#JulyThrills day 27 Dance wears green, & is a gardener, so I think it's safe to say he likes green. He's not in my main WIP though, & I don't plan to publish Healing's Stand.

What the hell, let's do this. 30 days, 30 facts about my MC, courtesy of @AlexLuco_ Day 01: Lina is from a small village called Nevri. That's the setting of Coward, so if you wanna get to know it better, read it. It's short and cheap.

#fantasyindiesjuly Day 27 I tend to underwrite. My alpha reader leaves lots of notes saying “MORE!” 😂 Hosts: @LydiaVRussell and I @FantasyIndies

#FantasyIndiesJuly 25: Saturday Snippet: Confession Back from vacation, so here's a quick catch-up. Most confessions in THE RILL LORD are spoilers but this one is just fun.

#fantasyindiesjuly I think I'm definitely an overwriter.

#Fantasyindiesjuly @ChesneyInfalt @LydiaVRussell Day 27: Do you underwrite or overwrite? Recently my chapters have expanded by a few hundred words with description and dialogue. Sometimes I shave off unnecessary or redundant sentences.
