Sassia's first encounter with her alternative universe counterpart is like an out of body experience. From untitled #WIP #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

My first full week back at writing for a while although I spent it reading through my previously started #WIP. Despite obvous shoddy mistakes it might be a diamond in the dust. How is your writing so far in 2026? #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

No "canvas", nearest I could find was "painting". Corin makes a brief visit to her idol's home in the VR experience in Artificial Life. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

The moment when Sassia reaches her house in an alternate universe. "Awkward" doesn't quite cover it. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Sassia's alternative universe counterpart is being very friendly now, but what's behind it? From my new #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

For anyone heading back to college or work this morning, this might hit home. From Artificial Life #amediting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Ella finds an inside source who offers some insight on the origin of the cloning racket. From Mirror Me #amquerying #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

In my new #WIP, a look at Kahlia, a supernatural being currently hosted in a teenage girl who has a job on her hands trying to keep track of two versions of the same person in one universe. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

An AI giving you everything you want - could it be too good to be true? From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Calm" is something I hope we all feel as we head into another year in a crazy world. Here my MC is far from calm as she heads home but doesn't yet realise she's in a parallel world. From my new #WIP (work restarting this week) #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

No "resolution," but "resolve." Ella is trying to get a liberated clone to think for himself, but it'll take some adjustment. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

⭐️BETA READERS WANTED⭐️ Seeking #BetaReaders for ARTIFICIAL LIFE, a YA sci-fi complete at 70k words in which a girl must escape the clutches of an AI monstrosity that has trapped her in a VR world. Happy to swap. Deadline would be February 28th. DMs okay. #WritingCommunity

Happy New Year! For "begin" I'm turning to the moment Corin enters the VR experience of a lifetime. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I found the end right at the beginning. So why not post the opening of Mirror Me again. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Yay! My dystopian satire riffing on AI and VR is through intensive edits and beta ready. My 2026 resolution is to complete the draft I set aside for it and learn to multitask. #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity #resolutions #HappyNewYear2026

Okay, sticking with Scottish themes today. Country core vibes with a seasoning of cutting edge tech. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

On a frosty yet sunny Hogmanay Eve day, this feels apt. Everyone in Scotland will relate. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Planning to get this book beta ready by the end of the year. Three chapters and two days to go. All hands on deck! #amediting #writing #writingcommunity

No "clobber," here's "punch" with a surviving victim of a clone attack in Mirror Me. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Wordle 1,654 2/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Great start to the week after crapping out yesterday!

"Thread," suspicion is falling on Ella's former best friend near the denouement of Mirror Me. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

A very singular type for Corin - and unfortunately, fictional. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Hope everyone's staying sane at this busy time. Don't have any goblets - not really the right genre - so I've downgraded to a plain old cup. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I've shared this before but I like it so much I had to share it again. Inspired by a family in-joke. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

A more lighthearted scene (just before it turns darker) in Artificial Life with a Scooby Doo vibe. Corin and Randall are caught in the act breaking into a house to retrieve a stolen trophy. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Default," I had a couple. Here's one from early in Artificial Life where the VR experience of her favourite show seems way out of Corin's grasp. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

From my new #WIP. Sorry if this is rough. Sassia lost in memories of trying to get high, which might not be what you think. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Request" From Artificial Life, currently in its second edit. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

No "clay". As a tennis fan I thought lateral and went with its opposite (?), "grass". To her surprise Sassia finds her alternate universe counterpart is more than a match. From my new #WIP #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Didn't think I would have "moist", did have "moisture". In this scene from my new #WIP my MC has been stitched up. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Still in a dreamy, floaty, dopamine state. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Into the heart of the machine as Ella infiltrates the clone hive. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Marston seems like the voice of reason here, or is he hiding something? From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Fight the powers that be. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Full." Ella talks to someone who's trying to blow the whistle on the cloning scheme. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Sassia isn't going to be take being trapped in a small room while in an alternate reality, even if it's in the interest of preventing disturbance to the multiverse. #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

The AI is doing things on the hoof at this point, which Corin might be able to use to her advantage to escape. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Just completed a first edit of my #WIP with the help of my wonderful critique partners. Still have a few questions and things to tighten up but overall I'm amazed this seems so serviceable. How are you doing at this busy time of year? #5amwritersclub #amediting #WritingCommunity

Didn't have "fourth" so I went creative with "quarter". Here Ella is imitating her own clone and smuggled herself into his quarters. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Empty", this is one of my favourite scenes from Mirror Me. A dream sequence where the day Ella's life began is now twisted by recent events. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

In Artificial Life, Corin posts one last update before entering the metaverse. Still good vibes at this point. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Started my weekend by sending out three more queries. Now there's just the small matter of forgetting about them. #amquerying #writingcommunity #writinglife

Unsurprisingly for a story about AI/VR, Artificial Life has a lot of instances of "screen". Here's an early example where Corin's adventure still seems marvellous and exciting, but there's still a flutter of trepidation. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"City" From Mirror Me, the venue that once held so much hope as the start of Ella's new life now terribly tainted. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Percent" The crux of Mirror Me, something that should be so positive used for nefarious ends. Now Ella is on the case. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

My unfinished #WIP so far has many more instances of "belong" than my others, but being it's about someone stuck in the wrong universe, maybe not too surprising. Couldn't resist sharing this scene where my MC breaks into the alternative version of her own bedroom and is instantly repulsed. #WIPSnips

And much later, with Corin trapped in the VR simulation, we have some Groundhog Day vibes. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I have two scenes with "belong" from Artificial Life, and like them both enough to share today. First, here's one lift you definitely don't want to get stuck in. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

There's a lot of numbers in this scene from Artificial Life. A swimming pool might provide the way into an underground bunker, James Bond style. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

"Zigzag," another word I was surprised to have. Here we're at the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-style institution the AI has hastily knocked up. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity
