I just finished "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. If you love the vibes of Dracula and The Corpse Bride and the family tension of Wuthering Heights, I'd recommend this book though content warnings for racism, sexual assault, and incest.

Just finished “An Ember in the Ashes” series by Sabaa Tahir. I’d recommend if you like epic fantasy, political intrigue, and war-time settings!

Day 30: Marketing is the thing I'm the absolute worst at. Unfortunately, I have no tips regarding that but if anyone wants to share tips with me, I wouldn't mind!

I left Repticon with a jumping spider and a tarantula. My spouse is dismayed. Anyway, I won’t post pics of my new pets in case of phobias but here’s the jumping spider enclosure I set up before putting him in there (no spider in the photo)

Day 27: I'm thankful for the true friends that I have, the partner that supports me, and the home that we've made
Day 28: I collect pins! Books and plushies too, I guess but we don't count those.
And now I'm caught up!

Day 25: I haven't drawn in a bit but here are a few older pieces I did
Day 26: I usually have a placeholder book title and write. If I come up with a title that feels natural, then that becomes the new placeholder. Repeat until I finish the book

Day 23: I don't really have any advice for dealing with imposter syndrome but if someone has advice for me, I too struggle with it.
Day 24: I don't listen to music when I write. I get distracted so I limit distractions and essentially write in silence.

Last night was the finale of the Vaesen campaign I was GMing and a player’s birthday party. I made my players crochet lindworm plushies as gifts relevant to the campaign session (lindworm babies hatching)!

Day 20: I honestly cannot tell you where I find inspiration. I'd just be going about my day and I'd have an idea out of nowhere.
Day 21: I don't watch a lot of shows or movies, but I've rewatched Aggretsuko a few times.

Day 18: One of my favorite characters I've created is a crazy professor that doesn't stop talking. It's always fun when I get to scenes with him in it!
Day 19: I think the most difficult part of writing for me is staying focused without getting distracted.

Day 16: I’m a pantser. I really tried to be a plotter but something about outlines make my characters and my brain take a hard left.
Day 17: My hobbies include reading and writing (of course), crochet, drawing, and tabletop RPGs!

Day 15: Frey’s carefully braided bun was now askew, draping over shoulder, braids coming undone in twisted curls and ringlets while other unruly strands stood straight up as if they were soldiers at attention.

Day 12:
Good advice - Write what you would pick up and read.
Bad advice I've recently encountered - Prologues and epilogues are never necessary (this really depends on the story, sorry)
Day 13: I mainly write in my little home office

Days 9, 10, & 11: My cutest bookshelf is the one in my office (pictured).
I don’t have a favorite line yet. I’m mostly still just trying to make the story make sense.
I read and write mostly fantasy and some sci-fi!

Day 8:
::Warden of stolen souls, give me your name.:: A voice like a wispy growl that could have been mistaken for the whistling of the wind if not for the clear words echoed in Frey’s head as the vague shape of a person flickered into view through the swirling dust winds.

Days 5 & 6: I’m currently reading the 2nd book of “An Ember in the Ashes” series by Sabaa Tahir.

Days 3 & 4: I don’t have a WIP playlist. I get too distracted (I’m one of those that read and write in silence).
Inspiring authors are always changing but my current favorites are Brandon Sanderson, Rachel Gillig, V.E. Schwab, M.A. Carrick, and S.A. Chakraborty
