So excited to have a story in the Super Natural Beings Anthology Volume 2, Myths to Monsters!!!!
Isn't the cover gorgeous?
Big thanks to @missmikkinoble for organizing and publishing this great anthology to promote fiction authors!
#TheMerryWriter w/ @RPoli3 & @AriMeghlen Day 13:
Favorite character name changes constantly, but today I'm going with Alucard Tepes.
His name flows well and you wouldn't guess right away that the first name is Dracula backwards tl show he stands opposite his father's ideals.
#SmoreWords Day 11: Weekly goals!
I'm doing a lot of writing and formatting at work so my goal is to give myself permission not to do the same at home.
Maybe I'll beat two more chapters in my Fire Emblem game (fantasy research?) and make some homemade donuts instead!
#TheMerryWriter w/ @RPoli3 & @AriMeghlen Day 11: Do I like my name?
I love my name. My full name is Abby and I was named after my grandfather which makes me love the name even more.
Though if you call me Abigail, I have no issues shanking you :)
#TheMerryWriter w/ @AriMeghlen & @RPoli3 Day 8:
Given the choice, my MC would pick the desert path with possible quicksand.
1. Because they've never seen quicksand and are curious
2. Because killer fish seem like a terrible way to die
3. Quicksand seems more survivable

#TheMerryWriter w/ @AriMeghlen & @RPoli3 Day 7: what would my MC do if stranded on a desert island?
1. Catalogue everything abandoned with them.
2. Find a fresh water source.
3. Debate for at least 15 min if the water source is safe before drinking it.
4. Build a base!
#Themerrywriter Day 6:
My MC: F@$%, I need to buy hiking shoes and a jacket for this? Doubt the thrift store has any. This counts at their next birthday present.
F@$%ing mountains. Couldn't get kidnapped to the beach or someplace on the rail line, right?
#SmoreWords Day 5: Creatures!
In my stories, I've had werewolves, witches, Gods, fates, dragons, curse-born, and magical creatures.
My current story includes fae, but is his sister just imagining them or are they real?
#TheMerryWriter w/ @AriMeghlen & @RPoli3 Day 5:
Offered the chance to explore the deep sea?
He'd politely pass on the offer. He'd rather stay home and reread 10,000 leagues under the sea with a splash of scotch or cup of tea then go out and do it himself.
#SmoreWords Day 4: Weekly goals!
-Get all the apples into jars
-Not push myself too much since I have some late nights for work this week
-Switch my closet over to fall and winter!

That better be a plant nursery because he can handle watering, though he might get overwhelmed by customers and start ignoring them.
If it's babies and kids, that place is going to be shut down in less than a week!
#TheMerryWriter Day 1 w/@RPoli3 & @AriMeghlen:
Hey!! I'm Abby. Rural fantasy and non-fiction short story writer who occasionally tries to work on a novel.
My MC is from a small rural town. They don't like to say where cause then people recognize them from the news articles.
#SmoreWords Day 30:Who is your hero?
My literary heroes are too many to type, so going with Tamora Pierce.
If you haven't read her works, do it! She is an amazing fantasy writer and I will fight anyone who disagrees!
#TheMerryWriter w/@AriMeghlen & @RPoli3 Day 30: Writing Podcasts
I was into listening to writing podcasts on my commute, but since the concussion, I've found them harder to focus on so I don't anymore.

#SmoreWords Day 29: Do my heros do anything unheroic?
All the f*@%ing time! My protags are reluctant heros at best and more often then not are very flawed normal people.
#SmoreWords Day 28: What do my protags need?
He needs to remember. He need to figure out why this all feels like some strange deja vu. He needs to stop thinking and start actually listening.
Will he?
Guess I need to finish writing so you can read it and find out...
#TheMerryWriter Day 27 w/ @AriMeghlen & @RPoli3:
Issues with marketing?
I'm terrible at marketing myself. I feel like its a mix of lack of energy, lack of skills, and lack of content.
Maybe one day I'll do better! But for right now....
I'm a firm believer that there are three ways to improve your writing
1) READ
2) WRITE
3) Have other people read what you write!
