@page_of_fantasy Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver, or the Arrows of the Queen trilogy by Mercedes Lackey (or any Mercedes Lackey books really, but those are a good place to start). 😊

"From a young age, she learned to walk with broken legs, and built her shelter from the ruins of a crumbled home."

@DNicholsAuthor If we count short stories with no semblance of logic made when I learned how to write, 20 years. 😊

"Weary feet travelled the well-worn path to his house, almost reluctantly. Every day it became harder to look at her. Harder to watch her grief and know that it was his fault. That he had brought this tragedy to their doorstep."

(4/4) Sometimes it takes a village... or just a small library with good staff ❤️

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

(1/4) I grew up in a household with a lot of kids- It's not really relevant other than the fact that it meant my mother used to leave us at the library when she went grocery shopping, letting the librarian look after us.

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

(3/4) And before you get all in arms about leaving a person on a job to keep an eye on kids, she didn't mind. We were very well behaved and the library was very small with only one exit, in a town where there were hours with no visitors to the library.

This is still one of my favourite things I've painted, just because of the transitions ❤️

"The old forester bit the inside of his cheek as he filled in the grave, hands shaking with emotion. The sun was setting and already it was dark beneath the old oak; so dark you could not see the other graves. But Jack Rye knew they were there."

Short story scetched at work, during the summer holiday slow streak 😊 Very rough draft, may do a more finished digital version if I have the time.

@K_Lykkebo Cute ❤️

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@K_Lykkebo Honest talk, I keep the documents open while listening to podcasts or TV shows after dinner. Some days I get a bunch down, other times I get half a paragraph or nothing.
I can't edit at all when I get home from work, so I try to get that in before work, or during weekends.

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@K_Lykkebo I tell myself it's either writing or doing the dishes - Whichever I end up doing is a win regardless.

You?

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@K_Lykkebo Honestly, if I didn't have work I wouldn't get out of bed either.

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@K_Lykkebo I wake up early so I have time to shower, drink coffee, eat breakfast, and write before work without stress. Mostly because I know that by the time I get home I'll be so tired I won't get much done other than dinner.

Lately I top my coffee off with cocoa.
It helps.

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@EliseWritesYA Or I listen to soundtracks from movies I like, or find stock images and put down my own "story" behind it - Most writers are like ravens. We collect shiny bits and pieces, string and buttons, a coin and a clockwork piece, and then we put them together into our own treasure.

[G. Talmont @Talmont_Writes]

@EliseWritesYA I start by putting down a concept, and then an outline. No need for good ideas in the first outline, just, bare-boned actions. Then as I write it out, the ideas should come. If they don't they usually come along when editing the first draft, or the second.

@AnitaSimonsen8D I hope to get some updates at least 😁🍅
