[L.L. Kingsfield - Author @LLKingsfield]

30/60 chapters all wrapped up on my final pass of edits. After four years of writing, editing, and learning how deep the rabbit hole goes, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I think it's about time I started using this page. Expect updates on works-in-progress, book spotlights, and whatever else I feel like posting.

Currently on the home stretch of line edits for my debut grimdark fantasy novel: The Starved Light.

What are YOU working on?

@Dragon_lord_1 Thank you for this @Dragon_lord_1 ❤️

@authorlisaadair Congratulations! 🎉

@GiorgosKilo I tend to aim for 80-140k words, depending on number of chapters and what the story requires. I'm a die-hard plotter, so I tend to have a word goal in mind before any real writing is done.

@JennyLeeTong Thanks Jenny!

[L.L. Kingsfield - Author @LLKingsfield]

@siporacoffelt @davewestfall_1 Done and done! Thanks for the follow ☺️

@jodyjsperling Probably a more fantasy/sci-fi (or at least fiction) related answer, and it's something I do already when funds permit, but... concept artist, for sure.

@saratoninwriter The second to last chapter of my first book had me genuinely upset, despite being a diehard plotter who knew it was coming, haha.

@JWillows_Author Night time for sure. Between pets, children, and grown up... children, there're way too many distractions during the day.

@klhicks912 Two. Writing one, about a third of the way done, and doing (endless) editing passes for another when the mood strikes.

@ericammarks Thanks, Erica!

@Wrestling_Words There are two across the series - Raine & Pellinore. ('Queen' in French, and a king from Arthurian legend respectively).

@Wrestling_Words A Pokemon fan-fic (I was probably 8), because I'd watched the 3-4 VHS tapes we had enough times to get sick of them.

I've been quietly following and building a following (for which I'm very grateful ♡) for a bit now. Time to actually tweet something. What a time to be alive!

Current WIP just hit 35k words. Part one ✓

@goodreads Mistborn - The Final Empire. Michael Kramer has THE perfect voice for something so gritty. Perfectly cast.
