Fantasy- The woods shows up as a setting for my character to hide in on campus.

Mystery- The climax takes place in a wooded area.

HermitageWIP- Trees are very key to this story.
An obsession with trees sparks the relationship and eventually its hardships.
They're thematically important, too.

🌿 Good morning, #writers! 🌿

Yesterday I shared some lore about the Chrysillium Trees in my stories. Today I’d love to hear from you—
Do trees (or forests) play a role in your writing? If so, how? 🌳✨

Yes! Do you get them too? Coming out of the lingering phase now. It was a bad one. Thankfully, seeing my neurologist next week 😌

Oooh, I LOVE this. So the forest is like a gateway between the two worlds? And I can’t wait to read this story you are working on 😊✨

Pumpkin bread in the oven, my son on his STEM class call, and the perfect fall day outside. Can’t wait for a nighttime corn maze later 😌🍂✨

Had a terrible migraine today. Left work early and slept the second half of the day. Feeling a little better now but probably going to lay low tomorrow too. Look forward to connecting more over the weekend 💛

This artwork is stunning. The emotion... it's living art.

✨The Chrysillium Trees✨
Across my stories, these sacred trees root the world in magic and mystery 🌌 Mystical beings called the Shalik once pulled them from the stars—before vanishing centuries ago.

The trees echo through all three stories, and I can’t wait to share more with you 💙

Thank you so much! This poor story - in particular this scene - has been through sooo many revisions 😅 And still, I’m not quite done yet. Appreciate your kind, supportive words 💖

Is it! I had no idea 😊 I don’t remember where I came up with it- probably heard it used somewhere. But that’s so interesting and fitting because she was an older, mother-figure to Isaac in book 1.

Those of you who’ve read my first book, TCT, might remember the little village of Epoth that Mæve called home while she learned her healing arts. We return there in book 2, but the village is quite different this time around… #WIPSnips from SoS for “miss”

Rowynn discusses her magic with Panez… This is a huge stretch but I envision it as a pink-orange sunset 😅🌅 #WIPSnips from SoS subbing pink for “salmon”

Yes! That is a great way to describe it.

This story sounds really interesting!

Laken Honeycutt 💫 Editing Book 2 💫 @mycelialwriter.bsky.social · 10d

That makes sense! I feel like these stories take on a life of their own. I think that's so interesting you start with the arc - I feel like that's the part I struggle with the most. Maybe I should try starting there too.

It is! These characters are really the ones in charge 😅

I love this and it makes sense that as the story progresses so too will the characters.
