may (BEA) writing an urban fantasy

any February #writingprompts coming up? #writesky

hey writer friends!!
My name is Bea & I write mostly fantasy and paranormal now. I’ve been writing stories since I was eight. Currently working on my 9th (?) unpublished novel—not counting screenplays. Hoping to work towards debuting with one of my WIPS in the future!!

To whoever bought my book last month:

Thank you. I woke up this morning sincerely considering quitting writing. I can keep going now, thanks to you. You have no idea what your support means to me.

Sincerely,
A Struggling Author

*end of the sorry, not “Ned”. lol

slowwwwburnnnn.

Where you can feel the flames…..jusssssst out of reach. lol.

I enjoy the journey to the buildup a lot. And I have no problem waiting until closer to the ned of the story for the payoff.

oohhh!! I love writing these the most, too! there’s something about the pining and waiting that just gets me.

currently switching over to my fantasy WIP, and I would say that my MC is thinking so much about the past, it might impact her future.

I enjoy characters unveiling the ugly parts of themselves, and coming to realize the counterpart doesnt find them repulsive as expected. As I've mentioned before, vulnerability is hot and having someone discover even at their lowest they still have inherant value deserving of respect?

thank you!! it’s made by the artist Makowka on pic crew!!

yep!!

ive read a lot of heat and spice in the fanfic space, but i haven’t quite gotten too far in my own writing.

i don’t mind other people’s characters being open door, but my own characters keep the deadbolt on and locked. lol

hi!!! New-ish to the #WritingCommmunity and looking for writer/author mutuals!!

⟡ i write in mystery, fantasy, romantasy, and horror✍️
⟡ current WIP is an adult urban fantasy 🪄
⟡ my background is in libraries, anthro, edu, and museums 📚

♡ to be mutuals!!

yessssss!!!

my favorite part!! ✨✨

i don’t think I’ve ever written more than a kiss in fanfic or in my manuscripts.

i have read ultra spicy fanfic tho.

i think i just love a tense-filled super slowburn with intense, emotional looks and and almost touches bc i love to suffer, i guess. lol

trying to stay on one WIP, but of course, my brain at 3AM on a random night:

definitely neutrals. E lives a pretty nomadic and prefers clothes that pair well together, specially for outdoor weather. Simple shirts and pants in brown, green, and tan.

my writing playlist is a variety of plot relevant songs, character songs, and just vibes. lol. #novmemeber #novnov

27. Fan-cast at least 1 character A prompt game for the month of November, titled #Novmemeber (as in meme). Hosted by @sagetgreene.bsky.social . The bottom says "Have fun, interact, and remember alt text!" There is a silly emoji face with wild eyes and tongue sticking out, and some fall-style leaves in the corners.

#Novmemeber 27

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Feel free to come back to this one if you're busy today (or claim this is a work thing and use it to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes—I'm not judging!)

Fan-cast 1 character (or more) from your story. Doesn't have to be a modern celeb!

tbh, i try not to fancast so i dont get too locked in on any one actor. More like i base my characters’ appearance on amalgamations of commercials, Ads, and people i knew.

Based on vibes alone, a Lucas Till or younger Leo DiCaprio? Sasha Pieterse? And Camila Mendes? Just for a few characters.

idk if I’m allowed to use the like button, but this sounds AMAZING!!

thanks!!

#Novmemeber

this is cool!!

im not really trying to have a twist ending or twist villain in my story. I have fraternal twins (not the protagonist) in my story and working to avoid the common media tropes

#Novmemeber

my antagonist would be like a sea lamprey, which is an invasive eel-like fish that feeds like a parasite off of the fluid and blood of its host.

yeah that sums up my antagonist…
