Day 6-Next Project

My current wip is another middle grade story. Instead of fantasy, I'm challenging myself with sci-fi this time around. Right now, it can best be described as the wackiness of RICK & MORTY meets the strong friendships and found family of DANDADAN.

#DVparty #MG #SF
A moodboard for my current WIP. Contains nine pictures. (Top row, right to left) Picture 1: A picture of outer space. Picture 2: A picture of spaceship controls. Picture 3: A picture of a planet. (Middle row, right to left) Picture 1: A picture of a sign with the words "The truth is out there" Picture 2: A picture of aliens staring at the 'camera' in a dark forest. Picture 3: A picture of a dark area with trees in the distance. A ray of light is being shone down in the center like a spiral (Bottom row, right to left) Picture 1: A yellow sign with an alien silhouette Picture 2: A sign that says "parking for aliens only" in bright green with a picture of an alien. Picture 3: A black and white picture of a spaceship.

Day 5-Song/Playlist

Here are a few songs that came to mind when writing MMTSP. Some of them relate to Maeve herself, while others encompass the story as a whole. I have a Spotify playlist, but that's a little too chaotic to post right now.

Day 2-Introduce Your Main Character

As the only descendant of Pride at Marwood Academy, Maeve feels as if a lot to prove-which often gets her into trouble. She can hold a grudge and has a hard time letting things go. Her ego is huge, but she has a heart of gold to match it.
#DVparty #MG #F

Her uniform is lilac and gold. A buttoned up lilac jacket, a gold vest with purple lining, a gold tie, and a plaid, purple skirt. She has a slight gap between her two front teeth.

Left to right: (Left) A 13-year-old Native American/Māori boy with long curly hair tied in a ponytail. He wears tiny gold hoops in his ears. His uniform is lilac and gold. A lilac jacket with the initials MA stitched into it, a gold vest with purple lining, a gold tie, and plaid, purple pants. The tallest of the group. (Middle) A 13-year-old Black girl with light blue hair styled into cornrows. She has multiple piercings on each ear, including two dangling crescent moons. She has a mole under her eye. She wears the same uniform as the previous boy, but her jacket is buttoned up and she wears a skirt. She has a slight gap between her two front teeth. Much shorter than the boy on the left, slightly taller than the boy on the right. (Right) A 13-year-old Black/Filipino boy who's wearing the same uniform as the previous two. He's added a dark purple hoodie to his uniform. His dark hair is sectioned into twists. He's wearing circular, golden-rimmed sunglasses. A small, red fox is perched on his shoulders.
