Lilian Willow wanted nothing more than to lie in the snow. Yet still, she trudged through the frozen wastes, trying to finish these last few jobs. But a chance encounter with a young man rekindles her flame. She wasn't weak; she could do this—just one more job.

Posting something new to the website in a couple of days! Look out for a New Series:
Anatomy of Every Breath: A Monster Manual for Executioner's Liar!
I'll be going over certain monsters and making scenes involving them. Sometimes, our favorite MC will be there, and sometimes a stranger!

I'm on break at work, eating some lasagna for lunch and trying to think of what to write next.

Hello #writingcommunity! It's good to be back, so let's start off with a nice and easy #writingq for the #QOTD!
What is your #OC 's favorite snack?
For Lilian Willow, she loves anything sweet, but some nights she makes a bag of these small white cherry hard candies that her mother used to make.

While gone, I ended up not writing much of the sequel to Storm Bringer's Folly; I did, however, start a new #fanfic cause I was bored called Naruto: Press Start To Begin. It's 10 chapters so far and is at 50k words. 2 weeks and 50k words if only I could write my book like that.

When you put your #fantasylit #WIP to the side and instead write 20k words of a #fanfic in a week just because the story's been in your head for years at this point.

Lilian has red hair. I mostly did it for esthetics, but it also goes well with her fiery rage and personality.

Hello, my beautiful #writingcommunity friends! Here's my #writingq of the day! It's a nice and simple one. Who or what inspired you to write?
For me it was actually the Final Fantasy video games. I wanted to write so that I could eventually work on one myself.
So let me know why your write!

I think I'm going to add another chapter into Fallen Heroes to better show off Lizabeta's skills. I think I'll have Mikhail put her on a path, lute some monsters to specific points, and have her clear them out while trying to reach him.

Here's today's #writingq for the #writingcommunity! Is there a reason your MC has a specific hair color besides genetics? Does it symbolize anything, or is it just because it looks cool?

Today's #writingq focus on your #oc. Who is your protagonist's mirror in your story? Is it their rival? Their antagonist? Is it a random side character who happens to cross paths with the MC? Tell me my fellow #writingcommunity members. Especially those in the #fantasylit category!

You ever write something down really fast on your phone for notes or a scene and you come back to it a few days later only to not remember what you said and half the words have been autocorrected into something else entirely?

I love my phone, it's great to take down notes and scenes that pop into my head as I go through the day. But man I type too fast and autocorrect sucks

Still one of my favorite scenes that I've written. This is much later in the series, around the second half of the story, and with all the context it's a powerful scene.

Today's #writingq #qotd is a #worldbuilding question! Does your world use irl money or some other type?
In Executioners Liar, many places use different coins or other avenues of trade, but a majority also use gold, silver, and copper.

Good morning! My #WritingCommunity friends! Today's #writingq is a fun one! If your MC could partner up with any character in any other story, who would they partner up with and why? Would it be to solve a mystery? Save the world? The universe? Just to be friends?
