An aspiring #writer and #illustrator working on my first novel, Taming a Wellington Sun. I love writing Magical Realism and Regional Fiction about Wellington.

John Frusciante final. It was a good change of style. Might do a few more in the future

Merin & Kara. A character design of these two characters.

Before my novel will undergo a major edit on Dec 1. I decided to draw and sketch them during this month

The Mistress Harem (Arissa, Jessica, Merin & Mara)

I would personally give a big Thank You to @Garuvi_Studio for illustrating the characters of my novel.

[Oliver Dace @DaceOliver]

Sketching my characters is a good way to get over a rejection from an editor.

Will go back to finding editors after a few more sketches.

Possible titles for my a short story I am writing. The concept is simple. Grasses grow on people's skin during spring.

Still debating which one to choose

Saturday was a good night for me. The words tasted sweet. Paragraphs rolled out like condense milk from my lips to the page.

Wrote the first paragraph of my novel, Taming a #Wellington Sun, to kill some time. #authorlife #novel #writerslife #novel #nzwriter #writing #writer #magicalrealism #amwriting

[Oliver Dace @DaceOliver]

My way in writing #horror, #bodyhorror, is to depict the creature or the thing as grossly appealing. Something to lure the reader towards the creature or subject. It's a bit tricky but a good challenge.

The SpringBreeze. A short body horror story set in #wellington where grasses and various flora grow from people's bodies.

If there's one thing I learn about starting a story, it's not to trust the first idea. #amwriting #writing #writerslife #shortstory #

After going to my first writer's conference, i realize that an accountant is easier than a writer.

But im here for the long haul and as motivation, i made amother sketch of my filipina… https://t.co/iGFobqaDkl

Like to thank silvi illustration for drawing two prominent characters of my novel:

Merin Mistress and Jessica Franken

I had enjoy drawing my characters but to see artists design them. #illustration #writer #WritersLife #characterdesign #nzwriter

The opening sentence of my first novel.

Heavily inspired by the 1st sentence of Dante's Divine comedy, "In the middle of our life. I found myself lost in a dark wood."… https://t.co/emngJr4fT3

[Oliver Dace @DaceOliver]

Jessica Kay-Anne Jaena Franken. The tiny broody Filipina and the main protagonist of my novel. I have love-hate attitude towards her.
