Alex will have a conflict with himself over his love and relationship for Ty, but that will be the next book. π

Rowan is lesbian and is very comfortable with it. Thereβs no crisis of identity in the book, itβs just part of who she is.
Ally is bisexual, as is Alec.
Ty is very, very, gay.
Rowan calls them the βcloaksβ. They are creepy dead skeletal things with blotchy skin that enforce the law of Hell.

If Harry Potter/Twilight FanFic can become a hit series, you can write that story!

I put a lot of myself into my MCsβ¦ I didnβt realize this until recently.
Now my LI is based off a TV show character haha.

All Rowan needs is a Hellquartz to use magic. No one else can use them though, she is unique.

Rowan would probably like to be known for her traits like loyalty but would most likely be known for silly things like challenging a demon to a game of Go Fish!

I failed epically at my goals last week so this week I am going to aim for just 250 words for the whole week.
I got feedback from a reader and it went well. She was really helpful!
#WordWeavers
I came up with a #YA #ghoststory #sapphic #romance that Iβm super excited about!

Iβm struggling with motivation right now.
I need opinions. Should I use this for my dadβs memorial cards? Or should I print it and display it instead? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Poem #Poetry

The main antagonist in Inferno is Asmodeus and honestly heβs one of my fave characters.
#QueerPrompts
I think Rowan would love to relive her first romantic moments with Ally, possibly in a collage.
#FantasyIndiesFebruary
Rowanβs not opposed to the idea of Soul Mates but she never really believed in it.
My goal for this week is to write one page a day.
Thatβs it.
Thatβs the plan.

Romance in WIP
My novel is a sapphic YA romantasy. The main romance is between Rowan, whose POV we follow, and Ally.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders
Rowanβs world is large. Think of it like an open world RPG.
I read this for my Young Adult literature class in college. Itβs fantastic!
