I sent the end of Book 1 to my in-person critique group yesterday. I expect there will be some adjusting necessary, though I am interested to see how they feel about the ending as they’ve read the whole book, whereas
WriYe and Writing Characters
Howdy, howdy, squiders. I got a flat tire today, which is a pain in the ass. Siiiiiigh. Hole in the sidewall, so no repairs for me. But anyway. WriYe’s September prompt is: What type of characters do you like writing?
Don’t Store Things on Tumblr
Howdy, squiders, how are you? So far so good on my front. I’ve gotten through my query research (and goodness, I’m going to have to figure out comps, and I can’t think of any YA fantasy I’ve read recently that
