Does that mean it will be easy? Heck no. But hope is always worth fighting for. At the very least, it is a character's greatest act of defiance in a world that tries to stamp it out.

I lean heavily on making the town of Bludeye Beach feel like its own character in my book of the same name. What are some of your favorite examples of using location as character?

An endless war. An endless invasion. She knows why she is there, but there is something she's forgetting. In a battle against time, what is the first to go? And what is the first to come back?

I'm trying something to help me build the tone of my writing for The Eye of Destiny 2. I've written about 6 short bursts and I'm working on how to write two new characters that'll join the protagonist on this new adventure. If prompted, I could show one here! #booksky #indiewriting #tryingagain

Iona is always one to ride the line between cheeky and insubordinate 🤭

A #snippet from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions
#BookSky #WriteSky #WIP
Text is surrounded by border of small squares with art done in dark brown and white. Figures depicted include: a mythical parrot, a white flower, a nereid, a sphinx, a harpy, a cherub, a sparm whale, a cat on a ship's deck, a mermaid, a dragon flying over islands, a hippocampus, a seagull, a satyr, a dryad. The text: Iona leaned on the desk, her fingers steepled before her, hands punctuating every sentence with a shallow chop. "Kalli. You have one life, probably already half lived at your age. Please, for your sake, and for the sake of everyone on this ship: just tell the good doctor you want to suck her toes already, and be done with it." Kallista restrained the cry of outrage behind her closed lips, and let fly with a kick aimed at Iona's knees under the desk. Iona dodged, and Kallista's booted toes hit the underside of her desk hard enough to make her eyes water. Her treacherous best friend burst into laughter so hard she had to walk away and double over. When she came back, she too was dabbing at tears. A snippet from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen by Kara Moon

WRONG ANSWERS ONLY:
Based on the title and how the last book ended, what do you think will happen in "Blanc LaBelle and the Innocent Vampire"? #IndieBooks #WrongAnswersOnly #IndieWriting #indieurbanfantasy #sequelbook
A red background with a yellow symbol (the triangle, square, and circle with two dots opposite each other on the sides of the circle). There's a dotted texture just to the upper left of the symbol.
