Day 7, What helps me relax: Painting or doing anything crafty! I love using gouache and doing mixed media... reading or playing video games or watching documentaries. #FantasyIndiesNovember #indieauthor #writer #relax

Day 6, Helpful Writing Tools: I depend on Obsidian for my story atlas. It is a life saver for keeping things organized. I write with Scrivener, and despite having it for three years, I'm still learning helpful things about it! #FantasyIndiesNovemeber #WIP #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Day 4, Inspiring Authors: I actually read more Historical non-fiction than anything, so I feel Dan Jones is inspiring in the way he can really hook you in. As far as fiction, I'm inspired by Sharon Kay Penmen to step out of my usual genre to write in a different genre. #FantasyIndiesNovember #WIP

Day 21- Scary movie/tv show recs: I'm actually a little scaredy cat and I don't watch horror movies. I have watched Kill Count though so I know what happens and feel 'in the know'. 🥸 #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #scaredycat #writingcommunity

Day 20: Morally grey character: I think the closest there is to a morally grey character would have to be Tobias, a Wavesworn working in the palace at Eddal. Is he supportive of Alphaeus? Or do he have his own plans? #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #writingcommunity #amwriting

Day 16: Tricks and/or treats in WIP: I haven't really thought much on 'tricks', but there are treats! Seggeo roots that have been roasted and candied are called 'nudgefudge' that children and adults alike really love. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #writingcommunity #amwriting

Day 15: Isolda enjoys dressing up, so I definitely see her wearing a high fashion ball gown. Alphaeus, I can see him making a grand entrance with some sort of excessive outfit, maybe even with mock Angfalk wings that expand and retract. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Day 14: Villains henchmen: Aw, yes a villain needs their henchmen! Prince Alphaeus has his loyal Wavesworn, Ballas "The Bloodthirsty". His other Wavesworn, Tamsen, once believed to be loyal, disappeared under mysterious circumstances... #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #amwriting

Day 12: What do my MC & villain think of each other? Isolda thinks Alphaeus is a strange, selfish monster. Alphaeus mistakes Isolda as weak, thus seeing her as an opportunity to gain more power. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #indieauthor #WIP #amwriting

Day 9: One of my favorite paranormal/mythical creatures is a gryphon and second would be a unicorn. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #indieauthor #WIP #amwriting

Day 7: Villain's goals: Alphaeus' goals were initially to protect his family's throne; however, as he fell deeper into darkness, his goals became more about power than protection. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #amwriting

Day 6: Monsters in WIP: I would definitely say that the antagonist, Alphaeus, is not a monster himself, but the choices he makes leads to him doing monstrous things. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WIP #indieauthor #amwriting

Day 5: Isolda is afraid of being seen as weak and unworthy of the Imperial throne by her people; and of her father purposely keeping her from being battle tested to preserve his peace making legacy. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #amwriting #WIP #indieauthor

Day 2: I've never been good about scary things, I am too prone to nightmares! But my characters don't have the same issues... Isolda (the MC) learns to face her fears head on throughout the series. #writingcommunity #FantasyIndiesSpooktober #indieauthor #WIP

Day 7: Mental health in WIP- In a way, this series is my own kind of therapy. I threw out the common 'dead parent' and 'evil stepparent' & 'broken family' tropes and gave Isolda a 'normal' family, good relationships & happy childhood memories. #WIP #FantasyIndiesAugust #indieauthor #writingcommunity
