In my fantasy WIP, probably the grandest thing in existence is The Library of Souls. It's the domain of the God of Fate and holds every book They've ever penned, each the story of a mortal that has lived, and it contains a book for every single mortal ever. It's never been seen so art of it varies.
#JanuaryWorldbuilders For me, one of the most enjoyable things about worldbuilding is coming up with grand ideas: scenery, a building, a tree, a planet, anything you consider big, beautiful, imposing, grand, majestic... pick your synonym. Tell me about it

I'm Cryptic, and I'll probably be working on lots of different worlds throughout this year because of my attention span. Right now though, I'm focused on two: The fantasy world of a WIP I've been poking at for a few years, and a modern mixed with magic world for a new WIP.
Welcome to a new year of worldbuilding! Let's kick off this year with Day 1 of #JanuaryWorldbuilders in which I ask you: tell me about yourself and the world(s) you're building. Just a general overviews. We'll get into the weeds throughout the year

Between figuring out why I was stuck on world building on an old WIP a few days ago (trying to do way too much in too small a space) and last night having a fully formed opening scene pop into my head while I was trying to sleep, I realized what I've been looking for this whole time (1/?)

Decided to share the beautiful hat I got at Teslacon that I'm planning to build a character off of for the con next year. Everyone thank @jaxwolffwrites.bsky.social for making me think to even post it!

The little thing making me happy today is the animatic I've been imagining in my head of my No Wrong Heroes characters set to Epic's God Games. Listening to it made me realize how I wanted to handle a certain part of No Wrong Heroes, specifically Thor having to actually earn Hercules' resurrection.

So, gonna be completely real. I know I said I was gonna do nice little WIP moodboards and introduce all my WIPs properly and what not. But life keeps smacking me around. I'll have a good day or two and then the next will gut punch me. So instead I'm going to post whatever makes me happy that day.

Demons are pretty consistent, but I do have a couple WIPs where they're not prevalent. Fucked up little guys who think they're irredeemable monsters also have a high tendency in my works.
What's something you always have to include in your writing? Why does it always have to be there? #WritingPrompt

So, I've been thinking about my D&D inspired WIP again (Thank you @jaxwolffwrites.bsky.social for enabling me to ramble about my Elves), and I do want to get back to it. But as I'm thinking about it, I'm realizing that what I really want is to figure out sharing info about all of my WIPs here. (1/?)

So, just to be clear, if you have anything that treats AI as a positive on your profile and interact with my stuff, I will block you. I don't care if I sound like "Old Man Yells at Cloud" or whatever. I want nothing to do with it, I'm tired of hearing about it, and I'm going to use the block button.

*Literally* Mick Martin.
Bonus: It keeps happening, and he doesn't know how to make it stop. There are bees and dragons everywhere, and they're *pissed off* at the government now. His god is pleased. Eleanor is like, "And this is why I hang out with you."

Didn't expect a description practice scene to be the first writing thing I shared, but I'm really happy with this! And would love to know what people think these creatures look like!

Trying to write a fitting horror description for the first time in my life and showing it to people feels very "Please don't be too grosssed out, but also please tell me this creature sounds disgusting!"

So, with my shiny new toy, I'm finding that I'd like some horror games to play. If anyone's got recommendations, let me know!
And also expect me to potentially be leaning into horror when I get back to writing.
