A picture of the book cover for The Dragon's Emissary by Robin Arnette. At it's center are two figures the shorter one is Zelnor, a bearded character wearing shabby clothes with pointed ears, and the taller one is Erianna, a blue woman with purple hair, elf ears, fitted leather armor, a blue dress and a backpack. They are standing in a cave with a small pool in front of them. Zelnor is looking grumpily at Erianna while accidentally casting a fire spell. There is a ring of dots around his waist. Erianna has her elbow resting on his head and is shooting him a flirty, bemused look. The title, The Dragon's Emissary, is written in shiny gold across the top. An opalescent swirl is behind it. At the bottom is the author's name: Robin Arnette. Beneath that is another opalescent swirl around the number 1 (indicating this is the first book in a series). The series title, Legend of the Fragmentum, is beneath that, written in gold.

So, like B1 Blake doesn't want to do anything, so Ren has this down to a fine art.

Blake doesn't want to get out of bed? Force him out of bed by pulling the blanket out from under him until he falls on the (pillow-covered) floor. Blake was too lazy to get under the covers

What tempts your character?

If you had to convince them to do something they didn't really want to do, like getting a dog to take a bath using cheese, what would you use?

Would it be cheese?

I'm a plantser!

For my historical novels, I need to plot more, need to know how I'll wave my story around the known facts.

For fantasy and dystopia, I can go wild and explore more while write. But at some point, I need to know where I'm heading, or it becomes a pain.

#QueerPrompts 1: I'm an aroace agender amateur writer who writes sci-fi and fantasy featuring queer characters, often involving time travel. I have three WIPs at the moment:
-The Dragonblood (portal fantasy)
-In Reverse (time travel action romance)
-utopian hard sci-fi story that really needs a name

Happy Halloween, y'all!
It's been a productive writing month! I *finally* wrapped up #Shield&Scalpel - it's waiting on some final read-through edits, but I'm letting it rest for a bit on my end. I also finished plotting the sequel, #ChefsKiss & started writing it! Wheee!

Thanks for another month of prompts! I'll be sad to see the spooky season go, but everyone needs a break every now and then; so my working on #WitchChild is also coincidentally taking a break before editing begins! 🥰

29. Do you enjoy writing villains?

Yes, I do. I think it's important for villains to reflect real-world evils, and they can do that while still being scary and satisfying for the story, too. I like rounding them out as characters so they're not just mustache-twirling cartoons.

Day 29:

Taiga: failing his people's mission.

Mouse: losing his family.

Ellio: losing Jule.

Jule: never uncovering what happened to she and Ellio's parents.

Azhar: her nightmares exist everywhere, and will be forgotten the moment they're remembered.
