Writing thought:
I definitely struggle with setting the scene. It's always a big task during the editing process. I rarely have a full picture in my head
How bout you?
Where is your biggest hurdle?
And do you have any suggestions on improving mine (or on someone else's comment)

Writing thought:
Do you keep track of your character's birthdays?
For me, it depends on the character, and what time of year the story takes place. It's often an afterthought
In case you missed it, I did an interview with Quill & Query
Check it out!
My camera goes out like 5 mins in, so you only have to look at me for a few minutes 😁

Writing thought:
What do you think of the idea if following the inspiration?
Like, when you feel passionate about a story and start writing that, but during that story, you get a new idea.
Do you pause the current project and work on the new one? Or commit?
I do a bit both
Writing thought:
Legends of people or places are fun to add in a story. Do you include legends? And if so, are you tempted to write another book about them?
This dropped Friday and I totally missed it! 😅
I did an interview with the Quill and Query YouTube channel.
I feel bad for missing the debut. Please watch it 🙏🥺

Had a good walk yesterday and thought of some plans for my book...
And promptly forgot about those ideas when I became available to write them down
Writing thought:
How social are your characters?
Is it pretty realistic? Or more social than today's average person?
I almost feel like there's a need to add more sociality within characters today.
Of course, it also depends on the setting
Since we're basically halfway through October (you're welcome for the reminder), I thought I'd showcase the cover and title for book 6 of The Ruination Game!

Currently I need to stay in the top 15 for this round, but it would be mighty easier if I could keep in my current place or higher 😍

Are you a book reviewer on Bookstagram, BookTok, YouTube, Goodreads, or a book blog?
I'm looking for reviewers for Crownfall, a standalone Nobledark fantasy
If that sounds like your kind of story, send me a DM, and I'll be happy to provide a digital review copy.
Writing thought:
Do you have a favorite part of your process when making a project?
Mine changes frequently. Sometimes I enjoy starting a new project and figuring out the world. Sometimes I prefer editing. And so on.
She's a fantastic host!
