A mood board for Always Greener! Gotta love any excuse to scroll pretty pictures … :P
A collection of images featuring futuristic nature-inspired tech, gears, a wooden board game, a woman with her head on a desk, and two figured dancing at dusk. The words “Always Greener” are in the centre.

The sign above the exit indicating straight ahead on the highway says “My hopes and dreams of being an inventor” and the exit sign pointing to the exit says “A scandalous relationship with my diplomatic host.”Top image: a mother (captioned “Blinne” holds a child out of the pool (captioned “Protecting my health”).

The opening lines of Always Greener for #DVparty! #A #F #R #DIS #CI #ND #OWN #amquerying #writersky
A large swath of text with a stylized quotation mark above it, wavy lines around it, and “Always Greener” in cursive below it. The text reads: “    Sweet Discoveries was, somehow, even more horrifying in person than it seemed on the website.
    And by that, I meant it was a total eyesore.
    I was beginning to think trying the new sweet shop with my friend, Chilperia, might have been a mistake. I was looking forward to seeing her. More or less. But when I spotted the shop from a block and a half away, I seriously considered turning back.
    Things didn’t get better as I approached. The lavish decorations far exceeded what anyone would charitably call garish. Just looking through the window made me feel a little claustrophobic. But there were only so many leisure businesses in Bindrix Square, and Sweet Discoveries carried sugar puffs, which were Chilperia’s favorite. Besides, she loved a good over-the-top theme. Or at least, I hoped she did. It had been a while since we last caught up.”

Meet Blinne and Ruai for day 2 of #DVparty! #A #F #R #DIS #CI #ND #OWN #amquerying #writersky #writingchallenge
An image of a woman with her head on her desk, a banner with the words “Character Intro Blinne Colman”. A block of text: “Blinne was going to be an inventor. That is, until her body betrayed her. In trying to protect her health from further deterioration, she has become a shadow of her former self. But the events of Always Greener are about to shake things up a bit and bring out her latent wit, ambition, and determination.”An image of a man in a lush forest. A banner with the words “Character Intro Emergent Ruai Elesai.” A block of text: “Emergent Ruai Elesai of the Linum Root is thoroughly, existentially bored in the society position and cushy government job he was born into. His propensity to create his own amusement with games of all types has branded him a renegade. He wears the title like a badge of honor. Blinne’s arrival in Elissinara might just be the excitement he’s been looking for.”

A visual depiction of Always Greener for day 1 of #DVparty Couldn’t help but add a few hints about Kelbrand even if we spend most of the story in Elissinar 🫣 #A #F #R #DIS #CI #ND #OWN #amquerying #writersky #writingchallenge
Tiled rectangular images around the words “Always Greener”. Images depict futuristic organic & tree-like structure, gears, a couple dancing at sunset (silhouetted against the sky), a woman with her head rested on her desk, and a wooden board game with pieces.

What I imagine Blinne’s search history might look like during the events of Always Greener. Girl is a little clueless, what can I say? #UnhingedPit #A #F #R #Q #OwnVoices #DIS #amquerying
Mock search engine. Top search says “Blinne’s Search History”. Subsequent searches in order: “How to follow someone incognito”, “Spying for dummies”, “Lura board game best strategies for beginners”, “Elissinat patent records”, “Elissinar no public patent records why”, “Flirting vs platonic banter?”. 

Background is a kitchen, image darkened and mostly hidden. 

“Always Greener” in cursive below the mock search engines.

Got this great prompt from #smoochwait on IG. Had so much fun brainstorming what Blinne, my MC, would drop as loot in a video game! #amquerying Always Greener, my adult romantic fantasy featuring a #DIS /chronically ill MC
Template with the text “LOOT BLINNE WOULD DROP IN A VIDEO GAME” in a banner with “Always Greener” in cursive script below. 5 circles containing photos are scattered around the page, containing a digital tablet and stylus, an orange pill bottle with multi-colored pills scattered on a blue background, a small metal gear-like object, a glass vial with blue powder in it, and a multi-too. Arrows point from text to each image, the text reading “DIGITAL NOTEPAD FILLED WITH SCHEMATICS”, “BACKUP PAIN MEDS”, “SPARE PARTS”, “TACTICAL BUROL STASH”, and “MULTI-TOOL FOR TINKERING WITH PROTOTYPES” respectively.

#querying has me working analogue and jotting down new story ideas. So many cool story concepts on MSWLs I want to read! Sadly, they don’t exist yet. Any chance I have some writer friends who could get on that? 👀
A pile of lined cue cards beside a sheet of coloured dot stickers, a pen and some small post-it notes on a wooden desk. The first group of cue cards are labeled “First Batch”.
