Saturday snippet: Lys asking Cyn about his life.

#ChasingWildDreams

www.anderlandbooks.com/re/#chasing
“Did you ever go to school?” she asked. “When your mom was alive?” “No,” he said curtly. It cut too close. “She taught me some when I was younger, but I forgot most of it… later on. Other things were more important.” “But you do know how to read and write.” “Indeed.” He smirked again. “I do know the difference between me and sin as well.” “No offense, but I mostly associate obscene amounts of chocolate with sin.” This time, she smirked as well. “You don’t stand a chance in comparison.”

Reading the #NovemberWorldbuilders skeets, I wonder who on Earth ever thought that having such a low character limit per post here on Bluesky was ever a good idea 🤪

The Impact, the Days of Chaos are recent. But I haven't yet talked about the technology that enabled people to witness someone else's dreams. First, it was used in trauma therapy, then entertainment industry seized it, and then it got out of control.

Heya, #NovemberWorldbuilders! It's the last day of our HISTORY week. Tell me something about the more recent history of your world. What's something important that happened in the last 20 years or so from when your story takes place? Perhaps something that sets off the inciting incident

The Impact is still the most legendary event if this past. Official version is that the fragments of a meteor hit Earth after a failed attempt to change its course.
The truth, however...

Titles?

Usually, a title evolves while I'm writing the story. Sometimes, I also brainstorm with friends, tossing ideas.

In the case of #ChasingWildDreams I wanted to call it Dream Chasers or Wild Dream Chasers first, but that title was taken. So, it became this instead.

I listen to music while I dream up the next scene. Once I start writing, though, I need quiet. Especially if the songs are in a language I speak.

The Impact changed Cyn's life forever. He was still a little kid, but his dad vanished during the Days of Chaos, and his family lost almost everything. His mom tried to keep them fed which killed her in the end.
Cyn would have never ended on the street

#NovemberWorldbuilders Let's talk about how the world's history directly impacts your main character (or some other important character in the world you're developing). Do they have an important ancestor? Was there a specific event, say a war or diaspora, that impacted their current life?

Dealing w/ imposter syndrome?

Yeah... I've no super advice here. I write for fun first and foremost, but ever since sharing my work with others, I've faced the occasional bout of "what am I doing here?"
Positive feedback helps. Concentrating on the story does, too.

The gang bosses made a huge impact during the Days of Chaos. They stepped into the vacuum of lost leaders after the Impact and mostly terrorized the people. If you weren't in a gang, you were either rich, lost, or very clever.

Saturday Snippet: random chose this one - Lys being fearless again while Cun tries to indulge her.

#ChasingWildDreams
“Maybe that is the trick. You managed to make something corporeal.” “Lys. I’m a trickster, not a magician. I can’t do that.” “But you did something! What did you think when you succeeded?” He rolled his eyes. “I wasn’t exactly thinking much,” he muttered. “I just wanted to get away. Not be there. Be somewhere safe. Be invisible.” “Invisible?” She perked up. “That’s new. Maybe you cannot conjure up something corporeal, but can you hide someone?” He frowned. The words had been spoken carelessly, out of frustration. He had never thought about being invisible. He had also never tried, at least not consciously.

The unnamed city in which the story takes place is right next to the river. It's divided into quarters, with first being the innermost & richest quarter. The further out, the poorer and less kept. Ninth & tenth on the outskirts are openly rotting.
