5 things you will probably find in most of my books: - a late-bloomer lesbian (seriously how did I not see this pattern until after I came out) - a scrappy futch with anxiety - angst over a dead/dying parent - moments of sweeping interiority where I break the rules about no run-on sentences - CATS

Apparently my blockhammer aura is too effective, it takes an assist to lure them out 😆

A cyberpunk prison industrial complex mirroring the horrors of our current reality? In this economy? (yes) 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #WriteSky

All right, I feel like playing a bit of bot account whack-a-mole, #BookSky, let's go... *whispers*: "beta reader"

- Revealing the whys and hows of their education and career trajectories (Kallista aimed to follow her dad into the Navy from a very early age, but I know less about how and why Geni wanted to be a medical doctor, in terms of how that was an early seed in her childhood) 3/3

- Mummy/daddy issues (and I kinda love all four of the parents I've written for different reasons so this would be fun lol) - Latent lesbian feelings but probably not quite understanding what that is (unless I'm writing them around the age of puberty) - Family pets!! 2/3

#LGBTQWriteAThon goal share A bit of change in rhythm this week, I hope, after my usual items... 🎭 keep up with theatre admin, 1x rehearsal 🏴‍☠️ revise A Prayer for the Pirate Queen every day I can manage 🌊 go on a little 4-day trip with my girlfriend 🥰

#AwesomeCharacters I'm not too sure, which is why I haven't done it yet 😅 (and I've already written a prequel for Kallista and Geni ten years before they met) I would have to find *the point* of why I would write it, but it would probably have a lot of: 1/3

Oh, yeah, I should probably promote my writing. It's free to read and quite popular... The Elf Who Would Become A Dragon is a work of literary fantasy that nevertheless reached #1 Best Ongoing Story on Royal Road. Read now: rrtewwbad.ljamberfantasy.com

5 things you will probably find in most of my books: - non-human / vampire perspectives - deeply complex characters with muddy moral compasses - gallows humor - gothic vibes / darkly beautiful aesthetic - first person POV Tell me your 5 things!

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters If you set a prequel story in the childhood of your characters, what type of story would it be? And how different from the main story? (If they are currently children, feel free to pick a major adult character) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
