All of it. I went five years without doing a single creative thing, and I was a husk of a person throughout. I kept trying to draw and write in small burst but would never stick with it because I was too exhausted from my job.

Now, I create as much as I can.

Day 17:

Tension with an Outside Eye

The Gnomes tinker their magical woven crafts. Excelling & synonymous with the trade, all cultures admire the inventions, the Gnomes proud to welcome such an audience. Though cautious as some would love to steal their fine work.

Greetings, #DecemberWorldbuilders. This week we're talking about the routine chores our characters do. In your setting, who makes or repairs clothes/armor? Do you have tailors or blacksmiths? Have any of your main characters had to learn any of these skills?

My characters tend to express this through mocking, teasing, banter, and sometimes harsh criticism. 😂

They trust each other enough to be honest, and they know they only give each other a hard time because they care.

And if the person you are closest to can't call you on your BS, who can?
#ThisOne’sForTheWriters

How do your characters express non-sexual intimacy (closeness if you prefer) with each other?

Do they use actions or words or both?
Share some examples (if you would like)

3rd & last WIP is #Charagma.

This one is an adult SFF fantasy dystopia, most likely a trilogy when it's done, based on the premise "What if Calvinist predestination was literally real?" It's set in an alt universe where there is one Supreme God, El, who is fully omniscient;🧵

#MythDecember Day 17: Weaponized magic tends not to be tied to physical objects. History records all manner of enchanted swords and halberds and shields, but from a practical standpoint, there are easier ways to kill. If you're talking about thaumaturgic schemata and geometry, on the other hand…
Today let’s talk about special weapons.

Most fantasy settings have at least some kind of magical weaponry, what kind of magic weapons does your setting have? (Or sci-fi)

Are these objects important because of what they can do, or what they represent? Or both?

Ranting about godmarks and the different god schools and magic types has me really excited about my setting. Like. I could write future books with protags who serve different gods. Or different witch covens. The culture in each one is so different. I could expand so much 🥹💛 aaaa I'm excited!!

Caspen and Farley do it through acts of caretaking as well as just listening to each other. Farley is fully capable of drying his own hair but Caspen does it anyway. They pass the orange peel test AND the bird test!
Here's a cute little scene of them doing chores together.

Definitely Farley. He's so strongly opposed to waste that he will repair anything damaged until it disintegrates rather than throw it out. He will ship of Thesus a pair of pants until it's a whole new pair of pants. He can do at least minor repairs on most anything.

Av'ry patches and repairs clothing, but in an amateurish and clumsy way.

This is revealed early on, when someone finds a pair of his white socks, which he has inelegantly darned using bright red yarn.

It's never pretty, but it works.🧵

Look an excuse for me to write an essay about godmarks!

In my world, there are 2 sources of magic. One is deific magic, which is cast either by gods directly or given to chosen mortals in the form of a brand. A godmark allows you to then wield the magic specific to that god. 🧵

For #WIPSnips today, a bit of certified May lore! She is, indeed a Capricorn. She has a lot of Aries and Gemini in her chart, though. She was born in January. July was her great, great, grandfather's chosen last name (Jack July) and her father named her May June because he thought it would be funny.

#SnowOnTheBen is a story of journeys. Kate is on a physical journey while a converging timeline tells us her historic emotional journey. This is the first time we switch back to the current timeline, and I think it feels quite refreshing.

I try to rely as completely as possible on my imagination. But my characters do contain bits of real sources I've picked up in life. Sometimes I'll think of a person's vibe but avoid directness. Lately Farley is getting microdoses of Florence Welch and that one nurse who comforted me at the dentist
How much of your characters comes from real people versus your imagination? I use a little bit from real people, but I’ve never been able to use their entire identities #writingq #WritingCommunity
