ATTENTION ALL INDIE AUTHOR FANS:

I am writing a novel series called Clockwork by J.A.R.L. (my pen name). It is a diverse and detailed series that has a wide range of characters with different identities, ethnicities, disabilities, etc. All of the main characters are queer except for the villain (way to cishet-code the villain lol), and most of the characters are POC. It talks about trauma, mental health, neurodivergencies, and queerness a lot, and it has many different genres, including action adventure fantasy romance dystopian steampunk and a little bit of a fear element during certain scenes. It will be 13+, although it's intended audience is young adults and older teens. I am very proud of it and will probably post a lot about it.

The gender non confirming urge to write a fantasy romance about being welcomed into a group of powerful hot men and being worshipped as a goddess

Abbotsford House, formerly the residence of historical novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott, near Melrose, Scotland

So basically I had a dream, where a family that had make a deal with the devil, but refuse to sacrifice their child after the devil granted their wishes which violent their deal.

So the family members, one by one die tragically till they gave up and kill their daughter which at the time was only a teenager.

The daughter was sent to a big house,mansion like where all the beauty lives together in their own “fantasy” room. And Satan would visit from time to time, so basically it’s personal harem of satan. #bearwithme.

So basically, the daughter start to settle in her new life, the good news is her dog that died because of the deal was also in hell with her. So her adventure begin, when the satan don’t visit them, they are free to roaming around the hell.

So basically it’s like normal city where people hang out, buy thing and not really hell like beside the dark sky and reddish ground.

The girl going out one day to the town with the dog, but lost the dog because she don’t have leash on him(the dog) , so basically the girl search for the doggo which happened to be hanging out with his new friend(a horse) . And boom she meet her prince just like that.

They start slow but slowly feeling is growing stronger, during those time they spend together, the people around start to notice and warn her to stop.

Once the news reach the Satan, the man is cursed to lost all his power and status(which wouldn’t you know it, a literal prince)

The close family member of the prince are grieving and planning to revenged.

By the night the plan is executed, a news that Satan has been defeated roaming the hell realm. And you guess it, the prince comes back for his girl.

But now the girl have to choose between her humanity or her love(because you know, bride of King of hell has bad sound to it)

Drama, drama and drama, ( surprisingly the prince is understanding and very loving) till one day the girl’s personal servant(the dog now have shapeshifter ability,thanks to the king) volunteer to go into the past and seek what happened to the original queen of hell.

So basically, the spirit of very wise old man, that turn out to be the guard of eden garden （no one found out) explain what it’s mean to have power and what it mean to be bad and good.

So basically what the old man want to say is it is not where you are that make you bad or good, it is the action that you took, king of hell doesn’t mean he is bad, it’s just mean he is the strongest in the hell realm and that’s also true in human and heaven realm(it’s old Chinese belief)

So after a journey to eden garden, the girl decided to accept the proposal and become the queen of hell.

The end

Had rough semester and yesterday my body basically give up on me, I sleep all day. Like literally all day, I only wake up in the afternoon to eat piece a bread and then sleep till again till 8pm I only wake up regularly to pee and drink. 24hours and I only wake up 5times.

Thanks for the tag! I really liked your snippet, and now I wanna know more about the monster. Let's do this! This is from my upcoming debut novel, The Tengu And The Angel!

...

I take a deep, shuddering breath. “Alright, let’s get to the point. Why did you want to see me?” 

She inhales sharply, and her back arches like she’s about to puke. “I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”

My blood freezes. “You’re…Sorry?”

She grabs another fistful of chips. “I should have appreciated you more when you were with me. When you left, I was absolutely screwed.”

I shake my head, unable to believe what I’m hearing. “I don’t understand.”

Now, who should I tag? I don't have enough followers to tag nine people lol, so I'm tagging...Everyone who sees this, and wants to do it!

When people asked [Philo] why an attorney-slash-fixer needed combat training, he didn’t know what to tell them.

The alleyway was narrow enough to block out the neon glare of the main streets, casting malicious shadows on the walls. Even in the darkness, [he] knew his opponent wasn’t there.

“Come out, ▮▮▮▮▮, I thought you wanted a fight,” Philo taunted, advancing deeper into the shadow.

A low snarl answered him, stopping him in his tracks immediately. In the next moment, something had lunged its full body at him. In the moment following that, the attacker was on the ground. Black blood gushed out of the wounds caused by Philo’s gun, the monster writhing and whining its way to death.

Spineless, Philo thought with disgust.

Caress the detail, the divine detail

Vladimir Nabokov

Jean Genet (1910 - 1986)

As a fantasy writer, I love to have my cake and eat it too, but a vampire inherently needs to drink human blood or else they're not a vampire, they're just a raw food nut. Otherwise every supernatural romance is basically just about dating the Liver King.

"Gujarat Files" by Rana Ayyub presents in-depth interviews with those responsible for maintaining law and order in the State of Gujarat during the pogrom of 2002 when about a thousand Muslims were killed. Rana went as an undercover journalist to Gujarat in 2010 and stayed there for eight months. What she has unearthed is not surprising as hearsay from the State of Gujarat always pointed to the complicity of the then State Government and senior officials in the organising and spreading of riots in the state but what she presents very succinctly is irrefutable evidence of this compliance.

I had the pleasure of zooming with the author TJ Klune who writes queer books (most notable The House in the Cerulean Sea), he said that he had started his writing career writing fanfics. Just more proof that it is a valid point of writing and everyone needs to start somewhere. Even if you don’t go anywhere big with writing, you are still a writer because you write beautiful words that you put effort into. ❤️

Psst hey!! Over here!

Fic writers and original story writers are the same!

Writing fanfics doesn't make you any less of a writer!

Yall are just gatekeepers. Stop being assholes. There's room for everyone!

I made my first ever quiz!! 

I get it, fanfic writers aren't novelists. But Nobody posts fanfic writing tips so they often use novelist tips. So that weird but scary fact you want to keep from the novelists...you should keep from the fanfic writers. They're just as scary.

You write a novel.

Everyone loves the novel.

Someone makes a movie based off your novel.

Your favorite actor is cast in the movie based on your novel.

You become best friends with said actor.

It can’t happen if you don’t sit your ass down and write your novel.
