34, a jack of trades attempting to be a writer, might be some nsfw talk so you've been warned
Another thing ive been quietly pulling ny hair out about is cover art. I've had so many ideas from different types of covers there are that I was at a stand still. Readers shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the cover could be what makes them pick it up in the first place.

Something ive been thinking about after I read, reread, and edit is, at some point, id like to have the series im writing published so I can have physical copies on my shelf that I can look at and be proud of.

I was lucky enough to meet up with a friend today for a little bit and they let me gush about what I have planned for this upcoming book. I got that fix it was looking for while I take a break, but soon ill be able to dive back in

Writing withdrawal is absolutely a thing. Anyone that says otherwise are lying. I told myself to read a couple books before jumping into my writing again and its become hell. Taking a break to make sure I dont burnout only to have nothing but ideas on my mind is torture.

Thinking about how in supernatural books a couple can have an age gap thats well beyond what it should. My two MCs have this gap as well, but theres no Sage advice brought on from the years of life. Sorry Grey, your wolf bf has dog brain and rather lay with you than try to remember helpful things

Are people interested in books that are just short stories of characters from a main series? Ive had an idea to write short stories about the lives of characters in my books that happen outside of the main plot or didnt fit in the flow well. So I can give more life to them.

Merry Christmas everyone! I threw together a small picture of the two main characters of TGMAM wishing you well. Eventually I'll try to get a more accurate visual of them, but until then, enjoy the good boys the cleanest they've been in a while (they live on a mountain, dirt and twigs everywhere)

Because I prefer to come up with my own lore when writing. My werewolves priorities differ to what people might expect. Instead of worrying about who they might hurt, Grey, the MC of the series, is upset he cant wear pants or clothes. Not that the other wolf, Malik, really minds.

Plotting out my next book. Unlike the two before it, where the characters had places to go or things to do with a clear objective, this one thrusts an entire group into a situation they werent prepared for without a clear way forward. Its different and I want my writing to carry the slow bits

We can all agree that werewolves are better with tails, yes? Like, there's no contest that they're better when they can wag.

Me, finished the draft for my second book: now i can relax, read a backlog of books, and start editing after writing fatigue wears off.
My brain: now fix and update the lore, draft up book 3s plot, come up with more mini stories you want to do, start writing book 3 while editing book 2, no rest!

I used to write down characters like a list of features that piled together into a person. Thankfully, I found Heroforge years ago and have been making visual representations of them ever since. Is it perfect? No, there's always room for improvement, but it's so much nicer when I can see them.

Writing down and cementing lore for my books is both fun and infuriating. I really enjoy making original lore for a well known thing, but then I forget to write down everything I think of. It's a real "how did I forget that?!" moment. It happens way too often for how much I like to talk about it...

Just saw zootopia 2. It was a cute and fun movie with nods to other movies. If you decide to watch be sure to stay to the end for an extra scene!

Breaking up my attention by having multiple projects going at once is a double edged sword. Got lore to write, yarn to crochet, games to play, a cat that wants to be loved on, and its that time of year for baking.

Question for anyone that comes across this. What are some clichés for horror creatures or people in those stories that drive you up the wall? My biggest one is when people act like they've never heard of what theyre dealing with. Zombie scenarios are big culprits of this. Head shots people!

One of my favorite things to do while writing is taking all the lore and whatnot on a creature and throwing it in a bin. I dont want to rehash the same things, I want to come up with something new to make it more fun for readers that might've already read about them before.

Werewolves are a mixed bag of strange and fascinating ideas. Sometimes, they hit all the right buttons to become an enjoyable read or watch, while other times you question what their plan was from the start or they don't show enough of the wolves to really entertain us.

So about my little writing project. Its about werewolves! With all kinds of people smack dab in the middle of a train wreck of a situation where nothing comes easy (but theres no fun for a story without a little conflict)

So now I found myself in a strange position with my new writing adventure. For the first time in a long time I've fallen in love with my characters. Grey and Malik are the goodess boys.

To start, I've been writing for years, I've never published anything because I have a bad habit of not thinking I'm good enough, then finding a shiny object and abandoning the project all together. I'm sure it's more relatable than it should be. Definitely not a habit easy to break.

Decided to use my account for more than just lurking. At the very least put out my thoughts and see what happens.
