The moment you realize you've written over 22000 words and are halfway through the novella... feels good. #writing #writingsky #ufso

Blackwing by C.M. Alongi. Not dumb, but I am annoyed it's on Kindle as I am trying to limit screen time... I say on a social media app. #books #booksky #reading

This book has decided it is going to kill me.

135,000 words.

It's. Not. Freaking. Done.

(It's close though)

The first few sentences/paragraphs of the first novella in the Untitled Fantasy Space Opera series. #writing #writingabook #ufso #escapefromepoh
the first few paragraphs of a book in process. What if was a dangerous drug, one Rowan struggled not to become addicted to. Everyone asked themselves what if. What if they were taller, what if they were smarter? What if could occupy your thoughts and drive you mad. It could consume you. What if you had married another man? What if you chose to specialize in illusions rather then potions? What if you had chosen to research pyromancy instead of chasing after chronomancy? It was enough to drive people to drink, and working in the Last Chance Tavern was enough to expose Rowan to the addicts of the worst sort. Folk talking moodily about lost chances to be adventurers. Bitter lovers wishing they ran off with someone else. Magic users mouring the lost lessons. What if affected everyone around Rowan. Even her coworkers and boss fell victim to it. She tried not to overdose herself, even as her own thoughts spiralled.

One of the harder things to really hammer down while writing if I'm honest. #writing #books

Solid white background. On the left side of the graphic is a staircase with red, gold, and blue flowers wrapped around it. The main text says, “Voice is demonstrated via tone, word choice, sentence structure, paragraph structure, use of description, exposition, narration, dialogue, pacing, themes, character archetypes, even subject matter. ” The company logo is on the bottom right corner, it's a lightbulb standing on top of an open book. Solid dark teal background. The main text says, “Disclaimer.” The body text says, “As always, general advice is complicated and hard. There are always exceptions and times when it isn’t applicable. This is why getting individual feedback can be so important. Remember: use the advice that works best for you and your writing!”

Working on the third draft, but then the fourth chapter has decided that no actually you need to completely rewrite me, and add this instead, oh and this makes way more sense and hey, add two more characters to this scene. #usfo #writing #workwithmehere

What happens when you learn everything you thought you knew was a lie? One forced upon you by others? Things change. Your beliefs, your friends, your life, yourself- they all change. It's your choice if that change is good or not.

For Rowan, she isn't sure what hers will be. #usfo #writing #book
