Big news coming soon...!

@SusanSavageLee1 One of my characters, Raven Valethorn.

She started out in a minor role as the daughter of the swordmaster, and he offers my MC to marry her later. Now, she lives her life in a fairytale, is head over heels for the MC, and joins the main cast in Book 5! She's full of color now!

@AuthorGFAllen I started writing my main series in high school, and it was supposed to take place roughly a decade in the future. I published it once, then released it with a different publisher with a ton of reworking. Cut to today, and it's now almost a decade in the past 😅

@KupcakeProse Nobody directly, but many villainous characters get a sprinkling of people i don't get along with or have directly argued with 🤣

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@StephenSwartz1 I haven't gotten or given myself the challenge to write other books *yet*, but I'm far too invested in my current series to deviate 🤣

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

Does anyone else give themselves writing challenges? Things to write that scare you or that you're inexperienced with?

For my fifth novel, I challenged myself to write a spicy scene from the female perspective. For my fourth, it was to write something tragic without death.

@mrmikeMTL Physically, burnt my hand on a wok handle that had been over a maxed roaring flame, then had to get the burn cut open when it got infected.

Emotionally, when my best friend was killed by a drunk driver 7 years ago

@DollyT222027 I had shirts and pins made for my first book. Not much traction yet, but it satisfied a dream i had about the shirts 🤣

@yourpaperquest The first novel in my series:

@ajvanbelle One of my own old favorites was a weird mix of autocorrect and writing on a phone at the time - corrected "Ricker's fangs" to "Ricker's ganja" and I didn't notice it for a while

@author_VV I mostly follow back if I don't see something about selling in their immediate blurb. But I've also followed back a ton of bots and just don't care anymore. Nobody is going to add me and instantly DM me about anything important anyway, right?

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@talishammas Latest compliments have included my spicy scenes, my grief writing, and plot twists!

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@BowlersReviews I wish I could, but my books contain multiple worlds and would need a minimum of 6-7 maps per book! My page count is already pushing it 😅

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@finalboyo Thank you!

@Linnaeus_Writer I do a lot of different side povs after the first book in my series. One of my funnest to write is Kai Stele, womanizer and actor with a surprisingly difficult past, plus a tendency for deceit and acting out of personal interest. Also can be quite passionate when he cares

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@aubrey_vale1313 I mix these a bit in my books. The initial vibe is to explore worlds searching for someone, then it's getting stronger and gathering allies, then it's searching for answers about his past. After book 3, the pace slows and I get to spend time worldbuilding over longer periods!

[Anthony Mercier @SovereignSoul7]

@TheaLanden I haven't applied a name to it yet, but there's a massive ocean in the always-raining world of Rune. It gets stormy there, making the cliffs surrounding it - and the only path to the old Siegma Archives - extremely treacherous. That, and there's a MASSIVE sea serpent living there
