Why You Cannot Simply Open with the Inciting Incident
Advice that may be leading you astray....

I am Dax Murray, queer fantasy author. This is my home for my works in progress and my serial fiction. I write epic fantasy with disabled and sapphic protagonists set in queer normative worlds.
I update my serials (The Last Page and Crossroads of Fate) twice a month and my WIP (currently Shackles and Shards) sporadically as I write it. Please sign up to a paid member starting at only $1 to get and the latest updates and to help support my work so I can keep creating.
Free members can read previously completed seasons for each serial. Paid members, Sorcerers and Enchanters, get full access!
