I didn't have "swift" anywhere in three books. Must have been tailored that way. In its absence I'm going with "quick," in a scene from my new #WIP where a battle is going down between two versions of the same girl from different realities. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I didn't think I had any "mire" but here it is in my new #WIP. After being stranded in a parallel universe, Sassia is guided to a safe house by an angel assigned to the case. But will she stay out of sight? #WIPSnips #amwriting

At this point, Corin still thinks she'll get out of her simulation, so even though it's been a shit show she's feeling more sanguine. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I felt like leaving the beaten track and going off piste for today's #WIPSnips prompt of "leave" so I went with "leaves" for the opening of my new. #WIP. Here our MC is waking up in an alternate universe after a very fuzzy night. #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

For today's #WIPSnips we find Ella getting a makeover as her own male clone from her best friend. #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Ella is a victim of a crime of having her former DNA stolen but that has led to her being accused. Thankfully a trans rights-specialising lawyer steps in. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Just got my first ever full request from an agent! After a long tough haul in the trenches, this is just the lift I needed. #amquerying #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I had "yard" as part of some Americana when Corin goes on a road trip in her VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

From my new #WIP, this is the sapphic moment that leads to my MC's undoing, but the suspicion is it's a setup. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

A little snippet from the POV of the saboteur playing havoc with Corin's VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I had "practice" once as a verb in Mirror Me. Here, Ella is trying to break into the belly of the beast by passing herself off as her own male clone. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

She wanted to ball up whatever algorithms went into producing him and keep them in her pocket so she could have him whenever she wanted. Forget everything else about this entire thing – about the show, even – and just keep Randall. Would that be too much to ask? #WIPSnips "pocket" #amediting

Okay, this is long but I like this face-off between two counterparts from different universes meeting in the same one. From as yet untitled #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Haven't checked in for a while, been a rough week, but I finished it out strong with 1000 words added today. And a key turning point! Have a great weekend all. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Back to the very beginning of Mirror Me for today's #WIPSnips. Why not? #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

It looks like this is another word I use too much. Thanks #WIPSnips! Here, Marston is bursting Ella's bubble after she manages to bust out a clone from captivity. #WriteSky #amquerying #writingcommunity

Being pulled out of a sub-swimming pool basement after being shot, another thing that wasn't on Corin's bucket list for her VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Second attack from Ella's clone, but this time it doesn't go as planned. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

My novel isn't gathering dust because I have a dustpan. Ella is amazed at her transformation into her male-genome clone at the hands of her best friend. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

To keep things fresh I'm sharing my latest #WIP today. Where we learn that meeting your counterpart in an alternate universe is never a good idea. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

That's some good virtual coffee. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Ella is trying to acclimatise a clone to the real world. With no killing involved. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

A low point in Corin's AI adventure here. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Probably says a lot I don't have any "sane," only "insane." From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Having a bullet extracted in a backstreet flophouse wasn't exactly on Corin's to-do list for her VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

This comes right after the inciting incident in Mirror Me. The end of a very eventful night. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

It would be nice if Ella's best friend could be more enthusiastic about her investigation. Something fishy going on? #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Full disclosure: I tweaked my opening line for #1stlinepit so I believe it's as sharp as it could ever be. Will do another round of queries for agents opening in Sep, but it might be the last hurrah. Next month marks two years in the trenches! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

A peek behind the scenes before Corin enters her VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

In a case involving stolen DNA, Ella has no faith in the po-po to do anything useful. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I'm not on the 'gram much but I'm jumping in today for my first entry in #1stlinepit! Check out my opener here if you like www.instagram.com/p/DN-ykSODEmy/ Any support greatly appreciated. #writingcommunity #amquerying

The AI, so far working well, is involving Corin in the adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

In Mirror Me, Ella gets to speak to a whistleblower on the cloning racket. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

One of a few scrubs I had in Artificial Life. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Sticking to my latest #WIP today. The clash between two versions of the same girl from different universes is hotting up. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #amwriting #writingcommunity

A little glimpse behind the scenes before entering an immersive VR experience. Should Corin listen to those alarm bells? #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Two stands here close together but different in Mirror Me. Things are not going smoothly after our friends have liberated a clone. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

With my #WIP Artificial Life concerning a VR immersion adventure I had quite a few instances of this word. Back to the beginning here with happy, excited vibes... at least for now. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

And here's "snaked" in a very different context from Artificial Life. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

For today's #WIPSnips I was surprised to have a "snake" or "snaked" apiece in each of my three WIPs, including "rattlesnake" in a snip shared yesterday! Here's "snaked" in Mirror Me. #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

A moment of injustice that will shape how the story will unfold. From my untitled #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Another three "sames" here in Artificial Life, still at an early, excited stage. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

This is another word I probably have too much. I landed on this scene in Mirror Me where suspicion is running high. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I had one horn. This is where the VR simulation has gone pretty badly wrong in Artificial Life. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Back to the beginning of my #WIP, Sassia thinks she's been abandoned in a forest by her friends overnight but doesn't yet know she's actually woken up in an alternate universe. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

After breaking out a clone from the transitioning centre, Ella's suspicions of her best friend start around here. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Hear a lot about writers getting distracted by shiny new ideas during a #WIP. I have the opposite issue, it's all consuming and I look forward to a break to think about something else! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Being shot very realistically in a VR simulation isn't a good time. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #writingcommunity #WriteSky

Ella gets repercussions from messing with a sinister cloning ring, but it won't be the end of her investigation. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Didn't have the word "career" anywhere but at least in Mirror Me the two main characters have apparently steady jobs that both get a mention here. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #amquerying #writingcommunity
