Hockey Romance WIP: cars or the team's tour bus. Transportation isn't an issue in this one.
Ghost Car WIP: they drive in the haunted car. It is 100% central to the plot because the ghost is an MC and attached to the car. 😹 #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What methods of transportation do your characters usually use to get around?
Horses, ships (water, space, air), cars, walking, other?
Does transportation ever cause your characters difficulty?

It occurs to me that if I died suddenly from a heart attack or something... no one would know. My online presence would simply vanish and even my best friends who live overseas would never know. I'd just be gone.

Want to hear a tragedy? I have had to downsize my library 3 times over the past 12 years, and now my physical library is in storage in 3 tiny boxes, and the manga on my shelf. My ebook library is over 400 books and it's not ideal but at least I can read. And it's portable. #Bookvember

Toxic living situation gonna toxic.
Barely say 2 words and I'm already pissed off because I'm treated like shit. My existence here is so loathed, I'm so hated, I can't even say good morning without being treated like the scum of the earth.

Tonight's handmade Yule gift: kanzashi flower hair clips. I'm making a set of 2, and they'll get put on some clips when I assembly line the hot glue gun in a bit. Hand-stitched petals of imported Japanese cotton fabric, and a small wooden bead in the middle.

I think that, for right now, I am on a solo journey to get some work done on my WIP, but once I have a little more written (and maybe rewritten because I'm not 100% on it) maybe having a beta reader just give me a little feedback. Need to do a 1st chapter swap! #WeeknightWriters
Q5: What can we in the #WeeknightWriters community do to make the next week of #FirstDraftFall easier for you?

Finish assignments, pass the 2 back-to-back exams I have... and maybe find a few extra hours to sleep. Once assignments are done, I'll have extra hours to write. #WeeknightWriters

I'm a fast writer, and a good editor, but its still a lot of time and effort to get to the finish line. And, it's just so fun to get to the shiny thing. #WeeknightWriters

My FAVOURITE part so far is just getting to sit with a new WIP. My other WIP had taken up so much space in my head and so much time, I'm excited to be starting something new to shake things up. 😹😹 #WeeknightWriters

I'm barely into the story but my MC is so unlikable, on purpose, he's meant to be a whiny, sh*tty, useless guy who won the lottery and gets embroiled in this plot. I'm worried the set up is too boring and he's TOO unlikable - I swear he gets better though. #WeeknightWriters

Hi everyone, I'm KS and I haven't really been drafting much because I'm in crunch mode for the end of my school semester so I know I'm not finishing my WIP. It's a paranormal urban fantasy heavily inspired by Supernatural and the Cataluna Chronicles by RL Stine. #weeknightwriters

It was, in fact, not a happy Thursday for her and as soon as she sent the sentiment out into the world, the universe decided to kick her ass in every conceivable way. 🙏🙏🙏
