These heels tell a story I wouldn’t wish on my worst character… but I’d still write it

I love this quote from author Jocelyn Lieu: "Writing first drafts is flinging nets of words around dreamed moments that defy capture." 🌈📝

Happy drafting #writingcommunity!

#PlotTober Day 14: Story endings

Brooke goes through some major character growth & finds that her priorities have shifted significantly. I hope it's a satisfying end, although it certainly sets book two up for Brooke to have those new priorities thoroughly challenged!

#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!

Curious how the cover ties into the story there’s definitely something unsettling about it. Looking forward to diving in soon!

I actually know an artist personally who’s working on the cover of my book

If you’d like I can send over their contact info!

Nancy Author @harperlewis12.bsky.social · 6h

I actually have a go to artist who’s great with sci-fi and cyberpunk covers and they’ve done some awesome work and might be a good fit for your sapphic dystopian serie.

What’s your book about? I’m working on a dark romance/thriller myself so I get how important the right cover is

Finished Chapter 3 last night. I wasn’t prepared for how much Caleb’s story would grip me

The darkness is thickening and the lines between predator and prey are starting to blur. This twisted tale is coming alive… and it’s

To rise above the world’s clamor is to find a space where the mind can breathe free

untouched by the weight of judgment, where creation flows like a river unchained

True

Nancy Author @harperlewis12.bsky.social · 7h

Exactly. Reality breaks its own rules and expects us to live with the consequences.
In fantasy, at least the monsters have reasons and the pain means something

I’m in the middle of a 3 mile walk. I’m doing this to move my lymph fluid. The weather is quite nice. Trying to get a minimum of 7k steps. More is good too

my favourite comment on TS's latest album was the woman who said, "Times are so hard that I don't want to get in my car and hear a song that says, I'm not a bad bitch. Like what?! We need all the affirmations we can get. Stand up! That is so low vibrational!" 😂

Big news!
I’m officially working on my novel

A dark romance/thriller that’s been haunting my mind for a while now… and it’s finally coming to life.

To make it feel real, I even made a story trailer
Can’t wait to share a glimpse of this twisted world with you soon

There’s an amazing cover artist I’ve worked with who perfectly captures the heart of my stories. Her art style is stunning and I’m so lucky to call her a friend! Check out her portfolio

Not sure if her comms are open but it’s worth asking!
