Monthly wrap-up
- finished final read of Mielea's Lost. Minor formatting needs to be done so it's uniform.

Well I kind of fell off because of vacation and low mental bandwidth lately.
Did finish three stories and now I'm working on editing the next book.

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 My son is dressing up as Hat Man this year. For those of you who don't know who he is (because I didn't!), it the shared hallucination people see when they take too much Benadryl.
Thanks @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Ghoulish greetings and happy Halloween!
We celebrate this spooky (and sometimes cooky) holiday with continuing work on our 2nd book, Chasing Shadows, where we see how the dark smothers the light.

It has come to my attention (I looked at the image in full for once) that the proper tag for this is #FantasyIndiesSpooktober. Well, oops.
I've already committed, lol, so I'm sticking it out for the last two days!
Day 30:
Is my MC brave?
Hell yeah they are.
#silverleaf
#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 30
Yup. He doesn't want to be, he just wants to relax and be a scholar, but there is too much going on in the galaxy to let him rest on his laurels. He won't stop doing what needs to be done, on either side of the grave.
Day 30 #FantasyIndiesSpooktober
Absolutely. Arlise faces down the most horrific monstrosities in the world, day in and day out, to shield the defenseless. “Brave” is an understatement.

Day 30 of #FantasyIndiesSpooktober
Yes, I think the Pythiai in my Oracle of Delphi series WIP are brave. They lived in a time when they had little freedom - yet more than most women - and had less power than the lowest man. Yet they were highly valued for speaking truths.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 30
Aspasia, the MC, is brave as best as she can be. But bravery doesn't mean fearless. To be fearless would be foolish. So Aspasia is scared at heart but braves herself as best she can to survive the haunting horrors of the night.

Daniel racing towards the necromancer while launching a fireball attack. He came in with a fiiiirrrebaall. (Is this reference too old?)
30. What an excellent time to share a snapshot from my most recent episode! I think we can agree that Daniel is very brave (or very foolish).

30. Is the MC brave?
Yes, but only because he was trained to turn fear into strength. He generally picks fight over flight and will unflinchingly stand between you and whatever might threaten you.
That's not to say he wouldn't be terrified doing so.
Fantasy Indies Spooktober Is your MC brave?
#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 30
Without question, but she's still human.
Thalia handles stressful situations by making fun of them. She has a guardian persona. If there is someone she needs to protect, they overwrite her fear.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 30:
Elysia usually weighs up the pros and cons before she thinks about acting, unless it’s somebody she cares for, then it’s a case of only fools rush in. She does have a deep sense of duty, and she’s more than likely to help the needy. 💖
FantasyIndies day 30 is MC brave?
#FantasyIndiesSpooktober
Jack has what he thinks are reasonable fears, but he's no scaredycat.
Charlie is utterly fearless (borderline total idiot) except a few specific phobias and triggers.
Helena is scared of a lot, just not what other people are scared of.
Talia is fearless within reason.
