Featured Story

The Ulman – A flash of light caught Telence’s eye. She froze, hand sitting over her release buckle, as a flashing light pieced the darkness, illuminating the hanging moss and thick trees that took up every inch of floor space.

Telence swallowed. That could only be one thing.
An Ulman itself.

Post it notes are my planning friend. So many hours have been spent moving the post its around, re-writing them when things don't make sense. It gives me the opportunity to flex my planner muscles but still keep my gardener approach which involves changing everything around to make things work.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ What do you use as your writing tools? Post it notes? Highlighters?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #writerslife #authorlife #authorslife #writerofinstagram #writersofig #amwriting #creativity #lovewriting⁠ #Fantasystory #fantasy #sciencefiction #scifi #fantasywriting

“I’m waiting,” Rane hissed, tapping his foot impatiently.⁠ Natre glared at him as she turned the dial on the safe.

How do you plan?⁠ ⁠ I love colours, especially when trying to link together different threads of the story across different characters. My trusty highlighters are always nearby, especially when I need to work out a complex part of the plot.⁠ ⁠ Do you use colour to plot? Or if not, how do you plot?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #writerslife #authorlife #authorslife #writerofinstagram #writersofig #amwriting #creativity #lovewriting⁠ #Fantasystory #fantasy #sciencefiction #scifi #fantasywriting⁠ #alexjcobalt #alexjcobaltauthor #alexjcobaltwriting⁠ #writingadvice #writingideas #plotting #creating #create #thoughts #thinking #writingblog #blogging #worldbuilding
