#FirstDraftFall Both Arthur (the actual MC) and Cedric (the POV character) live together in an apartment in the capital of their kingdom. I wouldn't say it's a quiet life; Arthur is a consulting detective who takes cases no one else will touch (usually involving the bee-like zizzun). (1/2)

In addition to my #FirstDraftFall project, I'm tackling a couple short stories:

• "Umbra Mortis" is a sci-fi retelling of the "Godfather Death" fairy tale.

• "Smile" is a dark fantasy based on the Medusa myth.

Hannah lives in Minneapolis. I have an unhealthy obsession with putting my characters in this frigid state alongside me, albeit in smaller apartments. Mine in not the biggest as it is. 😅 #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

#FirstDraftFall

I am also making a timeloop romance webcomic called Once More With Love that I hope to release before the year ends!

#FirstDraftFall

A girl who was imprisoned in a foreign empire, gets a chance to destroy said empire.

#FirstDraftFall

Being able to see everyone's progress and cheering each other on!!!!

#FirstDraftFall

Mix of word count and time spent on it!

#FirstDraftFall

Fantasy my beloved 💜

#FirstDraftFall

An epic fantasy novel that I want to turn into a trilogy one day ^^

#FirstDraftFall

Alice is in prison at the beginning but she does manage to escape! Though the horrors remain

I'll be tracking wordcount for a bit, then probably pages as I do edits, then wordcount again. I didn't realize I was so far into draft 1 so this #FirstDraftFall may be 2nd Draft Fall for me. I have other projects to work on too that are 1st drafts tho. But this is the priority.

fantasy romance: the story starts post storming the castle and getting it back. Samira's staying at the Healing tents erected outside (and avoiding her friends).

fairy story: Kirpa has her own little nook in the fairy grove! she hates that she's alone!

Q6. The most recent publication I have is from the end of January, an Indian mythology inspired short story called Wreathed In Flame And Smoke - ko-fi.com/s/2277369c92 - and another short story called Defying Sky And Sea coming out at the end of the year! #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

Q5. (for the fantasy-esque romance):

How do you handle finding the person whose soulmark matches yours after yours has been ripped from you?

ft. soulmates are where the story starts, not where the story ends.

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

Q4. I'm excited to hopefully see the end in sight! #FirstDraftFall #WeekendWriters

Q3. Not in a quantifiable way, but in how close I get to a satisfactory ending for the stories! Except for the kids' story, which I will probably measure by chapters. #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

Q2: I think I answered this in the previous question lmao. Kids' story is very much a fairy story though magic is a part of the world rather than a tool for the characters. #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

Q1: I've got two romance novellettes that were meant to be short stories. One is with fantasy trappings while the other is contemporary, and from the POV of a third party to the main romance. And then I'm turning a bedtime story I used to tell my kids into a book! #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

Hi, I'm Ara, I have THREE drafts I want to try and finish but honestly I'll be happy just to make a dent in them. They are two romance novellettes and a children's story. We are a day into October and I've touched none of them yet.

#weeknightwriters #firstdraftfall historical, horror, and mystery (also Queer lol)
