#FebruaryWorldbuilders Maps! I have the city map of Fenholt which is nice and polished up as well as the hand drawn world map that I will someday convert to a digital version that looks far more professional. #WritingPrompts #Maps #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

#Febchantment Priestly magic is based on faith and intuition. It also depends on the domain of the god worshipped. For example, Spencer serves the goddess of death, so he can speak with the dead, call ghosts from across the veil and travel through the realm of the dead. 🧵 #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

Happy #AwesomeCharacters! In Eyes Shine Silver in Moonlight, the antagonist is Lionel Price, a charismatic cult leader and vampire. He's also the one who hired the werewolves 😬 Lionel's motives are primarily greed, but I very much enjoy writing his disturbing sermon/monologues ☺️

#AwesomeCharacters They have the ability to charm people in story, but I don't think they are likeable to the reader. They are not cartoonishly evil and have motivations that make sense, but they are pretty terrible people. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Wrencer

A new consultant contract at a Texas Educational Service Center would muzzle authors & harm students, barring them from inclusive experiences. Y'all, this is REALLY BAD. This is the next step in banning any voices outside those deemed right by white supremacy. bookriot.com/texas-esc-1-...

#Febchantment Day 2 My magic system is soft. I have a general idea of limits and capabilities for the magic, but since it is mostly faith based, even the priests using it don't know how it works, just that it does. Spencer is the magic 🧵 #Wrencer #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

#Febchantment Day 2 Do you have a "hard" or "soft" magic system? In other words, does your magic system have strictly defined rules (think: Brandon Sanderson's books)? Or is it more undefined, mostly vibes/rule of cool (think: Gandalf from LOTR)? Somewhere in between? #writingcommunity #writesky

#FebruaryWorldbuilders My series is basically an excuse to visit a different part of the world in each book. Book 1 is in Fenholt, book 2 the Great Fens, book 3 will be up north in Portis, and book 4 down south in Chaimberlay. #Wrencer #WritingPompts #WritingCommunity

#SundaySnips CW: implied sex The MCs of Grinks & Co. have lots of sex, yes, but they also genuinely like each other. Every 18+ scene includes lots of kissing and cuddling (both post-coital and during-coital). Not sorry. #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress #writingprompts #amwriting

#SundaySnips Eve and her boys. Just a cute moment. First time writing a Polycule relationship. #Writing

#Febchantment In Fenholt, and the broader world, magic is present but not prolific. The most common magic is faith based, granted by gods to their clergy, and very specific to that God's domain. Arcane magic is more rare and expensive, and wielded by wizards. 🧵 #writingcommunity #writesky #wrencer

#AwesomeCharacters For Spencer, the Gray Lady feels like home in a profound way. Stepping into the church or touching the power she's gifted him affects him on a spiritual level. But there are other things that feel like home in a more familial way 🧵 #Wrencer #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SundaySnips I have had a very busy weekend, so I am late digging into today's snips! Spencer and Wren are on a stakeout From my romantic fantasy novel, Thief of Death, about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Wrencer #HQpress

Sophia's parents are the only ones who know she's from a different reality. #SundaySnips #WriteSky

#SundaySnips This is from a short story about what love is for two ace teens~ I don't think I've shared it before, sooo... yeah~

#SundaySnips- affection I have two instances, and they are both kinda spoilery... but I'll share the redacted version, although if you know my characters, it won't be hard to guess! #HockeyFiction #Romancelandia #HockeyRomance #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #HQPress

For the #SundaySnips The Imperial Princess Hanada of Yanipol is confused by the display of affection when Zaiah's fiancé arrives from Anka. Cultural differences are confusing sometimes.

#SundaySnips Snippet from Sigils of Redemption (Book 3): At least Alderius' wild, carnivorous kidnapper likes him. For context, Thalia is not there. They're communicating through realms with an artifact from the end of the last book. #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #WIP

#SundaySnips This is a long one, the end of a short story. Milos doesn't like Hallowe'en and had a small meltdown at the office before this, so although Alex didn't grow up with the first idea of what affection is, he wanted to make him feel better. (Alt text continues in next post.)

#SundaySnips Feb 1: Affection Not the word, but definitely vibes, as Gwen and Hook take comfort in one another. #WritingPrompt #SapphicFiction #QueerWriters

#SundaySnips February 1st - "affection" (vibe) "'I trust her as I would my own child.' Effusive warmth filled Yadleen." - A Chime for These Hallowed Bones ( #Romantasy , #wip ), Ch. 3 #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress www.joumontfort.com/tales-of-the...

Ess is a con artist with forbidden magic, able to control minds through touch in a world where skin is taboo. Forced into a plot to infiltrate the forum, her attempts to seduce the majestor are somewhat undermined by the presence of his infuriating son. #WIPSnips

Uh-oh, Sanal. Your heart is showing! (Yes, Sanal is aroace. that does not stop them from feeling affection, loyalty, and *love*, it just doesn't fit the amatonormative narrative) #Shield&Scalpel #WriteSky #SundaySnips

I write lots of affectionate scenes because I think it's especially important for Sir Corbyn's character that he treats "bear-girl" so. He's understands she needs it even if it hurts him. I hope you enjoy this excerpt from The Knightbane's Prize. #Raven+Bear #SundaySnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#SundaySnips Can platonic affection count? I know I do waaaay too much telling here, & there's waaay too much forehead kissing, but I hardly care. “But if you give me–” Rider cut Song off sharply. “I am giving you my clothes, and that is the deal. You need to be warm. I don't."

I'm not yet happy with the scene this is from, but I'm going for showing the mentality of guys who feel if a woman actually wants sex, she's a slut #SundaySnips #writersky

#SundaySnips Here's a clip where Winnie and Deborah are talking about their relationship #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress

#SundaySnips Feb 1 An affectionate snip? Oh I'd love to! ❤️ From Book 3 of my #Atlantis trilogy. #writingcommunity #writesky #hqpress

#SundaySnips a snippet from an anniversary date in my WIP romance novel sequel :)

Through the open door, I saw Jesse puttering around the kitchen. He wasn’t actually nude for once—he wore an apron. “Smart,” I called. “Frying bacon in the nude can be painful.” He poked his head in the bedroom. “Morning handsome.” #SundaySnips #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress

I have some instances of the word that aren't super exciting, but many snips that show it. Hard to pick, but let's go with this one from Year 2 of my rock romance/drama serial, Ballad of the Philosopher Queens. I love showing an ordinary afternoon in Katie & Kyle's HEA. #SundaySnips

Two “exes” reuniting after three years✨ #SundaySnips from DecemberWIP for the word of the week ‘affection’ (text in ALT) #writesky #WritingPrompts #romancebooks #booksky

#SundaySnips I don’t actually have any romance in my wip, so father-daughter love it is ❤️

#SundaySnips Bayle, the butler, made a judgement call last night on his day off when he was planetside which, much to his consternation, caused him to be late to work in the morning…😬 Luckily, things are going well for his employer at the moment.

#SundaySnips Don't have the word itself, so here's a scene with a background couple being affectionate. The city the MC finds himself in was based on a terrarium, so there's a massive forest below with a normal city on top of it. Some folks go to the gap to watch the sunset.

#AwesomeCharacters Oh this is a fun one 😄 #Atlantis Book 1: Mireia sah-Ca'alab 45th Sea Mother, Fisher-Girl Amid controversy over Sea Mother tests, claims she "just wants to swim" Kena of the Barley-Eyed Clan 45th Sun Father, Gardener "I never said I'm from the Barley-Eyed Clan!" (He is) 🧵1/6

Hello #SundaySnips, here's a favourite little moment of mine (out of how many 😂) from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

#SundaySnips | affection Back near the start of Silver in the Ashes, and Archer's about to take advantage of his ability to go wolfshaped to do a little scouting ( saranadosfiction.com/2021/06/26/s... )

Many of the affectionate moments between Mitali and Sam contain spoilers, so here's one with Sam and Tara. It's not romantic love, but they deeply love each other as friends and sisters. Part of it had to be taken out for spoilers. #SundaySnips #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writesky #Writing

#SundaySnips | Affection #⚔️🌿🌼 I love writing Avery and Tristan's romance in The Witch of Eden Hollow 💕 This is a snippet from their elopement in the forest, with Elias there to witness and officiate for them.
