The gamer equivalent to "just one more chapter" is "just one more quest", as says this gamer reader writer who just didn't get writing done because of many "one more quests" back to back... #gamer #reader #author #books #games #videogames #writing

I've been told it is hard to find comps for my book because the reluctant vampires trying to become humans again is so rare these days. So... any takers for a rarer concept? 😂 #books #vampire #romancebooks #indieauthor #selfpublishing #booksky

If you want to be told how difficult it is to get your book out there as a self-published (to be) author, just mention in a writing space you're self-publishing. People LOVE to remind you of the time you're in for 🙃 #booksky #author #writingcommunity #selfpublishing #writer

Okay #booksky I have a question. Is there a difference between steam and spice? I was under the impression spice is explicit details of the act, and steam is just heated kisses and tension. Want to gauge if my understanding is shared with the community or not for when I talk about my own book 👀

As a writer and a reader, I love looking at bad reviews on books I love. It's a great reminder of how subjective the reading experience really is, and that even if there's people who think your book is a 1 star, someone else out there will think it a 6 out of 5 #booksky #books #writer #writersky

LEGENDBORN X AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER The wind has only spoken to me once in my life. #Q #YA #F #Jewish #1stLinePit

A title card with the text "An Agent's Guide to THE WINDWALKER - Katie Collan - young adult urban fantasy 105,000 words" over a person with a red cloak standing in the middle of a grassy field.

Pitch: "When fighters start disappearing from an underground tournament, a sixteen-year-old participant with wind powers must uncover the tournament's secrets before she loses a match and shares their fate."

A mood board featuring eight panels with a corresponding color palette in the center, as well as the caption, "Believe in the wind and you'll prevail." From left to right, top to bottom: fire burning down a building; ocean water; the sky above the clouds; a cracked, rocky ground; a red-haired girl in a red cloak with glowing white eyes, holding a dagger hilt with a transparent blade made of air; a skyline view of nighttime Manhattan; a NYC subway track; a boxing ring that depicts two people practicing punches beyond the ropes.

❝Magic untended festers. Magic forgotten rots.❞ Kaos x The Witcher x Godkiller #1stLinePit #agentsguide #F

The title cover to an agents guide for the project.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

The words

“An Agent’s guide to” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.

“The Dying Religion” - in an echo effect in black and white font surrounded by an orange glow.

“Adult epic fantasy” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.

The pitch page for the project. The pitch itself is in a large black box with dashed orange borders, the word pitch intersects with the box and is in a black and white echoing font.

The pitch is:

No one expected orphans to survive the war
meant to end magic, least of all win it.
But victory’s price? The death of their God.

Now war returns to a still healing continent,
the enemy intent on slaughtering
the five remaining Gods.

and the children raised as Holy-War cannon
fodder must decide if they’re worth saving.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

The comps & tropes page for the project.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page. Every box is black with an orange, dashed border, and the boxes for tropes and comps have the appropriate title, partially intersecting the relevant title. The quotes do not.

Comps:

Kaos, Witcher and Godkiller

The quote “martyr, coward, traitor or fool. Your choice, really, you’ll serve our needs one way or the other.”

The quote “there is only one religion in war, and believe me when it’ll you it’s a godless faith.”

Tropes:

Gods pay their dues
Hero x villain
Found family
Heist into hell
Friends to lovers to enemies
Morally grey mc & villain
Magic comes with a price

A villain and hero page for the project.

The hero and villain both have information about the individual characters in two separate black boxes, both with orange dashed borders. The word “hero” and “villain” intersects the relevant boxes (right and left respectively)

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

Villain

The gods killed all he loved
Out for revenge on the gods
Brainwashed veteran
Waterbender
Raised as cannon fodder
Reborn as propaganda
In love with the hero

Hero:
Raised to be the weapon of the gods
Out to destroy the institution that forged him
Guilt ridden veteran
Electricity bender
Raised as cannon fodder
Remade as a national threat (not what graphic says but need to resave that one)
In love with the villain

In the centre is the quote “your first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.”

With arrows pointing from hero (the receiver) to the villain (the speaker.)

#1stlinepit “Lianna Bontrower had a heart cursed to be stolen.” #wip #f #r #adult #writingcommunity

Illustration of the main characters of my fantasy romance WIP. Lianna, a plus sized woman with dark brown curly hair stands in front of Fyrgus, a man with black hair and black fox ears. He is holding her in his arms and they stare lovingly into one another’s eyes. His hands are at her hip and waist and they are blackened with curse marks and have claws. Her hand raises up behind her to play at his hair. She wears a a midnight banyan embroidered with silver moons and a pink chemise a la reine inspired dress. Fyrgus wears a crimson coat embroidered with suns,

Shuffle of my fantasy romance WIP: Rosemary and Flame. The couple is in the center surrounded by trees and florals and a black fox, grey cat, a dragon flames, the sun and the moon

The great witch Beatrice Bontrower is missing and it’s up to her daughter, Lianna to find her. But Beatrice is lost in a magical land full of dangers and heart snatching fae and Lianna has no magic of her own. What’s a poor woman to do? Obviously bind herself to the first barely trustworthy fae she meets. He’s after the ring on her pinky, a family heirloom said to hold ancient magic, and he’ll do just about anything to get it, including helping a wayward woman find her missing mother. Together they traverse the wilds of Faerie on a path of danger and discovery, for Beatrice was a woman of many secrets and these secrets have teeth.

Tropes:
-Grumpy/sunshine
-Plus size 30 y/o fmc
-A magical quest
-Finding yourself as an adult
-Bickering is a love language
-He falls first but she saves him

Characters:
-An incorrigible flirt of a herione

-A murderous witch

#1stLinePit Grim Portents HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE We killed another guy at the Whataburger this morning, which makes three since we started on the road yesterday. #Q #A #F #COM #H #P

Cover for Grim Portents featuring a skeleton hand gripping a feather, emerging from a flaming book over a maze

"I always told myself it wasn't real. It was a figment of my imagination, the mind playing tricks. It was just a shadow.
But now the monster had been given a name, an identity.
It was real."
BILL BAKER WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO MARRY THE WOMAN HE LOVES, BUT WHEN HIS WEDDING IS INTERRUPTED BY A RAMPAGING HELL-BEAST, HIS LIFE IS THROWN INTO DISARRAY. DESPERATE FOR A SECOND CHANCE, HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO SET HIS FUTURE BACK ON TRACK.
NOW, WITH THE HELP OF A SOUL-COLLECTING REAPER NAMED SONNY, HE MUST UNCOVER WHO IS RELEASING MONSTERS FROM HELL, IN ORDER TO EARN BACK THE LIFE THAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND PREVENT THE ONCOMING END OF DAYS.
FACED WITH THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS EASY, BILL MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE ALL HE HOLDS DEAR FOR ONE LAST SHOT AT LIFE.

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.
