Got a favorite cryptid story? Is Sasquatch your favorite?
#SasquatchAwarenessDay

#WritingCommunity Fear - what do your characters fear most? How does fear create obstacles in their life? #WeekendWritingQ

#WritingCommunity How does humanity fare against the natural world? Are there other sentient species? Ones that want to eat us for breakfast? #WeekendwritingQ

#writingtips Writing multiple POVs? 2 is fine for romance, but even for epic fantasy, 3 POVs is like 5 POVs and 5 is 25. Help us care about your characters. Stick to just a few. #writingcommunity #writinginspo #writersbluesky

#writingtips Not all antagonists want to end the world! If you want to write standalones, shorter novels, or short stories, challenge yourself to avoid this trope. #writingcommunity #writinginspo #blueskywriters #writersky

If you've finished a first draft, you're already ahead of many writers! It's dark times ahead in self #editing but don't quit now! #writingcommunity #writingtips #writingmemes

You ever wake up the next day and wonder who left that word salad in your manuscript? 🫣

#writingtips Hate naming things? Don't lose your momentum! Use a placeholder that's easy to search for, and leave that problem for future you. #writingcommunity #writinginspo #blueskywriters #writersky

This could be a great opportunity for a writer out there! 🖤

So glad I'm not the only one who takes notes at #writing conferences! Had a bit of trouble with a story this week, then remembered advice from the panels! Also love the feel of community, even if I do collapse afterwards 🫠 #writingcommunity

I always collapse after a con! But that collapse lets me think about everything. I pulled the trigger on a #writing book rec from the con, and I'm back into writing my fantasy short story for the anthology. Secretly an introvert 🤫 which just makes it extra special I talk to y'all #writingcommunity

What project are you working on right now?

We hosted our annual writing conference, celebrated our discord's 4th anniversary, and announced our next anthology theme. We hope your August was as motivational as ours!

Are you getting words in for #LaborDay, or relaxing? 👀

Day 2: I've figure it out! The one thing that's wrong!
Day 3: There are so many things wrong.
Day 4: All I need to do is rewrite 3/4 of it.
Day 5: Begins new WIP.

How about my #DarkFantasy #FreeBook sequel, The Van Helsing Resurgence? After ninety years, Clara falls to Earth to find a lost soul. Alone in a shattered world, she learns that while the Roaring Twenties are long gone, a heroine’s work is never done.

Either the scene under the weeping flame maple in which Myra & Arzhang exchange their first kiss or during Myra's engagement party to the emperor where Myra and Arzhang dance. First one is filled with so much sexual tension, the second with bittersweet longing. #PosterPit #writingcommunity

What type of writing does she do? We have a discord community that is great for fantasy science fiction, horror, and romance. Other genres also welcome too! We also have a conference THIS WEEKEND online.
