Exactly *how* late in the game can we introduce interesting new characters?πŸ˜…

I’m working on the final act and this particular character I had planned on introducing in a future book decided to pop in and steal the sceneπŸ™ˆ

Write new worlds. Write beautiful places. Write angry people. Write imaginary beasts, futile quests, broken hearts, lifelong injustices, mysteries, love affairs, lost children, newfound purpose. Write anything that allows you to escape or heal or vent or rage or explore or reconcile. Write πŸ–€

Rereading 🏹Wild Magic🐴by Tamora Pierceβ€”a true gem of β€˜90s YA fantasy filled with animal companions, rare magic, and found family.

It’s been my comfort read since I was a preteen, and I try to reread it every year

Nothing like rereading the books that made you want to become a writer.

Had a πŸ’‘ moment last night. So I wrote the big showdown months ago & my FMC is in a rough spot.

I’m like ~how~ do I get her out of this in a way that makes sense, feels organic, & is NOT a deux x machina?

answer: the ✨power of friendship✨ we don’t have to do everything on our ownπŸ™Œ

The other day I saw a post on the clock app about individual characterization within dialogue and it’s been haunting me ever since

I thought my WIP was in a good place but now I want to go back and make sure my characters are speaking β€œin character”

Is there anything you’ve been wanting to read? Maybe we could start a bluesky book club of sorts. I would totally be down if you’re interested ☺️

I downloaded Fable a few months ago but haven’t done much on it yet. I love reading along with others & usually do so in discord if the community has one

So for editing I keep it real basic 12 pt Times New Roman with 1.00 line spacing

For drafting I used comic sans because I heard somewhere it increases productivity (no idea if that’s true)

The last year has been fruitful, wrote 100k words & counting, connected with other writers & learned about the craft & business side of things(not my favorite but still important)

I learned discipline & just put blinders on & focused my energy ONLY on this one WIP the entire year.

My hope for the holidays is just to get through them tbh and make them special for my daughter

I had such fun participating and seeing what everyone is working on and connecting with more writers. I’m looking forward to following along and seeing where these amazing pitches end up by this time next year.

I’ve been thinking about getting the scrivener app you may have just convinced me.

Sometimes I can’t bare to open my laptop after staring at it all day at work. & google docs or my notes app leave much to be desired at times to say the leastπŸ˜†
