One of my passions is language learning, and finally having the opportunity to write a language barrier into my story - along with all the frustrations and humor that comes with it - is so much fun.

Today's #WIPSnips is another look at Gwen's relationship with her mother... And her father. Short and sweet this time!

Today's #WIPSnips (Moon) is a recurring motif that I'm trying to work in whenever I can. Lots of symbolism I'm aiming for, but the plain beauty of the moon and associated nature is worth appreciating at face value, too!

Our introduction to Gwen's mother early in the story, as well as a demonstration of how invasive "the corporation's" infrastructure is...

Just found out that characters in my story are named very similarly to an extremely popular, very recent fantasy series that I have never read... Now I'm wrestling with the prospect of renaming them or letting it ride 😩

My FMC's relationship with her chosen sister is one of my favorites to write. It's such a fun dynamic to build on
The blood of the bond is thicker than the water of the womb!

The hardest part about working at a book store is constantly being distracted by hopes that I'll someday shelve my own book

I'm trying the tagless 3-person dialogue exercise (3 characters talk with no indicators to work out their voices) but as if a digital group chat. Not all that different, but kinda fun to learn which of my characters would use which emojis and why!

I've written one of my annoying personality traits into one of my characters: petty linguistic nitpicking (for example, finding "less vs. fewer" mistakes annoying). I was unsure about how it would read, but it actually gives me a nice belly laugh.

For other writers out there, how have you found success with beta readers? There are plenty of places findable online, but many of them seem... dubious at best. I'd love to do mutual feedback, but a lot of what I find seems a bit one-sided...

I'm still far from finishing my book's first draft, but I'm constantly thinking about publishing. It would be so cool to go traditional, but everything I hear tells me it's harder than ever before and that self-publishing is one's best bet 😵💫

Just passed the 10,000 word mark on my story. My flow improves more and more as I go, and it's getting a lot faster. I'm actually looking forward to going back, expanding, and editing!
Here's a snippet of my MC, Gwen, dealing with her heel.

I've recently started writing a book. Well, I've returned to it. I tried once many moons ago and ran out of steam before I even really started. I think my other creative endeavors have kind of given me a foundation of patience and grace for the process. It might suck now, but that's normal! #writing

One of my favorite things about game dev (or solo dev, at least) is that I don't need to worry about burning out on any one task
I can just... like... work on a different part of the game. It makes it very easy to give myself a fresh perspective as I loop around

Game dev has shown me that music, one of my favorite things, one of mankind's most precious means of expression and entertainment, is among the worst things ever
(I really love music; you musicians are on an elevated plane of existence I appreciate you so much)
