An ancient secret, an oath bound in blood, and a title I’ve been mulling over forever... 🖤😵‍💫📚✒️

​I've officially decided that Book One of my adult dark fantasy series is called:

​🗡️ A Vow Etched in Raven Song 🗡️

​⚔️For everyone who's obsessed with flawed characters hiding secrets, heavy yearning, haunting and moody Gothic horror-fantasy vibes, and magic with devastating consequences...
This one's for you!

Dark fantasy lovers, what are you currently reading this weekend? 🖤🥀🕯

@Jobiskacindy Hahaha thank you!!

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

I just wanna sit down and write 😭🖋📚 but I'm like so behind on my chores today. Guess I'm workin double duty. Lol

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

@84_PuppetMaster Yeaahh 😭😭😭

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

Anyone else worry that your writing might be overly descriptive, as far as prose? Just me?

I am terrified of people losing interest in My story, just because I have very descriptive writing. But like... I LOVE writing like this, and the way an author writes descriptive prose will always be sooo interesting to me. I absolutely love reading all the detail and thoughts in the voice of the Characters. Especially the details of the world and lore, and who these affect the character and their opinions.

On that fine line of course... I'm not talking about exposition dumping, or completely pretentious purple prose.... just passionate description.

LIKE...??!?! Why WOULDNT I love to be more immersed in the world?

Idk though. I still worry... 😔

@84_PuppetMaster When I finish my drafting and edits, I'm definitely going to have a group of test readers and see what the feedback is. But until then, I'm just kinda suffering 🙃📚🖋😭

@lnmbeck Ahhh!! Those look soooo gooood!good!! Love me a good thinkin snack for when I'm writing lol

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

@Sub_stantially @KT_Carlisle I think the most surprising thing about it all has been how long the whole process can take!
Especially when the characters have specific traumas that I myself have been through. It makes the writing come slow lol 😮‍💨 but I'm getting there!

A cozy warm blanket, soft rain, a vanilla candle flickering, and a matcha-chai latte. 🍵🌧

Alt metal with double-bass, guttural lows, dark orchestral layers, and some nasty breakdowns. 🤘🔥

It's called ✨️balance✨️, sweetheart.

@super_reader3 Haha thank you! I mostly just went back and sifted through my open plot threads and realized that there was one that needed addressing soon, and it just so happened to fit where I was having a blockage lol
Some consequences for an earlier action by one of the characters lol

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

@MADarkforge Well it was more that it was time for one of the characters pasts to come back to haunt them lol and I had just overlooked it before

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

@ElChandler Mee toooo 😭😭😭 really been feeling this lately but I'm pushing through!! I need to see my baby (book) come to life!

Blessed be the writing we compose,
Honored be the knowledge that arose.
Peaceful be the dark that slowly creeps,
The shadows who comfort as the earth now sleeps.
Hear our voices as golden leaves scatter,
Echoing all with whom we gather.
​
May your inner fire burn clear and bright,
To light your path through sacred night.

From harvest to hearth, a blessing to all,
Blessed be the dark and holy Fall.

@0e7612adub88308 Yes I did!! 😊 I wanted to write a little blessing/ prayer/ poem for Samhain and kinda ended up hyperfocusing on it during my lunch lol
But omg thank you so much!!! 🖤✨️

[Corinne Knightley @WriteKnightley]

@HJames_Writes Lol I do that all the time!! Just literally create a beautiful piece of writing or description and then not really sure where you're gonna piece it in 🤣🖤
