#FantasyIndiesJuly 14 #Writesky #WIP Its a coming-of-age tale, there's several lessons the MC learns over the course of her journey. Like you don't have to "fix" yourself in order to get the people (who rejected you) to accept you. Embrace who you are (a good lesson for queer/neurodivergent folk)

#FantasyIndiesJuly 10 One of WIP fantasy countries is the antagonistic nation of Magalote, headed by the elderly immortal Baalite (king) Dromb Culturally, Magalote is Ancient Rome, Biblical Philistine/Egypt/Babylon, Colonial/Antebellum/Jim Crow era & Trumpian America 🧵

#FantasyIndiesJuly 5 #writesky #writingprompts #writingprompt In the WIP of The Nequinum Gests, their most universal sport is Football (soccer in America). The sport dates back to the rl middle ages. When the countries of Nequinum are not at war, they play football as a substitute... Pt 1

#FantasyIndiesJuly 3 3 of my most hated villains/antagonists are modeled after real life vile people Dromb, the Baalite (Emperor) of Magalote, is a Trumpian caricature Adam Andrew Higgins (Jordan Peterson & Andrew Tate) Cassiopeia 'Cassy' Jules Rawlins (Rowling & Marion Zimmer Bradley)

#SummerOfStories #Writersky #Authorsky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity Since I'm a first time writer, this is how I start my first wip.

#FantasyIndiesJuly 2 #WritingCommunity #Writesky #Writersky My favorite WIP line is when the MC (Bethany) is reciting "The Stolen Child" poem to herself, as she gazes into the mirror, putting on her aunt's makeup. Beside the mirror is a photo of her aunt & her young, handsome beau.

#FantasyIndiesJuly 1 #WritingPrompt #Writesky #Writing #WritingPrompts #Writersky Hi, I'm Nectar Vam. I'm an AuDHD writer with a thousand wips, but my current (& first) wip is a coming-of-age portal fantasy that could be described as Labyrinth meets The Wild Swans (an Anderson fairy tale)

Or in less sexist comparisons, a toxic, possessive, bad-tempered boyfriend

#FantasyIndiesJune 25 #Wip #Writesky #WritingCommunity At the beginning, no. Bethany doesn't want to be responsible but eventually does as her story goes. Bethany wanted to remain in a state of perpetual childhood, even though she's 13.

#FantasyIndiesJune 24 #WritingPrompts #Writesky #Amwriting #Writing #Writersky Not a story, but a poem by WB Yeats-- The Stolen Child Bethany would recite like a prayer, as a wishful prayer, mainly the "Come away O human child" line. As she wishes she could escape the human world.

#FantasyIndiesJune 21 #Writing #Amwriting #WIP #Writesky For my wip of "The Nequinum Gests" the ultimate father figure is Amnos, the messianic savior, guardian, & high king. He's very similar to Aslan, with a touch of life/death/rebirth deity like Mithras, Persephone, Osiris, etc. 1/2

#FantasyIndiesJune 16 #Writesky #WritingPrompts #WIP #WritingCommunity What inspires Bethany? Imagination, love, familial devotion, and justice.

#FantasyIndiesJune 14 #WritingPrompts #Writesky I would love maps in my book(s) Sadly, I can't draw them anymore. I used to be an amateur artist, until I found my true calling in writing and storytelling. I felt writing expressed my true passionm, thoughts, ideas, etc. Art wasn't enough for me 😔

#JuneJottings 14 #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #Writesky #WritingPrompts Blanche Ingold, her cousin Marshall Driskett, & her clique. They're entitled, petty, smug, horrible bullies who think they're the good guys. They make me, their writer, cringe to the point of having my eyeballs pop out.

#FantasyIndiesJune #Writesky #WritingPrompts One of other WIP protags, Yanis, has very few favorite memories, one being the day (his 8th birthday) before his mother abandoned him. It was the most fun day of his life, at the Fun Fair with roller coasters, prizes, burgers, & candy.

#FantasyIndiesJune 10 #Writesky #WritingPrompts That really depends if the person my characters would ask for directions is approachable or not, or even safe and not shifty. Some persons might lead them to the wrong direction. So my characters have to be cautious.

#FantasyIndiesJune 8 #WritingPrompts #Writersky #Authorsky Almost everything inspires me; past & current events, real life, media I consume both past & present, Fairy Tales, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter, Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, Lemony Snicket, CS Lewis, Tolkien, Le Guin, Pratchett, etc.

#FantasyIndiesJune 4 #Writesky #AmWriting #WIP My MC, Bethany, prefers both indoors & outdoors. Whereas I personally prefer mostly indoors.

#FantasyIndiesJune 2 #WritingPrompts #Writesky Bethany's humor is a little on the sassy and sarcastic side. Though she likes to keeps it to herself, except with people she's comfortable with. At the start, its negative, but after her character growth, its positive.

#FantasyIndiesJune 1 #WritingPrompts #Writersky #Readersky #QueerWriters #Neurodivergence #Autism Hi, I'm Nectar Vam, currently working on my WIP "The Wild Family" Its a loose retelling of Andersen's fairy tale "The Wild Swans" but in the style of Labyrinth, with an autistic, bisexual heroine.

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writesky #WritingCommunity #Readersky #AmWriting The Chronobasis Chronicles (my time travel WIP) Outlander + Katabasis myths (Persephone, Psyche, Orpheus) + Analytical Psychology (Freudian, Jungian)

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 29 My favorite villains are Jadis the White Witch, the Grand High Witch, Agatha Trunchbull, Serena Joy and Commander Fred Waterford, Rasputin, the Wicked Witch of the West, Saruman, the Beldam/Other Mother, Captain Hook, Count Olaf, Margaret White, Pennywise, & Randall Flagg

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 28 #WritingPrompts #Writesky Jennifer Connelly and her husband Paul Bettany as Ruth and Sergei Ivanoff (Bethany's adopted parents)

Or even the snake witch from Roald Dahl's The Witches

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 26 #WritingCommunity In my wip of The Nequinum Gests, the Immund Siblings (magician-demigods) have had successes in the past (magically stunting the world, starting plagues/famines, imprisoning gods, would-be rescuers & humans), until the Heroes showed up to defeat them.

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 24 #WritingPrompts #Writesky #Amwriting Does this sound scary at all? in your opinion?

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 22 #booksky #adaptation I thoroughly enjoyed Netflix's adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I especially enjoyed Walden Media's adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia.

#TimeTravelAuthors 21 #Writesky #WritingPrompts #Booksky In my wip ("The Chronobasis Chronicles"), the time-traveling Heroine, believing her love interest & his crew have been killed, wanders the snowy fields until she's rescued by her paternal ancestors, kind-hearted Protestant Irish folk. 🧵1/?
