. We also played badly after that because of the stress. I'm glad we didn't give up immediately, this was just a silly accident that became a kind of joke between us.

2. Do you often get lost in thought? Where does your mind go? How do you focus?

I don't often but I know a friend of mine who's also the singer of our band who does. She sometimes struggles to come up with lyrics but we're here to help. She said she can see how the "story" of the song goes but it's just silent.

3. Who do you worry about the most?

My sister, she's always for me and I'm always there for her. She's like my best friend I think.

OC interview

@kaylinalexanderbooks tagged me :)

I'll do this with a side character, just to have some stuff about them.

Oriane :

Are you named after anyone?

No, I don't think so. Who cares anyway ? Not me at least!

When was the last time you cried?

At my friend's funeral, he was a great person. (we all wonder how he died)

Do you have kids?

I'm too young to be a mom.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I used to, I went a bit too far and hurted the people I love.

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Their hair, I wanna see someone with a haircut as crazy as mine.

What’s your eye colour?

Dark like my soul, actually they're blue-grey

Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies

Any special talents?

Where were you born?

Why are you asking ? I'm french, guess what country I live in

No but I'd like to have a cat or a bunny

What sort of sports do you play?

I don't, I'm too busy practising with the band.

You should ask how short am I but around 1m50 (4'9)

What was your favourite subject in school?

Music, obviously

What is your dream job?

Famous singer, is that too much to ask ? I think our band is pretty neat

Out of context line

thanks for the tag @kaylinalexanderbooks (I'm slowly catching up with the writing games)

Dgkotr, Chapter 1 :

that smell of petrol, mixed with the rest of the tobacco she always smoked absentmindedly, made me particularly nauseous.

I just found a word doc on ideas for dgkotr title and somehow I wrote "dragonfly" ??? At no point there's a dragonfly and it doesn't match the plot ??

WRITERS!!! WRITERS!!! WRITERS!!! ARE YOU LISTENING??? I LOVE YOU!!!

[thepeculiarbird]

My first attempts at writing a book before dgkotr are... questionnable, to say the least.

[thepeculiarbird]

why does this have so much notes ?

A day in the life of a writer:

The entire day: Doing anything except writing

between 10 p.m and 3 a.m:

This was a day in the life of an exhausted writer, see ya guys 🤩😊✌

[thepeculiarbird]

I officially have every book Robbie Couch published and can't wait for the next one to release in may.

[thepeculiarbird]

Yes I'm a writer. Yes I'm looking at tumblr instead of writing

Writers Help

Hey writers, I got a question for you. Can anyone tell me about Q and A dialogue? I received feedback from one of my beta readers who says I do this a lot (and for anyone who's unsure of what I'm talking about, I'll give you an example.)

Character A: "Who are you?" Question

Character B: "No one important." Answer

I was told it was best to avoid this kind of writing for dialogue and I was curious if anyone can explain this a bit more and what can I do to improve, or get rid of it?
