You can have my complex plot, subtextual slow-burn romance-adjacent arc when you foreshadow prying it from my cold, dead, layered-symbol hands 200 pages ago with a side of Deez ex machinas.

You guys are writing not-trash? Is everyone doing that too?

It’s worse than hearing nothing at all. Until you go a few weeks hearing nothing at all. EDIT: oh,I got a reader today! Hooray for dopamine!

My MC like a daughter I couldn’t protect but am indescribably proud of. The supporting cast is the friends I would have wanted her to have.

And here I was shocked that it hadn’t been posted yet, turns out I just needed to wait 4 minutes.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Dialogue, and specifically natural character voices. I’ve been told by multiple people that they can tell exactly who is talking even without dialogue tags. A lot of my “exposition” is disguised as casual conversation or fridge-logic one liners.

Between work and kids I don’t have a lot of free time at the moment but I do get to play D&D every few weeks and volunteer at the VFW regularly. Aside from that though, and this may sound a bit obsessive, I like to dream up AUs for my characters and run through what they’d be like. It can be...

That 'broken' doesn't have to mean 'worthless', that one doesn't have to destroy themselves to protect others, and that healing isn't always linear, is rarely pretty, and frequently leads to places that aren't where we wanted to go but needed to be.

I managed to find the perfect sweet spot for absolutely no visibility...but I did it to myself, so I guess I can't complain. Technically fan fiction, but not using canon characters so...I guess I'm not really sure what audience I was aiming for? IDK, just wanted to tell a story. An Ember of...

The goat doesn’t show up until book 2, just so you’re not disappointed.

An Ember of Sundown: A traumatized church girl runs away from home after years of getting beaten up by her scary mom and immediately gets hired by four weirdos who think she’s just there to pass out bandaids. Turns out she’s actually a fantasy war crime waiting to happen who can transform into...

Nobledark. If I wanted Grimdark I'd just keep doomscrolling.

If your erection lasts more than 24 hours you need to cast it again or it might kill you.

My protagonist channels both divine radiance and primordial entropy. Not in a "dark vs light, good vs evil" way, but as complementary forces she struggles to balance within herself. She worships the Everlight while simultaneously being a Shadow Singer. That is, someone who can weaponize chaos...

Possibly related note: whoever just tanked all 112K words of book 1 today...I will find you and I will thank you. Profusely. I mean, realistically I probably won't find you but thank you anyway.

I have 5 books plotted out plus an anthology/epilogue volume with major scenes, plot points, twists, and some transitions roughly sketched out in separate documents. Drafting mostly involves connecting these and smoothing it all out, which often leads to new details. Books 2 & 3 were...
