#QueerWritersChat A2 Yearly plans

Immediately, I'm writing a sequel to a 2022 novel.

Because it's the Year of the Horse, I'm polishing, and publishing my Centaur series. Been getting lots of signs recently to finish, so I'm going to pay attention. The focus couples are MF, QueerMF, MM, and FF.

Michael hoped to find Emma at her flat.

#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: Emma’s phone lay on the island, next to her lehrab plant in its milky blue pot—the only plant in the flat. I pressed my palm against the scratched screen, but it remained dark and unresponsive, and didn’t even show a holo-message. That explained why she hadn’t answered.

Lurwick is not the place to be. At least, not for Lillian.

Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: I grabbed my phone and searched for the coordinates. It didn’t take long to find them. Onster in Tennek County. Less than an hour from Lurwick. I didn’t like how everything seemed to lead to Lurwick.

#WIPSnips: grand 🔄️ luxurious

When a house is not built for you.

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: Lessup and Firlenk had taste. Expensive, luxurious taste. From the sturdy, handcrafted furniture to the fractal holo art. The dappled orange and muted purple walls made the room feel like eternal sunset. Yet, something seemed off. With every step, every turn of my head, I wanted to reach for something to hold on to, wanted to press myself against the wall. Only when I braced myself on the ornate dinner table—solid craftsmanship, but pitched a key too low—did it dawn on me that everything in this room had been built with gnomes and dwarves in mind. Low furniture plus a standard-height ceiling equalled mind-fuck... and an iffy stomach.

#WIPSnips: cacophony (vibe)

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: Joyful laughter and cheerful chatter rose as more folks arrived. Families with children wearing shirts with holo-images of their favourite teams. Groups of adults, talking animatedly, trailed by teenagers with bags slung over their shoulders. I held my breath, but none of them showed any resemblance to Jesper, with or without Rakkel jackets. What if he’d had a tournament today? Bitterroot clung to my teeth at the thought of his school playing without him. I turned away, but it was no use. No matter where I looked, there were more teenagers. Grinning. Chatting. Dragging up memories until I couldn’t swallow without tasting that acrid bitterness. I was exhausted when the doors finally closed, and the street became empty once more. And I’d left my calming drops in my bag.

I swear I did not plan to release a series about political unrest in times of actual unrest. But here we are. If you want unexpected resonance in your reading...

#WIPSnips: humid

I was sure I had humid in this manuscript... turns out, I don't.
So, damp it is :)

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden I brushed my fingers along the lehrab’s stem. Guilt gnawed at me every time I made her the vocal inhibitor potion—for taking away her singing voice. Even if the alternatives were worse. The soil was damp, but the poor thing was down to a handful of leaves. Emma rarely cut it back this much.

How Michael sees Lillian.

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
A quote from "The Songs We Owe" by Blaine D. Arden: It gave me time to gather my thoughts and reconcile Lillian with the Lily I knew, the Lily I hated. The reckless rocker who’d hidden her heritage with mods I could always see through. Same face—older, rounder—same braided faux hawk modded with trans colours, same flowy tunics. Same deadly voice. But she’d stopped hiding, had let her horns grow out—long, black, and ribbed—and her energy seemed more settled, calmer. The Lily who’d sacrificed her freedom to save Emma.

The only place Lillian is allowed to sing.

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: Spread out across the small venue, our audience waited with clenched hands, bouncing knees, and restless expressions. A few leaned forward as if bracing themselves while the musicians prepped their instruments. I stepped up to the mic, the cool metal soothing against my sweaty palm, counting breaths until the lights dimmed. My first notes rumbled across the floor, vibrated up the walls, and washed over the patients in gentle, healing waves, bolstered by the wards. The acoustics were a sound-engineer’s dream, wrapped in sterile shades of neutral.

Lillian suggested to just try the lock. Michael thought it couldn't be that easy...

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: I bent my knees, let out a breath, and pressed my palm against the lock. An impenetrable, unreadable resistance pushed against me like a thick stone wall, far more intricate than a basic ward. It didn't jab or repel with instant denial, but thrummed and rippled against my skin. I held my breath. Seconds crawled by until a familiar vibrant sensation washed over me—sunshine and Emma's smile—and the wards let me in. The door whooshed open into a lavish hallway with a low, intricately carved bench on the left, beneath a high-tech, shimmering mirror, and a floating step on the right. "I can't believe that worked." I activated the gloves. "The wards were mostly unreadable, but I sensed Emma's presence in them."

Michael's POV.

(quote in image and alt-text)
#TheSongsWeOwe #QueerMF #TransMC
Quote from The Songs We Owe by Blaine D. Arden: Towering trees lined the meandering streets and framed sleek, modern cottages in all shapes and sizes. We stopped in front of a two-storey with a double hovercart bay—empty. Its windows shimmered with the latest sun-protection technology, set to opaque, so we couldn't see inside. How had Emma even found this?
