I need a new pinned photo post 💙💚 #AbbyCanucks

Closeup of a hockey player, his mouthguard is between his teeth, watching the play from the bench. In the background, a heavily blurred teammate also on the bench.

A laughing hockey player with stick, chasing the puck. In the background, a goaltender in front of his net. It's warmups

Two hockey players, on opposing teams, both ready for the puck.

Players ready for the faceoff. Photo taken a split second after the puck was dropped.

Trevor Zegras, that's a ridiculous dish! 🤩

In short, the REAL reason DJT is suddenly sending troops into Portland, Oregon—in case it felt random. Literally--follow the money. Let me explain…
Yesterday, (Sept. 27th), I shared DJT's post on Truth Social: “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security,

Alex! I will be in Ottawa for the next couple of games (for the first time in 10 years!) and was wondering if the Sens hold open practice or morning skate?

My antagonist is still a fun guy, he's just wildly arrogant and cocky! I'm writing him from a place of remembering that he truly enjoys who he is, and he has reasons for being that way.

Ultimate = "final" vibes? 🤔🤔

#HockeyFiction #Romancelandia #WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

When Lucas let one in, he appeared to shake it off quickly, focusing on the next shift, the next shot. And, as the time clock wound down, even in the final seconds of play, the goalie stayed focused.

Yes, I agree. You don't want too much of a dramatic character shift. I believe it needs to be at least somewhat plausible.

2) Have him find happy by reaching his goal to be a valuable player on his new team

3) A combination of 1 and/or 2 is most likely, but in what degree?

I also wasn't sure where to end it. Would there be an expected end, or a cliffhanger?

#PlotTober Day 14: Story endings

I knew first and foremost, I wanted my story to have a happy ending—the gay new boy needed to find his happiness. But that didn't mean I couldn't make him work for it!

1) Have him find happy with a partner (who?) 1/2

Answer the prompt on the card by quoting this post. Remember, answering a prompt is always optional. Even if you don't share it publicly, I hope the prompt encourages you to think about it privately.

#PlotTober - a WIP plotting game by @gunsmile.bsky.social

14. Now that you have some ideas of your story's beginning and the main character's goals & growth, can you come up with a few different story endings that would be satisfying for a reader?

Remember: Use the #PlotTober hashtag, engage with others, and have fun!

Ooh, I like the ironic tragedy of C best, but it could also be fairly tricky to pull off. You have excellent key points to consider. I'm actually very curious what you decide to go with!

Mason is lucky in that he's at least 10 years older and remembers a world without social media, and likely can entertain himself without it!

Aiden is much too young and immature to have learned the lesson that it's likely better to NOT have social media!

(I need to remember to proofread!)

Day 13 // WK 2: MASKS & MONSTERS

I found it difficult, but I needed Aiden to hit an emotional rock bottom. He needed a point at which he would actively begin taking control of situations instead of letting them control him.

What do antagonist and MC think of each other?

Aiden initially knows nothing of Berky except that he's the talented star forward of the Baltimore Ravenstags, and that he's crushed on him for years.

Berky thinks Aiden is a naive kid who kinda reminds him of someone...

What do villain and MC think of each other?

Lior detests Blaize.

Blaize thinks Lior is a spoiled, pesky little creature.

#AwesomeCharacters - social media?

Aiden, for sure, uses social media. He spends more time than he should, prolly reads the mean things fans say about him, and very likely gets upset

Mason, if he uses it, would only follow dog accounts

Lucas would likely be a gear head, following goalie accounts

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 17h

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

For the sake of this hypothetical, your characters have social media in their world.

Do they use it? What kind of things are they posting about? Pictures, video, or text? What do they have as a profile pic?

Yes! He's super cerebral too, so you never get the cliche answers from him. 🥰

Chris, wishing Wolanin had a team @hockeyfannibal.bsky.social · 15h

I just want him on a team where he could not face 35+ SOGs/night with no goal support! 😭

I've never been able to meet him, but would love to. Seems like it would be an experience!

Chris, wishing Wolanin had a team @hockeyfannibal.bsky.social · 19h

I saw his first two starts and he actually played a very good game. I'm afraid this constant beating however will grind him down 😭😭😭
