A great Twitter thread on character-driven stories, character arcs, and agency by Naomi Hughes

In that weird place where I know exactly how I want to start Book Two, but that could change depending on rewrites!!

I started The Dark That Binds Us in 2015!

Five years!

I don’t have anything inspirational to say, I’m just shocked!

Sent TDTBU off to my editor.

I’m very proud of myself, but I have to remind myself that I need to rest and resting is crucial, especially with the current global health crisis.

I thought about starting another project, but I want to reject this idea that we all have to be “productive” during a time of collective trauma and fear.

It’s okay to rest!!!!

Hi, everyone!

Self-publishing is expensive. I have a good job, but it only pays once a month and a good chunk of that goes towards rent and bills, not leaving a whole lot left over for things like getting a cover designed, paying a content editor/sensitivity reader, and fees for printing physical copies of the book.

This series has been a labor of love for years, and I’m finally in a place in my life where I can see it through to the finished product. Please consider donating, or boosting for others to see!

Thank you so much!! ♥️

It’s that time!!!

My first novel is ready for an editor, but...I need to be able to pay that editor.

As it stands, it’ll cost $440 for a content edit! If each of my followers across my blogs donates even $1.00, that’ll help me out immensely!

Please consider donating to help get a young novel featuring queer characters of color out into the world! If you can’t donate, please reblog and spread the word!

is this metaphor good or really fucking pretentious, a novel by me

nicnacsnonsense

Is this passage emotionally gut-wrenching or am I just a disaster, a sequel by me

racketghost

will I dox myself with the amount of self-projection I am heaping on these characters, a follow-up novella.

heywriters

Stop talking about me.

My favorite type of characters are “they’re not dumb but they are a dumbass”

iamnmbr3

Characters with enough intellect and common sense to clearly and easily grasp that something is a Bad Idea, but with enough chaotic dumbass energy to decide they gotta just go ahead with it anyway are on point.
