Forgot to post about Daphne's birthday yesterday! She's one of my younger characters and would be twenty-two now.

Quite a few character birthdays this month! Maybe I'll remember to actually do the posts this month.

While hitting a wall for my writing, I painted another section of my bookshelf.

Day 28- I'm currently writing it. One of my POV characters is a ballerina, and I am not. So I'm having trouble writing her do some ballet exercises because I don't know how it moves.

Is there a scene that you really struggled to write? Why?

Day 25 - Oh man, uh, I think the first thing that was written down was about me and my brother being pirates? Wish I still had that.

📚 #WritingLifeMonthly October Day 25📚

The first story I ever wrote, and still remember, I was about 12 or 13. It was a novel about a kid who was pulled into the screen of her computer game. I spent every lunch time for a year writing it.

Yours?

Day 22 - There's so many choices! I think the answer would have to be Crescent City because it's a modern-day fantasy city with little messenger otters. I love how SJM combined modern-day tech with magic.
Of course, as a human I might die but

I want to say "all of them" but I'm pretty sure I'd die on day one if most of them! Still, I'd love to vist Pern, and I'd move to The Shire in a second.

What about you?

Tropes you love (or love to hate)
Enemies to lovers?
Wise old mentor?
Suddenly beautiful without her glasses? (Okay, that one makes me 🤮 as an adult, but as a teen 😍)

Day 15 - The first one that popped into my head was when I kept typing Highness Highness instead of His Highness for some reason.
I'm sure there's worse ones I've done.

So, as someone with #dyslexia I can tell you I've made hundreds, possibly thousands of such mistakes. But one I made over and over again was writing "abortion" instead of "aboriginal" 😳

Dayv13 - The only one I can think of is how people think it's easy to write a full book, including editing it. I think I've been working on mine for about a year now, and I'm still at the beginning due to revisions, notes, planning, life, etc
#writinglifemonthly #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity
📚 #WritingLifeMonthly October Day 13 📚

I have two myths for this one
(1) Writing is easy
(2) Artists should work for love, not money

Oct 11 - Here's a look at the different tabs in my notes for my POV. I've recently condensed and reorganized them. The tab in the background are what characters are in each POV and whether they're mentioned or actually in the scene.

Day 10 - The hardest part is probably waiting for others to read my drafts and give me feedback. I understand it hasn't taken over their lives like it has mine, but I'm still an impatient child inside.

📚 #WritingLifeMonthly October Day 10 📚

As a #neurospicy author, I find sticking to one project is really challenging, especially if I'm in a hard slog phase that doesn't give me any dopamine.

Day 9 - My WIP honestly started as a fanfiction of a YA series I enjoyed when I was younger to try making it a bit more adult and fill out a lot of the empty plot points.
The series is The Selection by Kiera Cass

This one's not just a book you love, but one that makes you want to write. It could be fiction or non-fiction. What about it inspires you?

Oct 8 - Instead of dungeon, I went with palace because they typically have one!

Day 8 - With potentially 24 MCs, it'd take a while for me to pick one out for each. I do know one would have either Let it Go or a song similar to it as her theme song

Is there a song that instantly makes you think of your MC?
