G'morning #WIPSnips! This is an exceptional snip from Cavern Clipper that gives a bit of a view into Sam's character going forward, if only a sliver of it. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow. An absolute must-watch. (Starts at 20:10 but the entire interview is a joy.) youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag

"All I knew, all I've ever known, was how to keep my mouth shut and my head down. Except for… for him.” Henry. “These walls are built of tombstone, but rather than join the dead, she tried dancing with the ghosts, even a few of her own." - my WIP, When Morning Comes #WIPSnips

'Joseph was quite obviously trying not to look at Marie. But that funny cow, Caroline, couldn’t take her jealous eyes off my partner, except to make sure her own man wasn’t overcome with lust for her. I wondered whether Joseph had any idea what that woman he said he loved was really like.'

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is that old stalwart, English Breakfast. Keep calm and carry on.

From "Laughter of the Hunted Gods," my philosophical godpunk WIP. A flashback from the Philosopher, the architect of an age of wonders powered by hunting down gods to cull the divine spark. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Nope to the nopety fuck no.

On the scale of "horrible things this administration is guilty of", this is rather low, I suppose. But as a lifelong librarian, this one hurts my heart in a unique and bitter way. #impeachNOW

They will never be sorry for what they did. They think it's their RIGHT to do this shit. But please, PLEASE let's fix the system & get to the point where we at LEAST make them sorry they got caught. Really super extra, publicly, humiliatingly, life-without-paroley, hard bench bed forever sorry

Back to Piper for today's snippet, because the 'confident' instances in all the other WIPs I looked at needed too much explanation. At this point, it's getting clearer everyone really needs to know where they stand. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

It’s one of those days where my children have woken me up at the exact wrong times so that I’m posting this at 5 something in the morning and not getting nearly enough sleep tonight 🫠 #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

#WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers #writesky Oh boy this scene is so spoilery but I'm going for it 😆 Mireia & Kena explore somewhere they probably shouldn't be. How'd they get there? What did she feel? 🤷‍♀️ Also yes they can turn invisible lol From Book 2 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

Alan just got out of prison, loose on Infinus and in control of the onboard computer. Sadly some bodies need disposal...Alan has ideas #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #sff #StatuesErode

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is Golden Monkey with orange zest. You may now go on about your day.

The Onion, yet again blurring the line between incisive journalism and satire.

The only people in this situation I feel bad for are the children. Just imagine how awful it would be to grow up as the child of an ICE employee. Oh.... And the sick without medical care thing too. But that would be fixable with universal health care. There's no fixing having a heartless parent.

Terrific story about community.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

"My dear little librarian, pile up enough tomorrows and you'll find you've collected nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering."

Some good news is always welcome.

G'morning #WIPSnips. So... since we're back on Cavern Clipper, I might as well bite the bullet and start snipping the parts I previously danced around. This was the only mention of perish in the WIP. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Forget college classes, tell me the five best vegetables: Acorn squash, radish, green beans, tomato, and asparagus.

Follow Mike. You'll be glad you did. (I know I am!)

I've been using Cosmos for a while just because there's a browser extension and it links to the sites I save images from. I haven't used it much for compiling reference material, but so far it's a really good pinterest alternative

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is Numi organic chocolate pu-erh. You may now return to your mundane Monday.

No zeal, but enthusiasm: 'Sam had agreed, much against his better judgment, to do the photography, hence his lack of enthusiasm when we’d met. He swallowed his irritation and made no task of gathering groups together, garnering smiles with daft remarks, and earning admiration from all the women.'

#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."

#WIPSnips I don’t have zeal but I do have overzealous. Kaleidoscope starts with a protest attacked by riot cops several major characters are at or near the protest. This is from the only time Soo-Young and Dana meet in the book. #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

We all gaslight ourselves

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

TEA ALERT: This morning's #tea is Golden Monkey with dried elderberry and raspberry leaf. You may now go back to your Sunday routines.
