Now that everything is settled with my current book, I’m diving right back into writing with a YA fantasy story about a young woman who can hear the song of gemstones and learns she can craft them into rings of power to save a dying world.

Got my book, Howls & Hope unloaded to KDP, just waiting for final approval & I’ll post the preorder link. Feels strange to finally be totally done with the writing/editing process for the book. It was a long journey from the first spark of the idea to the final story stage. Worth every step.

I've been editing my story, Howls & Hope, and I finally got to a chapter where I'm making major changes. I'm adding in a party scene where everyone is having a good time. In the next chapter, a whole lot of people are going to die, and I think this addition will make their deaths more poignant. #mywriting #mybook #amediting #writingcommunity #writersofmastodon #mastowriters #postapocalypticfiction

Just finished the first draft of my post-apocalyptic contemporary fantasy, Howls & Hope. It's currently clocked in at 70k words. I'll soon be getting deep in the weeds on editing this bad boy.

Been busy writing my post-apocalyptic contemporary fantasy story. I’m at chapter twenty and 56k words into the story. I’m at the part where two lovers who’ve been separated from the beginning are finally reunited. I’m trying to figure out how to do it in an interesting way and then I’ll be working towards the final conflict with the bad guy.

The eternal #horror question:

Do I go for mass appeal, or go truly fucked?

What's bothering me about flash fiction I'm reading now is that it's a genre that seems so devoted to authenticity that it keeps, unknowingly, proving that authenticity is a myth.

Finally got back to my story for Lofty Mountains today, and added 1010 words in a new opening scene to set things up better. Now to edit the rest! #4thewords #amwritingscifi #editing
