Haven't been crazy active here as of late, still acclimating on getting my feed to show writing and not just political stuff. Anyway! New blog post is up! #writing #fantasy #dragons #epicfantasy
The Future of Draigtir
A shadowy figure approaches the microphone. He reaches up and taps it once, twice, three times as a puff of dust coalesces around him. And then, he speaks."Is this thing on?"When last I posted, I inte...

Amusing moment in my edits. I discovered a minor character who is referenced in ONE CHAPTER, and never again. He's getting absolutely deleted FOREVER. #writing

I feel like I did a good deed? Saw an author on facebook advertise his book, the ad used AI art, I mentioned it politely and he actually messaged me asking if the ad really was a turnoff. Remember friends, not everyone is as tuned into these conversations. Educate educate educate.

Working on draft 2 and I finally reached the POV characters that were undercooked in draft 1. But I made a choice. One of them is downgraded to important but secondary. One loses pov status. Feels reasonable. #fantasywriter #writing #writer

New blog post is up! Defining adult fantasy vs. how I perceive it, and what I want to do differently from some of my favorite series in how it approaches more mature content.
What is Adult Fantasy?
Slight change of plans. I was going to wait until next week to write this topic and post my inspirations today. But this has been on my mind. What is the definition of adult fantasy? Typically what yo...

Chapter 5 of Draft 2 is in the can. Progress is steady, but my god I have 40 Chapters in Draft 1, and it'll end up being MORE chapters in Draft 2. 😅

One day I want to be able to write full time, because making some good progress in this second draft is feeling quite nice, only to turn quite infuriating when I realize I have to save, exit, and go to my dayjob. Even if I love my dayjob, but still. I want to write!

Any other #writers getting unsolicited dms offering editing services that seem surface level real, deeper level chat gpt esque, and ultimately kinda sketchy? I've had like 5 of these dms.

Tuesday. December is in full swing, and I'm sitting here revising my short story before getting into more draft 2 shenanigans. Tarva's story will be told.

Fellow #Writers who happen to also be gamers. How often, if at all, do you play RPGs and make your protagonists or other characters from your projects in those games and play as if they were in that setting? I find this to be a fun little exercise.

Next step, a brand new Chapter 3. Time to fill in some gaps that were missing early on. Love the process.

Draft 2, Chapter 2 is done. I think for me Draft 2 is all about the actual writing plus big story edits. My thinking is draft 3 is when I'll start tinkering, fine tuning, and making sure the world building is consistent. At least, that's my thought.

As I work on my website, I'm realizing I have so much art commissioned of my human characters, draconic characters, and even dragons in human shape... but I need to get on it with the art of the ACTUAL dragons.

Well. Time to seriously look into setting up the website then. Wasn't liking my options with squarespace's web designer, but I'm also not graphically artistic. Here we go.

Alright. This might be a dumb question. When's the right time to start making an author's website? I'm waist deep in draft 2, I've got a short story to revise, and other creative impulses on my mind as well. Is it ever too soon? Too late? Etc. #writers #writer #author #fantasywriter #fantasy

A lot of left winger accounts are following me. Hi. I don't bite. But just a heads up, the most political stuff you'll see me rant about are things relevant to writing fiction, because this account is entirely focused on fiction writing, creativity, fantasy, dragons, epic stuff. Just sayin'.

Random Sunday morning musing: through much of my youth and into adulthood, I have always been a fan of the barbarian archetype - be it a human barbarian like your Conans, OR in the case of high fantasy, your Orcs and bestial peoples. I've always enjoyed them. And yet, I'm writing dragons.

Following every damn fantasy writer I can find here. Indie, published, self published, epic, cozy, romantasy, dark, I don't care, we're all writers and we're all in this grand crazy awesome genre that is fantasy.

Side note, I'd like to thank @frostllamzon.bsky.social for the following commission. My short story that I just finished the draft of, tentatively titled "Dragon Blooded," focuses on a woman walking two worlds, only to find herself on a path to seeking counsel in the Boranthian Wilderness.
