Writers! Which of your characters is your favourite to write, and why? I'll start. 🗡 Rivine: She's my FMC, the character who has my heart and who inspired me to write these books. She's my sassy, stabby, emotional, musical, fame-hunting, disaster bi of a bard. I adore her. #Writersky #Writers

How do beta readers work exactly? Do we just find friends and shove our books in their faces and say READ PLEASE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK? Or is there more of a process to that? I think I am going to start looking for some beta readers, once my alphas get through this book. #Writersky

The last week has been a RIDE in this author journey. Got my first query rejection for my full length novel. But! Had TWO short stories accepted into upcoming anthologies! Also, got married, but I guess that has nothing to do with writing 😅 #Writersky #Authors

I just had to look up what I named an inn in my book (turns out, I didn't. It's just "inn"), and I read the passages around it, and wow... I wrote that? It's so good and soft and warm feeling. What a nice thing to feel when reading my own work. #Writersky #Authors #AmQuerying

Querying my debut novel is exciting & terrifying & like shouting into the void & hoping the literary gods reply. First in a fantasy romance quadrilogy, featuring: 🪕 A demon-touched bisexual bard ⚔️ A serious half-orc paladin 🖤 Queer joy + slow burn tension #Booksky #Writersky #AmQuerying
