I say "first draft" but it's the first draft after the act was fully outlined. In the past I've had several different attempts but each fell because I was too young and/or essentially failed to plan. This story has been in the works for 9 years. I'm not amazing, but I'm not new to writing.
A reminder that the purpose of a first draft is to exist; draft two is to make it readable, and further on is for quality. #writingcommunity #writersky

The name would predate the Bible if the Bible is a historical retelling, wouldn't it?
I never knew "Elizabeth" was a biblical name! 😮

I have a question for Romanians. What do you call your mothers? Was there a medieval/old-sounding equivalency like "Mother" in English? #writersearch #Romania #languagequestion #language

Just remembered that time I accidentally checked out erotica from the library without knowing it was erotica and then wondered why there was so much sex.

Decided to begin the Act 1 first draft of my #MedievalDrama. Despite the outline not being finished, I need to make sure the plot flows. Best way to do that is to actually write it.

New year, new goals!
Every year I create a goals list. I don't usually finish the list entirely, but it's always exciting to complete any.
This year one of my writing goals is to add (at the least) 20,000 words to my chapter outline. I'm currently at over 45K from last year. Let's double it?

Women in period pieces are always going on and on about how much they hate corsets. But it would probably be really fucking weird for them not to wear one.
Trying to think of the modern day equivalent. A girl who goes on and on about how miserable and uncomfortable underwear is?

Hi, I'm Reyna! Throughout the years I've written off and on, with the dream of being a published author. (I'll get there someday!) My main genre is what I'd call "historically inspired fantasy drama"; the characters live in made-up kingdoms, far in the past. It's different from historical romance.
