Outlined the climax sequence for Book 2 but have been avoiding writing it entirely. Found I'm really enjoying the denouement more, and it's somehow helping me better form the climax in my head. These are some of my most favourite, most emotional chapters I've written.
Heya friendos! Here's your #MayWorldbuilders prompt list! The first half is focused on languages and communication. Second half is about marriages and death. Please keep it related to your creative project, whether that's a book, TTRPG, short fiction, or whatever.
First draft = 80% complete
I decided not to make an "author" website, because I'm only interested in accomplishing one thing and that's creating this specific world—the world of Babushka. Once I've completed the series (and accompanying novellas) I'll return to the shadows.
I had no idea what a three act structure was until after finishing the first draft of my first novel. #WritingCommmunity #writingtips
Something that has helped me to write better chapters is to make sure they have a beginning, middle, end, clear purpose, and that it tells a self-contained story. If I have all of those things, then they seem to come together.
My copy of Бabushka by @SeloSlav showed up today, lookin forward to givin it a read 👍🏻
A Storm of Swords, end of chapter 8. Jorah Mormont is a massive creep! Lol. No wonder that wasn't in the show. #ASOIAF
'The Cartographer from Greenwood' comes out May 1st! Grab your cosy fantasy novella now, with pre-orders available. Dive into the story of Soread, a lost cartographer finding himself caught in a storm and driven to the manor of Lord Aeglas. amazon.de/Cartographer-G…
It's so satisfying connecting with people on here and reading their books and exploring their worlds. Maybe I just haven't been exposed to the inevitable random vitriol yet, but this feels like paradise compared to other corners of Twitter.
#readers #booktwt #readercommunity I'm excited to announce the release of The Odyllic Stone. Come join Aster on an Adventure to save Buckwheat Village! Available in paperback and ebook. ~Read for free with Kindle Unlimited~

@babushkabook Hi! Tnxs for asking. I got paid, so excited that I downloaded it today. 😊 Can't wait to start reading. 💜
Book 2in the works! 📚
@babushkabook Absolutely! I'm excited to get back to reading yours. Had to take a break to get an ARC and a beta finished for end of the month deadlines
🔥⚔️Book Launch day!⚔️🔥 My first self-published book of the year is out today worldwide. Steel In The Morning is a prequel novella for my Light of the North saga. It's a character origin story based on a single Viking raid and its aftermath. Enjoy. 😘. mybook.to/Steel_In_The_M…
#AprilWorldbuilders 30: How long have you been worldbuilding? For The Odyllic Stone, about five years. I've gotten a few compliments about how my world feels alive, so I guess it was time well spent.
My #IndieApril wasn't earth shattering but it's certainly better than how the rest of the year has gone
#WritingCommunity Now that Indie April is almost over, how did you support indie authors this month? I participated in an ARC read, a beta read, and signed up for another ARC. Also I'm almost done reading an indie fantasy book I purchased last month and will review soon.
#AprilWorldbuilder 29: What is your current project? All my prompt replies were for my debut fantasy adventure The Odyllic Stone. I'm currently working on the sequel. If any of my worldbuilding sounded interesting, please check it out. 3 reviews away from 10 (all 4-5 stars-GR)
#AprilWorldbuilders 28: snippet: night Aster learns why he grew up with only his father in this snippet. Told by Beryl, his mother.
Heya friendos! Here's your #MayWorldbuilders prompt list! The first half is focused on languages and communication. Second half is about marriages and death. Please keep it related to your creative project, whether that's a book, TTRPG, short fiction, or whatever.
#WritingCommunity What is your main character's most distinguishing feature?
Ahh, I want to do these again! But I'll answer in batches. For now, just the first week! 1. The Good Thyme Inn gang typically use whatever is nearby as a weapon. Grilled uses his cooking knives and Aubergine uses a scythe from the farm. Shallot later learns to shoot a longbow
@babushkabook @Intrinsic29 my understanding is that's a big part of the court interactions right now. thing is... even if something becomes legal, is it right? history is full of bad examples of lawful mistakes.
@babushkabook @OConnorBooks I don't have strong opinions on legality and I think it's sort of moot in a way because I believe these models are close to an innovative plateau anyway and the existence of extremely strong open source models make the problem a permanent one either way.
