Salma: avid reader and rock climber. Should maybe read This Wretched Valley by @jennykiefer.com 🤔 Tanjy: DnD and other RPGs, theatre/opera when they can afford it Kai: riding their motorbike,listening to music, chopping wood #writinglifemonthly #WriteSky

#writinglifemonthly Oh dear, until recently (in universe) I'd have said "Drinking, womanizing and Shakespeare" but now that Carmen's gone sober and married her wife it's just "womanizing alongside her wife, and Shakespeare"

#writinglifemonthly What books would you read to MC if they could read them? #romance #truecrime #fantasy #scifi #historical Day 22 - Would your MC read stories like yours? 🌟Check out your fellow participants #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚 #AmWriting #Writers #Authors #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#writinglifemonthly Kirsten: cooking (tries new things all the time, collects recipe books, attends classes) Maika: collectible card games (the more obscure/extinct, the better) Ginny: vintage shopping + lifestyle Chad: video games (whatever his internet friends are into at that time)

#writinglifemonthly #booksky Doing #Ashuan for this one: Fabian: drawing, pets, swimming Samantha: magic, potions, singing Lucille: shopping, fashion, flirting Rachel: reading, dreaming Jan: hanging with friends, gaming, partying Matt: f***ing 🤣 okay, okay, he changed by now, still likes it though

Eliza would cook if she could I think. I think she'd really enjoy taking ingredients and creating something delicious. But not baking. I think baking would frustrate her because she'd have to be more exact, whereas cooking she has more wiggle room. #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #writesky

Finding Home-Liam loves to garden, make coffee, & listen to bluegrass music. He usually fails at gardening since he has a studio apartment w/o a porch. He has a record player & loves to sit with a cup of coffee & some good music. #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

At the start, she has no time for hobbies and few interests beyond furthering her Big Law career. But during all the troubles, she takes up baking to stay grounded and she really loves it.

#WritingLifeMonthly While Will spends most of his time training to be the knight he and others have pictured for him, Will spends downtime fishing or playing his ocarina. Lindsey has a penchant for reading mythology or anatomy books, or dancing under the starlight. #WritingCommunity 🌈📚💙 #WriteSky

Today's MC will be Sylvia, my prima ballerina. She is obsessed with ballet, which is she became a prima ballerina by the age of 20 and why she doesn't have time to watch TV (Day 18). She's constantly practicing and training, so much so that even her first... #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity

swords and her girlfriend

#WritingLifeMonthly Will is highly focused on training himself to gain the approval of others. He longs to be the knight everyone thinks he should be. Lindsey? Pineapple.🍍 #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚 #AmWriting #Writers #Authors #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#writinglifemonthly Kirsten - is obsessed on the one hand with worldly achievement, and on the other with spiritual exploration Maika - sensuality and experience (chasing highs, chemically, sexually etc.) Ginny - aesthetics (divided between anime catgirl and vintage waif) Chad - winning 😈

#writinglifemonthly #booksky Alix is obsessed with a) pain au chocolates and b) with helping ghosts, feeling very much like she's the only one to care and hence can't say no, no matter the trouble they bring with them.😁 Free prequel here: books2read.com/parisianghosts

#writinglifemonthly I have obsessions. You're a writer; you have obsessions! What about your MC? Are they being kept from them or going after them? Day 20 - What are your Main Character’s obsessions? #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚 #AmWriting #Writers #Authors #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#writinglifemonthly

Oh boy! Yuri, the MC of Specters: Echoes of Despair is 20, orphaned, and on poor terms with his extended family. His mother’s death was quite traumatic, and coping with that trauma is a major conflict within the plot. #writingcommunity #booksky #author #writingandbooks

Oh, they dead dead. My MC’s parents were murdered by REDACTED when he was 5, and he watched the whole gruesome thing. Definitely put his trajectory in motion. #writinglifemonthly #writersky #writingcommunity

#writinglifemonthly Kirsten gets on well with her proud parents and siblings. She used to scrap with her brothers when they were kids, but they are close now as adults. It must be said though, her perfectionism is definitely an inherited trait. 1/4

Selena's mother passed away and misses her a lot. She never knew her real father and her stepfather is a huge reason why she hates looking at herself in the mirror and hates him a lot. #writinglifemonthly

#writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #booksky #writesky Miranda, the other POV character, has a complicated relationship with her estranged father. She's left him behind but he keeps begging her to come back into his life, even though he ruined hers as a teen.

#writinglifemonthly Kestrel's parents are alive and well, but he's dead to them. Scar was sold from his parents at a young age and doesn't know where they are.

#writinglifemonthly Well uh, Maria ran away from home at age 14 after the deaths of two family members, and didn't have any contact with her remaining family for the next 18 years. So uh, not the best relationship.

David’s parents are alive and he has an older sister and tbh there’s *not* a lot of trauma. He’s quite close to his mum and sis and less so to his father— but seems to admire his father (an astrophysics prof) nonetheless. The closeness fades in time but doesn’t turn bitter. #writinglifemonthly

The Smith: Ama, Sera, Karlson: orphans Jenne: abandoned as a teen, mother deceased, missing sister Hendrik: deceased Tyton: Callie: both parents Talia: fled parents Sesi: twin brother. #writinglifemonthly #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting #Writers #Authors #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#writinglifemonthly #booksky 💙📚🪐 Now here is all the good drama. Alix (of Parisian Ghosts) is the middle sister of three girls, and there's a bloody 6-book arc between her and her older sister Hélène. They used to be besties, but now Hélène is too mature for Alix's ghost stories, and she just wants

Oof, it's complicated. Alaine and her biological brother were adopted into a family of heroes - but she didn't know their secret double lives until fighting the darkness killed him. #AVALONRising #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚 #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Naveena loves her supportive family a ton and is devastated that she can't go home. To them, she disappeared 3 years ago, and soon they'll be told she died. She wishes she could show them otherwise. As for Tylor, I don't write as him, but his family dynamic is far more strained #writinglifemonthly

#writinglifemonthly With my two main characters in my current WIP, they are both very close to their families. All of the MCs in the Whimsical Dreams series are close to theirs as well. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #sapphic #butchfemme

#WritingLifeMonthly Will’s mother passed at birth, so he was raised by a series of tutors and nurses. He finds attachments hard to make because of their emotional distance. Lindsey has the first complete, supportive biological family I’ve ever written! Nobody’s dead or cruel! #WritingCommunity 🌈📚💙

I think I'll focus on Belle today. She loves her family dearly, especially her younger sister Finley. She just doesn't understand the blind faith her parents have in the government when the government took someone special from her. #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompt

That’s some intense creepy uncle vibes there! #writingcommunity

#writinglifemonthly Eri: her parents have passed away but she has a sister she is close to, even if they are both too busy to see each other too often. Natalia: her father hasn’t been in her life since she was 9 and her mother is…not very nice at all

#writinglifemonthly Are they alive? Dead? Is there trauma (it's family so of course there is). Love or hate? Bitter or Sweet? Day 19 - How do things stand with your Main Characters family? 🌟build that community #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚 #AmWriting #Writers #Authors #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#writinglifemonthly Day 18 - What show would your MC binge? Aiden: something for the common hockey boy, like "Suits," but let's go creative and say "The Bachelor" cuz he's such a romantic 😆 Puppy/Mason: an outdoor fishing show #HockeyFiction #Romancelandia #WriteSky #AmWriting

#writingcommunity #writers #booksky well Gabriel is constantly being barraged with TV and WiFi signals so he could binge everything at once. 😅But because of that he'd probably go for something soothing like a nature documentary series.
