The air hung cold and sharp, tinged with the metallic tang of wild, untamed magic and the eerie crackle of necrotic energy that clung to Ykril like a shadow. Our sanctuary beneath the lifeless obsidian pillar was an odd haven—a silent bubble where magic and life seemed to drain away, a stillness amid the chaotic storm of the Scar Network. In this void, the chill radiating from Ykril was paradoxically the warmest comfort.

The cold, gray dawn crept in, bringing no respite from the lingering tension of the night. A damp fog clung to the air, softening the edges of the forest that hugged the shoreline in a ghostly embrace.

There is a moment in every story where the characters stop doing what you told them to. It feels like losing control, but it is actually the story coming alive. The plan was scaffolding. Once the characters start making their own choices, your job shifts from director to guide. Follow them. The places you did not plan are usually the best ones. Writing tip of the day. 🙌

Characters Caught Between Worlds.
Two Worlds, One Story.

Characters caught between worlds stand in a space where two different parts of their lives pull at them at the same time.

Behavior in Worldbuilding.
A character’s habits tell us what kind of world shaped them. They show what people value, fear, and expect from one another.

Help Me Decide-2: #BookCover Finalist

Wednesday, June 6, 2026

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited my midweek post to help me choose a book cover for my upcoming nonfiction book.  It’s a resource book for authors, but it has loads of 1920s details for trivia lovers, and anyone who simply thinks the Roaring Twenties are the cat’s pajamas!

Previously I showed four cover concepts.  Click here for that post.  The fourth option was the most popular.  It was also my pick (probably…) because it used the same flapper silhouette as another book in the “Author Tool Chest” series, Speak Flapper. 

Still feeling the pull to explore ideas, I’ve made one more concept — this one based on that most popular concept.  So today, I’m showing those two.  For your reference, I’ve showed all of the other related books at the top of this post. 

The Previous Idea

Gold flapper dancing

One More Idea

Because everyone “got” my idea with the typewriter, I made it more prominent.  The book covers a wide range of 1920s details for any character in a Roaring Twenties setting.  So, to show that the book is about more than “flapper girls” I used a man and a woman.

Which of these two do you think works best for the book?  Your constructive feedback is welcome.  I hope your weekend is the bee’s knees!  Hugs.
