From my current WIP "A nausea began to creep up my throat. Cold terror settled on my shoulders and squeezed the air from my lungs." Not quite scare, but close enough. #queerwriters#WritingCommunity#lineshare#lgbtqwriters
They were ushered inside a hallway lit with orange glowstones. Another cleric held aside a wine-red curtain, letting them into the staging area, where the lights were dimmer. #LineShare#QueerWriters#ViolinHeist#LGBTQWriters#WritingCommunity
#queerwriters lineshare 'orange' This exercise has revealed to me that apparently I will use the colour orange at moments of tension, where something is about to go down. Never the moment itself, but just before. I had no idea about this tendency, and I'll be keeping my eye out for it in the future!
#LGBTQWriteAThon June 14: Pride Flags I have a whole HUGE cast of characters in my Sands of Theia series & all of them are queer, but I've picked just a few to showcase here: the MC's & important 2ndaries. Tirzah: Bi Green: Aromantic, Asexual Natane: Inclusive Sapphic*, Demisexual Xan: Genderflux
#LGBTQWriteAThon June 13: Setting Mood Board Every book in the Sands of Theia series is set in, well, the sands of Theia. It is a desert world, where there is very little water. It never rains & it's always sunny, cloudless, & HOT. Theia holds many mysteries & I'm enjoying writing them for readers.
Writing Goals this week: 🐌 Finish writing the Chapters 5-7 sociology questions I'm helping a college prof design 🐌 Write two paragraphs a day of S&C or Banshee to get back into daily writing goals 🐌 Other misc little writing tasks 🐌 Finish some handwritten letters to mail out!! #LGBTQWriteAThon
Liam's intro from Soil & Clay #LGBTQWriteAThon "The man gave the impression of a small mountain that had grown legs and wanted to go shopping. His expression was weighed down under a strong brow, his chestnut hair clipped short and clean. He remained near the door, arms crossed over his chest."
Oh my dear #LGBTQWriteAThon, I wish I had better news for check-in day. While I did accomplish many "real life" things, between work and home I've not really been able to get words down.
Day 4 & 5 of #LGBTQWriteAThon go hand in hand. Soil & Clay is heavily inspired by folklore and Appalachian horror. Banshee is my new WIP but I'm aiming for a 1960s not-dark ghost story. LEGACY is inspired by the work of many indie TTRPG folk, like Mousehole Press and Buried Without Ceremony.
#LGBTQWriteAThon June 4 (Catching up) I don't have any good comp titles (my spouse & I spent an hour last night brainstorming) so the fact that I forgot to post yesterday means I can catch up and still have a post! My inspiration for my WIP comes from a few places, but mostly this amazing OST.
