Kaila Winacott

Yes, I've been a little quiet recently.

I had a bit of a health... Idk panic (?) recently that we're just digesting and figuring out next steps for.

All the while, husband and I are busy bees setting up our future shop (his dream business).

Just been busy!!

I'm still writing, and alive!!

FORGOT THE PICTURE

#FantasyIndiesFebruary

Day 10

Oh, woops. I already answered this already huh.

Eh, yeah, I'm not big on romance. Taiga and Mouse, sorta. Ellio and Azhar, sorta. It's never a focus or a plot point.

If feelings or relationships happen, it's usually woven through, not because of, the story.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary

Day 9

Taiga: for what he is, and as the person his people represented.

Mouse: WTF would he want to be known for?

Jule: her achievements.

Ellio: his integrity.

Azhar: for having existed. She simply wants to be remembered.

Day 8

Favorite Tropes~

I think I've done this one before... Hmmmmm.........

This is a tough one for me, as I don't usually go for specific tropes, since it depends on how they're written.

I'm fond of found family a lot, tho~

#silverleaf #writersky #booksky

Also how TF did the bots find my discord??

And what's the endgame there?

To hope a friend request is going to lead somewhere?? GTFO of here.

I made a mistake today.

Posted a listing for an art job for my husband and I's future shop on the hungry artist subreddit earlier and sweet Jesus. Those guys are starving.

My DMs are filled.
They're all incredibly skilled.
I have 1 job.
I'm sorry.

What now????

#FantasyIndiesFebruary

Day 3

Soulmates...

Taiga, Jule, Azhar: no

Mouse and Ellio: yes

Me personally, no xD

#Silverleaf

#FantasyIndiesFebruary

Day 2

Eh, I'm not big on romance, tbh. Just not my thing. I'm ace, personally, and while I can write romance, I don't gravitate towards it.

#Silverleaf does have some light romance in it, between Taiga and Mouse, and Ellio and Azhar.

But it's never a main focus.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary

Day 1

Hello! Kaila Winacott here, also known as Kouplefruit.

I write fantasy adventure serial fiction.

My main work, #SILVERLEAF, follows the journey of two knights as they complete their final mission; to kill the most sacred creatures in their world.

#writersky #booksky

Happy Thursday y'all~

Another chapter of SILVERLEAF is up~

Enjoy~

Day 28

Taiga: rubbing between his eyebrows when annoyed

Mouse: eyes start wandering to rocks and pebbles on the ground when bored

Jule: elongating sounds when speaking excitedly

Ellio: saying nothing when others are talking

Azhar: humming in the silence

#silverleaf

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Oooh, quite a lot.

My original draft for #silverleaf played on the more light-hearted side, with both Taiga and Mouse being a bit more foolish.

Jule and Ellio didn't exist, and Azhar was dead long before the story's setting.

Also, Sweet Bun was a horse, not a linlao.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Day 25

I have a lot of magical creatures and animals in #SILVERLEAF, and wildlife has a prominent role in the story.

But for the "main" animals:
- Sweet Bun the linlao
- Ghost the elderly horse
- Un and Ah the frog attendants

~ Bonus, a new companion coming soon ~

Day 23

Free Friday so I just want to say EDITING SUCKS I HATE IT.

Anyways, I'm about halfway through editing the remainder of part 1 of SILVERLEAF. Putting everything else on hold until it's DONE.

#writersky

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Day 21

Ooooh hmm, Taiga lost who he looked up to... Maybe his former knight captain? Mouse really only sees Taiga, so yeah.

Jule looks up to her parents, refusing to believe in their deaths. And Ellio looks up to Jule, who raised him.

Azhar... Is Azhar, lol.

Day 20

Hobbies:
- writing
- reading
- gardening
- crochet
- OPTCG
- video game
- hiking

And I'm always trying new things~

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Day 19

Weaknesses...

Taiga: the cold and fire

Mouse: Taiga, the Guardian Spirits, and himself

Jule: her parents

Ellio: the weak, needy, Jule, Azhar, Taiga, Mouse, Ghost (horse), the neighbor, a person he passed on the street, everyone--

Azhar: what she is

#silverleaf

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Day 16:

How my characters handle stress...

Taiga takes it with stride. He handles it because Mouse gets overwhelmed easily.

The more stress Jule has, the shorter her temper is. So Ellio handles what she can't for her, even if it's too much for him.

Azhar has no stress.

Happy Thursday~

A new chapter of SILVERLEAF is up~

Enjoy~

Turns out, Kimchi is quite the X-files fan.

Sat and watched non-stop for about 45 mins. Who knew she enjoyed sci-fi so much, ahahaha~

#cats #xfiles #catsky

Ellio: those that refuse to even try understanding another's perspective.

Azhar: maybe everything or nothing at all. What upsets her today, won't tomorrow.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary

Day 13:

Pet peeves, hmm?

Taiga: poor excuses for actions or lack thereof.

Mouse: humans. That is all.

Jule: ignorance, for purposeful avoidance of knowledge leads to stupidity.

Day 8

Ooooh my strengths are probably dialogue, action scenes (according to my former critique partners), and writing the middle part of the book.

Those may or may not also be my fav parts of writing tho loool

Day 7

"Saliva splattered against the lush green rug walked upon by only the highest of nobility and power. The glob stretched a few short steps from Her Majesty’s overflowing furs of minx and bear."

Day 6:

Ooooh I'm not sure if I'd call it a trope, but I'd like to see less romance in fantasy adventures. I feel like lately, I'm always running into random sex or making out and I'm just left skimming to the end.

I like found family and good communication, if those count~

Here's all the things Fish Stick has stolen and carried around in the last week.

- 1 towel
- 3 scrub brushes
- 1 sponge
- 5 toys (2 of which we thought were lost)
- 2 plushies
- 1 pair of packaged socks

I'm really looking forward to opening our store. It's been my husband's dream since he was a kid, and we are SO CLOSE to making it a reality!

It's Thursday~
(We are pretending it's still Thursday)

It's chapter release day~
(These holidays are really screwing me up)

Enjoy~
