My For Serious account for writing things. At some point, there will probably be cats.
I'm currently juggling two WIPs...!

#DeckTheHalls Well, that would have to be Ollie, embarking on a journey he never expected. Taking a leap of faith without really knowing where he was going to land.
Reversed: Anxiety for sure, and some naivety, too, certainly.

#DeckTheHalls, a new prompt game!
One day, I plan to have a custom illustrated Tarot deck as merch. So, tell us how your characters match up!
Today's card is: THE FOOL
What character of yours would you put on it and how do they fit the meanings?

#WIPWednesday ah hahaha.... three right now. And one of them was supposed to be a short "concept chapter" to flesh out a character more, but whoops, 90k words later........ 👀
WIP Wednesday honesty hour: how many works-in-progress are you juggling right now? This is a zero-judgment zone — embrace the chaos. 💜📚

#AwsomeCharacters Ollie was stranded in a parking lot looking at his car engine. Vince walked up on him, curious about what was going on with the car, too.
At first, Ollie thought Vince was just "some weird guy." He had no idea this weird guy was going to be the catalyst that changed his life lol.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Tell me a bit about the first time your character met someone important to them.
This could be a close friend, love interest, mentor, etc.
Did they like each other right away? Did they warm over time?

After metaphorically comparing yet another character to an animal, I realize that I am not writing a story about two gays swindling CEOs, I am writing a story about a zoo. 🐭🦚🦭

#WeeknightWriters Excellent progress on a chapter today! I should be able to finish it tomorrow and roll right into the next chapter. After that chapter, I may have to take stock on what things happen in what order next. 😆

#AwesomeCharacters Vince always has his switchblade on him (and a pack of cigarettes and at least one lighter)
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What is something your character always carries with them?
In a purse, a bag, a secret pouch, a pocket?
Is there something they never travel without? Why?

Forget calling in sick. As an artist, we should be allowed to call in creative.
Sorry boss. Can't come in today. The muse has called me and I must listen.

#Lovember Vince's love language is gift giving, but in his own special way lol; e.g., Vince pickpockets a watch off an executive in an elevator, then gives the pickpocketed watch to Ollie.
He's just like "here, this'll look good with your suit 😀"
and Ollie's like "thanks, uh... ::keeps it?::"

#WeeknightWriters For me, writer's block means it's time for a brainstorming session. What gets the gears turning in my head are walks, long drives, or pacing in circles while talking to my cat. 😆
Q4: What advice would you give to someone dealing with writer’s block? #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

#Lovember Gonna go ahead and randomly answer one of these 😅
Ollie: His home-built computer, The Rig. Only the most pristine parts are permitted exclusive admission into The Rig. When he turns it on, it glows red and hums like a demon.
Vince: Poetry - Wadsworth, Byron, Frost, Donne, Keats. 🪶

Is there something your character (main or otherwise) deeply loves that isn't a person, animal, or other creature? A food, an object, a concept? 🤔
