Day 30: #FantasyIndiesJune #JuneThrills
It's been a pretty good month. For the last few days I've been writing again (which feels amazing) and I had a good couple vendors markets.
Here's hoping July goes just as well!

Thanks to @jadeblack21.bsky.social and @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social for another wonderful month!
Had a rough month personally, but did manage to plan up a new project to challenge me!
Junethrills day 29 who gets taken advantage of the most?
#JuneThrills
Lewis is my guy who gets most taken advantage of. He is a living doormat.
Charlie has experienced a lot of advantage-taking in her past, as well, and is very defensive about it now.
Day 29: #JuneThrills
I'm noticing a pattern this weekπ€£π€£ but Scion (again)
He's such a sweetheart, but doesn't recognize when people are using him. He wants to make everyone happy and there are certain groups who take advantage of that (coughQueenHestiacough)

Day 28: #JuneThrills
This is why Quinn and several members of the royal council don't get along. He wants to act and they want to debate π

π€£π€£
This is literally Brianβs primary personality trait as far as Talia is concerned! π€£π€£π
Heβs the deuteragonist of the mystery, her former best friend, and she kinda hates him. His lack of urgency clashes with her impatience.
Day 27. Free Friday.
I'm so excited for people to read my Tales of the Grim Reaper series.

Day 27: #JuneThrills
PTW is my favourite example of balance in my writing. Because of the dual POV the reader gets to see the detective and the main suspects perspectives so they can draw their own conclusions regarding who did it.
@jadeblack21.bsky.social
Day 26: #JuneThrills
Scion is my poor hesitant boy.
Having been raised by an overbearing mother and in Quinn's shadow, he struggles to come out as his own person. Often this leads him to hesitate at key points.

Day 24: #JuneThrills
Scion sucked in a shaky breath. βIt's you! Why is Quinnβs messenger here? Listening to royal business. I could have you arrested.β
βI have my reasons, and you could try arresting me, I guarantee it will go worse for you.β
@jadeblack21.bsky.social
Day 23: #JuneThrills
Scion is indecisive. He's nervous and overthinks his options until hes paralyzed.

I donβt have any overly creative cusser's. Kaz probably cusses the most out of my characters, so maybe him?

π€ In my Archers of St. Sebastian series, the boys keep themselves to a few mild expletives β but ...
one of the names he calls Taran in Masters becomes a running joke/theme, so much so that I name a later section of the book after it!

Day 21: #JuneThrills
In PTW Kaz has a few unexpected scenes where he's rather amusing. Most of the time I aimed for him to be comedic relief, but there are a few chapters where he went above and beyond.

Raven's occasionally empathy has caught me off guard a few times. He's not usually empathetic, but apparently there is a heart in there... or he's good at acting π

Day 19: #JuneThrills
In Ungovernables the Researcher comes across as mirthless. He does feel joy and excitement but his poker face is unmatched (until he gets angry π€£)

Just a phrase that delighted me from my worldbuilding notes.
"Not the most beloved of grapes, but makes a decent wine in the hands of a skilled vitner; enough to be worth stocking the knee-level shelves at the shops.
A working-man's grape."

Why do I love being an #IndieAuthor?
Because you can write a quasi-historical, YA-ish romantic adventure chock full of references to Orlando Furioso β and not care at all about whether or not it'll be marketable! π
