Did I just come up with an idea for a super niche writingQ game?

That I may do in February because of aliteration?

And cuz that gives me time to refine the Qs and create the cards?

I already have 26 questions planned and organized.
🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I need a life, man...

How about a two for one? A description of the building and the spirit that represents it!

#WritingQ #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt
He'd wandered in front of the Green Dragon, a tavern set in the center of the park. It vied with several dozen other inns and taverns for the right to being "the oldest drinking hole in the Fifth Ring", but it had certainly been there a long time. For what he thought it worth, it was certainly one of the most beautifully placed. Dead in the center of the rolling hills of the park, the owners throughout the years had planted all manner of trees and shrubbery, all hung with multicolored light crystals of every size and hue imaginable. It made the humble building, with its dark river stone walls and peaked barrel tile roof, look to be in the middle of some enchanted glade instead of in the middle of the city. Ownership of the tavern had passed from generation to generation for so long it had gained a Local God of its own, their influence then spreading enough to take over the entire park, the name having been changed to Green Dragon Park centuries ago. That was who approached him now. The Green Dragon had found herself with an interesting confluence of traits. She had begun as a spirit, not a dragon, but since dragons were common enough and people knew enough about them, she had inherited many of their abilities. Like a Dragon she could assume the greater form of one, though now wore the one more like the other Alliance peoples, veridian scales shining off her arms and dotted through the rest of her skin. A slit up one side of the skirt of her low cut serving girl's attire showed off her scaled and clawed feet and calves. From around the back a thin serpentine tail trailed behind her, ending in a sharp point reminiscent of a cask tap. Even her hair was green, spilling over her shoulders in springy emerald curls. She beckoned Melic over, the warm light of the tavern behind her almost more inviting than she was.

Writers, do you know the title before you start writing?

Or do you finish the entire damn thing and then stare at “Untitled” like it has personally betrayed you?

I need to know which camp is winning.

I assume no one but me actually cares. Which makes it surprising when someone actually does take an interest and reads it.

Do you always imagine an audience for your work? Why or why not? I think about audience after I finish a story, otherwise, it distracts me too much #writingq #WritingCommunity

I don’t think of an audience beyond people who like what I like. Apparently this audience is much smaller than I first assumed. #writingq

Not a preexistent audience like 'romance readers' or 'fans of x', but I do write with prospective fans in mind who might comb through and like little details you'd only catch on repeat reads or after reading Book Five or whatever then coming back. I write with a 'cult fanbase' in mind.

#OctoberWorldbuilders, hello friends! Tell me about the flora and fauna in your desert. What lives there? Also, it doesn't strictly have to be "flora" or "fauna." If you've got something that defies these terms, but still count as living, by all means talk about them!

First it was the manuscript assessment teaching me how to write efficiently, how to satisfy readers and not me the writer, and how to handle criticism

Now the beta readers are teaching me my strengths and where the narrative is weaker
