Writing Endeavors
I've been in the query trenches for a month now. I've gotten one rejection so far. I plan to send out more query letters soon. To keep myself busy so I don't think about Pitch Wars or my queries I've sent out, I'm working on a new WIP. Below is the first aesthetic I've made for it. And you're the first to see it!
The working title is Eyes of Night. It could change, but for now, it works.
Some facts about my new WIP
Genre: YA Fantasy
Main Character: Adira
Side characters: Gryffith, Noor, Kian, Isa, Ekon, and Zandra
Magic System: Each mage has a unique eye color and certain abilities.
Status: Prepping for Nano
What inspired it?
One night after I finished reading a fantasy book, I was annoyed and honestly a little upset. I keep seeing more and more books with an antagonist with black eyes. For those who don't know or remember, I was born with a rare eye condition called Aniridia Syndrome which causes me not to have irises (the colored part of the eyes); hence I have black eyes. Seeing so many authors give their antagonists black eyes bothers me because it's stereotyping people with black eyes. So I started brainstorming on how I could educate and show others that antagonists don't need to have black eyes to be evil. I hope to show that a character (a person) can be different, and just because a person has black eyes doesn't mean he/she is evil/bad.
What's it about?
A group of seven mages must put aside their differences and work together to prove their innocence, and to save magic and their lives.
