There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
recently found out about openverse which i think aggregates a bunch of creative commons images from flickr, wikimedia, nasa etc… pretty handy
I’m shocked so many people don’t know about my go to – Morgue File.
It’s full of searchable, rights free images uploaded by photographers.
"the new moon is in three days, and with every infinitesimally slimmer sliver of the moon at night ramsey feels himself become an animal-- one so filled with despair that he could be pushed to desperate measures."

GENRE/RATING: horror romance/adult
WARNINGS: explicit sexuality, dubious consent, explicit violence and gore, animal death, child abuse, religious abuse, child injury and death, parent death, alcohol, smoking, tba
SUMMARY: sixteen years ago the town of montage, nebraska was unsettled by a series of violent animal deaths and sightings of strange beasts in the woods. perhaps most unsettled of all was ramsey hollowary, whose best friend hazel ashfort had transformed into a werewolf before his eyes. and ramsey made a mistake when he told his parents, who rallied the rest of the townspeople and killed the ashforts in their home. hazel escaped, and ramsey chased him down, but he couldn't follow through.
now ramsey travels the country with his father, pursuing their divine calling as werewolf hunters. stories of a monster killing livestock lead them to rory, nebraska, where ramsey meets hazel thompson, a man too familiar to be anybody but his childhood friend. in trying to prove his own suspicion wrong, he only further convinces himself that this is his hazel, and that he doesn't want to kill him.

I have begun to post ToL on my new Cohost. The first three chapters of are now available.
Here’s what’s new:
Chapter One: New scenes with Adrin and his pal Milvar, minor changes to the pledge ceremony, a little more time with Mama Valic.
Chapter Two: A better look at the inside of Mara’s head as she returns to Rothar, an extended scene inside the archives, a better description of Hettie’s house.
Chapter Three: Hettie’s personality shines a bit more, a new passage from Killian, a slightly different reaction to Mara’s arrest.
ToL tag list: @outpost51 @writernopal @avrablake @writingrosesonneptune @theroseempress (please ask to be +/-)
Update: The first four chapters are now available to read!
Chapter Four: The full interrogation scene between Oliver and Captain Hollowar, sneaky foreshadowing and extra angst!
they match each other’s freak to a degree that is dangerous to the public
i dont think that people actually dislike 'fluff' in writing its just that not many people know how to write characters well when nothing high stakes is happening and therefore the scenes feel bland or wasted (tucks and rolls offstage) because they can only imagine people to be interesting during high action scenes and not during the slower moments in between (slides on a tomato) likely because they consider their own life and the people around them uninteresting and cannot imagine characters they want to like to be anything less than larger than life when in reality the quiet humanity between action is the core of all good character writing (gets shot)
to be good at writing fiction you must first stop looking at it as an escape from reality but a mechanism through which to process it
in the club explaining my oc lore to an enraptured audience
