🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Long time no update, friends! I've been hard at work the past few months plotting my first book, and I'm really happy to say this phase is nearing completion. I also did end up deciding to plot the next 3 books alongside it too, which proved to be a good decision. 1/2 5121

🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 28/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 28 A week after Darius didn't return to their hideaway, the thought he was actually missing finally set in for Shin. And it hit him very hard. He wept for a time. First his parents. Now his uncle. In that moment, in that place, he was powerless, vulnerable, and truly alone. 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 28/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 27 (BELATED) Another old snippet, one I shared with a draft of Shin's character redesign. I was proud of it. It was a scene I had in my mind for a long time, after I reworked the story years ago. Shin's first interaction with the outside world in over 10 years. 1/2🧵 121
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 28/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 26 (BELATED) Strange Monday! Unique circumstances! The prankster wouldn't even get the chance to shout the phrase, let alone land the punch. I'm certain Shin would intercept their fist with his palm and throw the poor fool a few yards away! 011
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 28/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 28 MC Habits. Stargazing is one. It's an important part of Shin's character, and becomes an on-going story element. He does so to contemplate, ponder, regulate. To relax. Whether after an informative day, or the night before an important event or mission ✨ 091
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 28/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 27 (BELATED) Project Drake was initially very silly in its youth, built upon pure shonen shenanigans etc. Now it's a completely different story, that balances the action & epic. I'd also intended for it to be a comic, but I had a change of vision in 2024, due to logistics. 091

🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 20/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 20 Random sentence without context: "This madman breaks into my cellar, drinks all of my rice wine, and has the gall to ask me for a favour?" 021
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 20/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 19 (BELATED) Shin would choose the spoon, as he wouldn't want to waste good food! I think he'd also choose it to work in a corny line before the fight begins, like "Let's cook..." 021
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 20/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 20 Hobbies. I enjoy skateboarding and playing guitar. Pop culture hobbies, I enjoy PC gaming & Nintendo. I also have a passion for trading cards, and a deep love for Digimon Vpets & devices. I love the franchise with all my heart! 1111
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 20/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 19 (BELATED) Shin has two big weaknesses. The first being an issue "controlling" certain emotions. The second is his lack of knowledge on the current world and how it works, since he's been sequestered for 10 years. 081

🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026My prompt catch up is complete. The post spamming is... OVER 😤 050
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 15 Really such a great question. There's a fair mix of both good & worse. But I think a lot of the relationships that change for Shin are internal. How he perceives the world, the people, reflecting on what he was taught in past and what he learns on his journey. 071
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 14 (CATCH UP) The last spring he shared with Darius, before he disappeared. Maybe it's imprinted more because he misses him, but he genuinely loved their springs. More sun, more life, more activities; their hideaway and their days becoming a little warmer coloured. 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 13 (CATCH UP) Not applicable to me yet. However, I’m carefully crafting it with this concern on the forefront. Easier said than done, but as I’ve mentioned, I love subtle clues, hints & nuance. Foreshadowing is my middle name; remember that one! 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026WritingInJanuary Day 12 (CATCH UP) "Idiot Sandwich" Honestly, Shin wouldn't know he's being insulted, sheltered upbringing and all. Clued by instinct, he'd ask: "Can I eat it?" I don't think he'd know what a sandwich (or a "Gordon Ramsey”) is ahaha. He's very well versed in the word idiot though! 021
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 11 (CATCH UP) There is one crucial moment where REDACTED realises REDACTED is different. It's probably the first real sign of a romance thread that the reader will pick up on. It's subtle, but perceptible. Right now, it's set to happen in arc #4, Saga #1. 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 10 (CATCH UP) Shin falls into both themes, motivated by each. His overall goal is to find his real family. But it’s his found family that guides him, and really what ends up inspiring him, teaching him, changing his perception of the world, & helping him find his place in it. 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#JanuaryWorldbuilders D15 Shin uses both his sword and his fists. He begins his journey with a regular steel blade. The same one he's been training with for the past three years in isolation. Much later down the track, he acquires this special blade pictured below. 1/3🧵 1111
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 15/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 14 (CATCH UP) Probably time management so that I can write, read, share, and converse more! I'm well on my way to achieving this. I've readjusted my sleeping schedule and returned to my sorely missed routines. Almost finished prompt catch ups too. 092
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 9 (CATCH UP) Show a teaser of your book with one image, snippet or video. I'd say this picture captures the essence of Project Drake's Book #1, at least the beginning: This is also totally a "picture you can hear." 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 8 (CATCH UP) Share the climax of your story with one GIF. The climax of Project Drake's first Saga. A punch that breaks the shackles: 👁️🔥👊 151
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 7 (CATCH UP) There's a view called the “Realm of Dreamers,” where the night sky comes to life, located atop Zeph'jord's peaks where Drae's Loremasters dwell. When Shin arrives here, he's really taken by how the close the stars are; how they almost feel within reach 🌌 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 6 (CATCH UP) "You'll love my (upcoming) book because:" it contains the whimsical absurdity & chaotic fun of shōnen manga, combined with the epicness & awe of traditional fantasy tales. And a flavour blend of a few other genres. It's a real subgenre soup! 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 9 (CATCH UP) Free Friday! Back to sharing my love for notebooks! ✨ This is my new pocket Commonplace & Compendium (I call it my CoCo) for this year's first quarter! I use it to note basically anything I find interesting or want to learn or keep in mind. 1/2🧵 1101
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 8 (CATCH UP) Writing Strengths: Probably general descriptions, and the ability to thread plot that's steeped in nuance & foreshadowing. I‘d say I have a knack for connecting expansive threads, big picture set-ups, and delivering payoffs & reveals. 091
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 14/01/2026#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 7 (CATCH UP) From my novella (WIP benched atm while I focus on PD's Book #1). It's from the POV of Darius, Shin's uncle, & tells a story set in the past. First line: "The small and feeble prisoner was escorted through the bustling city square by a heavy guard of twelve.” 081

🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 05/01/2026#WritingInJanuary Day 5 Strange Monday: Shin would immediately run to find Lara, their resident Doctor in-training! As long as she's around, he wouldn't panic. Not one bit. He completely trusts her with his life. Basically, he'd be smiling nonchalantly: "OK. Do what you need to do, Lara." 051
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 05/01/2026#WritingInJanuary 4 (BELATED) Platonic friendships & found family are two key themes that drive Project Drake. As Shin travels, he will make more & more unexpected friends. But there is one super slow burn romance thread being set up for future. Not saying who... 041
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 05/01/2026#JanuaryWorldbuilders Day 5 OOOH! This one's for Project Light! The constant monster attacks, and the looming proliferation & spreading of these Evils are a massive problem in V and her world. Brief backstory: 2 decades ago, the Evils invaded the world, claiming a part of it as their own, 1/5🧵 2111
🖊️ R.G. Atlas - StargazingHero ✨ @stargazinghero.bsky.social · 05/01/2026#JanuaryWorldbuilders 4 (BELATED) The ruins of Draemon City is an unsettling place to be. Harrowing scenes of death from the razing 10 years ago still remain preserved in the muted undergrowth, as it slowly reclaims the ground. Bones mangled & charred, shadows scorched on stone. 092
