So I wrote Specters' synopsis (in 300 words or less). It's actually 302 words long, but I consider the challenge met. ;) I'm proud of self. :) #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasynovel #amwriting #amediting

#QuestPit #W #SFF In the world where people can control Elements of Nature, all Nersan wants is to make his girlfriend happy, but he has to make peace with his past first #writingcommunity #writersky #writesky #fantasynovel

#QuestPit #W #SFF In the world where people can control Elements of Nature, Emma’s legacy haunts her, until she gives in to her Destiny and finds abundant world beyond what’s known. #writingcommunity #amwriting #neurodivergentcharacter #ndcharacter #autisticcharacter

#QuestPit #W #SFF In the world where people can control Elements of Nature, Anaher would rather remain complacent but a Stranger forces him out of his comfort zone and makes him rise to his full potential #writingcommunity #disabledcharacter #foundfamily #amwriting

#QuestPit #W #SFF In the world where people can control Elements of Nature, Neve embarks on a search for her mother, but she finds friends and family instead. #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasynovel #foundfamily

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions 2 At the start, Neve wants to find her origin. As the story progresses, she gets closer to Anaher, Emma and Nersan. She wants to help them, but she doesn't feel they want to help her. At some point she has to choose: her past or her future. #writingcommunity #fantasynovel

For #TheSpecters it was a relationship between a group of friends in a tv show, that spoke to me for some reason. Dedication, understanding, mutual support. Also, the fact that there's not enough #disabledcharacters and #ndcharacters in media. #wippit #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasynovel

Trying to shorten the plot of nearly 100k words to five-six sentences is hard. But it's necessary to see the entire plot in the palm of your hand. First version--it's a soap opera, where relationships break and form. What have I written? #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #writersky #writesky

Finished reading the first draft of The Specters. YaY! Now I have to overhaul the whole plot, because at the moment it's clunky. I think a month is about the right ammount of time to do it.

Chances are I'll finish reading The Specters tomorrow, and therefore will be able to start shuffling the scenes, so that the plot is stronger. The story certainly requires a major overhaul. #writerstruggles #amwriting #writingcommunity

Seasons greetings! We’re so happy to announce our 2025 #questpit event list! We hope you all are having a lovely start to your December and we hope to see you here starting in February next year.

What's happening on #writesky ? I'll have to check upcoming #pitevents and other #writingcommunity events, challenges and whatnot. Yep. Time to get serious about this, right? ;)

Re-reading the first draft of my novel The Specters. It's mostly very crude, but I came across this dialogue and I kind of like it a lot, so I thought I'd share. :) #writingcommunity #mywip #writesky #sci-fantasy #sci-fi #scifinovel #author #amwriting #autisticcharacter #autismrepresentation

My creative juices are so rich this March. I love writing! 📖🪶🌞🌷🍃 #writingcommunity #writesky

Getting back to writing after a month break. Feels good. :) #writingcommunity #author #scifi #sciencefiction #fantasy

There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret? THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER x THE JASAD HEIR #BluePit 📖 #Q #A #F

#BluePitHype Day 3, Character Question 1 Mattan Nuada's from #BlackWings weakness is his need for novelty -- he gets impatient and is easily bored. His strength is also need for novelty -- he easily switches between tasks, if new and important one presents itself. #writingcommunity #amwriting

#BluePitHype Day 1, Introduction Hi :) I'm a woman in her late 40s, mother to 2 adult daughters, wife to 1 man, friend with a dog and a cat (and lots of plants). I write #sci-fi and #fantasy with focus on characters that are disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill. #writingcommunity #writers

I wanted to do that #BluePit Hype thing, but this week was... Yeah. There's nothing wrong doing it late though, is it? ;)

#writingcommunity I'm a short story writer contemplating a novel. Unfortunately, right now I have bits and pieces, but haven't started. When you're in my shoes, do you write pieces out of order, and then stitch them together later, in the write (see what I did there?) order?

Yay, I wrote an essay that I will try to submit to @flaremagazine.bsky.social Of course now I'll have to edit it or sumthn, and then agonize a little, because I'm perfectionist like that. But only a little. I've grown out of most of the agonizing and perfectionisming ;) #writingcommunity #amwriting
