#LateNightWrite really making me work for it. But once I remembered the name there is one song.
Loretta (FMC) has one goal: one more day. No matter the cost. To me the song is about begging for just a little bit more time. So it fits.

#LateNightWrite I don't really make playlists but there is certainly a genre or sometimes just a band that I will listen to while I work.
#LateNightWrite Welcome back! I’m in a playlist mood tonight and about to make it everyone’s problem! Do you often make playlists for your WIPs or characters? (spoiler: if you don't, you're about to!)

Hey #LateNightWrite I'm Melissa. I'm no good at talking about myself, but who is? I write, play games and collect cephalopod stuffies.
My current WIP is a post-apoc adventure with a mechanic FMC (and her companion ferret name Sparkplug) who breaks a few people with a giant wrench.

Everyone should go buy trans books before I get disappeared for bringing up the Trust and Safety gooning incident.
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

You read a book about trans love and joy written by a trans author who actually cares about our community.

Well it took me 110 hours, but I finally got 100% completion in Silksong.
(The achievement at least, there's still other achievements I can chase if I feel like it)

This Silksong boss is making me take a break. Not because I'm mad. But because it's so high energy it's kinda overwhelming me.
The dress, the music, the dance of a fight. It's awesome.

Omg double jump finally! Now Silksong opens up a lot more.
Can't wait to talk openly about the game and not worry about spoilers. It's been such a great time so far.
And no I don't think mentioning double jump is a spoiler, nearly every Metroidvania has one.

There's a few more days to get in on this deal. If you're curious how this all works, here's some more info. At 1/2 off, you're paying $0.01/word, which is an absolute steal for an editor and formatter. If you book and pay the deposit before 9/1, I'll throw in the formatting for free (normally $50)!

Thanks for hosting as always Blackbird.
My debut novel, The Crystal Rook, is available for purchase. It's book one of a series, though has nothing to do with my current WIP (stand alone idea, you know how it is. You get ideas you just have to write).
Link is in my pinned post.

MC Loretta wishes a lot of things. The biggest thing is she's torn between regretting ever standing up to her father—which caused her to lose almost everything she'd grown up to enjoy—and at the same time wishing she'd done it sooner.

#LateNightWrite Is there anything your main characters personally regret but couldn’t have known to do differently at the time?

Umm, well seeing as civilization has all but collapsed and it's thanks in part to a lot of the same issues our current world faces I really hope they can be prevented.

I wish I'd been told that it's always going to start out rough. Even downright awful in many cases. And that it's okay to suck at first. That the initial achievement isn't acclaim, it's seeing the task through until you are happy with it.
