I write fantasy because there are no rules. I just get to fuck around and find out. I’m a professional liar, out here just makin shit up 😌

Getting started on a new paranormal romance novel! Currently plotting it out. I’m so excited! #amwriting #spicyromance

I made this wall sized plot board to plan my novel. I used this master beat sheet: jamigold.com/for-writers/wo… And this romance beat sheet: jamigold.com/for-writers/wo… Then I adjusted it a bit for myself. I think it’s going to work out great. #novelwriting #beatsheets #outlining

Naming characters is so difficult. I can’t keep calling my main male character “SexyGuy.” He deserves better. #amwriting #nanowrimo

Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo 2022! What is everyone writing this year? #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2022 NaNoWriMo #amwriting #writinggoals #novelwriting

I got 975 words written on my new novel and NaNoWriMo project, The Trouble with Gods, yesterday. Didn’t make it to the 1,667 mark, but it’s a start! Hey, Wrimos, how are your projects coming along? #nanowrimo

Told my boyfriend about something funny I’m going to put in my novel and he actually laughed! Like out loud! It was such a confidence boost because he rarely laughs at the funny bits when I tell him about them. But, guys, I got a real laugh! I’m so proud. #amwriting

If I can ever manage to name my MMC it should count for at least 1,000 words for NaNoWriMo. This is so hard. #amwriting #sorta

Trying to name my MMC Me: Callix is a pretty cool name My brain: haha Cal-licks Goddamnit.

Criteria for my MMC’s name is getting ridiculous 1. Must be hot 2. Can’t be anyone I currently know 3. Can’t be anyone I’ve ever dated, been close friends with, or hated 4. Can’t be similar to any current character names in the novel 5. Can’t be a well-known character name…

It’s official. I know too many people. All the good names are ruined somehow.

By NaNoWriMo estimates, I’m a bit behind, but since my 4,600 words is mostly outlined plot points and bits of dialogue, I’d say I’m doing pretty good. I’ll go back and write it out once the outline is solid. #amwriting

For my urban fantasy spicy romance, I’m down to 2 names. My MMC is a young god (created by humans) with sex god magic. Which would be a better name? Aiden - simple and sexy enough Dashiel - kinda hot and actually means ‘youngest god’

How are the characters going to do that? Magic. But how does that work? Magic. Wait, why would that happen? Magic. Just use magic to fill all your plot holes. It’s fine. #plotting #novelwriting

I don’t remember hanging this ornament.

My first ebay auction is ending in under 4 hours! So exciting! #nocountryforoldmen #cormacmccarthy #firstedition #hardcover ebay.com/itm/1257758112…

I also have this one! #theroad #cormacmccarthy #firstedition #hardcover #ebayfinds ebay.com/itm/1257864866…

Never cared much for Snapchat til this week. (Men tend to overshare and it gets weird). But now my niece and I have a 5 day streak and I’m determined to keep it going. I love that kid!

I started streaming on Twitch last month and just made affiliate! If you like World of Warcraft or just want to hang out with me and talk while I play, check out my streaming account @BrinnaStreams twitch.tv/BrinnaBlaine
