My writing companion decided today was not going to be a day for story fun.
Workmen making loud noises in the scary room (bathroom) were far more important!

I've been thinking about stories that have inspired me this week.
The first fantasy stories I discovered for myself were by @tamorapierce.bsky.social - The Circle of Magic and the Song of The Lioness series.
They lit the first sparks of Magic in me ✨️

A day late, oops!
This week I'm focusing on my characters - who are they, what kind of magic do they have, how will they use it, etc?
I'm really enjoying digging in to who they are!

Ask the Agent Question of the Day: Can you explain the “Anti-AI” clauses that should be in agency agreements and publishing contracts?
Well, I can try. Sorry, it’s long! (This is as succinct a summation as I can give of years worth of work and 100s of documents!)

When working on ideas & pre-writing/planning things, I need silence.
But when I'm actually drafting, I can't focus without music. Nothing with lyrics, usually an ambient soundtrack or something.
Anyone else need silence, or certain kinds of sounds to write?
