Day 17 of #WIPjoy. What was the first thing I knew about my setting or world? The first thing I knew about my world was that there was a group of women who possessed magic and who would do anything to keep men under their heel and without magic of their own. #amwriting #writing #fantasybooks #fantasy #amwritingfantasy #darkfantasy #books

Also, Happy Easter to those who are celebrating, and a happy and blessed day to those celebrating Ostara as well. May your day be filled with love, family, and fun.

What with hosting the event yesterday, I missed my #WIPjoy post, but I'll just pick back up today. For day 16, how would I describe my story's setting? It's mostly a forested countryside with large portions of it taking place within either a large, stone citadel backed up to the ocean or the central palace in the heart of the bustling capital city.

I missed yesterday's #WIPjoy so I'll do that now. Day 13 was letting an antagonist share their greatest they. From Desdemona: "My greatest regret is not bringing my child with me when I ran. I was young and scared, but he was a toddler and still needed his mother. The way he was treated by his father... The only consolation I have is that he would have been treated far worse here in the citadel." #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantasy #fantasy #books

Day 11 of #WIPjoy is to let a side character tell you about the most pain (physical or emotional) they've been in. From Quiz: "When I still lived in the north, still sailed, my friend, Gull, sailed with me. We were friends since we were kids, growing up in the king's court, making fun of the princes behind their back. *He chuckles and grins a gap-toothed smile* and when they king took to the sea, we both signed up to go. When we came to Athera, we hit the taverns for some relaxation. Two days in, I'm minding my business and having a drink, and an ox of a man hits me from behind. Turns out, I had supposedly been with his wife. If he was goin' to kill me over it, it'd be nice to at least have the memories of doing it. Gull had never been one to care whether his conquests were married or not. Turns out he didn't care about throwing me in the mud so he didn't get himself killed. That pain was the worst emotional pain I've been through. Now, I won't tell you about the physical pains I survived through in the Pit when they arrested me. That's a little too gruesome." #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantasy #fantasy #fantasybooks #books

#WIPjoy day 10 is to let the antagonist share their happiest memory. In Devouring, Erebus actually plays quite a large part, so I'll let him share with you. "My life has been like trying to walk through a pit of sand vipers. Then Verin came along, and he introduced the sicarius (and extremely venomous breed of spider with a large range of venom that do all manner of terrible things to humans) to the vipers. Then Lumi came and shed light into that pit, and they all scurried back to their holes. *He sighs and tips his head back to look at the ceiling* She was chained up, but the shackles couldn't stop her hold in her snark. Oh, she hated me. *He chuckles and grins, bearing his pointed teeth* I've never had a woman talk to me the way she did. I fell in love with her with the first insult." There you go, Erebus' happiest memory in his own words. #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantasy #fantasy #fantasybooks #books

#WIPjoy day 9. From the MC: most awkward memory. From the mouth of Zahir: Chained to a horse, completely naked, staring at the woman I fall for. Try telling that story to the kids one day. Maymay and Abo (words for mommy and daddy in his own language) met when Maymay murdered the lady holding Abo hostage. Then she left me there. *He rolls his eyes* #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantast #fantasybooks #books

#WIPjoy day 8. If you like Joe Abercrombie and Brent Weeks, you'll like my Obsidian Embers Trilogy. I've also had more than one reader tell me Kindling, the first book in this series, reminds them of Game of Thrones. #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantasy #fantasybooks #books

#WIPjoy day 6. Describe something for each of the senses. This was kind of difficult. Sight: The sweeping plains of the northern countries. Tall, golden grass swaying in the wind, wispy clouds skimming across the pale sky. Smell: Smoke curling from the burning embers of the oak hovels, mingling with the salt breeze from the ocean nearby to burn your throat. Taste: Blood, coppery on your tongue. Touch: A cold hand on your chest, fingers like ice, nails cutting into your flesh. Sound: A scream piercing through the still air.

I forgot I was doing this #WIPjoy yesterday, so here's my two days worth of posts. Day 1: My WIP is Devouring. It's the third book in the Obsidian Embers Trilogy and centers around the conflict between the rebels and the Order coming to a head. Day 2: Introduce my main character. I'll focus on Zahir, but I write from other POVs. Zahir is a former desert nomad who finds himself imprisoned upon entering Ashet, the capital city of the country of Athera. After that, through mishaps and misfortune, he gets mixed up in the rebel side of a fight he didn't even know exists, let alone want to be a part of. But by book three, he's fully invested in the outcome.
