Save the Cat Writes a Novel (and the original one meant for screenwriters) was incredibly helpful for finding a system for planning my writing. Taking creative writing workshops helped a good bit too.

Last read: Don’t Let the Forest In by C.G Drews. Can’t recommend this book enough and I can’t wait to get my hands on their other work🖤
Current read: A Children’s Bible by Lydia Millet. It’s definitely interesting. Haven’t read anything like it before.
Next read: Haven’t decided yet.

Day 4: I mainly enjoy other YA fantasy writers and draw inspiration from them. Especially people who can remember the lore for 10+ book series because I do good to keep 2.5 straight 🫠

Hi, for any new folks, I’m Allyson McCollum, author of “Mors Obliviscens”. I’m currently working on its sequel and a companion novella.
I started writing stories as soon as I learned to read and write as a kid.

The whole point of art - of any kind - is making it yourself. Putting a little piece of yourself into something beyond yourself. If you can’t be bothered to put in the effort to create it, why should anyone put out the effort to consume it? 🤷🏻♀️ #sorrynotsorry #antiai #antiaiart #booksky💙📚

Flit’s definitely tougher than me though, no contest 🤣 I don’t go around fighting things two feet taller than me that also have super powers 🤷🏻♀️ #morsobliviscens #vitapersequens #ghosts #booksky💙📚#indieauthors

Throwing salt at Flit would just make her madder than she already was, and I’m not crazy enough to even think about swinging at Grim or any of the other entities. Would I like to knock some of them upside the head? Absolutely. Would I survive? No because I can’t outrun them either 🤣 #booksky💙📚

I am secretly a possum, a raccoon, and a crow all piloting a trenchcoat together. Don’t tell anybody. They will take my trinkets. #books #specialeditionbooks #bookcovers #shiny #booksky📚💙

And now I’m going to spend the rest of the night writing (mostly 🤣) and working on some things for Fantasy Forge Book Con this November! Can’t believe it’s less than a month away now 👀 #booksky💙📚

Honestly shocked I didn’t get a total blackout on this one 🤣 I put the pro in procrastination. Guess I missed it because there aren’t blocks for “digging into your family tree for no particular reason” or “random home improvement projects you could do at literally any time” 🤷🏻♀️

Not telling the title of the third book in the trilogy yet though 😉 #interim is a companion #novella that will go with #vitapersequens that details what all the other Vessels are doing while Flit is handling the main #story with all her friends and enemies. #booksky💙📚 #👻📚

Definitely working on buying from more indie authors as well as POC authors and LGBTQIA+ authors too. Got any recs? I tend to read more fantasy than anything, but I’m open to other genres too. #booksky💙📚
