Just because you, a white self-pubbed author, include many standard SFF elements in your novel - let’s say dragons or spaceships - it doesn’t give you the right to threaten POC authors also using them. This includes & is not limited to ‘the power of the sun’.

I’d more or less talked myself out of doing #revpit – I am 2 incomplete chpts short of a full draft, got all the other bits: logline, query letter, synopsis. I’ve got until Sunday night. So… Should I go for it? #WritingCommunity

Thanks for all the new followers! I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a mum of 2, writing SFF, with a background in film & landscape design. I’m currently querying my epic fantasy novel that has: - 3 kinds of magic - 🐉 & 🐅 - enemies to friends - slow 🔥 - Regency vibes

For anyone else who needs to remind themselves of this today: do not measure your success (or failure) by comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s journey is unique & different. Perseverance is key. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Well I did not expect I would have read that many books by now this year. 😍 I think they are all 5 star reads too! Dare I ask? How’s everyone else doing? 😅
