Happy to report 1200 new words in The Adventures of Inigo Lampon

Looking for writers in Queens, NY interested in in-person discussions on writing and wips

Remember that the hardliners are only 30%; tharlt we just need to convince a few to change their opinions and stop drinking the koolaid. We can recover.

Been concentrating on poetry - commemorative for some milestone birthdays. Back to fiction prose this weekend!

Night sky with "The Moonshadow Rising Duology" written across the top. The fantasy book cover for Moonshadow's Guardian, with a woman walking toward a castle under a night sky, is on the right. The fantasy book cover for Moonshadow's Champion, with a woman holding a sword walking toward the reader through a spiral of red and purple sparks, is on the left. In the centre it says “Join Riana on a quest for freedom and healing for herself and the kingdom she loves”

1000 words in the last two days. Inigo meets the Fogman and is presented with choices.

Life has interrupted my writing. But I wrote a poem last night! Looking for a great, productive summer!

Prompts for Fantasy Indies April. Today's is what do you want to improve in your writing.

#fantasyindiesapril 16 and 17. Fun fact Inigo spends the entire story being alternately surprised and scared. Improve? Definitely my consistency.

Prompts for Fantasy Indies April. Today's - songs that rem8nd you of your wip.

#fantasyindiesapril 14. Castle Walls by Styx. Inigo is "far beyond the castle walls"

Me, please!

Prompts for Fantasy Indies April. Today's - mc's childhood.

#fantasyindiesapril 13. Inigo had a childhood at court. Well-educated and privileged he has no business being in the Endless Swamp - except that to go back would mean prison, or worse.

How can you rescue what you hold most dear, when to do so you must break your vows?

Day 11: My early stories

I wrote lots of short stories in primary and high school, many were contemporary and set in South Africa. In college: a graphic novel called The Lunar Born, and Norse Myth retellings.

FantasyIndiesApril prompts. Today's is when did you first start writing stories.

#fantasyindiesapril 11. I started writing stories almost as soon as I could form the letters. By 9 or 10 I had my own newspaper - with two subscribers, my mom and my dad.

Prompts for Fantasy Indies April. Today's is exploration.

#fantasyindiesapril 10. Exploration. The entire Inigo saga is one of exploration. Think of Inigo as a kind of inept Marco Polo who is fortunate and funny and terrified by turns.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Prompts for Fantasy Indies April. Today's - what do your characters take for granted.

#fantasyindiesapril 9 Inigo takes for granted that things will always work out. He never articulates this. Pira, Fark, and Lammon all think they are in control. (Spoiler - they're not).

Fantasy Indies April promps. Today 8s do you reread books.

#fantasyindiesapril 8. Rarely. But sometimes forvthose books I really enjoyed a long time ago.
