Introducing my current set-up... This is my littl Introducing my current set-up... This is my little corner of the world for the time being, while most of my life is packed into a 3×2.5m storage unit. There's all the essentials: my laptop, important files, diary, a few nice trinkets, and of course a den for Violet! Not sure how long I'll be here, but it's home for now. 😊 • • • #writerslife #authorlife #indieauthor #fantasyauthor #writersofig
The end of an era... Today I handed back the keys The end of an era... Today I handed back the keys on the apartment where I've been living for the last five years. It's the first home I had just for me, and I've made so many great memories here, from surviving lockdown to publishing my first book to bringing my furbaby Violet home. It's sad to say goodbye. In this photo, I'm having my last coffee at the local cafe while the carpet gets cleaned. For now, I'll be staying with my folks for a bit while I search for my next home. I'm very lucky to be able to do so, and I'm excited to see what this next phase of my life has in store!! 😀
W is for Weaver! 👇 Here we are with the next post W is for Weaver! 👇 Here we are with the next post in the A to Z of worldbuilding in the #GracebornSeries. I have to skip right over the letter V (no terms to share 😭) and go to W. So what is a Weaver? 1️⃣ One of two main types of Graceborn, the other being Adepts. A Weaver can sense and manipulate corporeal Grace—that is, the Grace of the physical world—and convert it between its various forms in accordance with the Fundamental Laws. 2️⃣ It's also the term used in the city-state of Asphodel, the home of the Graceborn, to refer to a Weaver who has completed their training. They start as an "awakened", then become an "apprentice", and finally, after passing the Trial, they become a "Weaver" in full. They're addressed as 𝘜𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪, which is a word in the Ancient Tongue. What are you interested to know about Weavers? 😀 • • • #worldbuilding #fantasybooks #fantasyseries #fantasyauthor
