On a day that hasn't been so great, the best thing On a day that hasn't been so great, the best thing to find in the mailbox is a package with two favorite old books.

[this is a paraphrase of a quote by Toni Morrison, by the by] Well, I want stories with magic, where trauma is healed by building one's family from the people you choose - and who choose you. I want them to help heal others by sharing their community and using their power to do good. I want forgiveness and growth and kindness. And those books may already be out there, but not enough of them by far - so that's what I write. ⁠ ⁠ I write them because my heart won't let me stop telling these stories. ⁠ ⁠ #insleepyouknow #moderndayfae #storiesofhope #fantasywritersofinstagram #books #faerytales #contemporaryfantasy #magicalbooks #healingthroughbooks #writewhatyouwanttoread #fantasyauthor #urbanfantasy #hopepunk #baltimorefae

Hello Magic Seekers! I’m checking in with my cur Hello Magic Seekers! I’m checking in with my current word count and State of the Novel update, as promised.⁠ ⁠ I’ve been writing away, and I am pleased to tell you that I am at 93,907 words, or at 78% complete on the first draft. My base goal is 120,000 words, give or take. Just for comparison, In Sleep You Know came in originally over 127,000 words and I trimmed it down to about 125,000.⁠ ⁠ The task of getting the word count under control happens during the editing and revision process, which is coming SOON for me! I’ve found that once I get close to the end of the story, things start speeding up and before I know it, I’ll be blasting through the action like I’m riding a speeding bobsled to reach the conclusion. It’s always a wild ride!⁠ Read more at https://www.christianeknight.com/monthly-update-word-count-september-2021/ [or get the link in my profile]⁠ ⁠ #contemporaryfantasy #urbanfantasy #gothfae #fantasywritersofinstagram #insleepyouknow #bookstagram #modernfae #baltimoremd⁠ #booklover #wordcount #amwriting
I know I write a bit about the importance of the s I know I write a bit about the importance of the soundtracks for my books, but there’s a reason for that. Poetry – the lyrics that shape the direction of the feelings being evoked by the instruments and tune that they ride on – makes or breaks a song for me. And when used well in an accompanying soundtrack, those lyrics can develop undercurrents of meaning and energy, and even deliver secrets about the characters or plot.⁠ ⁠ I’ve spoken about how I carefully match each song to the chapter it heads, and I’ve even mentioned that certain songs remind me of specific characters – basically, their theme songs. But I also pick songs for lyrical content that reflects what’s happening in that chapter, or in some cases, what’s happening concurrently in the plot but isn’t the main focus at the time. It’s one of my favorite ways to add layers to to the tale.⁠ ⁠ Want to read the rest? It's over on the blog!

“We may have the magic, but you? You are the mag “We may have the magic, but you? You are the magic. We use it, but you embody it. And now you know why your tales are filled with faerie courts taking on mortals; you are the only ones able to give us inspiration, to change us. We seem to be incapable of doing that on our own.”⁠ ⁠ Cullen says this to Merrick in frustration, because he feels that his people - the fae Eleriannan - have become lazy, have depended too long on mortals, and they are afraid to look at the truth of what Cullen now understands. Merrick, however, sees it a little differently. ⁠ ⁠ Read more from In Sleep You Know, and discover the world and magic of Eleriannan, Gwyliannan, and mortals in #baltimoreMD - and check out the soundtrack, too!⁠ Link is in the profile 💙⁠ ⁠ #insleepyouknow #christianeknight #gothfae #eleriannan #urbanfantasy #contemporaryfantasy #fantasywritersofinstagram #youarethemagic #fantasyreaders #literaryquotes

"...I believe they can do better. If you can’t, "...I believe they can do better. If you can’t, it’s okay. I’ll believe for you. I’ve seen a lot of awful things in my time on this planet, but I have never, not once, thought that anyone was beyond saving.” - Vali⁠ ⁠ These optimistic words that Vali gives to Sousa during a pivotal moment during In Sleep You Know really sum up who her character is to me. Vali's been through some tough times, including recently living on the street, yet her upbeat personality has stayed intact. She's still ready to see the best in people - or at least give them the chance to do better. When things look the most bleak, I try to channel Vali's outlook. ⁠ ⁠ Vali Dawe is just one of the people you REALLY need to get to know from In Sleep You Know, A Story of the Eleriannan.
