“Shake hands with them. You can learn a lot from a handshake,” Kylie said. “Trader wisdom?” Julian asked. “Yes. Do it softly, but confidently.” She extended her hand. Suppressing a chuckle, Julian's thumb gently swept over her wrist and she mirrored his light grip. #WipSnips

“We can make it two dances. But, I’m out of practice and I can’t guarantee that I won’t stumble onto your foot." Julian raised his arm, twirling Kylie underneath. She gasped as he deftly stopped her within an inch of him. “I suggest you’re mistaken. You’ll be an excellent partner tonight.” #WipSnips

I find walk & plots are very helpful. I just figured out one of the plot points for the chapter that I'm working on. #amwriting #writerscommunity

This afternoon, I'm re-potting a few plants. Then, I'll probably do some writing. I have to rework a chapter based on some ripples that I created. #amwriting #WriteSky

'I’m your friend Kameriss', she thought, but the dragon couldn’t read her mind anymore. 'Friend', she projected instead. Steeling herself for the icy onslaught, she still wasn’t prepared for the bone chilling cold Kameriss blasted in her face. #WipSnips #amwriting #fantasy

My draft wasn't working, but I think I've figured out how to rework one of the character arcs to make it much better. Writing two POVs is hard! #amwriting #WriteSky

My writing goal this week is to update a chapter of my WIP so I can send it to my CP. I'm currently trying to finish the first draft of a fantasy novel. I also have a semi-secret project that I'm working on for this year. But, I won't make any announcements yet. #amwriting #WriteSky

I set my reading goal for the year to be 52 books. I read 87 last year. It's not that I plan on reading less, I just want to make the goal achievable. #amreading

Kylie had danced with Julian until well past midnight and after the walk home, she was invigorated by the fresh air. #WipSnips #amwriting

A clipped a bit longer snippet for "goblet". #WipSnips #amwriting #fantasy

From the angle of the camera it was difficult to see what she was doing, other than turning the bike on. #WipSnips #amwriting #scifi

This month, I've been doing more crocheting than writing. It was nice to take a break, but I'm ready to get back to my draft and get it finished. #amwriting

A chickadee chirped high in the trees. #WipSnips #amwriting #WriteSky

“Why did you pick these companions? They question your requests, but not in a manner that demonstrates trust.” #WipSnips #amwriting

Kylie nodded. “I understand. So is there something all four tokens have in common other than being created by you?” #BookishTues

I don't specifically look for holiday-themed books. They are usually promoted more in the season, so I'm more likely to pick them up and read them then. #momswritersclub

She got on the hover bike. Wow, was the seat ever comfortable? She'd heard that they were a better design, but she hadn't sat on one before. #WipSnips #amwriting #scifi

I haven't posted a snippet in a while. I wonder which WIP I should pull one from. 🤔 #amwritingfantasy #amwritingscifi

I might not be making progress on finishing writing my book. But, my crochet projects are going really well! This is my first try at crocheting with seed beads. After I restarted a few times, I got the hang of how to do it. #crochet #crochetbeads #beading

Danford kneeled before Kylie, followed by Leitrim and Julian. Kylie caught her breath and took a moment to find the trader’s calm within herself. She watched the group as they too kneeled before her in dedication. #WIPSnips #amwritingfantasy

Kylie slid the right foot forward again. Her toe slid down into the sand deeper than it should have. She froze and moved her foot sideways, zigzagging across the field. #WipsSnips

I like to just sit down and start writing. Usually, I take a few minutes to think about the main character and the basic conflict of the story. Then I let the characters drive the story. #MomsWritersClub

Hi! I'm Ann. I'm finishing the draft of a fantasy novel. I'm also warming up to the idea of self publishing a book next year. #momswritersclub

You asked us about #editing stuff and #RevPit #editors loved answering you. Still have questions about your #manuscript? Ask away, we’re here for you. #RevPitFiF #Authorsky #WritingCommunity #Writersky

“What if the clue has been destroyed?” “It doesn’t matter. You’re clever. You’ll find something of value to work with. Just because the tokens were set out to point you in the right direction, doesn’t mean they always will.” #WipSnips #amwritingfantasy

My MC would be excited to discover a family heirloom. It's likely to be some amethyst jewelry or an old journal. #FiFRevPit

I think I'll go for a short walk at lunch and figure out how the chapter that I'm writing should wrap up. #walkandplot #amwriting

I kept the animals in my fantasy novel similar to what we have. They keep cats and dogs as pets. In the wild, there are bears, snakes, song birds and other animals. In another fantasy novel I wrote, there are dragons. #FiFRevPit #Revpit

I would love to find a CP today :))) I write mostly adult fantasy and sci-fi (staying on one project for long just isn't my style lol), but I'm currently focused on a fantasy about magical beasts and struggles with identity DM if you want to connect/swap! #FiFRevPit

Adult contemporary romance writer looking for CPs or anyone interested in forming a writing group that meets regularly. #FiFRevPit #WritingCommunity

Would love one or two new CPs for an upmarket/book club comedy. Romance as a B-plot. Similar vibes to Schitts Creek. :) get in touch if interested! #FiFRevPit #amwriting #critiquepartners #PitRev #bookclub #upmarket #writingcommunity

Would love to find some CPs (maybe a group?) who also write queer characters. Also looking to make more writer friends on here! #FiFRevPit #amwriting #writingcommunity

Would like to find a CP or two to swap YA fantasy, sci-fi or mystery MS, and continue to share revisions with. I would be open to adult/no erotica or religious topics. My WIPs include a YA grounded fantasy, dystopian and an older adult suspense. #FiFRevPit #Match

reposting w new hashtags, just in case! #FiFRevPit #match #A #F

This is a great opportunity! I'm not currently looking for additional CPs, but I found mine in this type of event. #RevPit #FiFRevPit

The current book I'm reading is a contemporary romance and I'm writing a fantasy novel. My MC may be surprised by all of the technological advances. She would adapt well, since she's accustomed to being thrown into unusual situations. #FiFRevPit #RevPit #writersky

“You’ve done everything within the guild laws that a new trader can do to save their route. Instead of rushing, why not build your reputation and buy back the Westriver route in a few years? Join me. I'd love to have you as a partner for a few seasons," Gavin said. #WipSnips #WritingCommunity

I wonder how likely it is that I can squeeze in a writing sprint this evening without being interrupted? 🤔 #amwriting

In my sci-fi books, the MCs are usually engineers. That's deliberate since I'm an engineer. Usually some of my hobbies end up sliding into the stories too, like gardening or photography or baking. #momswritersclub #amwriting

Last week, I revised a couple of chapters that I'd written to fix some ripples. This week, I should be able to write a new chapter. #FiFRevPit
