#LGBTQWriteAThon 6 Harmony is anxious about people learning her secret (she’s a psychic). She was sent away from the station as a teen because people couldn’t handle it. Delaney(the AI) fears Harmony will get herself in trouble she can’t talk her way out of and she promised to look after her.

#LGBTQWriteAThon I don’t really like Harmony’s plot line so far. I’ve learned more about her but it’s not really working. So my goal this week is to rework Harmony’s scenes maybe show off her outlaw side a bit more. Add some more conflict with the other character she’s forced to work with.

I know I just read These Burning Stars but I kind of want to read it again… No Kyle! You have too many books on your TBR. Anyway. Currently reading Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky and enjoying it. I know it’s going to get a lot weirder and I’m looking forward to it. #booksky

#LGBTQWriteAThon 3 I restructured the story so far. Threw out a bunch of stuff I wrote and rewrote a couple chapters. Up to almost 11k words now. Yay! About 10% of my word goal. Pretty productive week, I’m happy with how it’s progressing.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 2 I'm writing the first draft of Harmony wip. Its a sci-fantasy story about a psychic named Harmony and her AI Delaney. She meets Calytrix who's immune to her abilities. Together they try to escape Agents Fransen and Dence, find Caly's mother, and stop Dr. Kaufman.
Mood board for Harmony wip. Top left is a messy looking electrical panel with wires and tools everywhere. Top Right says HARMONY WIP and under that is a field of wheat under a blue sky. Middle Left is a hand reaching up into the night sky with a moon just over it. The hand is a silhouette. Middle right is a foggy forest. The trees look old and gnarled and kind of creepy. Bottom left is a room in shadow. A person's outline is seen in the door way. Bottom right is an industrial type area with barrels of something lining the sides.

I’m closing in on the end of This Brutal Moon by Bethany Jacobs and so help me if anything bad happens to Chono, Six, Jun, Liis, or Masar I WILL riot. Otherwise it’s been a fine conclusion to the story started in These Burning Stars 8/10. #booksky

#AwesomeCharacters Delaney can take a beating(she’s an AI inhabiting a space ship 😜) For humans: Dr. Kaufman is durable. He takes a rifle butt to the face and still comes back to shoot Melody in the leg to keep her from escaping. Delaney gets the medal 🏅 because Kaufman is a bad guy.

Haven’t done one of these in a while. #WIPSnips - Call CW: language This is from a scene in the past timeline. It’s actually very near the beginning of the story but it comes later when Harmony discovers spoiler is still spoiler spoiler 😜
A snippet of text from my untitled SciFi wip. This POV is from the protagonist’s mother and a flash back.

The air within Delaney was tense. Melody slammed her fist on the cracked leather arm rest. "No, I only agreed to come along to rescue my daughter."

"We understand you are frustrated." The person on the screen said. Nikitas might be the most frustrating person she had ever met. So yeah, she was a little frustrated. "You know that station inside and out, hell, you helped build it."

"I've given you schematics, I've shown you every hidden nook and cranny of that station. I've told you everything. Now, while you and your friends do whatever the hell it is you want to do on that station I'm going to rescue my fucking daughter. Don't get in my way." Melody slammed the disconnect call button. The whole screen moved under the force of her hand.

"Without the assistance of Nikitas and their compatriots your chance of success is slim at best," Delaney said, her voice was calm but held a note of caution.

I’ve taken a different approach to writing this story. I have a handful of POV characters and each has their own document. It lets me hop between POVs and write whatever I’m feeling like. Then I’ll be able to piece them together when I’m done. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#QueerWriters Saturday: Check in Day! Something about this story clicked in my brain this week. Suddenly my antagonist has a personality(not a good one) maybe it was having her murder someone... my protags have met and immediately hate each other. Yes this is excellent. All going to plan.

#QueerWriters Monday Now that I’ve spent some time brainstorming my space-psychic adventure I’d like to get down to business. This week I want to write the intro chapter for each pov character from both timelines and see who’s the most interesting. Then I want to write some journal epigraphs.

Finished a book this week. These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs. What a fantastic story! The second I finished the last page I jumped in my car and drove to the library to get the second book in the trilogy. I was looking for intrigue and suspense and I got it! 10 out of 10 for me. #BookSky
The cover of These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs. The title is in large font in white at the top. The author's name is in large white lettering at the bottom. The cover features a profile image of a head in a pink silhouette in the background. The foreground is of a tower and other structures two spacecraft are flying through clouds in the silhouette. There is also the suggestions of mountains and a moon in the silhouette .

#AugCharWork 1 I need Harmony to do 3 things. Pursue the woman whose mind she can't read. Change her selfish yet self-destructive and isolationist ways. I need Harmony to open herself up to her own powers and learn to control them instead of suppressing them. Then she can make a difference. 1/2

I kind of want my second book to have mixed POVs. I’m talking two 1st person and one 3rd person with another occasional 3rd person who only pops up when necessary. Am I out of line? Any chance that could work? Do I pick one person to be 1st and accept the rest as 3rd? #writeSky #writingCommunity

#QueerWriters Saturday: Well I didn’t get to the inciting incident this week. I did manage to write 3 scenes and plot out another 5 in detail. Which includes the inciting incident so that’s a win at least. This is the first time I’ve attempted multi POV and it’s a lot of work.

A couple years ago my mom gave me a box filled with all her favourite recipes handwritten on cards. I have made the banana bread recipe half a dozen times and it has collapsed in on itself every time. I’ve been trying to figure out why. The recipe she gave me before didn’t have that problem. #baking

#SummerOfStories 24 Little Kyle: Your writing stinks. But don’t worry, you can learn. I know the idea of structure goes against everything you are but take a minute and learn. It’ll save us a lot of energy and hard feelings. Most importantly, write for yourself. Write for fun. Just keep writing.

In order to capture and defeat a writer you must first discover their true weakness: that one normal word that they absolutely cannot spell correctly.
Only then will you be able to bind them and take their literary power as your own

GIRL ON THE TRAIN X HUNTING WIVES Maureen knows there's more to the story as the struggling mommy blog of the former It Girl at her small town highschool goes viral when beautiful, troubled Lacey starts posting about her teenage son's disappearance This thriller is still a WIP #BluePit #T #W #A #📖
a pitch deck mood board featuring images that gesture at a washed out sepia tone: rural and small town landscapes and instagram-y photos of a blogger typing on a laptop and a boho woman in a sun hat, turned away. The images are arranged in a frame that evokes a film strip. Gold text reads "Untitled Sapphic Thriller. WIP by Ellie Rhymer"the second page of a pitch deck: excerpt from Untitled Sapphic Thriller WIP by Ellie Rhymer:

"The youngest and the oldest a boy is ever going to be is sixteen years old. When a boy is sixteen, he’s been sixteen all his life, and he won’t ever be anything but sixteen. It’s always been the summer before junior year, and all the days of his life touch each other like the pages in a book, written down, past and future, into one endless present-now. You can read a sixteen year old boy cover-to-cover in one sunny afternoon by the lake, or sitting on the porch swing on the shady side of the house, or late into the warm cricket-night when it is still, and quiet, and dark.
Christopher Brooks was sixteen the summer he disappeared from Hometown, USA. He was sixteen then, and he was sixteen before, and he will never be any older than sixteen."

#SummerOfStories 10 I’m able to listen to music or podcasts at work so I listened to a few writing podcasts. Half the time I’d be too busy day dreaming about my story to hear what they were saying. The other big one has been the monthly prompt games. I don’t think I would have finished otherwise.
