#oathswornproject — Public Fediverse posts

I've been getting stuck in over at Scribophile.com, and thanks to the critiques I've been getting, editing/rewriting has become a genuine joy for me! Here's something I made myself laugh with last night. #Writing #AmWriting #WritersOfMastodon #CreativeWriting #UrbanFantasy #DarkFantasy #OathSwornProject #OathswornTheNameless

The Nameless: Chapter 11 – Battle Plans

“Silver is anathema to them, like it is to most things that come through the breaches, so silver is how that flimsy little chain was able to trip that one up. The only downside is, it corrodes as soon as soon as it comes into contact with those sort of creatures; it’s a one-time use only thing.”

So I've been really, really slack at posting here - got a bit despondant at having to start from the bottom in terms of audience/readers. Decided to make a Wordpress site and upload the novel there! So here's chapter 4.

I haven't been to sleep yet so as far as I'm concerned it's still Wednesday so I'm allowed to do a little piece of worldbuilding: https://ko-fi.com/post/Worldbuilding-Wednesday-S6S4HS0SS

I DID IT I DID THE THING
Book 2 of the Oathsworn Trilogy, The Forgotten, is not 100% complete, but it has now exceeded 50,000 words! Check me out!

NOW I can go put on my winners hoodie 😁

#NaNoWriMo2022 Day 26: 45,023 words at 11:45pm.

Yeah alright, that'll do for tonight.

#WritingCommunity #Writing #WritingLife #WritersOfMastodon #AmWriting #OathswornProject

Hey, #WritingCommunity? I did 2,005 words tonight. I've run out of steam and I'm still behind, but that's 2k words I probably wouldn't have written without your encouragement.

Thank you 💜

“I name you: wyrm,” Mother spoke, and her voice was so flatly calm that it scared Foxglove more than her change in appearance. The lizard seemed to flinch at the name, bringing flaming wings around to batter at the Queen even as she held it firm. She didn’t even blink. “I name you: Firebird. I name you: Phoenix.” One sharp pull dragged the creatures head towards Mother, and she took hold of it with both hands. “Extinguish.”

Can someone bully me into doing some #Writing please? I'm 3.5k behind target for #NaNoWriMo2022 and the black dog seems to have hold of both my hands and is drooling on the keyboard.

#WritingCommunity #OathswornProject

Well, today was an excellent example of my compression gloves actually helping - I did one 20-minute sprint without them and oh boy, that sucked.

Still behind by about 2k words but I can get back on track for sure.

While I wait, let's do an #Introduction!

I'm Fen, a #Queer #Enby #Writer living in the UK. Currently taking part in my 2nd #NaNoWriMo, which you can track under #OathswornProject which I plan on maiking a trilogy! My current written #genres are #horror, #UrbanFantasy, with a little #PostApoc for flavour. I've also been known to write the occasional #Poem, and I #larp from time to time!

Nice to meet you!

Day 17 going into day 18, and I've reached 29,716 words on book 2 of #OathswornProject! Still on par for #NaNoWriMo2022 and feeling pretty pleased with myself for it.

Find myself paralysed on both books of the #OathswornProject for #NaNoWriMo - I think it's because I've never gotten this close to actually finishing a written project before, and... what if it's bad? What if no-one wants to publish it, never mind read it? Full of self doubts tonight. Somehow have to push through them and keep #Writing.

How's everyone else's NaNo projects going?

My WIP has been open for over 5 hours now and I have written NOTHING. Nada.

I don't even have a vague starting point of "oh I want to write about x but can't figure out where to start" I'm in full "don't know what to write. at all. no thoughts head empty magic roundabout elevator music" mode

So we're on book 2, primarily taking place in the Fae Wilds. What should I write about?

Hi #WritingCommunity! Just occurred to me that I should probably share some of my actual #writing and see if people here actually like it; I'm quite pleased with it, you see, and I'd really like to get it published one day.

So, here's what I have so far of book 1 of the #OathswornProject: The Nameless:

Well I've been so caught up with the WRITING part of #nanowrimo2022 that I haven't actually put anything I've written up yet (mostly because draft 0 and a lot of it is... well I'm trying to be kinder to myself let's put it that way)

But here's a bit that I'm quite pleased with, so up on Wattpad it's gone! #oathswornproject

Done with my shift, and I've had a good ol' poke around in the setting and so far I like what I see of this place!

I'm Fen, she/they, and I'm a writer, hoping to be published some day! You can track my work under my tag #oathswornproject - it's a big mish-mash of post-apoc, urban fantasy, and horror. Book one was the project for NaNoWriMo2020, book 2 is this year's!

Any other #writers out theredoing #NaNoWriMo2022 that I can follow?
