#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Mireia and Xa'aba have a disagreement on how best to deal with the cult who wants to overthrow Mireia... From my upcoming book THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, Part 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky I've posted this snip before I think, but it's one of my faves. Mireia is having a little existential crisis & really needs a hug... or maybe more than a hug ❤️ From Book 2 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders The Shadow Siege started over a thousand years ago because a fanatical group of Fains known as the Cult of the Undying were determined to defeat death itself. They had already been defeated in their own lands and decided to flee 🧵 #Wrencer #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

Procrastinate = delay Elton and Wren are having a quiet moment together. From my romantic fantasy, Thief of Death, about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WipSnips #Wrencer #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters Wren's parents were wonderful to her, but died when she was 8 years old from an epidemic that swept through Fenholt. Her and her siblings (1 brother, 1 sister, both older) were taken in by her Uncle who was very critical and 🧵 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Wrencer

#AwesomeCharacters #Atlantis: Mireia has a big biological family & has a very good relationship with them. Though they're far away for much of the story, they remain a powerful source of comfort & clarity in her life. Kena's biological family sucked & he ran away from them as soon as he could.🧵1/6

Spencer and company are greeted by an unusual welcoming party. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

Wow, this looks so good, Emily!!! This is awesome!!!

Keep yourselves warm & safe out there, friends ❤️❤️

Spencer is tapping into some serious magic. From book 2 of my romantasy WIP about a thief with a heart of gold and a priest of the dead. #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #HQpress #Wrencer

Welcome to #SundaySnips! A once-a-week prompt game for writers hosted by myself and @hookandquillpress.com It's pretty drab at this point in the year. Are things withering where you are? #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress

What a great question! Everything about the creative process is a learning opportunity, including regrets.

Wren finds Spencer’s tattoo. From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writers #writesky From Mireia's first meeting with Kena, before they're chosen as the new gods. Mireia is sure she's not attracted to him, but this description sure is detailed 😂 From my upcoming book THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, Part 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

#AwesomeCharacters #Atlantis: Mireia is kind of a mix. She can enjoy the present, but tends to be future-focused a lot of the time, fixating on what kind of person she'll be, what kind of legacy she'll leave, who will remember her when she dies. This gets worse when she becomes Sea Mother... 🧵1/9

#LoreOutLoud I'll put a token amount of work in, or if fiction isn't flowing at all, I'll work on some writing admin e.g. blog post, newsletter. Then I will care for myself with a good book, or some Star Trek 🖖

Transfer = exchange Hazel gets more attention than she wants first thing in the morning. From Herbs and Iron, a cozy romantasy about a witch returning home to reopen her gran's herb shop and reconnect with the blacksmith she left behind. #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Herbs&Iron

#pretendpanel So until recently I might have said no to this. And perhaps regret is a strong way of putting it. But now that I am more experienced as a writer, I look back on some of my floundering with my first novel project and I feel a pinch of, yes, perhaps, regret. 1/2 >>>

Birbs! I use bird imagery a lot in book 1 of my series because the main character is named Wren. But, in book 2, they head out into a wetland area that has Emperor Cranes. 6 foot tall with a purple crest on their heads and down their necks. #WritingPrompts #Critterary #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

Violet haggles with her dragon host, hoping to trade rare treasures for access to his library. From my cozy monster romance WIP about an ambitious wizardess and a dragon who hoards books. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wizardess

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writers #writesky One of my favorite scenes 😄 Kena meets Mireia's family for the first time, namely her bondmother Calu'u, who can be a little extra 😂 From my upcoming book THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, Part 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

Oh no, Katniss!!! We need an emergency belly rub response system ❤️❤️💔 at least she's being so brave and sweet about it ☺️

Thank you so much, Tara!!!

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky I'm pretty sure I've shared this one before but my only other hit was a spoiler 😅 Noah finds a stash of his mom's old paintings. From #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.

#AwesomeCharacters Spencer's weird meter is pretty high. The things he sees are somewhat common for a priest of the Gray Lady, but not for the average person in his world. Once he get's tangled up with Wren and the quest to 🧵 #Wrencer #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters #Atlantis: Mireia starts off pretty sheltered, so there's a lot in the world she hasn't seen! I think the weirdest thing she sees in Book 1 is a trippy god vision inside a labyrinth, which might just be a drug-hallucination 😅 Kena is more experienced with the world, so it's a

Spencer is middle class. He doesn't have much money but his role as a priest and community leader gives him a certain amount of cultural clout despite lacking money. Wren was born wealthy, but after her parents died and ran away to join the Blackboots 🧵 #JanuaryWorldbuilders #Wrencer #WritingPrompt

Spencer invites Wren into his bedroom. 👀 From book 2 of my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Just Mem being an awkward bean as she tries not to blow it with a hot guy she just met 😅 From #Charagma, my SFF dystopia where all people are marked saved or damned from birth. It's not all bleak, lol

Wowowowowow. Even just in this snip, Mireia's growth and her journey are so inspiring ❤️❤️ #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writesky

#JanuaryWorldbuilders As a kid I was inspired to write about Atlantis thanks to: - Those "Dear America" books that were epistolary historical fiction for kids - My love of the Myst games & especially the world of Riven - A PBS documentary about Atlantis I watched with my dad. No, it wasn't the🧵

So glad you asked!! I am an actual bee keeper, and the inspiration for bee book came from getting actual real bees!!! Last spring, my partner and I made the decision to add bees to our little farm in Texas with no clue it would kick off a novel-length story of bug porn. How?+ #Januaryworldbuilders

One of my favorite moments in Bludeye Beach between Edie and her father Teddy; after spending most of her life without her dad in it, Edie gets the benefit of some fatherly advice. (also ICYMI Bludeye Beach is available digitally, links on my website eliwoodsgheist.com ❤️) #indieauthor #booksky

#amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Good morning #WIPSnips, I'm back after a short hiatus! 😁 Here's a little snippet from #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.

Oh it's a free #critterary slot? All right all right all right... When I was 10, I wrote a hundred pages of a badly drawn comic called Pokémon 4000. With new pokémon to go with it. I started digitising these as a lockdown project but life got busy. Link below...

Well we could talk about the post-fall-of-humanity-and-reckless environmental-abuse climate which means water is so valuable it’s used as currency… Or the giant insects populating the world, some of which are still just as flesh-eating or blood sucking as their smaller forms + #Januaryworldbuilder
