If anyone can help 👀👇🏽
Hi #WritingCommunity

Do any of you serialize your own work on your site? I have questions about this & was hoping someone would be willing to answer a couple of questions. 🥺 Thanks in advance!

ICYMI, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this pre-made maps idea!
I know authors sometime buy premade book covers as an inexpensive option... Would folks be interested in pre-made fantasy and sci-fi maps? If so, how much would you be willing to pay?

Alternatively, if you want something made custom, I have commissions open! (No AI) www.adamcbassett.com/map-design

Day 14 of #FebruaryWorldbuilders!

Time (!) for my briefest response to one of these prompts ever. 😂😬

Day 13 of #FebruaryWorldbuilders! (Catchup)

Ícalarans don't have any sure-fire scientific evidence of the origin of their mysterious tuya, but it's coming. (We even get a tiny hint of it in 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑙𝑒𝑠ℎ!)

There's origin stories, of course. For example...

[1/3]
#FebruaryWorldbuilders Is the origin of your world known? Is there a creation story? If you have nonphysical realms, were they also created at this time, or did they come about through some other means? What do your characters believe? Does the world's religion have any thoughts?

#HappyValentine'sDay, friends!

I've always thought of Valentine's Day and February in general as a celebration of love in all its myriad and beautiful forms, so thank you for being the awesome, talented, and supportive people in my computer. You rock! 💞

Demetre Basarab I (aka Demetre the Lich aka Demetre the Impaler).

Sadly no character art for her. I don’t think my usual Skyrim art captures how I picture her in my head. She doesn’t look undead I promise.

I still need to read through some of the OCs being posted, but the few I've seen look interesting even if they aren't matches. Gonna be adding some follows today!

In the meanwhile, let's put Kyle out there, even though he feels like he's taking up space where he shouldn't.

I'm not sure we are ready for Rachel, but she's impatient and I think I saw I good match already.

She has surprised me as one of my favorite and deepest characters, but today she just wants to hook up (and says she won't make it a competition but I have my doubts).😅

Here's Tara — she's such a fun character and I love writing her. You might have even seen some posts about her already if you follow me!

I didn't have any art of her (yet), so here's a moodboard instead.

A little help this Valentines day would be greatly appreciated. Aside from one store sale, it's been a dry month all around.
