#EroticMusings 63: Do you create cultures, ethnicities, or even sentient species for your work? How do you go about it?
I do, and it's just a part of the natural world-building process for me. I come from the background of playing #TTRPG stuff and a lot of #DnD, but with my own homebrews, so this comes naturally for me. I'm a game master, which means I run the campaigns and stories that my players enjoy. The process itself might look a little bit different for various stories, but the end result is always the same. They're my creations.

Revision thing nobody warns you about: the scene you're proudest of is usually the one holding the chapter hostage. It's doing beautiful work for itself and nothing for the story. Cut one this week. I feel like I cut my own arm. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #AmEditing

Just had one hell of an idea for Book 2 of the Bloodbound Legacy Series. I knew it was going to be about Caden (who's a vampire), but I wasn't sure exactly what his story would be or where it would go. Imagine that he becomes enamored with a local Wraith, Phantom, or Spectre (I haven't decided yet on the lore or the creature's species name, but he'll be a more corporeal and tangible spirit). Since Caden was a character that was vaguely based on Crowley from Good Omens, just for a friend of mine, I could make said creature a good/light-hearted, fun, loving, caring one (a bit like Aziraphale). Maybe he even loves books and occupies a library in Moray, Scotland. Haunting a bit, making friends, etc. They could fall in love. Why not do a full dedication of sorts for a friend? We would be the only people who knew where the inspiration actually came from lol.
Let me know what you guys think... Yay? Nay? I really like it, to be honest. 🤔

What's a trope you enjoy writing, even if it's unpopular?One of my favorites are The Hidden World, Enemies to lovers, and Second Chances tropes. They always make me happy. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/21: What’s a mistake you see a lot of writers make when writing about people with your lived experience?
This one bothers me a lot. I see a lot of books (and shows and films) where people with MS are always wheelchair-bound. Not all of us are, thank you very much. Everyone with MS is so different. And of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a wheelchair user. In fact, there's nothing wrong with any of it. But please, consider all of us with MS, the entire spectrum of patients.
Edit: I have to add that @dickrubin716's writing is exactly what I want to see more of in the world. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :11111:
