It was my birthday yesterday, and I woke up sick with a head cold, so sadly I doubt I'll be getting any writing done on my long weekend off work despite that being the original goal 😭

Writing day today 👀 shower first, and then I'm hoping to finish the chapter I'm working on. I'm very close to finishing the first "segment" of my Arthuriana rewrite—a solid beginning, I hope. What's everyone else up to today? #WriteSky

Proud of myself today, managed to crack out 1.6k words (which is almost double what I normally manage) and, frankly, I'm quite happy with the way it all came out as well... 😍 Here's a snippet from the chapter I was working on today. #Arthuriana #WriteSky

Whilst I mention trees a bunch in my current WIP, I haven't yet taken the opportunity to describe one to much extent. So, I took this as an opportunity to go back and add a little colour into one of my already written chapters. #WhimsicalWriters #Arthuriana #WriteSky

The three stopped under a fallen, gnarled pine tree to make shelter for the night. The broken branches provided a coarse blanket of green needles to shield from the rain. Here, Gawaine made to locate as many sharp, dried twigs as he could for a fire. He went from under the shadow of the thicket deeper into the forest, and wondered as he picked up sticks from beneath a mossy outcrop, whether or not they would ever find the druids.

Spent today mostly editing instead of writing, but I finally narrowed down how I want to describe the magic in my Arthuriana WIP. The word "magic" was waking me up from my writing, so I'm employing Inspiration as the descriptor as the magic's source. Taken from old lore, the Nine Maidens of Annwn.

He felt desire to live in the clawing desperate beating of her lame pulse. A rhythm of continuance. She deserved to keep going.

Mordred lowered his head and imagined the fire.

Flames cracked. Leaped. Reached. Pounding echoed in his skull, the pulsing of his heart. Children fear the dark, as adults fear death. Would this fawn return to her mother if she lived? Would he?

A snippet of what I've written today. From Mordred and the Fortress of Shadows—one of the many stories that will be part of my Arthurian Legend retelling. I may potentially release some of these stories for free. #WriteSky #Arthuriana #BookSky

An Excerpt from the short story "Mordred and the Fortress of Shadows" starts:

'Who are you? Your purpose?' She questioned him. She was taller than him. She pressed the tip of her blade against the centre of his chest and even through his rags he could feel it's sharp point threatening to break his skin. The image of so many swords glinting silver in the sun and splattering red upon green filled his mind. He swallowed and he could not talk.

The woman did not lower her sword. He had no choice but to speak.

'Are you Sgàthach?' He asked and his voice disappeared. The night was now suffocating, even though there was a breeze that blew Northward from the sea behind the castle, directly into his face. He did not feel the same relief as he had when he left the cave. Air did not fill his lungs. He could not breathe. The tears. The tears kept coming.

I like to write my stories queer, but not overtly. I want people to see my character's identities naturally, without it feeling forced--especially as my stories don't typically feature romance or if they do it's not the main plot. All of my own favourite stories have their subtle queer coding (1/4)

Really, food is viewed as a necessity and is only valuable for trade. The As'a make no celebrations out of food, and they don't even need to eat very often as they have incredibly slow metabolisms. They will fight and kill over food, however, if in short supply. Survival of the fittest. #BonApriltit

It varies. Most of the livestock is raised on the As'ari native planet and then distributed either within the sphere with aerial transport (as navigating the lane can be tough) or shipped up to the space station to be further distributed across the various outposts in the local star cluster.

#LoreOutLoud There's a couple of situations where I write best. The first is my go-to: late afternoon and evening, at my pc, uninterrupted by anything and anyone, and listening to the carefully curated playlists for my works. It's hard to stick to this in a house with a partner and an (1/2)

#LoreOutLoud I'm actually dedicated. Before, when I was younger, I used to just write for fun and never stuck with anything through to the end. Now I write to complete, to finish my stories.

#LoreOutLoud I want to tell the stories that I want to read--I want to put something out there into the world that feels meaningful and real and has an impact on someone. It makes me quite sad if my stories don't touch people, so I always have a drive to pour my passion into my works.

I'm late, but this sounds fun! I don't remember the exact moment, but I can say that it started in primary school! I always really enjoyed creative writing sessions, it was my favourite lesson in school. And I always wanted to show off what I could create. #LoreOutLoud

#BonApriltit The As'ari have a farming system, they favour livestock over grown foods, so their grown foods typically also are used to feed the animals. On Sąar’iah there are a number of rodent-like, rabbit-like, knee-height creatures that tend to be the As'ari's favourite.

#BonApriltit Well, when it comes to Humamity's customs, at the moment, it's "whatever they can get their hands on." The other species in the book, the A'sa, don't have much of a flavour palette. They tend to eat things whole, they don't even chew, and they're mostly indulging in meats and proteins.
