Working on a first novel - YA Fantasy romance about nerdy elves.

@TonjaMReynolds Only big and small pieces of paper. Also, the geography of my world is a fantasy version of the Valley I live in, so the map is overlayed with reality I am familiar with. In my first book, we never saw the village square, so now I need to construct it. And figure out what elven historical figure the statue depicts.
@TonjaMReynolds Good luck! I just did my first wide angle read through and made a list of things to do this morning. I am going to start by making a timeline and a map of the village square.
Update: This first video got 700 views which I think is pretty good.
People say that tiktok sells books, but it frightens me. I decided to post my first video this morning before an 8:30 work meeting so I wouldn't think too hard about it. #yaFantasy #creativity #amwriting #bookmarketing #writers
@crinolinerobot pretty blank books are always scary, but notebooks and sketchbooks are meant to be used.

Hi! I'm Jun Qi aka JQ, an illustrator and English-Mandarin bilingual storyteller from Singapore.

I'm working on some of my own books and am still trying to break into the children's book industry, so in the meantime I get by on savings from my past life as a full-time software dev & consultant, + part-time work as a software dev/architect.

The painting is me and some of my art from the past year. Nice to be part of a growing #KidLit community here!

@blueberry I have a weekend where the kids are away and my website finally got some attention.
@sinasdumpster Super cool. I think combos of buy and make are the best combos. My Jane Austen regency cosplay
@Paperbacks_n_Frybread I really liked First Comes Like by Alisha Rai
