Fiona Glass didn’t tag me but said anyone could join in with the five things in your current WIP meme.
The Seekers (working title) is a stand-alone fantasy based on some characters I developed in an rpg some years ago. I started it during Nanowrimo but always knew it was a long term project. I got about 30k words done in November but have been busy with Christmas ever since. Yesterday I got back to my characters who were getting fretful and feeling ignored. I only managed 500 words but it was a start! I mentioned my current writing in my poem about plot bunnies but thought I’d make it clear what I’m working on at the moment.
Five things in the story?
*A found family on a quest to escape their current lives
*Disinherited royal fairy twins – one gay and one asexual
*A goblin pedlar (on his coming of age travelling year) who is seeking his heart’s desire
*A large talking bird who helps fight bandits
*A fairy princess who needs new shoes for the primce’s ball in the desert
The icon was made for me about fifteen years ago by kethlenda, a friend on Live Journal.
Glad to have given you the idea! The goblin sounds fun… 😉
He was a popular character when I introduced him in the rpg and he’s proving to be one of the main characters in the story. I have one of the other gamers as my ‘first reader’ and she’s telling me he’s already her favourite.
