Wren L. Helgren—Editor & Writer

I'll be trying to revamp my Blusky profile and actually post here, but I'll only be reposting my posts from Threads likely. Anyway, give me a few days to follow back if we're mutuals elsewhere. 🫶🏻

I've settled on a name for each of my FMC's adventure party friends from her time in the mortal realm, and I'm so stoked.

Now for their backgrounds so I can then make a series, like a "prequel" series, to show what the FMC was doing when she was away from court. 👀

World-building, for me, is a whirlwind of creating astrological signs and assigning them elements, too, and then playing Minecraft to build a palace so I can * see * the blueprints in 3D, and then deciding I'd like to instead do so on graph paper w/ a mechanical pencil.

There is much wisdom in that, however accepting that to be the truth ( that it certainly is ) can be hard! 😂 Almost easier said, than done!

I'd honestly be a daughter of Apollo. I am a writer/poet, and though I don't dance or sing well, I love to do both, but I also adore nature. So, I could also see being a daughter of Demeter!

This means so much to me, thank you! 😭 I'll be so happy to share more about it in the coming months!

A brunette woman with short pixie-style hair and clear glasses is smiling, standing in front of a full bookshelf, with her finger and thumb on her chin in a thoughtful pose.

An infographic of a manuscript being written, it lists in text: the temporary title ( Antlers and Antennae ), the genre ( cozy, fantasy, romance ), the age of audience ( new adult ), the FMC ( playful, pithy, age 25 ) and the MMC ( golden retriever bf energy, age 30 ), and the tropes ( friends to lovers, slow burn ). It also says there will be skippable spice. It is in the drafting stage. On the right edge of the infographic is a teaser image, showing only a vague look, of the FMC, who seems to have red/orange hair, pink skin, doe-like ears, and antlers. She is wearing a black see-through blouse with what looks to be the edge of a black corset.

Here's a soft introduction to me and my WIP.

I'm Wren L. Helgren. I'm a writer w/ an unhealthy love for alliteration ( 😉 ), a ravenous reader, & a freelance fiction editor.

My WIP—temp. titled Antlers & Antennae—features fae, festivities at a grandiose palace, & the pretty pink face of the FMC.

I won't be leaving Threads, but it won't hurt to also post my unhinged writing and world-building thoughts on Bluesky! 👀 👋🏻
