Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Hypothetical day today! You and your character find yourselves in a bit of trouble (what type is up to you). They turn to you, smile and say: "Don't worry, I've got an idea." How comforted are you? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#QueerCharChat From the preceding question, Jane’s mood continues to descend into darker places. “The last time I saw my mother… I hurt her.” Her eyes focus on her left hand. “A part of me worries that if I try to speak to her… it’ll happen again.” #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

#QueerCharChat | September 22, 2026 This question is helps your character learn if they are able to accept responsibility for something they did that hurt another. It can help them identify if perhaps pride, fear of rejection, or shame stops them from apologizing. #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

22 September 2026
Who do you owe the biggest apology to, and why haven't you given it?

#WIPSnips Liz is a survivor of an event known as the Ashes of Ambros, which nearly wiped out her race. Jane knew it would be hard for her to return there. But what she didn't know, was how complicated and distorted Liz's thoughts about it had become. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Liz sobbed, her tears trickling down her cheeks as she dropped to her knees. “I wanted this… I wanted them all to burn in hell! I wanted them gone, out of my life forever… And… I got it. So why? Why does it fucking hurt?”

Oh… It’s so much worse than I thought…

I moved beside her, and gently rubbed her back. “Because you don’t mean it,” I answered. “I’m sure there were plenty of people you cared about. Friends? Coworkers? You mentioned you dated a lot, didn’t you? There were plenty in Ambros that you didn’t want to see ‘burn in hell.’ You’re just… trying not to think about them. It’s easier that way, isn’t it? Lying to yourself. Saying that this is what you wanted...”

Liz grasped at the ground, her fingers digging into the soil. “Just… wipe it all away. Let me forget, damn it!”

Her words tugged at my heart, but I couldn't let them drag me down with her. I had to stay grounded and firm, for her sake. “No. I’m not letting you end up the way I found you. Just… talk to me. Please. You need to grieve, the same way you did for your sister. A single breakdown isn’t going to just make things better overnight; you can’t just cheat your way through this. You need time to heal.”

#AwesomeCharacters [Sorta Spoilers] Jane's story has a second major POV character in later books. There are also two others that get POV scenes as early as book 1. The first is obvious. The other is a bit subtle. I will not say who, when, or why. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#QueerCharChat Jane noticeably flinches. “Though I’ll apologize, I won’t ask for forgiveness. I feel like asking for it is selfish, it just makes it about 𝑚𝑒. It doesn’t make the pain I’ve caused go away. But if they need my help, I will give it freely.” #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

#SongsOfSeptember There is a singular song in the series. I haven't written it yet, as it's pretty far in, and the lyrics don't really matter as much as the sentimental meaning behind it. It's the only song that Spiral knows how to play on her guitar. It's special to her, and to one other person.

Day 21

Any musical characters or plot beats in your story?

“And a song someone sings, once upon a December.”
(Lyrics from Once Upon a December from Anastasia)

#AwesomeCharacters Jane is seen as a very gentle and kind young woman. Liz is seen as fiery, passionate, and strong. Spiral is seen a playful and friendly, sometimes even seductive. Cam is seen as stoic and logical. Lusana is seen as a grumpy bitch. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Okay, so my back/neck are going easy on me today. Can actually find a few comfortable positions. Gonna take the day to rest under a weighted blanket and play Fire Emblem. Hopefully that'll keep my body from beating itself up any more. Always seems to happen when the seasons change. Stupid muscles.

#QueerCharChat Jane sighs. “Ok, look… I understand what you mean by this question, but as a Princess, I must make it clear that I cannot be bribed in any serious manner. If it’s a bribe in a not-serious sense, then… cookies. Or a rare book that I don’t have.” #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

What completely innocent or mundane thing can you be easily bribed with?

#AwesomeCharacters Jane's moment is in her past. It's hinted in book 1, and revealed in book 2. Liz's moment was in the past. The Ashes. Lusana's moment was in the past, a major topic of book 2. Arthur's is extremely far back, revealed in book 2. 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SongsOfSeptember
Day 19

Let’s Duet: A song that fits 2 or more characters platonically?

“My time with you has been splendid, the best day of my life. ‘Cause I got in a fight and I didn’t die! :D I’ve never been strong before. You’re my friend, I couldn’t ask for more.”
(Lyrics from We'll Be Fine from Epic: The Musical)

#QueerCharChat Jane ponders the question. "Well, if it's to save a life, then I'd think up the shortest and simplest song I can think of. So... Maybe 'Happy Birthday'? Or the Alphabet song? There's no way I would risk anything more complicated." #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

Black Cat Book Nook@blackcatbooknook.bsky.social · 4d ago

#QueerCharChat | September 19, 2026 This question can help your character understand their memory and confidence. It is also just a really fun icebreaker for trying to decide what your character would remember in song form. #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting

If you were forced to sing a song right now to save your life (and get at least 90% of it right), what song is it?

#FaveLineFriday "No wonder you've become so attached to her," she teased. Bonus Q: They make a cookie cake. Jane is booted out so that it can reach the judges without her sneaking a bite. #writingprompts

As the door opened, I was left stunned by Vanna's outfit. Heels and fishnet stockings, a black miniskirt and a red corset, a full face of makeup. Her hair back in a ponytail, a bit hastily done, with strands having fallen out of her hair tie. If I hadn't known any better, I'd say she was dressed like a whore.

To be fair, she pulled it off spectacularly…

After a moment, I came to the realization that we were all just staring at each other without speaking. A wide-eyed look of uncomfortableness was frozen on her face as she slowly closed the door. The moment it latched, Erina let out a snickering chuckle.

"No wonder you've become so attached to her," she teased.

Cam had to hold his breath to keep from laughing.

#QueerWritersChat I don't sit down and sprint through the pages like I used to. Recently they've become an all-day process of switching back and forth between writing and resting. I'm sure that once I hit editing stages it'll be full steam again, usually resting before, and sometime in the middle.
