Now that I got the artist's full green light, he is the full art for my character Cym, the playful and level headed female supporting good guy character for my weird unfinished Sci-Fi Fantasy novel 'A curse of optical haptics'. 🥹🥹🥹

Hahaha, for odd reasons, a sharable expo I made for a class that I probably only took an hour to write from almost 10 years ago and forgot about is apparently viewed by tons of people in my major. An ex coworker joked to me about it cuse it was so funny. It's actually kinda bizarre.

Mad respect for authors that don't burn out or run out of ideas so quickly! 😱😱😱

Nancy Foster 😼💉🇲🇽 @drafoxter.bsky.social · 3h

I have been taking longer at times duebto writers block. Also because I take university classes so I need to balance homework with hobby fun writing. If I didn’t write chapters whenever an idea pops up, I'd have burned out or written something I hated.

I have been capable of weiting 120,000 novels in 3 weeks if I am really focused. However, lately I take my time and have been averaging 1 novel a year.

And cheating. Lots and lots of cheating. 😈

I need a final showdown for the book and my writers block has made me unable to think of how to end it. But given how much the protagonist hates playing the game because of childhood trauma, I can see playing the game against the big boss to be a cool final arc battle.

Board games in your book's world

I don't mention any board games in An Ominous Book. Spaulding doesn't seem interested in them. Hama much less.

My haptics book has a popular game called Coris that is touted to be unpredictable and aggravating.

That book is going to live rent free in my head for years to come. I couldn’t even write a coherent review in English because it shocked me so much.

I feel Cym would carry the helm of the book if Leenx was further incapacitated. I could see a book from her POV where she becomes less jealous of Leenx's fortune and becomes more proactive in removing the family curse.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Let's talk about the B team!

If your main characters were out of commission, which of your side characters do you think would step up to continue your story?

Who could carry the narrative? Who would want to?

Can employees sue the government for wage theft? Seems like a good gig for lawyers.

It has been a common complaint of UK and Canadian authors. Possibly one of my books was stolen but I wasn't listed because its registered Mexican copyright leaves the book out.

Request for writers who consider me a friend, especially those of you who do WIPSnips or other engagement posts talking about your wip:

If you have the time and energy, post here about your wip. Give me CONTEXT. Tell me who your characters are and their relationships. Tell me about your setting.

The catch is you inherited the curse that killed the asshole you exiled you, freako glowing eyes appear in your hands, you are sick all the time and your entire family is toxic. Oh and ignore the creepy chains rattling beneath the family estate. Every oligarch mansion as their lil quirks. Right?

Imagine you are living pretty well with a modest salary as a single military IT worker. A night of pub crawling with coworkers is ruined when you get a phonecall from your estranged aunt tell (ordering) you to be in your hated granduncle's funeral. Your thwart their plans but end up as headmaster.

I hope it isn't something serious. Some people can be busy. I sometimes don't post because I either wake up too late, forget or I am doing homework. Just know that I think you are awesome and love your books.
