You know, while I'm on the subject, I think a really fascinating thing about Infernal Serenade is knowledge of the soul, accuracy wise, is basically in reverse to what you'd respect. An old scholar has more accurate information on souls than any modern spiritual or religious beliefs about the soul, because there was no societal pressure to come to one conclusion, nor would it be quickly dismissed like that type of thought often is in modern times.
I made the community. Let me know if you want an invite!

Hi peeps! As I work on Every Hero Needs a Villain, do y'all want me to make the community for it so you can see some funny behind the scenes stuff and potentially certain bios as I make them? You can also make suggestions for stuff there if you want. Trying to encourage myself to complete them.

Hi hi! For the most part, I've finished the hero side of the worldbuilding. I mostly just have to think of more holidays. Anyways, here are the categories of heroes for anyone interested (keep in mind this is a draft that needs more polish):
Commons - Heroes that represent common hopes and dreams.
Pinnacles - Heroes that represent hopes that are achievable, but need a lot of work to become reality, and depend highly on the direction of the future. This can include heroes that represent concepts like world peace or futuristic technology.
Ambitions - Heroes that represent hopes and dreams that are more personal, such as hopes for one's family, personal goals, and so on.
Unattainables - Heroes that represent human desires or dreams which can not be attained. Some are obvious like those based on things like flying or shape shifting dreams, while others are more abstract and connect to humans attempting to disregard their humanity.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. I just meant focus wise.
Happy storyteller saturday! What are you most looking forward to writing in your current WIP?
Honestly? No idea. I don't think like that. I don't (usually) have a scene, a specific character, or even a theme when I start a story. I have the seed of an idea and just write. Thanks for the ask.

The time has come to send my baby into the unknown and let it be perceived.
I am in search of ALPHA READERS to read and give feedback on the second draft of my manuscript.
The Tomb’s Whisper is a new adult fantasy that you can read about here.
The Details
You will be given access to my complete manuscript and a list of questions to guide your feedback.
I am looking for a one month turnaround for a 70k manuscript, but I can be flexible on deadlines as long as there is open communication.
In return, I am willing to offer my services as alpha or beta reader, or read and comment on a piece of your choosing.
What I Need
Detailed feedback on pacing, plot, character development, character dynamics, and overall impressions.
What I Am Not Looking For
An editor. This is a second draft, grammar and structure will be iffy in places and we all have to live with that.
Reviewers. This is a second draft and my first ever novel-length work. I am not claiming to be Brandon Sanderson.
If you are interested, please fill out this Google Form to sign up! I will reach out to everyone personally to confirm details.
Throwing the tag list on here in case you want to spread the word: @outpost51 @writernopal @avrablake @writingrosesonneptune @theroseempress (please ask to be +/-)
Speaking of, tempted to make a community myself, but since I have a variety of unconnected works, I have no idea what that would be a community for. Kind of reminds me of the idea I had to try and get myself posting again, mainly making like, a sort of dating sim kind of group of characters to play around with.
Y'all want me to make object head people for you to kiss? SFUIHSFU
Original characters are really just a random assortment of personality traits and physical features taken from myself, from people I saw on the street, and from my favourite characters from other people.
I am continuing to work on Every Hero Needs a Villain and I am super happy to announce that I'm actually making great progress when it comes to both hero and villain descriptions. Each category has six, with each hero having a villain and vice versa. I hope I've gotten a good spattering of personalities for people to enjoy this way.
Here's a snippet from Straight Shooter's, a cowboy object head:
He can inspire a state of restfulness depending on the color of his scarf. Red is for physical restfulness, purple is mental restfulness, blue is emotional restfulness, green is spiritual restfulness, yellow is instinct restfulness, and sometimes he has a rare rainbow of all these colors. Yet, to do so, he too must also achieve this restfulness for himself.

It's time for another writing update. Still working on Every Hero Needs a Villain, my object head project. I'm making my way through the character bios. I am trying to just get the basics down, then I'll go over them again and add more personality. Here's Spark's description, because I thought it was cute:
They have a gently yellow and ruffled lamp shade with a lighter and brighter light bulb on their head. They typically wear a skirt that matches paired with a lighter blouse or suit top. Their clothes typically having a shimmering or glittery component to them. They sometimes wear different lamp shades for different effects, having a particular fondness for colorful glass lamp shades for special events, or cloth dotted lamp shades when they're feeling cute. Sometimes they don't even wear a lamp shade for emphasis.
I definitely want to edit it for readability, but so far so good! I hope to have all the bios down by the end of the week, and will notify y'all on Sunday if this is the case.

You know that saying, only I can be mean to my brother/sister. The same thing goes for friends, and I kind of think it's hilarious that the people we trust the most in the world are the kind of people that will torture us the most. I can only imagine what another race would think...
Alien: what are they doing?
Human *looks over to where two girls are giggling as they walk along the edge of the roof, keeping one guy trapped between them*: So, Caiden's afraid of heights.
Alien *nods*: that is a logical reaction to a height that could kill you if you fall. Your body has evolved correctly.
Human *shakes his head*: Well, Wren and Jess found out and now they are torturing him. They won't let him off the edge until he walks the entire side.
Alien: Is this an intimidation tactic?
*both girls giggle loudly*
Human: believe it or not, it's a sign of friendship.
Alien: ...to force one's body to react in a fight or flight response?
Human *shrugs*: to make your friends miserable at your expense.
Alien *takes step away*: we are not friends. To be clear.
