A song for the daughters on reaping day in my main character's village

The Reaping Song

Verse 1:
When the moon is full and bright
And the shadows dance in the night
We hear the whispers in our ears
The Reaping is drawing near

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 2:
We never know who they will pick
We only hope they do it quick
We hug our daughters and we pray
The Reaping will spare them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 3:
We see the cloaks and hear the bells
We know they cast their wicked spells
We watch them drag the girls away
The Reaping has claimed them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Outro:
The Reaping is over for now
But we know they will come back somehow
We live in fear and we obey
The Reaping will come again

Spicy scenes and having family read it

I have a confession to make: I’m very shy when it comes to anything ‘spice’ related. You know, the kind of scenes that make your heart race and your cheeks flush.

Instead, I use a code word: ‘uh uh scenes’. But that doesn’t stop them from teasing me, especially my younger brother and older brother. They think it’s funny how I get embarrassed by something so natural and normal. Maybe it’s because I’m autistic that I have trouble with this. I’ve always been sensitive to sensory stimuli and emotions. Sometimes, they overwhelm me and I don’t know how to express them. Writing has been a way for me to cope and communicate, but writing spicy scenes is a whole different challenge. I found out the only way I could write those scenes and share them with my older brother was when I get high. Yes, you read that right. I get high and write ...

How I chose my Pen Name for fantasy writing

One of the most important decisions for a writer is choosing a pen name. A pen name is a name that you use instead of your real name when you publish your work. It can help you create a distinctive identity, protect your privacy, and appeal to your target audience. I have been writing fantasy stories on Wattpad for a while, and I have changed my pen name several times. When I first joined Wattpad, I went by the name of KittyPrydeofxmen, because I was a fan of the X-Men comics and movies. Then I changed it to Silkytiger because I liked the sound of it and it had a feline touch. However, neither of these names felt right for me as a fantasy writer. I wanted a pen name that would reflect my genre and style and sound professional and memorable. I also wanted to avoid using my real name, because I wanted to keep my personal and writing lives separate. So I started looking for a pen name that would suit me as a fantasy author. I searched online for some inspiration and found a pseudonym name...
