Because today’s #authorschallenge2020 calls for a good #riddle, and because fairies love riddles. If you’ve got me, you want to share me; if you share me, you haven’t kept me. What am I? #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU25yOgEc4/?igshid=4g0bbenxtkx

Show me your character's dating site profile ❤ Maybe someone else's character will swipe right! Mine is in the comments. Ideas on things to include: *What they're looking for- a hookup of what gender, just friends, something long-term *Their hobbies *What would their ideal date involve *What do they want in a partner *What are absolute deal breakers *What they bring to the table *If you've got character art, share it as their profile pic Stole this #writingprompt from Fantasy Writers Support group on Facebook. It was too fun not to share. #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPfh_uAE2P/?igshid=1o0jl0nzjoqvg

“What the fuck is wrong with me?” she said, louder than she meant too.             A few startled birds took flight from the nearby trees. If the birds had an answer to her query, they kept it to themselves.             Petra stomped a few more paces and then looked back over her shoulder. Cerbi padded silently behind her, her paws not disturbing any of the twigs or leaves underfoot.             “Do you know what the fuck is wrong with me?” Petra yelled at the dog. “Is that one of your super powers?”             Cerbi only stared back at her.             “Guess not.”             The trees to either side of the path became more dense the further she moved down the trail. In most places the tree tops converged overhead, creating a canopy of green that shielded the path from the view of anyone or anything flying above. When the trail came to a fork, she chose the left side at random, but not before tearing a piece of bark off a tree to mark where she’d been.             “I don’t even like him,” she said.             Cerbi was walking next to her now, and Petra appreciated having the pretext of talking to the dog to cling to, instead of fully accepting the reality that she was tearing through the rapidly darkening woods, ranting to herself like a crazy person. #authorschallenge2020 demands a dialogue with a pet. Does the Biblical Beast of the Apocalypse count as a pet? #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPbSuigM3H/?igshid=1kzg8g2i7l0lc

Here’s 5 #writingprompts for the #authorschallenge2020 of the day. I busted out my “Writers Toolbox” and spun/drew up some prompts. Let’s play! 1.First game is Sixth Sense Cards - write for five minutes on whatever “a half-eaten tangerine” brings to mind. 2.Next up is the Protagonist Game. You protagonist is Liz, who writes books. She gets special training to write the Great American Novel (#relatable), and the obstacle in her way is her mother. 3.Protagonist Game round 2! Joy, from the rock band buys a new wardrobe to be the great seducer. The obstacle in her way is Fred, the monster. 4 and 5 - Pick Up Prompts- follow the prompts on the popsicle sticks. Green is your first sentence, brown is your last sentence, and blue is the non sequitur you have to work in somehow. #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNiQWlA2C8/?igshid=rwickpue29hc

Today’s #authorschallenge2020 is #Culture I’ve explored. Sadly I can’t say I’ve done much exploring myself (travel is expensive!) So I’m going to share one I’ve read about that I’ve always found fascinating. The Mosuo ethnic group in China practices a kinship arrangement called zouhon or “walking marriages”. Mom lives with her parents, siblings, and children. At night, Dad comes and has a sleepover with Mom, then goes back to his own house (with his parents and siblings) in the morning. Mom’s brother essentially serves as the children’s father figure, whereas Dad is relegated to the “guy who sometimes brings the kids candy” status. Meanwhile Dad’s busy serving as the father figure to his sister’s kids. Walking marriages are a friendly reminder that all kinds of other kinship patterns exist besides “Mom and Dad practice a monogamous relationship and live together with their kids.” As a fantasy writer who gets to make up whatever culture I want, why stick with American style kinship? Here’s a cool article on it from PBS https://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2005/07/introduction_tolinks.html #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKkfo6AL7K/?igshid=1bafir8nfl3sg

#authorschallenge2020 got me over here cleaning my desk... Here's a peek at my #writingdesk. It's an ancient oak roll top I stole from my husband and hauled from one side of the country to the other. It's got everything! A goldfish bowl full of champagne corks (one for each book), a copy of Naughty Words for Nice Writers by @authorcarabristol (cannot reccomend it enough), big eraser (for big mistakes), tiny stake (for tiny vampires) many many fidget toys, 2 fairies (points if you can spot them!), a picture of my 2 favorite guys, and a set up so ergonomic it makes my orthopedic surgeon proud. #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy #worldbuilding (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIcaNtATc8/?igshid=7i81y6tmwi4k

            “I thought it would be me,” Follium said in a small voice. “I thought I’d be the one he was pledging to be with forever some day.”             Del’s eyes narrowed. “You know, if you fuck up my best friend’s marriage, you and Raiker are going to be together forever in a shallow grave.”             Follium snorted.             “Don’t laugh at me like I’m kidding,” Del cautioned. “There’s a lot of holes in the desert. Lotta problems in those holes.” #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCtHY2A03Y/?igshid=jtkgt59lmh82

Two years of setting "The Fairy Thief" aside before I picked it up again and decided it was worth finishing. 94,192 words written. Eight wonderful beta readers who whipped my draft into shape. One and a half years of querying publishes. 115 queries sent. 43 rejection letters. One publishing offer. I am beyond thrilled to announce that “The Fairy Thief” is being published by Dreaming Big Publications, and will be available for sale around September of 2022. #justkeepswimming #stubbornAF #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbykYrgOzu/?igshid=hmma9ht4astl

At what point do I cross the threshold from "persistent" to "stubborn"? 😅 #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #paidinexposure #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2D8dtJsq-/?igshid=1twoc8ia26q88

As far as I'm concerned, this speech is 100% part of your duty as maid of honor. 💒👰🚘             “You okay?” Del asked.             Petra knocked back the little vodka bottle and then nodded. “It’s just pre-wedding jitters, I guess.”             “Is it jitters, or is it your brain telling you to run?”             “Del!” Lottie smack her on the arm.             Del ignored her. She sat down on the bench and took Petra’s hands in hers. “Hey, Petralein, look at me.”             Petra focused in on Del’s intense gaze.             “I’m not gonna tell you what to do,” Del said, “but if you say the word, we can cut through the Virginia Scott Gallery and then through the Conservatory. We take the bus exit instead of the main one. I’m parked right in that southwest corner, and there’s a change of clothes and overnight bag for you in my trunk.” #maidofhonor #bffs #greatfriendswillhelpyouhideabody #maidofhonorduties #writerslife #writersofinstagram #romance #fairytale #fairy #fae #urbanfantasy #fantasy #paranormal #modernfantasy #thefairythief #paidinexposure #canteatexposure #reccomendedreading #thiswriterslife #amwriting #writedrunkeditsober (at Colington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4snh8J80x/?igshid=ttn113xaws96

A freelance photographer and filmmaker 'going out of my mind' because of many issues involving people being asked to work for free.  Let’s  change this culture, and frankly we all need some help.

We need an creative's bill of rights! Let's all not work for less than $300 a day and rights to their work. Can we rally a force that will say no to nothing? Can we trade? Let's make it more let's unite!

I'm working on a project called "Can't Eat Exposure". It's a film, an artist revolution and amazing cause. My doctor recommended that I 'flip the ‘bird' to anyone who asks me to work for free. I sent this photo in a promo email I sent out to 10k+creatives, I need some help to see this through. We need to rally an army of peace. All you need are fingers to do it. Let's chat in person about this! I need people power, and lots of funding.

I will be sending this attachment out to anyone who requests wage-slavery! That's d-baggery. Feel free to do the same! This is some risky business!

Here is a hashtag to help rally the troops. Any other suggestions welcome!  #canteatexposure
