I'm currently finding small formatting errors in my writer's proof copy. I guess im not as close to finishing as I thought. Any interesting typos your WIPs? #writingcommunity #booksky #writingmemes #indieauthor

These are some of the vibes I was hoping readers might get while reading my upcoming book, Thirteen Down. Does it seem like something you would want to add to your TBR list? #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor #wipwednesday

What's in the box? Even the staff doesn't know for sure, but once the tournament starts, it will be unleashed. Are the other players or the Unda-Realm itself ready for the beast? Find out in Thirteen Down. Second slide is what is on everyone's minds as the games begins. #writingcommunity #Booksky

To the man with the hammer do the other contestants look like competition, or simply nails that need to be pounded? Find out in Thirteen Down. This snippet goes with the character art that I posted earlier. The inspiration for them is this prop I made a while ago. #writingcommunity #booksky #snippet

Some play for survival, others for riches. Gorok, he is in the Thirteen Down for carnage. Will the other players survive his dark desires? If you saw my last post you already know how to root for an orc, so drop a 🤘 for Gorok. Art by bratty_seki on IG #writingcommunity #booksky #orc #fantasywriter

In Thirteen Down, the hand motion that people are doing when they are cheering for the orc contestant is actually just ASL for orc. Thanks to @michellefranklin.bsky.social , the author of "The Orc who Saved..." series, for demonstrating the sign. #writingcommunity #booksky #orc #asl #signlanguage

This isn't the kind of place to hold back and Ashclaw is going to get to let his primal instincts out. The bastelie is going to be prowling the arena, are the other players opponents or prey? Find out in Thirteen Down. Bastelie are catfolk, so here is a cat. #writingcommunity #booksky #catsky

This isn't a fight, to some of the players it's simply a hunt for the most dangerous prey. What will happen when the competition ends up in Sir Reginald's crosshairs? Find out in Thirteen Down. #booksky #wipwednesday #snippet #writingcommunity #fantasyauthor

A time saving tip for authors: make sure that you are formatting your book in a standard size the first time around, unless you want to spend an afternoon reformatting 300+ pages. How are your WIPs going? #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #writingtip

If you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself. That is why Rilness is entering the Thirteen Down. This tournament is simply a grand arena after all. Do the other players stand a chance again the gladiatrix? Find out in Thirteen Down. #booksky #wipwednesday #writingcommunity #gladiatrix

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I thought I'd kick things off with the first characters mention in the book description; the gladiatrix. Here is Rilness as imagined by @biginsanehappy.bsky.social the creative mind behind the Barb and Haunted Safari. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I'd like to hear the title of your #wip and also what it means. For mine it's the name of the tournament that the book is based around, where thirteen players are brought down to the Unda-Realm to compete for the Drow's amusement as well as their own survival. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

The artists I commissioned have returned some great stuff inspired by my upcoming book. Next week I will start start introducing you to the the world of Thirteen Down through the work of those artists and some snippets from the story itself. Random doodle #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

How hands on are you with the design of your #wip ? Today I'm working on a mockup of my book with my cover artist and calculating the size to try and figure out what spine design will look like. Cover reveal coming soon. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #wipwednesday

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

How is your #wipwednesday going? For me today a big step in my writing journey; putting the manuscript into InDesign and formatting everything. It turns out my book will be around 300 pages, which is a little more than I expected it to be. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip

010

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Does your #WIP include the use of any footnotes? There is at least one point in my upcoming Thirteen Down where I know the readers may need a little extra context so I will be using them, but definitely not as frequently as Richard Adams. #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

During my edits I noticed a repeating error that now has me rechecking my punctuation. How do you stay in an inspired headspace while doing the more menial writing tasks? I listen to artistic people creating, like BrokenTerrain, to keep my own creativity up #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

What do you do during breaks from your writing? I've been doing a lot of editing on my book this week, so I decided to take a little break and play a horror Guess Who game @alexwhitebean.bsky.social made for me. #horrormovie #boardgames #writingcommunity #horrorcommunity

What do you listen to while you are working? I'm back to editing my book today and it just so happens that my favorite horror podcast, Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks, released a new episode. Perfect timing. Current word count 70 689 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #horrormovies

On this #wipwednesday I'm taking a break from editing to plan out my cover of my upcoming book, Thirteen Down. Do covers affect what you read? While reading this one most of my coworkers thought I was suddenly very interested in Ikea catalogs. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

020

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Does the weather affect the way you write? With the current wintery conditions we are experiencing, I'm definitely getting a lot of my editing done. Current word count 70 607 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

As an author I wonder if my readers will see my characters the same way I do. I've provided some local artists with descriptions from my upcoming book and in the coming weeks I'll be sharing what they have created. Anyways here's a random fish I drew. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #anglerfish

Its my day off, aka editing day, and the newest 'Legends and Lectures' podcast just dropped. @michellefranklin.bsky.social is speaking with the master of the Forgotten Realms, Ed Greenwood. I guess I know what I'm listening to as I fix up my manuscript. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

What strengthens your writing? I got a new book to help with my writing/editing process. I'm really loving the lists of locations and sensory details associated with them. Hopefully this makes my upcoming 'Thirteen Down' a stronger book. #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

How many times do you think you have you reread your #wip ? I never realized how much of writing a book involves sitting around and rereading the manuscript, repeatedly looking for any errors or places that need improvement. Current word count 70 421 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #catsky

kpclaveau.bsky.social @kpclaveau.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

How's your #wip going? I think I may be done mine- not the editing, the formatting or any of that stuff, but I think I finished writing the whole story that I wanted to tell. There is still a lot of work ahead, but I'll start that tomorrow. Word count 70 357 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

When you write are you trying to reach a specific word count, or do you just write and see where it takes you? The story seemes to be naturally winding down and I think I am seeing the end of my book in the near future. Current word count 68 234 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting #shelfie

How are you improving your writing this year? I've picked up a prewriting exercise to strengthen character's voices. It entails rewriting mundane statements as the various characters, or figuring their answers the same question. Current word count 65 453 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting

How were your holidays? I got a couple of new books, and I'm pretty sure they will help with writing. It was slightly awkard explaining to my family that the naming book was solely for crafting fictional characters though. Current word count 64 433 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip

Does your #WIP include maps or other reference materials? I feel like it's more common in fantasy books, but since my project is heavily influenced by #D&D, I feel like it make sense to include maps in Thirteen Down. Current word count 62 689 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

How do you make your characters stand out physically? I have a heavily Drow cast and thought jewelery might make some of them a little more memorable. Something like using an actual pixie sword as an earring had a nice D&D feel to it. Current word count 61 382 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

How realistic is your current #wip? In Thirteen Down realism took a back seat. People are manipulating flames and hurling lightning bolts, not to mention most of the contestants aren't even human. If that interests you, drop a follow. Current word count 60 835 #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

Do your MCs belive in an afterlife? In Thirteen Down it really depends on who you ask; the Goliath player believes in Valhalla but the Dragonborn necromancer or the Tiefling sorceress would probably give very different answers. Current word count 60 270 #booksky #writingcommunity #Wip #amwriting
