Got a few ideas that are a mix of everything. A little bit of fantasy, thriller, and present-day stories that are slow burns, fast banter, and guys who fall hard (for each other) 😏
WIP: A serial killer love story
- I was inspired to write Justin's and Eric's story by Phantom of the Opera and Heartstopper. The thought of picking the Phantom in the end and the tender love of Heartstopper #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 12 What existing media, tropes, or ideas influenced the creation of your MC and LI? Or if you were inspired in other ways, what prompted you? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Justin's mother, Martha, shows up in the novel. A single mom who raised two kids on her own while having her career as a cop. She's pretty great #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 11: Mother's Day: Mother figure in story
- Justin: dad left when he was a baby & ex forced him to have sex when Justin wasn't ready for it Eric: childhood truama, dealing with his brother being in a coma...unresolved issues... #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 11 None of us are perfect people, and neither are our characters. Do the MC and LI bring any baggage from their pasts to their relationship? If so, what is it? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there. To the ones who have children, adopted children, furbaby mothers, mother figures, and all of the above You are amazing, beautiful, and deserve the world 💕
- Justin would probably would want to visit that renaissance for the music, art, and science being made Eric would visit that 1920s-1930s for the music and style #QueerPrompts
- #QueerPrompts May 10: Point in history your character(s) would love to visit/live in
- Justin (MC) was drawn to Eric to help him. He loves helping people. Eric was going through a hard time & thought he needed a friend. Later, he is romantically attracted to Eric by how adventurous/free spirit he is Eric (LI) fell in love by how sweet/innocent he is. So pure #MayWeDace
- #MayWeDance Day 10 Regardless of how quickly or slowly romance blooms between the MC and LI, what initially attracts them to each other? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Probably the beginning. The slow build up of Justin's and Eric's relationship. Probably because I let my introverted self get in the way 😅It's hard for me to build up friendships. It takes time. I feel like Justin and Eric take their time too, which could be too slow for readers #WritingLifeMonthly
- In my WIP it's friends to lovers, touch him and you're dead, and protective boyfriend. Friends to lovers is a nice slow burn but comes in with lots of passion when they finally express their feelings. Then once they get into a relationship, protective boyfriend mode kicks in pretty fast #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 9 Yesterday, we discussed our favorite tropes, but today I want to know which ones you've included in your WIPs. Not only that, but do you play them straight, or are you subverting them? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Eric (Gay) is a very goofy and silly type of guy...but can get very scary when it comes to Justin. He's very protective of him. I wouldn't test him #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 8: Intimidating trans/queer character
- Here are a few of my favorites Eniemes to Lovers Age gape Touch them, you're dead Let the world burn Friends to lovers Forced Proximity Best friend's sibling Mutual pinning Soft to intense passion Forbidden love #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 8 Today's question should be easy! Simply, what are your favorite romance tropes? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- I have a mix. It's never just romance itself. I have like a dark romance/thriller, fantasy, and a Western romance idea I'm working on Right now focusing on my dark romance/thriller #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 6 Are you writing in the romance genre itself, or is the romance in your WIP secondary to another genre, such as fantasy, horror, science fiction, or something else? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- In my current WIP: #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 7: GIF/Audio or description of how much fantasy you put into your story
- I would like to think so. They are a serial killer that's conflicting with the MCs love story. It does make things difficult but very intriguing #WritingLifeMonthly
- 🔎 May Day 07 ✏️ If you joined us in March for #WritingLifeMonthly, you should eagerly nod "Yes" to this. Reading other posts, you may have noted that not all antagonists are people. Sometimes they are inner demons, the environment or something else. #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AmWriting #WriteSky
- Heartstopper X Dexter Justin is just starting college. Everything is going well! He even made a new friend! While feelings slowly devolved for his classmate, mysterious & gruesome murders are happening in nearby towns...a serial killer...slowly making way to campus... #Questpit #W #R #DR
- I'm a pantser. I get a general idea of what I want but not everything. That's why it takes me so long to write 😅 #WritingLifeMonthly
- 🔎 #WritingLifeMonthly May Day 06 ✏️ Have you planned/written a clear midpoint, climax, and resolution? Did you find it hard to plan or write any of them? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AmWriting #WriteSky
- Justin lives a pretty normal life. Nothing to hide there besides an absent dad Eric...well, let's just say he didn't have a complete normal life. He's adopted for a reason. Don't want to spoil too much #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 6: Character with mysterious past
- My current WIP is a romance/thriller story dealing with a serial killer Another work is a vampire romance story that's fantasy/romance I also have a Western romance story as well #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 6 Are you writing in the romance genre itself, or is the romance in your WIP secondary to another genre, such as fantasy, horror, science fiction, or something else? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Ideally, to get some writing done this weekend. Hopefully two chapters at least #Queerwriters
- My current WIP is set in present day. I would say about mid 2020s I have two stories that are in different times. One wild west, so the late 1800s. Then the other a Victorian time inspired story but make it fantasy
- It hints it at the start, just grazing the top of the deeper plot.Then it slowly builds till it explodes and throws everything into chaos later on.First, I had to build up the sweet romance of Justin & Eric before the conflict really hits like a truck later on #WritingLifeMonthly #Writingcommunity
- 🔎 #WritingLifeMonthly May Day 05 ✏️ What is your "Inciting Incident"? Does it happen early enough? Does it set the story in motion right from the start? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AmWriting #WriteSky #IncitingIncident
- Justin & Eric are a slow burn. They became friends first. Eric then started to develop feelings first, admiring him. Then Justin soon after, couldnt stop thinking about Eric. It was awkward at first as neither of them would admit it. Once they did, they quickly got into a relationship #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 5 How quickly or slowly do the MC and their LI in your WIP develop feelings for each other? And how quickly or slowly do they enter a relationship? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- In my current WIP, there isn't much history mentioned. It is set in present day, and it's pretty accepted for the most part Both Justin & Eric are gay. Thankfully, both having accepting families. #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 5: Trans+ History Week Begins: Any original trans/queer history in your story?
- I like a little bit of all. A captivating storyline with rich emotional layers as the characters developed their relationship with each other and grow as their own person and as a couple #WritingLifeMonthly
- 🔎 #WritingLifeMonthly May Day 04 ✏️ Can you clearly state what drives the story? Is it character arcs, a captivating storyline, or rich emotional layers? Consider these aspects as you craft your work #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AmWriting #WriteSky
- Justin noticed Eric 1st, sitting by himself & playing a game in class. Justin learns that Eric's brother was recently in an accident, so Eric's been depressed. Justin thought Eric could use a friend They grew to be friends first, bonding over videogames & support during this hard time #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 4 First meetings are as varied as our characters in our stories. Under what circumstances did your MC and LI meet? What emotions were involved in that encounter? And what did they think of each other? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- Most of the time, it's found family or close with siblings In my current WIP, both Justin & Eric are close to their siblings. Justin with his sister. Eric with his brother (his adopted parents' bio son) #Queerprompts
- #QueerPrompts May 4: International Family Equality Day: Family dynamic you find yourself writing a lot or are drawn to
- I managed to write a bit today! Not as much as I would have wanted, but I'll take it. Anything is better than nothing Now time to sleep✌️
- Justin is super reliable. You can expect him to drop everything and help you out with whatever you need. Eric is pretty reliable too. You can trust him. #QueerPrompts
- #QueerPrompts May 3: How reliable of a friend is your MC?
- Eric is the love interest. He's really goofy & silly, someone who wants to have fun. Can be blunt, doesn't have a filter all the time. He's very protective too. He just wants himself & the ones he loves to be happy. Fun fact, he's adopted. His gamer name is "TheAdoptedOne" #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 3 Now that we know about your MC, tell us about their Love Interest. The same questions apply: What's their personality? Their goals in life? What motivates them? What's a fun fact about them? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
- I say this pretty much summarizes my current WIP with Justin & Eric
- I think it's a compelling start. Justin is introduced as he is getting ready for the first day of college. He is living at home, so you meet his sister & mother. The TV is on, playing the news report of a murder that happened in the area&how his mom is on the case (She's a cop) #WritingLifeMonthly
- #writinglifemonthly May Day 02 The opening pages of your book should hook readers instantly. Are they engaging and intriguing enough to spark curiosity? What will draw your readers in a gripping conflict, a compelling character and epic setting? #AmEditing #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
- I had a general idea for the story but didn't really built it up till I developed the characters first, Justin & Eric. Then I really came up with the plot #QueerPrompts
- #QueerPrompts May 2: Free Friday or what part of your story you came up with first (plot, characters, etc)
- Justin is just starting college after taking a gape year. He's getting a degree in digital marketing. He's super sweet & kind hearted. He loves videos games & photography. He wants to travel the world. He has a single mom who is a cop & has an older sister. Justin: the baby bro #MayWeDance
- #MayWeDance Day 2 Tell us about your Main Character! What is their personality? Their goal in life? What motivates them? What's a fun fact about them? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia
