A minimalist illustration of a purple coffee mug steaming on a desk next to a pencil and a small potted plant.
A single sentence is a victory. It might not feel like much today, but those sentences add up to a world that did not exist before you sat down. You are a creator in every sense of the word. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #WritersOfBluesky #AmWriting #AuthorLife

This is Candy, the dog with eyebrows. Her owner told me that he does not like these Sharpie eyebrows on her. I asked him why she had the eyebrows if he did not like them.
"Because SHE likes them!" he told me. So there you have it.

15 pages to go on first round edit of WIP. Next will go quicker -- I think. Publication goal still in sight. #amwriting #WritersOfBlueSky
I've reached 80k in my YA wip. This action-packed story has kept me on my toes and pushed me out of my comfort zones as a #writer. I know the ending on the horizon. I just need to reach it...this week? 👀

The internal monologue is often what makes your main character feel REAL.
All about what an internal monologue is, how it falls flat, & how to make it work: youtu.be/gP8CFMxtEbs?...

#WordWeavers Apr 14: Do your MCs tend to run more optimistic or pessimistic about life?
It really depends on the character's arc, but generally, they tend to be more optimistic about life than me.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 14: Do you consciously work with syllabic stress to create rhythm?
I had to think about what this meant so much, I feel safe saying "No."

Not every scene needs to be long.
Every scene needs to change something.
If nothing shifts, the story stalls.
Do all your scenes have a purpose?

I write my love a #letter
For my new man loves me better
"Dear John," I start,
"It breaks my heart..."
"𝐻𝑒𝑟 heart?" scoffs formerly Cici's John
Of little brain and massive brawn
Then soothes his injured pride
With the naked lady by his side

How would your characters describe themselves?
Jokull would say he's loyal and reliable. Also stubborn when regarding his back.
Tezzy would say he rather help others first and his needs take a backseat.

Constraint, it turns out, is a surprisingly good creative motivator...Returning to corporate life is making me more intentional about my writing...

Digital handdrawn art by Macaron. The human woman Holly is holding two books by a bookshelf while the male demon D is leaning over her, shelving a book but resting his hand on her hip and chin on her head, he is obviously using the movement as an excuse to be affectionate. Light is coming through a rainy window, making the room lit softly.
Digital hand drawn illustration by Macaron. D, a demon male, lifts a sheet from Holly, a human female's, head. They are in a dusty attic with an open box of Halloween decorations including a jack o lantern and witch hat.
Digital hand drawn art. Character Evelyn, a short human woman disguised with horns and a tail, is standing at a bookwheel behind Az, a tall male demon with a stoic expression who is holding a book. They are surrounded by piles of books and a decorative keyhole like design in the background. The Mimic Malty is flying overhead in book form.
Digital hand drawn art. Az, a fancily dressed male demon, sits broodingly on a boulder as Evelyn, a human woman disguised with horns and a tail, sits smiling gently looking at him from a boulder above. There's a starry sky with tree silhouettes and an aurora borealis, and four betta fish floating in a dreamlike atmosphere.
It's #portfolioday!
I'm Macaron, artist and writer since spring '22! I am creating the stories of my original characters Holly & D, and Evelyn & Az through illustrations and webnovels.
