Last Notes npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Just got a call from someone beta reading the first half of my WIP (Werwolves, Chocolate & Pigeons) and she said she’s never before seen a book like a movie. Said it took a moment to reorient herself back to the room after reading it. I’m thrilled. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub10nt…ltnf gotta have fun.😂 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Live eclipse coverage… npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Live eclipse coverage… npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) 2:46 pm npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Live eclipse coverage… npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) #WordWeavers: How do your characters stay clean, or don’t they? npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Perhaps the reason you’re here scrolling and not writing is because you’re lonely or need to connect with other writers. Maybe it’s not all avoidance. Maybe it’s ok.💜 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) #WordWeavers: A quick apology for not being around more the last few weeks. Had another death in the family (second this year) and had a lot to attend to here. Will try to be around more now. Missed you all.😊 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) 💫Sentient trees npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub10wj…0axw The part about most not earning a living wage was both shocking and super sad. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1m8y…3ku9 My tip is to get good at getting mentally prepared to write while doing chores, driving, etc, so that when you have that 20 minutes to write, the words pour out. I also write everywhere, including all the waiting to pick up kids, etc. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) Good morning, everyone! And yes, it’s very late morning, lol. Had a rare chance to sleep in. Have a good one! npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1mfg…zv6k Ew. No thanks. That would still be causing harm. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) It's my birthday week, but the gift is for you! npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) One of my beta readers sent this to me in reference to the main villain being a bear shifter in my upcoming book. I know you haven’t read it, but maybe you’ll get the humor of it, because my human characters have no way to tell him from other bears.😂 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub16uc…k62q Ha! Relatable in a war. If I was thrown onto a battlefield, with a bunch of monsters trying to kill me, I don’t know what I would do to survive. I hate violence, but I don’t think I’d just stand there and die. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub16uc…k62q @npub1yy2…7vpm Thanks. I think we may have done that one already. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub10d5…vvxa @npub15wt…7rek Flimsy is the perfect word for them. My youngest and I sometimes watch the movies just for a laugh. Are the ones you wrote short stories or a bunch of novels? npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub16uc…k62q Wow, that’s a great one, Alina!😊 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1p4u…l2nd You got cotton seeds? So much fun. If they grow, I’d love to see the plants. I never ever heard of locally grown fibers, but love the idea. We’ve made cordage from stuff gathered in the woods, but nothing clothing worthy. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1p4u…l2nd Interesting.

They were found together in the forest (Northeast US). Just over an inch in length. Also looks like they have small holes. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) They’re ready! npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) #WritingWonders: Antagonist POV: What do you like most about where you live? npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) We have a new hashtag! npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1k24…26zw @npub15wt…7rek The reason it matters to me is that if you have a lot more reviews, your books gets shown to more readers. It factors into Amazon’s algorithm. 😊 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1u9s…4ks3 That does sound like a perfect storm! So the Galileans avoid battles but still struggle with anger and prejudices against other lands? That’s a hard line to walk. Does their anger come out off the battlefield? npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub15dq…ej73 And who wants to live at the infirmary? 😂 npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub1x7x…w0km @npub16uc…k62q Yeah, it’s sad.

Alina, Amelia, and I come up with the questions and post them at the beginning of each month. We each have them pinned to our profiles as well.

I think it’s showing your range as a human if you can be professional and also write intensely emotional stuff. I never really thought that what I wrote might be judged as different from my professional self. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) @npub15ax…lqq5 Yes!

And also trusting the characters. I don’t start a novel or short story until I know the characters. They might not tell it the way I would plot it out, but their way is nearly always better. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) #WritingWonders: What is your favorite stage of writing a story. npub1kdqmxm9hc02pz3mrd5pt3m0mzxyy8jmsuvs0h88yqn064jtp3thqe7yrjv Branwen OShea (she/her) That torn feeling when you’re trying to meditate and your villain decides in the middle of it to reveal about the truth behind his trust issues.
