#Novmemeber 8 Your cast is doing a heist. Assign the following roles: mastermind, brawn, distraction, security expert, getaway driver. Feel free to bring in secondary characters, or assign multiple roles per character. Are there even more roles in your cast (tech whiz, explosives, etc)?

#QueerWriters I've been busy writing, I was supposed to go on a research trip today but the chronics overpowered me last night. I've made a start on a strange erotic novella, and returned to the gym! So it's been a great week for the most part!

#Novmemeber 7 Using a GIF, show us your Main Character at the start of their story. How's life going for them? What's their job? What are they like? You decide how to represent them, and whether we get an explanation or not! (be sure to add alt text)

I've got a small town romance in the works, and it's less of a meet-cute, and more of a meet-"oh no this is the guy that got away and I've been sat here for five minutes petting his cat without realising"

#Novmemeber I feel like this is one of the songs that embodies the WIP best (and also has been serving as a bit of inspiration for the part I've been working on of late) youtu.be/_RHap8fvka8?...

#Novmemeber 6 Share a song that reminds you of your WIP. It could relate to the plot, your inspiration, or just vibes 🎶

I've made myself hungry by way of pizza, so I fear I must have pizza soon. Ruby's order is chicken, mushroom, and "a fuckton of sweetcorn". Marko calls it "The Sweetcorn Abomination". I am a massive slut for sweetcorn btw

CW// homophobia, transphobia OH SO HERE IS THE SECTION 28 STORY For those not aware, Section 28 banned local authorities and schools from "promoting homosexuality". So in 2001, I entered puberty at 9. The classmates decided it was fun to call me "gay" and "tr*nny" for absolutely no reason.

Now I want to know your childhood villain origin story. What radicalised you as a child? What filled you with a rage that lasted a lifetime?

So at a birthday party, I won a game of musical chairs. Except the parents decided to redo the last round so that I would end up losing it Wasn't even the other girl's birthday, otherwise it'd have been fine

Steven Perkins@stevenperkins.bsky.social · last wk.

please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

#Novmemeber The true antagonist in Juniper Wharf is a spoiler so we'll go for the second in command, Reina! - She's ambitious - She wants equality for all, I guess? - A woman who wants to change the political landscape - Will tell the truth when questioned

#Novmemeber 5 Yeah, your Antagonist has flaws, but what are some green flags of theirs? 🟩 Can't think of any/not applicable to your villain? What would THEY say are their green flags? Not a person, but a construct/idea? What do proponents say?

I've just drafted the first two chapters, it's going exactly as you'd expect

#Novmemeber Everyone is always waiting for Garrot to say something out of pocket. He thinks he's breaking the fourth wall, or stealing steering wheels, or showing off his tea collection. Oh, the tea collection...

#Novmemeber 4 Are there any inside jokes or references in your WIP? Share one (or a few)!

#Novmemeber All of these suit Ruby so well as she navigates the fuckery that is her life

#Novmemeber 3 Share a meme that summarizes your Main Character. Their personality, their journey—you decide! (Remember to use alt text)

#AwesomeCharacters ooh here's a thread! So I usually find names I like and stick them on characters. Garrot was named by my fiance as well. With Mela (Book 3) her full first name is Mehlaahdeigh (pronounced Melody, she got it legally changed to Mela) My placeholder used to be variations of Marcus

#Novmemeber It was hard to think of just one GIF but with Misfits being one of the main inspirations for Juniper Wharf, this fits

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to change the name of the Juniper Wharf series, because as it stands, only Book 1 and a chapter of Book 2 take place in Juniper Wharf itself. I'm workshopping some ideas so we'll see?

Having blood in Sam Altman is a terrible use of limited resources and it would be better utilized in not-Sam Altman.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · last wk.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers "From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

I'm looking at the part of my writing that prompted this post. Honestly, it needs to be way more concise, so that's my plan for tonight. I know it's not the way to draft, but my mind won't hush until I've edited this portion

Tonight is a night where I hate my writing This will pass, but it sucks when this happens

#LGBTQWriteAThon I've always been drawn to dragons, mostly since I grew up playing Spyro the Dragon! Although I do have a soft spot for vampires when the mood strikes!

#LGBTQWriteAThon Garrot loves hoarding plastic skeletons, but he is aware that they are bad for the environment (but it's not as if locally-sourced skeletons are ethical either)... Ruby, however, enjoys watching horror films. Sometimes alone. Always in the dark.
