Character Illustration: Aya

November 13, 2017 ~ Amanda

I recieved the sweetest character illustration of Aya Haven from Witch Lessons by nataliaillustrations on Instagram. It is absolutely perfect. I can’t explain how cool it is as a writer to see my character come to life!

Have a great week!

Happy #socksunday everyone! 💕 I actually went over to my parents house for breakfast and am back home now, ready to roll out some scenes! I am not stressing about word count (I'm a nanowrimo rebel haha) I just really want to make progress, not only because I LOVE this story, but my critique partners have been sooo encouraging about it, it really makes me feel like I have something special here. If you are a writer, one of the best things you can do is to find good critique partners. Not only because they'll help improve your work, but because helping someone else will open your eyes to your own writing strengths and weaknesses. If you are lucky enough to have a great critique group or partner, how did you connect? Are you local or online? I love hearing how others work (because I'm also nosy 😂). Happy reading and/or writing, bibliophiles! . . . . #amwriting #yafantasy #darkfantasy #nanowrimo2018 #words #bookish #wordnerd #work #laptop #authorsofinstagram #writers #author #critiquegroup #critiquepartners #inspiration #encouragement #writerslife #authorcommunity #writerscommunity #ya #yawriter #novel #authors #sundayvibes

did you think this was a fairytale? 🥀 Happy Saturday! I'm juggling a couple important things today including finishing reading/critiquing my friend @heylindseys manuscript (which will be published so go check her out)! I'm excited to reread this newer version of Remaining Aileen. One of the coolest things about having writer friends is getting to have ALL THE STORIES before they're ever even published! 😍 Quick post here because I've got to get reading AND writing! But first, as Aileen herself would say, coffee....

I bought myself a little something sweet 😘 I have a few important things to do today then I'll make writing a priority, too. I am way behind on #nanowrimo2018 but that's ok! I've got the scenes in my head and just need to get them down. But first, a few things. And perhaps, a few chocolates... Do you have a sweet tooth? Truth told, I crave savory flavors more often, but sweets definitely have a place in my life! ;) . . . . #amwriting #writerproblems #writerslife #girlboss #writingday #workinprogress #workfromhome #friday #fridaymood #writer #fantasy #chocolate #sweettooth #yum #chocolate🍫 #snacktime #authorsofinstagram #nanowrimo #darkfantasy #magic

It is already mid-November 😶 and I'm reading my 48th book of the year. I set a challenge of 50 books so I'm pleased by that! I think reading is very important for writers but I admit I struggle sometimes with balancing and feeling like I'm not doing enough of one or the the other. This year I gave myself permission to relax! As long as I wrote some words or read some pages every day, that was great! When I do neither, that's when I feel awful. Not because guilt "I SHOULD be xyz" but because I genuinely just don't feel like me. Books-- both reading and writing them-- are my passion and give me a sense of peace that I desperately need to stay healthy and well. I don't think the number matters so long as you feel GOOD about your relationship with books, whether as a writer or reader. If you set a Goodreads reading challenge this year, how are you doing? Are you feeling good or just pressured to meet a number? . . . #writerslife #reading #read #reader #book #goodreads #goodreadschallenge #bookish #booknerd #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #readingtime #amreading #booklovers #bookaddict #writerscommunity

Good morning Bookstagram! I love reading in bed, all snuggled up under covers, especially on a cold day like today. Poetry is going to keep me warm inside although I'm reading each book slowly, to savor them 💕 I haven't written any new poems lately and I'm (really) bothered by it BUT trying to just chill. Everyone has dry spells and I'm still writing fiction, which I love. So long as words are coming out of me, right?? Have you read any great poetry books lately? I'm on a buying ban until January 🤣 but always looking to add to my TBR list! . . . . #poetryisnotdead #poetrylove #fiercefairytales #nikitagill #tomakemonstersoutofgirls #amandalovelace #nightsong #jamiemclachlan #poetrybooks #poetrylover #reading #readingtime #readersgonnaread #reader #writer #poetess #poetsofig #poetrywriters #bookstagram

💖 An Ever After 💖 From Our Wild Magic. Do you enjoy stories with happily-ever-afters? Happy-for-now? Neither? I tend to prefer at least some kind of hopeful, satisfying end. Both my poetry books available through the link in my bio. . . . #poetry #poetrybooks #ourwildmagic #everafter #happilyeverafter #romantic #lovepoems #lovepoetry #love #tuesday #truelove #poetess #amandalinsmeier #poem #poemoftheday #poetic #lovers #bookish #bookstagram #poetrylovers #readersofinstagram #read

Good morning everyone! I'm just having a coffee then I plan to work hard on my story today. I really want to get a good 2,000 words in, if not more. I'm finally feeling a little better so the (self) pressure is on to catch up now. I'm almost halfway through Act 1. Fingers crossed for some good scenes today! Poem coming up next 💕 stay tuned. . . . . #coffee #morning #mondaymood #monday #inspiration #books #bookish #writersofig #authors #writingday #amwritingfantasy #socks #foxsocks #bookish #bibliophile

I haven't shared a story aesthetic in awhile so here's one from my current WIP! 🍃 I'm happy to have hit 11,000 words yesterday. I have a couple of scenes to write until I get to the Act 1 climax (which I'm really excited about!) so hopefully that goes well. I'm getting the main character's voice so clearly but I definitely need to flesh out some of the minor characters. But so far, my story is dark and murdery with some unexpected beauty. Loving. It. 💀 Time for a #nanowrimo2018 check-in! How are you doing? Are you feeling good? Stuck? Do you have anything plotted or are you winging it? Comment below and tell me what you are working on and how it's going! 💕 . . . . #nanowrimo #writerslife #writerscommunity #fantasy #fiction #yafantasy #creepy #yawriter #amwriting #plotting #story #aesthetic #aesthetics #storycollage #collage #writer #macabre #darkfantasy #authorsofinstagram #stories #writersofinstagram #workinprogress #amwritingfantasy #amplotting #character #amwritingfiction

When you write a poem, let alone a whole book of poetry, you have no idea what other people will think of it. No matter how much your work means to you, others may not connect. They may not feel it. So it's incredibly moving when someone does like your words, and even better, when they let you know! 💕 I'm still fairly new to the world of Instagram, having only been here since last summer. But I've been fortunate enough to find incredibly talented writers here. I've followed @ladybookmad for a long time and when I first read the princess saves herself in this one, I was like, whoa. 😍 Amanda was a huge inspiration for me while writing Our Wild Magic and I'm sharing her lovely photo today, because she recently read and lavished much love on it. 💖 I just got her 3rd book and I can't wait to read and post about it soon. Thank you, Amanda, and thank you all my wonderful bookish soul mates! It doesn't matter what genre you love, what kind of poetry, what song lyrics speak to you. What's the coolest is how we are able to connect over words, no matter how different we are. I'm so lucky I get to write books. I'm so hopeful I can continue to connect with readers and others writers. . . . . #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #ourwildmagic #bookstagram #thankful #thankyou #amandalinsmeier #amandalovelace #writer #poetess #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #books #ilovebooks #poet #words #gratitude #saturdayvibes #saturday #book #writerssoul
