Amanda Turek 💎 Writing Rushak

Same …

Conspiring to be friends … the best plan!

Two mares face the viewer, both tied to a hitching rack wearing white rope halters. The closest one is a chestnut halfArab with her nose in your face. She has a tiny star, a gray muzzle with a snip and mouth partially open. The one behind is a sorrel Quarter Horse with a blaze and a pink nose. Her ears are out kinda sideways. Behind them is bright green foliage.

“Happy” #daylightsavingstime to those so afflicted. I wish you the least terrible day possible.

Sabbat is... not having the best time right now.

Ætheren’s breathing halted as Finn’s presence filled the space. His long-legged strides swallowed the ground, accentuated by the faint click of a cane made of twisted stone and topped in gilded silver—which he never used except during performances. Finn halted center stage, leaning slightly on his cane as the lanterns illuminated the fine cut of his red jacket, his top hat pulled down low and slightly off-center. He owned the stage before he even spoke a word. And when he spoke, the real magic began. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Finn said with a swoop of his cane. His voice was not his own. It sounded like stone crushing crystal—harsh, otherworldly, melodic. Beautiful and terrible, the voice Finn used was not his own, and yet, Ætheren could not help but listen. It filled every space in the tent. “Wanderers and wayward souls… you stand at the threshold of wonder. Beyond this ring, the world is ordinary. But within it, we defy gravity, mock fear, and dance with the impossible.”

Finn takes the stage… 🎪🖤✨ #WIPSnips from TMF subbing “twist” for “ screw”

Woo so they’re attacking the dragon?

I guess it's normal in memoirs to go to dark places. This is the beginning to one of mine.
Belonging will be going live on the Universal Turing Machine on June 1st.

Yay! Thanks!🙏🥰

That would be good because

I AM THE CRONE!

Thanks so much!🥰 I’m very excited about this.

Rush is so super at radical acceptance. (Most of the time).

It is quite nice to have a character who can accept my cruel caprices as simply Fortune. 😅

I’m so flabbergasted to have found I can actually portray my characters well enough - appearance and vibe - to feel I’m actually introducing them to you- with such a silly cartoon app. Utterly flabbergasted.
It was very time-consuming but OMG it’s good to see them.🥹

A picrew-derived image of Cerel, an elf warrior, older, near the end of the book after he’s been at war awhile and his yellow hair’s grown out long behind his back. He’s scarred up, snarling, wearing armor swathed in blue and has two swords.

One more. Cerel:

WHAT DRISAL SAID!

A picrew-derived image of Rushak, the MC. A thin pale-skinned elf with closed eyes and a resigned expression. He has wavy messy shoulder-length hair and is wearing a white cloak over a dark shirt. He’s carrying a wooden bow with brown-fletched arrows over his shoulder.

Rushak

I’m not angry.

Virgil. A bearded man with dark gray skin and black hair and two swords, whose goddess is Fortune

2. Virgil:

My Goddess, at last,
FORTUNA IMPERATRIX MUNDI

#AwesomeCharacters
A little late for this party but I got a thread of three.
1. Drisal:

YOU CAN NEVER RUN FAR ENOUGH. I WILL TEAR OUT YOUR BEATING HEART!

What a fascinating topic!

#FaveLineFriday tip in reply⬇️🧵

The only snippet I worked on this week is both intense & tragic, but here's 2 sentences.

His eyes fell to rest pointedly on the knife she'd almost forgotten she was holding. There was longing in them, that same sorrow she'd seen in his unmoving features - 1/?

Haha that’s great!

Picrew-derived image of Bráthal, a freckled male elf with sumptuous long red hair and ear tips showing shouts derisively with a big smile. He’s dressed in a blue coat over an embroidered green tunic. He’s got a bow and blue-fletched arrows over his shoulder. The words “Hey karth face” are white in a black thought bubble.

A picrew-derived image of Cerel, a light-skinned, rosy-cheeked elf with short yellow hair with ear tips showing, brown eyes and a headband looks sideways with a rueful expression. He’s dressed in a dark cloak over a dark green embroidered tunic. He’s has a wooden bow with red and brown-fletched arrows over his shoulder and is standing in a forest. The words”Aww sticks, not this again” are black in a light gray rectangle.

A picrew-derived image of Rushak, a skinny light-skinned elf with shoulder length white hair, ear tips showing and bright green eyes with lines of fatigue under them frowns an angry retort. He’s wearing a loose white shirt with an open neck and has a wooden bow with red and brown-fletched arrows over his shoulder. He’s standing stark against the sky. The words: Fuck you Bráthal are in black, not enclosed in a ahape.

A picrew-derived image of Drisal, a square-jawed, light-skinned elf with direct blue eyes and long, sumptuous white hair with ear tips showing stares ahead, mouth in a straight line. He’s wearing a white cloak over a rek tunic with white embroidery. He’s has a wooden bow with red and brown-fletched arrows over his shoulder. He’s standing stark against the sky. In a gray thought bubble above him is an ellipsis.

1. Bráthal: Hey karth face!
2. Cerel: Aww sticks, not this again.
3.Rushak: F*ck you Bráthal
4. Drisal: …

(Yes I found a picrew that makes me happy with my male characters! Here are the 3 MCs and antagonist!)

Yes please

TBH I believe you could probably vibe my particular crew pretty darn well. 🥺 But yeah I get the pressure thing. I’d have a hell of a time with that.

Oh hey I was just talking about these boys. #WIPSnips

Because sometimes the universe (and the author) just isn't playing fair...

Root Cellar indeed! I especially like the detail of the dirt falling onto the customer’s shoulder.
