To my friends in Gaza, so sorry I can’t donate to all of you. All I can do is share your campaigns and i’ll do that the best I can.

To everyone else, imagine the indignity of having to beg on social media apps. Sharing helps visibility if you can’t donate and please don’t report them as spam.

Erika works 8 hours a day harvesting raspberries on CAs Central Coast. She shares, "I must be very careful to only harvest the ripe fruit. This careful selection means that only the best quality berries are packed and shipped to the supermarkets for you to eat." #WeFeedYou

wonders about living the rest of his life with a fugitive giant trans bee and the difficulties that will come from that. He must come to terms with the value of love and if it’s worth the struggles and self sacrifice.

live a very long time, and if he wants to spend the next few thousand years on the run from his sister who will also live to be ancient as the new ruler of the world, or if he will step up and take back the crown.

The midpoint of this story happens when Atl and Ballard arrive at the Free Hive which turns out to not be a Hive at all, but a city populated by free bugs and humans. There is no Queen, and not nearly enough bees to fight off an attack. Atl must come to terms with the fact that he will +

15. The midpoint of the story serves two purposes: (1) it reveals critical information to the MC and (2) causes the MC to confront both who they used to be and who they need to become to grow, change, and/or achieve their goals. What are some ways you could do this?

I can’t think of a single instance of this being part of a fictional plot and going “you what would be so cool”

Atl 🤝 Tally

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Atl: “I see what’s wrong… you’re unsatisfied. Unacceptable.”

Atl will step up as a leader, though not in the way he expects. Ballard will find a lot of contentment as a consort to his king and maybe still having the occasional gunfight as a treat.

14. Now that you have some ideas of your story's beginning and the main character's goals & growth, can you come up with a few different story endings that would be satisfying for a reader?

The Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the Caribbean, we were never wiped out. We're still here.

Yes, the slave trade and settlements from Spain and other countries populated the islands. People mixed. Married.

It's a brutal history.

Still today, I honor that Indigenous people are still here.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I kiss her because I want to stop talking. I take her cup, place it on the table, and kiss her again, more forcefully so there’s no mistaking my goals. As she leans back, I draw up her shirt and suck her breasts. Then, the hunger morphs. My claws come out. Entranced by her smell, I cover her neck with slow, broad licks. 
“Do you want my blood?” she asks. 
“Please,” I answer as my fangs descend. I want to do more playful things, but once that door is opened, it can’t be closed. 
She trembles beneath me as I cut her with a kiss, sometimes gently, but often not these days. I am a predator, and she is prey carved open to yield heavenly food. Swallow after swallow, I am weightless, and Annie moans. I can’t help it—I sink my fangs deeper, and a growl escapes. Her skin gives easily, and all I want to do is tear it open. We’re toying with danger, and she enjoys it as much as I do, but it doesn’t help my willpower to stop. Her smell and the flavor of her blood are now thoroughly associated with indulgence, a high unlike anything I’ve ever had—and I’ve escaped into drug-induced oblivion with unhealthy frequency.

the situation doesn’t escalate and result in unnecessary deaths. When an exiled Atl attacks the group, Ballard realizes the Queen is dead and a regime change is about to take place.

Ballard is escorting a caravan of merchants from one town to another, guarding against thieves and predators. When they reach their destination, a local group offers to pay him to watch their backs as they steal water from a drone village. While he doesn’t want to steal, he goes along to make sure+

The story opens with Atl preparing for the tournament where he will fight the other candidates to the death for the crown. He gets outed as trans, and must make the decision to go through with the tournament anyway even without support from the Hive, only the drones, and he plans to die+

13. Let's begin brainstorming the main plot points of our WIPs. Knowing what you know of your main character(s), what are a few potential ways you could begin their story?

Queen, and a spirit of war and lust haunting him and weakening his principles of justice and progress. He wants to be a fair ruler who doesn’t just consume his enemies (or sexual partners), but this nature is deeply embedded within him and he struggles throughout the story.

and his sister whom he spared in his tournament instead of eating her like the other candidate. She chose not to kill him and make him a martyr, but after he began to amass support among the humans, she would rather go to war than surrender the crown.
2) Atl’s other problem is his mother, the First
dimreaper.bsky.social
The main antagonist in this story is world itself. The land is harsh and people are competing with giant insect predators for limited resources. How they work together (or don’t) is the main conflict. Atl has two personal antagonists 1) Elea, the Hive’s new Queen, chosen after his exile +

12. What could you use to represent obstacles that try to stop the main character(s) from achieving their goals and from growing into the person they could potentially be? Consider other characters, forces of nature, difficult circumstances, etc.

This is a very interesting question because I thought a lot about my books carrying on without me back when I had much less mental fortitude and thought a lot about unaliving myself but I never really considered much *what exactly* I wanted people to think about them except "good art"

This did not stop him from engaging in mercenary work and often killing bees of other Hives when paid well enough, and he didn't make much effort to stop abuse when he saw it. He believes survival of the fittest is the rule of the land and people who stand out or try to be different die young.
