I'm plotting out the cozy travel fantasy I've always wanted to write and I couldn't be more pumped 😂 #writingcommunity #authorlife #travelfantasy #fantasy #cozyfantasy #Amwriting

Gradually working on character sheets today! 📝 This clean slate approach has me excited to jump into this standalone again. Moral: take distance from draft 1. Sometimes u need 2 learn more about the craft & your style to get the story u wanted. ✨ #WritingCommunity #CozyFantasy

Trying to reread a draft I thought was v1.5, but it’s definitely a dump draft. 😅 I still love the concept & characters, but I’ve grown so much as a writer since then. Do I suck it up & read through, or just start from semi-scratch? ✍️📖 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AuthorLife

@AdamsMorgan56 Right? The more I think about it, the more it sounds really fun to write. Like most of my stuff has an over-arching plot but really is dealing with the characters and the cozy, and I never thought about it until I was trying to categorize that vibe.

@CrystalMDWrites I think you’ve just described a whole new subgenre honestly. Cozy fantasy romance sounds like a great mix, and it definitely feels like a thing readers would love

I've often struggled with debating whether I'm a fantasy romance author, or a cozy fantasy author. After thislast pass of my final chapter before the epilogue...I realize I'm both O.O so uh, cozy fantasy romance? is that a thing? #writingcommunity #fantasy #cozyfantasy

In re-reading my longer projects I realized my orig plan of working on and publishing novellas 1st is a good 1. The longer stuff needs a lot more work than I orig thought, but I'm glad I can spot weaknesses in my old writing and fix them w/more skill #writingcommunity #authrolife

This week in Princess of Dragons Bane, Garreth has a talk with a higher power #fantasy #writingcommunity #fairytaleretelling #beautyandthebeast open.substack.com/pub/crystalden…

The next Princess of Dragons Bane chapter is already scheduled for tmw, yay 🎉🎇 we're for realzies entering the end of the story, I'm in the process of writing the chapter right before the epilogue #writingcommunity #authorlife #fantasy #fairytaleretelling

I'm loving how many things I can do with this new laptop! I just exported 3 of my drafts as epubs to go over and it's so cool seeing them displayed like they are full fledged books that need revisions lol 📖✒️#writingcommunity #authorlife #fantasy #cozyfantasy

Up here in the cold thin air, I finally can breathe. I know I left a life behind, but I'm too relieved to grieve. 🎶 Let it Go, Demi Lovato ver #songshare #lyricshare #lyricinspo #disney #frozen

Nothing like scaring yourself half to death by being on the wrong email in Google Drive and thinking you un-sinced all of your folders 😅😭 #writingcommunity #authorlife #AMwriting

My heart wants to work on my Priestess themed novella, but my mind knows I should continue working on Princess of Dragons Bane so I can get it out of the way and start working on other projects.  But I miss my cozy yett gothic world I've built in the novella 🙎‍♀️ #writingcommunity

I've had a few people ask what projects I'm working on. You can find any info about my #WIP projects, and finished stories on my website. Here's a direct link to the #workinprogress page. #writingcommunity #fantasy #cozyfantasy #romantasy crystaldennisauthor.com/works-in-progr…

@DolapoHikm56625 I'm working on too many things to count right now. Check my feed for details.

@CrystalMDWrites wow it's one of my favourites genre are you currently working on any draft?

quick question for writers 👀 what’s harder for you… getting the idea keeping it together in the middle or not ruining it at the end #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife #authorsofx #fictionwriters

Myline edit kryptonite is finding EVERY SINGLE double space between words ugh I can't stand it 😵 #writingcommunity #AMediting #fantasy #cozyfantasy #authorlife

2 semi-bucket list concepts I feel I'll write at some point in my career are a magical girl story and like, a Lit TCG. I feel like writing a TCG in book form is a really interesting opportunity that Lit RPG doesn't quite capture #writingcommunity #animeinspo #authorlife

@DolapoHikm56625 I write clean fantasy romance and cozy fantasy.

@CrystalMDWrites If I may ask,how? What genre are you writing?

I'm really liking the install webpage as an app feature. There are so many tech advances since the last time I bought a laptop that I'm both amazed and mind-blown lol #writingcommunity #authorlife #laptopsetup
