this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

I'm really looking forward to writing the first appearance of the main antagonist in the Heirs of Finndrigair series in my current book. He's the world's angriest necromancer.
What’s something you’re looking forward to writing? A scene? A particular book? #WritingPrompt

I've never written Cyril and Daumantas' meet cute, so I'd probably do that as a bonus short story.
For your WIPs or published stories, if you were asked to write a "bonus scene" outside of the main plot, what would it be?

There is a lot about the right's attack on trans issues to be concerned about, but at a high level I think it's really important to double down on how entirely fabricated it is.
That's the case with women's sports, it's the case with kids getting lower surgery ... it's all hypothetical, not reality

I don't mean to amplify the garbage .... but also I really need to stress here once again that KIDS DON'T GET LOWER SURGERY. That doesn't happen!!!

In the Heirs of Finndrigair series, it can vary from region to region. Where Cyril comes from, transgender and non-binary people are called New People, and are not treated much differently from their cis counterparts. (cont)

One great way to support indie authors is to buy their books at small bookstores! Sword of the Voivode is available at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Consider purchasing it online or in person from them this #shopsmallsaturday

OOF. For Cyril, Daumantas' death would probably set him on a far different path (spoiler, Daumantas will be fine!) Cyril's goal is to live a more peaceful life, and losing his lover would make him drop that goal.
Rudolph would have to lose his will to live entirely.

My high fantasy has a host of feast days to celebrate the lives of the various saints. The biggest in Cyril's home country is the feast of Saint Vodomor, during which people share early summer harvests and participate in various sports and showcase acts of physical agility.
