Chloe Book 4's got some fresh new faces 😁 Get ready to meet:

- An Esper on the run
- A kid with anger issues who's become one of the POV character's apprentices
- A gruff older guy who will absolutely not become anyone's Shadow Daddy, we don't do that here

Title drop coming in a couple of weeks! 😊

I'm a plotter (but pantsing is valid, too!) I usually make a beat-by-beat outline before I ever start writing. I know some people practically write a novella for their outline, though.

What kind of plotter are you? Or, do you pants?

Not today, gnome 😡🧙

I just got a message today from someone gushing about how I'm "so brave" to "tell my powerful story". I'm sure if I had engaged them, they would've told me how they could take my marketing strategy to the next level.

Bruh, my books aren't memoirs, go cold message someone else.

Sullivan Hardgrave @sullivanhardgrave.bsky.social · 25d

Why am I like this 😭

It's ok, I'll just write from midnight till 2 and then sleep less 😊

Part of why I never successfully finished a book prior to 2023 was that I never plotted a story out in my life.

Now, I plot the “bones” of my books. The plot, character arcs, and settings are all outlined.

Are you a plotter or a pantser?
