My name is Willow (pen name!), I’m 29, she/they, and I write queer NA fantasy almost exclusively. Originally, I had my main WIP pinned, but I love all my children equally now, so I want to share them all with you below. If you’re also a writeblr who is over 18 and writes queer NA or YA fantasy, please feel free to reblog this intro and tell me about your WIPs! (:

WIPS

◈ TWO FOR MIRTH ↠ genre: medieval fantasy ↠ pov: first, past tense ↠ summary: Elaine is a young cleric and florist who spends most of her free time studying necromancy. When she discovers a body, perfectly preserved and entombed in trees and bushes, she is surprised, to say the least. When a stranger shows up to warn her against raising the body, she is dumbfounded. (this is a wlw romantasy mystery) ↠ pinterest -- spotify -- tag: #tfm

◈ LIGHT & DEATH (book 1 of a planned trilogy) ↠ genre: high fantasy, new adult ↠ pov: first, past tense ↠ summary: a girl with recurring nightmares witnesses a murder in her home that sends her on a journey across the desert to see her father. little does she know, her nightmares and that murder were connected to an ancient war that has been raging for centuries. (feat. an explicitly bisexual main character) ↠ pinterest -- spotify playlist -- tag: #lnd

◈ QUEEN OF DEATH ↠ genre: high-ish fantasy, YA/NA ↠ pov: first, past tense ↠ summary: in a world where certain bloodlines carry magic and world wars are waged to take control of them, raven is the firstborn daughter of lucia, the queen of death. when a small outlying island displays enough power to attempt to kidnap all eight known magic users at once, raven is forced to come to terms with her traumatic childhood while meeting with the person behind the crime. (this one's for my aro/ace fans) ↠ pinterest -- spotify playlist -- tag: #qod

◈ NOTHING BUT THIEVES ↠ genre: urban fantasy, new adult ↠ pov: third, past tense, maybe multiple povs ↠ summary: Four young vampires struggle in the back alleys of 1990s Las Vegas, until Roman, a vampire well-known throughout the city, offers them a deal: pull off one heist, and he can offer them fame, fortune, and comfort for the rest of their infinite lives. The catch? Every group he’s sent in before them has been killed, and they’re his last hope. (wlw, mlm, bisexual vampires with complicated relationships, need i say more?) ↠ pinterest -- spotify playlist -- tag: #nbt

Progress on TFM - Week 1

I'm working on Two for Mirth, a mystery sapphic romantasy standalone, for my (unaffiliated) Camp NaNo project this month. Here's where I'm at on draft 1:

Monday, 4/1: 2,692 words Tuesday, 4/2: 3,742 words Wednesday, 4/3: 0 words (Therapy took up my writing time) Thursday, 4/4: 1,769 words Friday, 4/5: 0 words (Mental health day)

TOTAL: 8,203 words

My goal for the month is 35k, and I'm well on my way to hitting that mark! I did write myself off-course a bit and now I need to re-write a few sections before I keep going, which is slightly frustrating. Somehow my characters just do whatever they want regardless of what I need them to be doing in order to progress the plot, anyone else have that problem? And feel free to reblog and let me know how your progress is going, too, Camp NaNo or otherwise!

Hello! Could I be added to the tag list for Two for Mirth and Nothing but Thieves, please? Thank you! I am absolutely ecstatic to see more about Eliza from Nothing but Thieves!

Of course, thank you! <3 Eliza's going to be my problematic fave as well, I'm afraid.

A reminder to all my lovely fellow writers: progress is progress, even when it isn't. Writing four thousand words in a session is progress. Writing a hundred words in a session is progress. Removing an entire scene because it doesn't flow well is progress. Rethinking your plan for the plot in order to get unstuck is progress. Development looks different for every writer and every story.

the urge to write is like a cat meowing for dear life for someone to open the goddamn door, who then shows utter disinterest in said open door

WOOF the dopamine rush of figuring out how to fix a plot hole with just a couple of easy paragraphs after agonizing over it for days, nothing like it

Quote of the day from my first draft of Two for Mirth, my mystery sapphic romantasy:

I took her in again, and barked out a laugh. “No, I don’t think the people here would take too kindly to leather pants and six daggers.” “Eight.” “What?” “Eight daggers.” "Oh. Well, eight, then. But you have a point."
