Josh is trying.

Yeah, I’m not expecting any large payouts. I’m just worried spending money on connects isn’t worth the return.

Has anyone had any success as a freelance writer through Upwork? I am in need of work, and am wondering if it is worth it.

Page 133 from Inferno

Got hired as a ghostwriter so probably putting my WIP on hold for a little bit.

But I’ll still be writing fiction, so I’m happy with it.

#WIPSnips Real

#QueerWriters

My main goal is 5pages per day Monday through Friday. Weekends are hard to write during.

#Goals #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Nope! While I do enjoy certain tropes, I tend to just go with what feels right in the moment. Especially when writing.

#SummerOfStory

My book is based off Dante’s Inferno so the symbols and motifs were par for the course.

I didn’t add any to my second project though… at least I don’t think so.

#QueerWritersChat

Hiiiiiiii

I’m Mel aka MA. I am working on my second project which is kind of like Scooby Doo meets Riverdale meets the newer Power Rangers movie.

I got really overwhelmed re-reading the source material for my book, so I can only imagine the depth of research you must dive into. I hope you feel better soon!

I identify with my heroes more. I put so much of myself into my MC. She’s basically a fragment of me.

Hahahah so true!

#QueerPrompts free Friday

Enjoy the opening to my book

Fun fact: Ro never specifies she’s lesbian, just falls hard for Ally throughout the book.

Being a klutz 😅

This scene isn’t very sapphic but the MCs are.

#MythAugust

I wasn’t doing these then realized my book is based on Dante’s Inferno which can be considered mythic.

Demonology is very important in this novel. My favorite is Belphegar, mostly because the name is fun to say haha.

I can’t say more without giving away a plot twist. 😬

#PretendPanel

Stupid thumbs lol

#PremtendPanel

It’s funny, my two projects couldn’t be more different from each other.

Inferno is a romantasy and PHMC is a mystery. Both YA. I guess you could say YA is my favorite genre.At least to write.

Didn’t have frequent so went with repeat.

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 760:
Not all writing happens at your desk. Thinking, planning, noticing, asking questions, reading, researching, dreaming - all can be part of the process.
(Also, tea.)

Mood board for KATRINA LAMONT of the fantasy novel series GRAYLANDS. Images emphasize her brooding, somber and potentially violent character with hints of her noble and tragic past as a failed chosen one and fallen princess. Top Row - a woman, played by Nell Tiger Free in THE FIRST OMEN, lies curled on a bed and looks troubled - a woman, played by Kristen Stewart in SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN, stands in battle armor with a shield - a woman, played by Krysten Ritter in JESSICA JONES, drinks from a bottle of liquor Second Row - the ruined head of a statue depicting a king lies in the woods - a woman, played by Nell Tiger Free in THE FIRST OMEN, is in bed with a hangover and looks haggard - a moody forest Third Row - a woman, played by Samara Weaving in READY OR NOT, smokes a cigarette while covered in blood - a woman, played by Alexandra Daddario in WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS, grins maniacally while holding a lit lighter - a woman, played by Melissa Barrera in SCREAM 5, holds a knife with blood splattered on her face

Katrina Lamont used to the Chosen One. She had a destiny that she fulfilled.

But everyone died anyway.

Now, she's a drifter. A drunk. A broken woman waiting to die.

She'll get worse before she gets better.

Potions Unincorporated is written on a black journal with ivy stems and a mushroom on the cover. The tropes are listed with arrows on the right side: Grumpy x Sunshine, Found Family, Evil Pharma Potion Company, Plant Magic, Chronic Illness Rep, Cozy Vibes

The Pitch is written on a lavender field background: A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company

Honestly, just having people to commiserate with helps a lot! I’m happy to help you too. 😊

I need all the support I can get too. 😅

#FantastIndiesAugust

I write mostly in the morning. It’s when I’m the most awake and least distracted as the dogs are still sleeping lol.

#relatable

Day 4: My MC 17 and since it is set after Ro dies, she will stay that age

Day 5: I honestly got inspired randomly one night and just pantsed my way through most of the story lol
