The one major rule in the Nequinum world is never, ever eat the flesh of talking animals. It's tantamount to cannibalism

@bumblebigirl.bsky.socialSomeone compared it to Catcher in the Rye and, like, wow, I've never even read Catcher in the Rye

@norashear.bsky.socialFor No Sky Like Midnight, the premise of "ppl being hunted & not knowing why" lends itself to suspense. Tension builds as the MCs unravel clue upon clue as to why they're being targeted.
Also? An inexorable monster helps.

My current WIP's suspense is limited to "how/when will this MC snog that one?"
BUT
the WIP I'll return to, StS, is putting the MC in unprecedented control over her own life and the external plot. How will she handle each one?

@verosthewriter.bsky.socialOne reader told me that I depicted social anxiety in a very accurate and relatable way. Another told me that a sex scene I wrote would have made her think it was written by a woman if she hadn't known it was me.
@norashear.bsky.socialThis #writingq is a great one!
No Dream: Viyana is "Run away from ppl" vs "Trust"; Cory is "I don't deserve anything" vs "I deserve better."
No Sky: Paige is "No one likes me" vs "I am loved"; Leo is "I want to be alone" vs "I crave companionship."
@elwolfsblood.bsky.socialThirsty Thursday!
Your characters are getting lit at work. What kind of mixed drink are they drinking and how are they hiding it from their bosses? Or are their bosses joining in?
@susansavagelee.bsky.socialWhat’s a compliment about your writing that surprised you? #writingq #WritingCommunity
@hrcollins.bsky.socialVince: "I should not attempt to steal that thing." / "But it's right there... and no one is looking."
Ollie: "I should finally learn to cook real food." / "But ramen is so good (esp with a boiled egg in it)..."
They both often end up with the "No, no... he's got a point" outcome. 😆

If my MC was a good/morally average person, they would only want knowledge of themselves & power over their own lives. Theirs is a journey of identity, individuation & security. & technically speaking, knowledge is power.

@scarletvmitchell.bsky.socialThursday #writingq
Angel/devil
What is your character's most common internal conflict? What do the angel and devil on their shoulder argue about the most on a day-to-day basis?
What little impulses drive their most normal behavioral choices?
Which wins most?
@maruthauthor.bsky.socialWriting action packed sequences gets me lost.
