She definitely is. Hehe, I might bring up my ideas on that topic eventually… I think it’ll be revealed close to the beginning of the story anyway, so it probably wouldn’t be too spoiler-y to talk about it. But this is all still mostly unplanned, so I’ll have to wait and see if I change my mind! 😅

I wrote a dragon age bard song just call me Maryden 😂
I am in so deep now I fear

What do you hear when no one's around you?
I want to know what puts light in your eyes
But you say that nothing's about you.
The world moves around you like ghosts in the night.

You're in the fire's ash
That warmed us through cold winter's darkness and pain.
Now a songbird echoes back.
You linger like petrichor after the rain.

Shadows are friends now that they contain you,
There to sow comfort when everything's wrong.
Still you say that nothing's about you.
Well too bad my friend because now there's a song.

Please don't wash away.
The hush of your voice is the wind in the leaves.
Our bond won't fade away
If you let me keep you in my memories.

All that you flew from needn't be frightful
If you can see it with light in your eyes
How can you say that nothing's about you?
You keep our hearts strong as we hold up the sky.

It's hard not to love! The depiction of female friendship is the special sauce for me.

And Sam, I think you'll appreciate the animation too, given your healthy enjoyment of cartoons, as far as I've deduced 😆

#PlotTober 8

The story is going to start off with Annie finding out that Miles cheated on Nadia (her bestie), so the goal of destroying him is entirely new. Plus, Annie might have a few personal reasons why this goal will be more difficult for her to achieve than she wants to believe.

8. What are some potential reasons the main character(s) haven't, couldn't, and/or can't pursue these goals yet? Consider other characters, backstory events, circumstances, environmental factors, etc.

Oh, Josh absolutely should not be pursuing his goals.

For one, he has very little idea what he is doing. He has never planned a murder before and has no special skills or competencies. So, he is figuring this out as he goes and could easily end up in jail. 🧵

One factor slowing Wren and Spencer down is that Magnus Var Krugan and his Blackboot allies are actively searching for necklace. They are having to move with stealth rather than speed as the Magnus is wealthy and has his own personal army. 🧵

So many fun elements at play! This book sounds like an awesome action-adventure fantasy movie I'd watch a hundred times in a row

The thing stopping Rose from making her mother proud is her current power levels.

The thing stopping Razor Lily from killing the Basilisk kaiju is her current power levels.

One isn't ready. One is past their prime. But the story doesn't care.

Happy #PlotTober 8!

In this third book, Edie wants to repair some relationships and continue to justify decisions she made in book 2. Those relationships are jeopardized by those decisions, so Edie has to navigate between what she and they want.
As for the recent Bludeye supernatural hijinks...

Poor Edie 🙁 Is she alone in all this, or does at least one of those relationships give her someone to confide in?

October 8 #WIPsnips – “dungeon”

No dungeons in this snippet from “This Ends Now,” but the dank cellar of Lainey’s worst memories is where she keeps thoughts of her first, worst love. She’s forbidden herself from peeking inside—only terrors dwell there. Handsome, rotten terrors named Gregory Shipp.
