My debut "Eltaris" is a mythologically inspired, dragon and quest fantasy book. No Romance! It's more focused on Amaya's character development. 📚PRE-ORDERS📚 https://books2read.com/b/31oVdv Author Website: https://marinagabriela.weebly.com

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril #writesky #authorsky 🪐📚 💙📚 19. Snippet Saturday: Suspicion I can't share a snippet with the word "suspicion" since there are some major spoilers. However, Amaya is suspicious and wary of Araphel from day one. Something's not quite right.

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril 🪐📚 💙📚 17. When writing, I tend to lean more toward 1st person, although I also write in 3rd. I want to try writing something in an epistolary style (a story told through letters or journal entries) to really lean into 1st person.

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril 🪐📚 💙📚 16. Fun fact about me I love #DnD! I used to play AD&D as a kid, and I've been trying to get into a proper 5e campaign for years. I've only been mildly successful, so I'd love to join one!

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril 🪐📚 💙📚 15. New/upcoming book releases you're excited for I loved the original trilogy, and I've heard really good things about "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins, so I'm hoping to get my hands on a copy soon!

Thoroughly enjoyed the first warm weekend of the year 😊 #booktok #littlefreelibrary

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril 🪐📚 💙📚 14. Songs that remind you of your #WIP The closest I can think of is "Test Drive" from the first How To Train Your Dragon movie. It's not a perfect fit, but in a way, "Starman" by David Bowie could also fit.

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril 🪐📚 💙📚 13. MC's childhood Amaya has mixed feelings about her childhood. There were good moments, but her parents split when she was young, and socializing was never her strong suit, so she tended to feel like the odd one out most of the time.

Happy sleepy #caturday

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril #booksky 🪐📚 12. Snippet: Drama Amaya and Araphel are playing a verbal game of chess, but as Amaya gets the upper hand, her body betrays her by loudly proclaiming its empty state. It's a bit of comic relief for the reader.

Please help me spread the word about my forthcoming book, The Unkillable Frank Lightning! Preorders really help a book succeed, and I’d love to give this one a little extra push! 🤠 #netgalley #edelweiss #horror tachyonpublications.com/product/the-...

#FantasyIndiesApril #writingcommunity #indieapril #booksky 🪐📚 10. Exploration in #WIP Here is an excerpt from a book Amaya found in Araphel's library. It's old and worn and speaks of the dangers in seeking out deities and demigods.

I love being a pantser because inspiration will strike like ⚡️ lightning ⚡️ sometimes. That element is like adding the missing ingredient to tie my ideas together and make a delicious meal. 🥘 What’s your writing process like? #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky #AuthorCommunity #BookSky

I’m seeing many punching-down-on-yourself posts lately. I know it’s easy to feel like your sales are in Struggle City but a) being hard on yourself won’t help, b) patience is part of publishing, c) saying your books suck won’t entice readers, d) you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.

Ahhhh once again the dude who copied my name has 20+ scam websites according to Writers Beware and charges money and is NOT ME NOT ME NOT ME 😭😭😭
