Writing SILVERLEAF, a webserial novel up on Royal Road, Inkitt, Tapas, Ream, and Patreon for free!

Ream: https://reamstories.com/kouplefruit
Patreon: http://patreon.com/Kouplefruit

I also dabble with crochet, gardening, video games, OPTCG, hiking~
Finally starting the dread of editing the rest of SILVERLEAF pt 1, only to realize I never replaced my entirely spent highlighters or pens that I do my bulk editing with.

So yay! I get to delay editing with a proper reason!

Also boo! I hate buying replacements!

The pros and cons of getting sick:

Pros:
- no energy to waste time not plotting.
- lots of time to plot, as I'm not moving around.

Cons:
- no energy to waste time not plotting.

Me: Reads another book using spiders as a fear tactic and ultimately squishing 3 of them.

Also me: Immediately decides to increase my FMC's affection for spiders in retaliation.

Justice for spiders!

Day 8:

In SILVERLEAF...

The four main seasons exist in Lanria, though their fall and springs are on the shorter side.

The rise and fall of the temperatures are told to lure out the beasts and beings that revel in it.

Winter is of the corrupted.

Summer is of the pure.

Day 7:

Nice or naughty~

Taiga: nice. He is cold, calculating, but always puts the good of others first.

Mouse: naughty. He would be insulted otherwise.

Jule: a little tougher... Naughty.

Ellio: nice. He is nothing but giving and kind.

Azhar: why does it matter?

Day 3:

Maaaaan more book recs? I am the worst at this!

How about the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden?

Fantastic books set in a deadly, wintery landscape. And hey! It's currently winter!

(This may be the most fitting thing I could think of, lol)

Day 2:

Holidays in SILVERLEAF...

The solstices are celebrated quietly with those close to you. They celebrate the coming and passing of time and those coming and going from life.

In non-human societies, solstices indicate waves and ebbs in magic, and are like festivals.

Day 1:

Hello! Kaila Winacott here~
I also go by Kouplefruit. I write serial fiction on sites like Royal Road and Inkitt.

SILVERLEAF is an LGBT+ friendly fantasy adventure.

CICADA KEEPER is... The same lol. I have a type, clearly. This one is very much a WIP atm tho~

Day 28:

I sorta collect things?

I collect small rocks on my travels to tumble, which I started partly because I made Mouse (character in SILVERLEAF) a rock collector.

And I collect DON!! Cards in OPTCG, but that's kinda for our side business.

That's kinda it, lol.

Looking through some old college folders and remembered how batshit my art history teacher was.

So many stories to be told about her, but the one lingering on my mind today is of how absolutely convinced she was that aliens had ruled ancient Egypt. This was based on art like this.

Day 26:

Book titles?

Hmmm complex question. I'm pretty fond of 1-2 word titles at the moment (SILVERLEAF and CICADA KEEPER as examples).

But I try to think of main themes within the book to fill those words with. I do like a little foreshadowing in them too, though~

Skipping to the 24th because I was hella sick the last few days with a migraine and screw screens lol.

Day 24:

YES I listen to music!! I have several scene based playlists ready to go at all times. Sad/emotional music, action music, background music... Mostly instrumental.

Day 20:

I find inspiration everywhere. Current life, past life, music on the radio, books I'm reading, my cats, video games, gardening... I mean, the list is shorter for what I DON'T find inspiration from.

Day 18:

Ooooh interesting question. Favorite character I've created, hmm?

From what's released, probably Mouse from SILVERLEAF. He's just SO FUN to write, full of flaws, and is def made of chaos.

For those unfamiliar, he's a hot mess. And I love that for him.

Day 16:

Planster by practice, planster by nature.

There are pros and cons to plotting and winging it, and through writing and rewriting, I realized my biggest issue was the story went wherever it felt, without an end in mind.

Day 12:

(Yes, yes, I'm a day behind lol)

Good advice: just start writing. Ignore the what ifs and worries. You'll never get the book written if you don't WRITE it.

Bad advice: show, don't tell. My least favorite garbage. Sometimes you just gotta tell.
