Exactly *how* late in the game can we introduce interesting new characters?π
Iβm 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 sceneπ

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 π€

Rereading πΉWild Magicπ΄by Tamora Pierceβa true gem of β90s YA fantasy filled with animal companions, rare magic, and found family.
Itβs been my comfort read since I was a preteen, and I try to reread it every year

Had a π‘ moment last night. So I wrote the big showdown months ago & my FMC is in a rough spot.
Iβm 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 β¨power of friendshipβ¨ we donβt have to do everything on our ownπ

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 thatβs 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.
