I find it hard to post consistently. Social media as a whole is demotivating for me. Scheduling posts, planning content, etc. sucks up so much energy, even when it's about stories I'm passionate about. If you struggle with this, how do you handle it?

Naia can shift between liquid and solid, so they are extremely evasive. They are usually non-violent, though they will drown assailants who threaten them, their kin, and or those who live in their territory. Their sense of motion and flow makes them entrancing dancers.

This novel draft is for a romantasy/traumantasy βΊοΈ
Naia, or water elementals, watch over fresh bodies of water. They can shift at will to a solid body or liquid. Naia can live as long as their source exists, but they can die from unnatural causes. They draw strength from how large and old their source is.

Accidentally made myself cry writing a scene today about grief. It's moments like that when I wonder if it's something that specifically makes me emotional, or if it's going to deeply resonate with other people.

I also forget to feed my mortal form, so cheese toastie with tomato (soup) is going into the rotation.
People flock to the libraries to read histories and stories that were lost when armies moved through other cities.
The wildflowers and glasshouses draw bees and other pollinators, like moon moths. Honey collected from apiaries are used to make cakes and candies.

It's only a matter of time and number of packages.
Spouse w/ heavy box: Your books came in!
Me: What books?
The ones you ordered?
These??? (looks at stack next to me)
(We both stare in silence at mystery box.)
...Friends. It was bulk hand soap.
A delivery with my name on it = books he's happy to bring me
I love him SO MUCH.

Averill is home to revered blacksmiths, but they are prohibited from providing weapons to Eltara or Grevea. They haven't traded with Grevea for roughly 15 years due to violence towards Averill's residents.
Building materials are frequently imported.

The river that Nereya presides over as a Naia (water elemental) runs through Averill. She prevents it from flooding, maintains crop irrigation, and planned the city with the use of wells and fountains in mind.

CONGRATULATIONS AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT FREAKING OUT OR ANYTHING THINKING ABOUT HOW FAR AWAY DECEMBER IS
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I'm excited beyond words for you, and for all of us to be able to read this!!!
It was also Nereya's home (she's the water elemental of the river that runs through the city) before it was populated, so she has a hard time letting go and her mate stands beside her.
They're tired and are planning on stepping down so Ferren can take over. The people trust them to a detrimental degree and love them as individuals which makes it hard to transition authority to anyone else. Delegating tasks has helped, but the city continues to grow so the work does too.
Nereya and Nyxos, Ferren's parents and Averill's founders, run the council. Their meetings are open to the public for transparency and input. All councillors are heavily involved in the community. Though seats are elected, the citizens won't let Nyx and Reya step down.

Averill, Ferren's home: a neutral city amidst a war-torn land. All aspects (races)βbeast, elemental, and commonβlive in harmony here.
It's a place of learning, art, and a sanctuary for anyone who seeks a second chance. To keep soldiers out, it is walled off.

Luck received and gratefully accepted! π€β¨
Hard saaaaame.
Unfortunatey for this series, it's multiple characters for multiple books in many locations. I have SO. MANY. NOTES.
What have I done? π₯²
As someone who avoids exhausting social circles, remind me to never again write characters who play 5d chess with political maneuvering and status climbing.
I'm mentally in a corner with Silus while people throw around veiled insults and threats. We both hate it here.

Thank you for thinking of me! This book sounds amazing and original π₯°
Update: I chopped 60k/80k from my 2nd draft after figuring out how to outline. First half is now its own novel.
Draft 2.5 is in progress. The story feels like it's knitting itself together now. There's at least a trilogy here π¬
I'm writing as fast as I can!
