Hi! I'm Marian Astra, a newly aspiring author, screenwriter, and director that you may recognize from some of my prior work, such as my short film last year, Dungeons In Dissociations. I'll be posting some of my writing here every week so stay tuned! #writingcommunity #writersky #writesky #amwriting
And finally we have my favorite character to write in my novel: the antagonist of the series! Raven Verron is the Undying King. He is also a half elf, a lich, and a champion of Deya'Ill, the god of Death. His quest: burn the living down. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky #ttrpg

Another poem from last week that I meant to post before today! This one I'm quite proud of, though it was written a month or so ago now. I have always loved the color gray, and its use in symbolism. This poem is an homage to nuance.

Another HeroForge mini made last week to represent a character from my novel! This one's of Elihan Willagrown, the king of the Gaelahan Enclave and father of the main characters. They will inherit from him, a legacy of war and inaction. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky #ttrpg

New poem from last week! This one refers to the feeling of having ones voice and identity repressed, and is written from the perspective of the silencer, to show how dangerous and cruel the rhetoric is, as well as double-edged.

One last mini of a character from my fantasy novel before the night's over! This one is of Mercia Willagrown, the mother of Beiro, Adran, and Rose - all of whom we have already made minis for! She also goes by the nickname "Mercy". #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky #ttrpg

New poem! This one reflects on the dangerous rhetoric often used against me and my community. It is written from the perspective of the metaphorical "witch hunter" in this case to show how awful and ridiculous their "witch hunt" is. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky #writersky #poetry #poem

Another mini, another character from my fantasy novel! This one is of Rose, the sister of Beiro & Adran who I made last time. Unlike her brothers, Rose is human and she doesn't grow up in the enclave. Can't say much more without spoiling! #writesky #writersky #writingcommunity #amwriting #ttrpg

Saved this poem to share today specifically! This one touches on one of my favorite topics, The Bystander Effect, and various deviations of it. As a bonus fact, the novel I've been working on also addresses this topic! #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky #writersky #poetry #poem

Me again, continuing with my new series where I make the characters of my book as minis in HeroForge. Last time we made the mc, Adran Willagrown II, and now I’ve made his twin brother (not identical), Beiro. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky #ttrpg

Sharing another poem this week! This one's inspired by my own life and experience, both as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and from living with an invisible disability. It utilizes my love for glass as a metaphorical device. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky

Thought it’d be fun to celebrate the first draft of my book this week, by making minis of all my characters over the the next few months as sort of a weekly series. To start off, here is Adran Willagrown II, our main protagonist in the book. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #writesky #ttrpg

New poem! Going to be posting 2-3 poems a week to share off some of my writing, and also to challenge myself this year to write more and write more poetry in general. This one is inspired by recent events and how the news impacted me.

Some of my favorite themes to write include those of duality, conflicting perspectives, muddled morality, mental health, the burdens of war & leadership, and having to reckon with the legacies we inherit. What are your favorites? #writingcommunity #writersky #writesky #amwriting #booksky
