I'm curious. Would you say you write more literary in style then?

I'm firmly commersial and don't have a literay bone in me, it seems. Explosions, ususally someone dies, banter, lots of running and fighting all a la Marvel Universe-esque.
I'm in awe of literary writers. Such lovely words!!!! 🥹

For real! 😆 Flawless white teeth are infinitely more disturbing.

Bonus: I usually get glimpses of a scene. Usually like a still frame, sometimes a quick series of events. All random. Could come from a song, movie, a conversation, someone cutting me off in traffic.. then, boom! Idea.
Wish I remebered my dreams long enough to document them.

HS was actually inspired by Fourth Wing and my love of cult classics (Pacific Rim / Reign of Fire). Had the whole "what if" thing and wanted to know what would happen if I leaned more into a Sci-Fi world with fighter jets and cool Mech tech, but also dragons.
Et voila!

Well, isn't this the thing of nightmares. LOLLLLL

Here's my take on it. And, I may just have to keep a version of this... 😏

That would be my FMC's bestie, Dion, or her "Sister from another Mister" The gut checker, the living BS meter who will lay it out straight for my MC, even if she doesn't want to hear it. Love that about Dion. And my MC loves/hates it, too. 😆 #CRPWizardWasps

Central time zone here. Weekends are best for me since Day Job Life and Mom Life take over the weekdays, for the most part.

I’m not a fan of sharing my s’mores. Just sayin.
