I've decided that I'm gonna try reading at night to avoid being on my phone before bed.

First up: The Warm Machine by @aimeecozza.com !! Very excited to dig into this and make use of the super neat bookmark!! 🤖

Another character mood board! This one is for Athena, the true Main Character. My whole novel revolves around her.

She's a robot, but also so much more.
3 x 3 image mood board. Top left is an outstretched hand in blue light on a black background. Top middle is a blue human face with light thin white lines against a black background. Top right is a silver mannequin torso with a smooth robotic head. Middle left is a glowing finger print on a dark background. Middle center is yellow neon reading "Do not trust robots." Middle right is some fun glowing dots and lines. Bottom left is more mannequin torsos, these ones plain white. Bottom Middle is a person standing on a light up bridge of sorts. Bottom right is a robot hand reaching up on a pale blue background.

I'm back on my moodboard kick and decided to start making one for each of my main characters.

Up first: Ren "Lucky" Ward

What do you think Lucky is like based off this board?
Moodboard of nine square images. Top left is a dark starlit sky. Top middle is a green succulent on a black background. Top right is a neon sign saying "level up." Middle left is a purple triangular hallway lit up with neon purple. Center is a person shaking their head, blue and red light, person looking blurry. Middle right is a neon lit hallway with posters. Bottom right is a red neon sign saying "game on." Bottom middle is green glass in a fractal pattern. Bottom right is a neon array reading "human, need, dream, hope, desire, human."

I don't care if it isn't accurate!! Space travel is wacky!!
Screenshot from my WIP sci-fi novel. It reads, The world swooped and Lucky’s abdomen clenched as Erryn swung the ship upwards and began their ascent out of Doria’s atmosphere. The cabin vibrated with turbulence as they fought against air resistance until the atmosphere thinned out and faded away to the smooth vacuum of space. Once the planet was far enough away, Erryn would engage the hyperdrive and jump into a wormhole, folding the very fabric of space around them until they ended up at Orthrus. Lucky watched, entranced as always, as the black void of space around them shifted and lit up with the near-blinding light of countless stars suddenly rushing past them. Outside the windows of their jumper, the view turned white-blue and filled the ship with light before the glass tinted to adjust. Lucky blinked the spots out of his vision then settled in to watch the trails of light rush past them.

First attempt at junk journaling to make visual inspo pages for my novel! This is Lucky's page and I used fabric, paper, rhinestones, 3d ribbon, 3d stickers, marker swatches, and some basic notes.

I really liked making this and picking out fabrics. Definitely gonna make more pages.
Junk journal page for a character named Ren "Lucky" Ward in the sci-fi novel I'm working on. It features different color swatches of fabric, paper, rhinestones, 3d ribbon, 3d stickers, marker swatches, and some basic notes. The main colors are black, green, and purple.
