Attention Fantasy Writers!

I will make you a FREE, that’s right, 100% FREE, fantasy map for you to use for your WIP. No string attached.

I can do basic maps,

Maps with some scatter islands,

Maps with MORE (or less) scatter islands if you want,

You want me to mark some locations for you? I can do that!

Want me to add borders? Split up different kingdoms? I can do that!

Want me to add rivers? I’m on it!

Mountains? I got you covered babe.

Cool title of your fantasy world? Easy.

Just shoot me a message and we’ll work on making you a cool map for your story! With as much or as little as you want on it! You can even pick and choose features! You want maps and rivers but no locations marked? Sure! You want birders and locations but no mountains or rivers? I’ve got you covered!

(Just remember the more you want, the longer it will take.)

This weekend I have the time to make FIVE maps for people, so message me quick, the first five get a map!

( if you miss out this time, don’t worry, this offer WILL be brought back in the future!)

-Love, your writer mom. ❤

My Personal Character Files: The 6 Box Method

This is for my science fiction WIP, so some things may need to be added/modified depending on your genre. I will also include a screenshot of an example at the bottom so y’all can see how I set it up in my Doc.

1. The Quick Ref

I use this as the first page of my “Character FIles” Doc.

I put all my important characters in a list, then add their height, age, and the page their complete file can be found on. This is helpful when I need to know if a character would have to crane their neck upward to look another character in the eyes. Comes up more than I’d have guessed.

2. The Individual Profile: 6 Box Method

I add and subtract stuff based on how important the character is. Without further ado…

Box One: Reference Photo

This is where I add in any actor, model, drawing, etc that I base the look on. When I don’t need one, sometimes I’ll put in a picture that represents the character’s style.

Box Two: The Introduction

“The cutest.” I agree. “ And ya, it’s short for Munchkin because of his little legs.” I beam. Maybe I’ll actually make a friend. I notice she exhales the cigarette smoke away from me and munchkin. Awe, how nice. Either way, I’m going to be purchasing some very expensive air fresheners. 

Inquisitive about her story, I usher her on, getting comfortable with the remnants of my now cool hot chocolate in hand.

“ Basically, in a nutshell, my parents think I’m a disgusting fag and my girlfriend had sex with a guy and only dated me as a stupid bet.” I angrily huff with my eyes teary.

Knock, knock.

“Yes, but it can wait a few minutes. Just gotta be back within the hour,” Nina informed her as they turned the corner.

“ okay, awesome thanks so much. I really need this job so hopefully, I don’t say something incredibly rude but knowing me that's highly likely.”

missrosalyngrace:

Huh. She was younger than I thought she was. I wonder what her story is.

”Oh I am just fine.” I answer a little too high-pitched.”This is a regular hazard when I talk to any person ever. Anyways, my offer still stands. A cup of hot cocoa, a few batteries and a lighter that may or may not work.” I say, smiling reassuringly.

I jump as she replies to me. “okay if you say so, I’ll gladly take you up on that. Uh, what do you mean a hazard? if you don’t mind me asking. You seem cool.” I smile at her.

Knock, knock.

The Colorful Stages of Bruises: What’s Going on in There?

I thought this would be useful to those of us whump folk who write. :)

missrosalyngrace:

“Well you seem to have a place to live now, and a new friend if you want one.” I place my hand on her arm and give her a reassuring squeeze, “ And life is a journey, just because we did something in the past we’ere not proud of doesn’t mean we can’t move forward.” I give one more squeeze before letting go and begin to clear some of the dishes from my coffee table and wash them in my kitchen sink.

 “Do you know Veronica Mars?!” I call, hoping my voice makes it over the sound my obnoxiously loud sink.

“ Thanks, I would appreciate another friend right now ” I glance at her hand on my arm. I wasn’t expecting that. I see her suddenly get up and grab our cups. I awkwardly follow behind her. She suddenly yells out something. “ Dude! there's no need to yell. I’m here.” Veronica Mars? “ Veronica Mars? What’s that?”

Knock, knock.

nina-delarosa:

Nina got herself comfortable in the front seat, adjusting the mirrors and her chair. “Yeah, sure. And, I understand,” She reassured, although she really couldn’t help her judgements sometimes. “And no problem,”

She turned her head to the back. “You ready to go?”

“ Ready willing and able!” I two finger salute. “ Do you have anywhere to be?”
