For anyone who needs to hear it:

Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Don’t panic if you think somebody is more “ahead” than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because life’s not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.

It’s totally fine if you’re single. It’s fine if you’re still finishing school. It’s fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. It’s fine if you haven’t had sex yet, or haven’t gotten your driver license yet. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten your own place yet. It’s fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. It’s fine.

Don’t feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You don’t know what obstacles they faced to get there and they don’t know what you’ve faced. Don’t undermine the progess you have made.

Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasn’t materialized yet in the traditional way.

You are still young. Like really young.

You got time.

It’s not quite as noticeable in the 3D model but going by concept art only the Firekeeper’s mask has rather similar design elements to Filianore’s circlet…

Deepest Lore?

concept: all of your novels are being adapted to the big screen, and you get to choose the theme song in the trailer. what song do you pick for your major novels?

When I saw this ask I literally said, out loud “oh fuck yes.” Because Music Asks™ yessss. Although I don’t really aspire to have my work turned into film, I definitely do picture trailers in my head to specific songs so I am ready for this one.

(lots of trailers use more than one song so sometimes I have two)

Someone Will Save You: “Drawn to the Blood” by Sufjan Stevens, which would then transition into “Words As Weapons” by Birdy. “Oceans” by Seafret is also a possibility, or something by Gregory & The Hawk

Blue: So many options, but I think “Heart” by Flor. It could work on its own, but maybe we can throw “Collide” by EVVVY in there. I actually have a lot of scenes form this book that I envision very distinctly as montages to very specific songs.  

Winter Houses: Okay I have a very distinct vision for this. It would be a stripped down, acoustic version of either “The Chain” or “Gold Dust Woman” by Fleetwood Mac, sung by Heidi. I prefer the lyrics to “Gold Dust Woman” but that drum in “The Chain” tho. Dat drum. You could have some great cuts to that drum beat just saying.

Chaos Theory (prev. Chain Reaction): For a teaser, “Intro” by The xx. For a full trailer, “She Wants to Know” by Half Moon Run.

I’m Fine: This one is really hard? I’m torn between “Waiting Around to Die” by the Be Good Tanyas, “Everything” by Ben Howard, and “Gold” by Wake Owl. 

Enigma: Okay I have a veryyy distinct vision of this trailer and its to “Playground” by Møme. 

The Definition of Impossible: I always picture a trailer for this book to “Doing the Right Thing” by Daughter.

Bird Behaviour: Pretty much any Marika Hackman song *spins wheel* Or “Bayou” by Mountains of the Moon.

The Dragon Tear: Just a lil instrumental for this. “Our Paradise” by Castles & Caves. 

Northbound: “Fellow in the North” by Cold Weather Company or “Warrior” by AURORA.

basic things you should know about your main characters

how is their relationship with their family

what are their beliefs, if they have any

what is their motivation (preferably something unrelated to their love interest/romantic feelings, bc people care about other things, too, kthx)

who were they raised to be vs. who they became/are becoming

what are their plans for the future, if they have any

how do they feel about themselves and how it affects their behaviour (i mean. you can’t tell me a character is shy then have them do things shy people wouldn’t do, like?????)

how do they feel about things they cannot control? 

and last but not least: 

WHY IS THIS CHARACTER THE PROTAGONIST

LBR DO THEY EVEN MATTER

[promptsforthestrugglingauthor]

Additionally, not all of these things have to come up in the course of your story, but it’s integral to who your character is as a person.

Deep Water Prompt #804

A patient had broken out of the cryosleep ward, which definitely wasn’t possible.

Deep Water Prompt #807

They warned their son not to get too friendly with the elves in the back garden.

Text:  She was tracking a man who shouldn’t exist, in a part of the city that didn’t appear on any map.

Deep Water Prompt #811

Transformations were a monthly thing. She usually drove into an empty parking lot, locked the doors, and listened to smooth jazz until it was over.

Text:  I entered cryosleep on my ship, along with nineteen crew members. I woke up alone, in what looked like a gas station bathroom.
