We've got some big announcements today, starting with a cover reveal for HEAVY ARE THE YEARS!! 🤩 Illustrated by the incredible @riotbones.bsky.social, there are glimpses of each story within the letters! The Kickstarter to fund this book goes live September 4th! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

The cover for Heavy Are The Years, with glimpses of each story within the text (a large underground and crumbling city being explored by tiny figures holding up a lantern, a person on the move, seemingly chasing after a cat, and a woman in ragged clothing trying to escape a dark cave with birds swooping around her.)

I've finally gotten amazing at finishing rough drafts, but revisions? Nope, can't focus on them at all...

Melody and Lyra have shared a body for over 20 years, and they're doing great... until Lyra is stolen from under their skin. Melody teams up with Lyra's girlfriend Annie (who had no idea Melody exists), and an angel to go on an awkward rescue road trip. #Bluepit #W #A #F #LGBT 📖

The world has ended, and the descendants of survivors hide in a magic forest, shielding them from monsters. But then, someone arrives. Someone no one recognizes, and who has no memories. And soon after his arrival, the gods who destroyed the world begin to stir… 📖 #W #A #F #T #LGBT #BLUEPIT

The queen is dead. Three siblings seek the murderer: Tempest for revenge, Cole to prove his worth, and Brennan to prove it wasn’t him…although he has killed before. But forces larger than them are in play, and soon, all three will be irrevocably changed… 📖 #W #A #F #T #LGBT #OV #BLUEPIT

Me: More plot, plz? My brain: Hmmm... Best I can do is 5 new characters that fit perfectly into existing plots.

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 08/12/2023

This story is itching to be written in weird ways. I'll write backstory, but then I'll get an idea for the outline and work on that for a bit, but then a scene or chapter will demand to be written, so I'll do that. Who knows how this'll look in the end...?

Trying to get back into writing by starting a rough outline of a fantasy trilogy that's been stuck in my head for a while now

How does one find a writing critique group/partner these days?

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 14/11/2023

Decided I'm not doing nano the rest of the month. I'm still recovering from COVID. Pushing myself to write like this is probably not for the best...

Sudden intense urge to write something high fantasy. ...neither of my nano projects are high fantasy... :(

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 08/11/2023

The story I'm dabbling in is insisting on being written in 3rd person omniscient, present tense. I have never written anything in omniscient before, and I prefer my 3rd person to be past. ?????

Looking for a new job while also trying to complete nanowrimo is a special kind of hell...

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 05/11/2023

The WIP I'm dabbling in when my weird one isn't flowing is about two people who are in deep friend-love with each other (zero romantic feelings toward each other at any point in the story), and their dynamic has been so fun to write!

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 02/11/2023

Chapter 4 just absorbed chapter 5, but it's fine. I've come up with a ton of new stuff for the middle, so hopefully I have enough plot still to hit something resembling 50k.

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 02/11/2023

Never would've guessed the joke character I made 2 days ago would be so important to my plot

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 01/11/2023

Trying to write chapter two, but I keep getting distracted and drafting unhinged scenes from the end of the book

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 01/11/2023

*writes the words "chapter one" at the top of the document* *stares at my screen for half an hour without typing* *checks word count and sees there's only 2 words* Wow, rude.

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 01/11/2023

Just reread my outline for my nanowrimo project and it's already changed so much in my head vs what's written down. Uh oh...

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 31/10/2023

Coming up with last minute gag characters to throw into my nanowrimo project

All I wanna do is read and write all day forever

My brain keeps giving me only half plots and none of them fit together...

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Asleep, I was positive my dreams last night would make the plot for an amazing MG fantasy. When I woke up, however, I realized they were nonsense... :( I get a lot of my most interesting ideas from my dreams. How disappointing...

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 03/10/2023

The closer it gets to nanowrimo, the more I get an urge to scrap all my outlined ideas and write something totally different... x.x

020

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 02/10/2023

I untangled my parallel plots into 2 different documents, and as suspected, they are very different in length. One is 17k and the other is 23k. I'm gunna take a week break and then start going through the short one to see what can be added.

000

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 02/10/2023

Well, THAT'S not the ending I was planning for Trans Joy Isekai WIP, but it makes so much more sense for the characters, so I'll allow it.

000

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Forgot how helpful it is to just list out my characters' traits. Like, I know them in my soul, but I vocalized them today and had an epiphany. Turns out, MC has a trait that opposes one of his LI's traits. So now I'm making them be friends and it feels so much more right.

AI "artists" and "writers" saying being able to create is a privilege like I haven't done some of my best work in the middle of a work shift on a paper bag with a pen I stole from the bank.

Me, about to do overexert myself and trigger a fibro flare like a fool: it's just a little pain. What's it gunna do, hurt me?

010

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 25/09/2023

Wrote some more. Probably only need another 10k words and I'm done with this draft! Though, I think one of the story lines is a bit underdeveloped, so I might go back and add a bit more...

000

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 24/09/2023

2/3 done drafting trans joy isekai! It's weird... when writing the outline, I was like "I'll find ways to tie the events together better in revisions," but here I am drafting and everything is just falling together on its own.

000

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 18/09/2023

I was planning to draft "the vampire polycule and the mystery of the unknown musician" for #nanowrimo, but then "nonbinary angel vs space zombies" started calling me with its weird scifi/horror/humor genre combo, and I think I might write that one instead.

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 17/09/2023

Okay, NOW I'm halfway through drafting trans joy isekai WIP...

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 14/09/2023

How can I be expected to go to work when my cat is being snuggly and my book is itching to be written?

020

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 14/09/2023

Just realized I managed to horribly misnumber my chapters in my outline for trans joy isekai, so I'm not as far into it as I thought... But I'm now 2 chapters away from being half through it, at least...?

010

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 11/09/2023

Got a random idea for a TTRPG I'd been working on creating 8-ish years ago, and now I'm itching to rewrite it from scratch and run something in it... x.x I don't have tiiiiiime...

020

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 11/09/2023

Anyone know if #pitch events are going to happen over here? Or will I have to head back to birb app for those? #writingcommunity #querying

Andrew Belindo @andrewbelindo.bsky.social · 09/09/2023

Officially half done drafting my trans joy isekai WIP! It's 20k words so far!
