A fantasy writer with lots of love for character-driven epics.
@araguilar.bsky.social@araguilar.bsky.socialCongrats!
@araguilar.bsky.socialSounds like you ended up with a steamy scene instead.
@araguilar.bsky.socialHah, yes, that does sound painfully familiar.
@araguilar.bsky.socialKJ! Such chill vibes. Love hearing how much work you're putting into your novel.
@araguilar.bsky.socialI can see the end of Part 3 of this novel coming together. Yes, I still have Part 4 ahead, but that Part is for future Adam. Current Adam is keyed into these last four chapters of Part 3.
@araguilar.bsky.socialAwww, thanks so much! I had a great time getting to know my cabinmates this year. I hope as many as possible continue to keep in touch.
@araguilar.bsky.socialSpecial thanks to our counselor @goodwords.bsky.social for keeping our cabin involved.
Thanks to all my cabinmates, with a shoutout to @salazar-ro.bsky.social @lnloft.bsky.social @brookbwrites.bsky.social for swaps. I look forward to reading more from you all.
@araguilar.bsky.socialI've perhaps taken it too heart too much at times having rewritten entire novels multiple times at this point. Practice makes perfect though!
@araguilar.bsky.socialI'll go with, which bit of writing advice has stuck with me most?
Answer: Writing is rewriting.
There's a reason writing is done in drafts. You can't--and won't--get everything right on the first go-through. Like with everything, writing improves bit-by-bit.
@araguilar.bsky.socialGreat prompts all camp Iris. I like how this one gives off a choose-your-own-adventure vibe.

I desperately want to post my answer to a similar question from last year. But I'll go with this instead.

@araguilar.bsky.socialMy current WIP has weird inky monstrosities, but my previous novel was based on Greek mythology and had a few riffs on creatures like a chimera and Cerberus. I also love zombie stories, especially when a novel can utilize the undead in new ways.
@araguilar.bsky.socialDRAGONS!!!

@araguilar.bsky.socialThat's awesome! Reminds me of a D&D Monster Manual.
@araguilar.bsky.socialCan't go wrong with dragons, and Alebrijes are a unique mention. Cool to see an underrepresented creature popping up.
@araguilar.bsky.socialWerewolves? #CRPCabinRaids was a few days back but I'm sure #CRPDirewolves would approve of this answer. Me too, lycanthropes are awesome!

@araguilar.bsky.social100% agreed. It's always comforting to know someone has your back.
@araguilar.bsky.socialI do the same as a few cabinmates have already said: get outside for a walk to give myself time to think. I also bounce ideas off my wonderful wife who's kind enough to read everything I write and help me brainstorm.
@araguilar.bsky.socialI'm not a runner, but 100% getting outside and away from the computer itself works wonders. Just free time to think without the distractions right there at hand.
