So I just did a crazy thing and launched my author account over on instagram!

Debut Novel incoming

Time for a little more self promo here. I make stickers for writers and different fandoms - if you have suggestions, please let me know! https://www.redbubble.com/people/LaurensAnatomy/shop?asc=u #selfpromo #redbubble #stickers #author #PennedPossibilities #KnowYourAuthors

It’s been a while…
#KnowYourAuthors 9. Do you take breaks from your writing? Is it good for you?

Yes. i haven’t touched #hostiletakeover in 4 months. It is no good for me because i lose all muse and now im struggling to get back into it.

#KnowYourAuthors 8 (are there two of these a day, or did I just somehow get behind?): Do you write your entire piece and then edit, or go back and edit while you’re still writing?

Hybrid. I do a lot of as-it-goes editing, but I save the big edits for when the work is fully done. Otherwise, I'd spend too much time adjusting what I already wrote instead of writing.

#KnowYourAuthors 7 Do you most enjoy writing in past settings, modern day settings, or futuristic settings? When is your current WIP set?

I seem to have missed this one. My series spans three different timelines of a different world: Mage Era, Dragon Age, and Modern Era. Even the earliest is set far in our world's future.

#KnowYourAuthors 8 Do you write your entire piece and then edit, or go back and edit while you’re still writing?

My writing sessions start off with me reading at least one chapter back, sometimes more, to get back into the "zone," and I will edit at that time.

#KnowYourAuthors 8 Do you write your entire piece and then edit, or go back and edit while you’re still writing?

Minor editing as I go, or a paragraph rewrite while writing a scene. I haven't hit a situation where I've felt the need for any extensive re-writes after I've written a scene/stanza

Usually if I backtrack to edit, it's sharpen the existing tone/mood I put down.
Eg
[He didn’t even get the luxury of a scream.]
To
[We didn’t even give him the luxury of a scream.]

I felt it better set the tone for how Parthia goes from getting yanked around by external forces, to immediately push back and cede no more ground now that she has the means to do so.

#KnowYourAuthors 8. Do you write and then edit, or edit while writing?

Constantly editing all the time. It's a bad habit. I don't do big tear downs until a while after the first draft though.

#KnowYourAuthors 7 — Do you most enjoy writing in past settings, modern day settings, or futuristic settings? When is your current WIP set?

Time-y wime-y, wibbly wobbly, time is a soup.

Fantasy, with varying levels of "hightech" analogs.

Wytch-Fork for example, there's an array of prosthetics & mobility aids. What a person uses is up to /their/ comfort level and /their/ personal needs. #Disability is a normal aspect of life, and not something people are forced to compensate against to be a speciously idealistic "productive member of society"

Aye, I know I'm a bit off on a tangent.

And I will 100% own that in Wytch-Fork I frequently make commentary on IRL society's screwed-up priorities and perforative compassion by contrasting with a world where genuine compassion and respect is the dominant shared cultural trait.

It's not a utopia.
It just isn't an inhumane place slowly choking itself to death.
