Week 3 posts / Accidental Wishes (new title!) week 3
« on: August 22, 2020, 05:48:06 PM »
Here is my week 3 draft, featuring a brand new title and ending! It was previously called An Ill-Conceived Wish if you're looking back in the forums at the earlier drafts. Many thanks to my wonderful critique partners Dan Koboldt and Steph Whitaker for the feedback this week!

Week 2 posts / An Ill-Conceived Wish (self-edit)
« on: August 14, 2020, 01:10:14 PM »
Here's the blog post for my second draft, coming in at exactly 1000 words 
I left the main structure the same, but added in some details that were missing in the first draft, and cut a lot of words.

Here is my first draft! I had fun with colour-coding my paragraphs as I wrote them to try and show the drafting process.

Writer & Editor Bios / Nyssa Rae - YA/NA SFF
« on: August 03, 2020, 01:12:24 AM »
Name: Nyssa Rae
Preferred Pronouns: She/Her
Bio: Nyssa lives in Canada, and is a mechanical engineer by day and writer by night. She temporarily works as a satellite engineer, with the hope of soon getting a permanent job working on rockets/satellites and the like. She's also a Highland dancer who has performed around the world, when travelling around the world was a thing we could do. She has been writing stories since she was old enough to hold a pencil, and hopes to be published one day.
What type of stories do you write?
I write mostly YA science fiction and fantasy, although I'm experimenting with a few NA/adult stories in these same genres. I've always read to escape the real world, so SFF is my happy place when writing. As an engineer myself, I've got a passion for writing girls in STEM because we don't see enough of that.
What are you working on right now?
I'm currently querying my third completed novel (the first two are shelved), which is a YA sci-fi about a girl trying to get her spaceship pilot's license who runs into a whale in space. Finishing up some edits while I start querying, but once that's done I think I might go back to work on a half-written delightfully queer adult fantasy novel.

Week 0 posts / Prompt Thoughts: No plot yet, but a solid setting
« on: August 02, 2020, 05:14:04 PM »
Like it says in the title, I was immediately drawn in by the setting of this photo. Not sure what plot will go along with this yet, but I'll find out soon! Most likely it will involve magic...
