Is story driven by romance?
In Mielea's Lost, there is a few side plots with romance but it not center stage.
In Project Phoenix, for Tezzy there is romance. His first love is taken from him and he eventually heals enough to trust his heart to another. #fantasy #sci-fi

MC's Goals
Jokull's main goals are to bring back the colonists and get home in one piece.
For Project Phoenix, Tezzy's main goal is to take down a fell deities acolyte that wants to obtain ultimate power.

Does your MC begin journey prepared or reluctantly?
Jokull and his crew were prepared for some things. Getting shot down wasn't one of them.

In Project Phoenix, Tezzy never thought a family member would try to kill him and it takes time to recover from it. #Sci-Fi #fantasy

Mc's Wardrobe and weapon of choice
Jokull is either in his captain's uniform or dress clothes. Perfered weapon are his laser pistol and his ice magic.

Tezzy likes material that blood can be easily removed. He punches everything and catches things on fire.

What are you looking forward too this year?
Finally getting Mielea's Lost into a real editors hands. Self edit only goes so far.
Im looking forward to seeing what pleasant surprises happen this year.

I'm Jade McStar. I'm working on several Wips.
Mielea's Lost is book 1 of a Sci-Fi series. Drafting the second book of the series. ❤️
Project Phoenix (working title) is a fantasy story tied into the world I made for my D&D campaign. Still a rough draft. 1/2

Free Friday
The holiday has been peaceful but no time to write.
I can't wait to see what all cool projects everyone is working on for next year.
Also should be able to finish at least another one of my own. Thats the goal anyway. 😄

Happy Holidays everyone!

Also please try to be nice to your grocery store employees this time of year. We can't help if the supply chain for certain products didn't supply us with enough product to get us through the holiday.

What gifts would your characters give each other?
Jokull would likely give his love interest a bottle of her favorite wine.

It's been lackluster this week for writing progress.
I did get around to reading some of my Wolverine comics though.

Favorite holiday
I prefer Thanksgiving. Less hell all around. Christmas used to be my favorite. Working in a grocery store deli doesn't help either. Prepping for catering orders is horrendous. Literally drains the joy.

Preferred type of elves
My bias leans towards the elves of D&D. It is what I am most familiar with and the elven characters I have in most WIPs are based off of those.

Lows of 2025
I didn't complete a single rough draft of any WIPs and didn't finish reading as much as I'd like.

But I had a huge win this year. I secured an editor for Mielea's Lost for next year. So, that balances out any rough spots this year. #writesky #fantasy #sci-fi

Made some progress on the second book in Mielea's Lost series.
The rest of the week was slowly straightening up as the holidays approach.
The slower approach is not stressing me out. Normally I just pack it in all one day. 😅

Bookish gift ideas
Giving them a gift card to their local bookstore. Then they can pick out there next read. It works out well, if you don't know their reading tastes.

Books you hope to read by the end of the year
With how much I have edited and reread Mielea's Lost this year, I've had a hard time wanting to read some days.
That being said I'm halfway through Wraith and the Revolution by @ajcalvin.bsky.social

Santa or Krampus?
For me, Santa.

My characters though, Jokull would want to meet Krampus so they could have a conversation.
Tezzy would think Santa would be a robber and likely kick his ass. He'd also likely attack Krampus for kidnapping kids. #fantasy #sci-fi #writesky

Would your characters be on the naughty or nice list?
Most characters in Mielea's Lost would be nice list, I think.
The villain Malcabe, his brother, and wife would all be on the naughty list.
For Project Phoenix- Tezzy won't believe in 'the list'. #writesky #booksky

So far this month I have wrote something every day. As it nears closer to the holidays I don't know if the streak will continue. Im enjoying it while it lasts. 😀
