Had some unexpected free time this morning so read through about 35 pages of #ZendariaChronicles. There are bits of this book that make me want to scream (politics and plot holes big enough to stick a fist through) but also so many bits where I'm like, yeah, I got this 💪
A clear glass jar with four coloured plastic beads inside sits on top of a notebook above an illuminated keyboard
For reasons, I would rather eat my own hands than re-read #ZendariaChronicles. Enter the bribe jar: 1 chapter read = 1 bead = 1 sprint I get to spend on more actively creative stuff.
Also enter: my 4yo, who asks "Have you done your chapters?!" then slips me extra beads anyway
The "casualties" in #ZendariaChronicles continue to mount 🤣
Annette used to have 2 sisters, Helena/Bairn and Maegret, in addition to her 2 brothers, Benjamin/Moose and Jacob/Jakus. Maximilian had 6 or 7 kids?? Now he has 1, lol.
Basically they weren't adding anything to the story, so ✂️

Lp - I find it incredibly funny that out of all the ships and romances I've written, Hawke x Varric are the only ones I'd class as soulmates, and they are 100% "besties who bone".
Maybe Raya x Gabi x Mari from #ZendariaChronicles, but no-one else comes close to this haha
From #ZendariaChronicles, Feb 15: "never"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
It's been a long time (since last year) but me, my printed copy of #ZendariaChronicles and this packet of Nairn's Oaty Biscuit Breaks are sat down and "ready" to go
In #ZendariaChronicles, Annette goes by anything BUT her full name, which is for "births, deaths, and important paperwork in between" 📃 She goes by Nan, Nani (close friends and family) or Cameron (her family name). She also has a sign name which is a C followed by sparks

Annette is poly and has two LIs in #ZendariaChronicles:
With her BFF James (established relationship) it was probably the first time she had a chronic illness flare after meeting him and he brought her soup unprompted.
With Asch (new flame), it's when he answers her Important Call.
Another #ZendariaChronicles snippet for #WIPSnips today:
The big holiday that makes an appearance in #ZendariaChronicles is Cording. It's a custom from the planet Elastor where friends, family and neighbours cut threads from their colours (like tartan) and braid them into bracelets to promote community in the coming year
#QueerWritersChat
Up in the middle of the night, so hey✌️🏳️🌈 I'm Abi, she/her but gender non-committal. Currently on a read through of my queer AF, blue collar space opera #ZendariaChronicles
#QueerWritersChat
Ugh, I need to gush about one of the main relationships in this book: Annette and James (27F/28M, both kinda pan*/poly and he's a little genderqueer) 🥰 Their connection and love is so pure and raw, even if it's not "traditional"
*James is pansexual/heteroromantic

Reading through beta stuff for my main original fiction WIP and I want to bite my skin off. Thanks. I hate it here ✌️
(Feedback is fine, I just have typical ND brain soup)
#WritingLife #ZendariaChronicles
Tried to find a better example, but the FMC Annette in #ZendariaChronicles spends a vast proportion of the book sweaty, mucky or both.
