Honestly though... me too for The Messenger.

#writingprompt Jim would love to take revenge on the people who've hurt him, but he would totally fuck up somehow if he tried. Gabriel, being an angel, doesn't plan revenge. Whatever he does is righteous judgement.

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts I mentioned the song "Jeremy" having a symbolic meaning in this story. Jim hears it on the radio.

#novmemeber let's play two truths and a lie: 1. I have an autograph from Emo Phillips 2. I worked at Disneyland for a few years 3. I learned everything I could about seahorses when I was little because I was obsessed with them.

#awesomecharacters #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts OMG Jim absolutely HATES surprises. He would totally panic, even if it were a good surprise. Gabriel on the other hand is much too calm to be surprised by anything. Except maybe a heretical idea that made it into his head somehow

Oh no I don't have enough content for my author platform, whatever shall I do? 😒 Ill share stories when I have any energy at all to work on something that isn't a novel. In the meantime everyone gets NOTHING BUT CRUMBS.

No donations yesterday!! Anything helps!! #HelpSky 💕💸

#wipsnips #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity The very first words of my manuscript. Jim meets his son for the first time.

#novmemeber OK this might have taken Two Minutes instead of one cause I had to figure out how to change the pen color. Jim wearing his hardware store apron.

#awesomecharacters #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Jim would absolutely love taking care of plants and pets with nobody else in the house. In fact, he'd probably take care of them better than you could. He would also microwave something for 45 minutes and set your house on fire.

Why is it the minute the weather starts to truly turn cold, I crave ice cream? And when the beginning of summer hits, I desperately want hot tea?

Extremely Millennial person here. The only thing I've never done is (17) because I always got lost using a paper map... 👀

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Jim tries to navigate a conversation with his ex's current beau, Mike.

The whole starving artist thing is BS. I write more if I don't have to use all my brain power worrying about where my next meal is coming from.

Anyone else get a suspicious request from "blueskys"moderation team to verify your account?

#novmemeber Jim's working (barely) at a hardware store, until he has a vision that ruins everything...

#mockpit #revpit Jim Erlenmeyer has been plagued by trauma since the age of ten, after his grandfather committed suicide. When Jim's mental illness transforms into terrifying visions of past lives, it's up to his therapist, his pet rat, and Jim to help him claw back his inner peace--or die trying.

#wipsnips #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity Jim tries to find the little white rat he found at the department store.

#mockpit #fifrevpit The Archangel Gabriel was not meant to falter, to fall. But an unapologetic human witch, and Gabriel's own doubts in God’s plan, may break his faith beyond repair as the end of the world closes in.

#fifrevpit #writingcommunity I (40M) got fired through NO FAULT of my own, and now my sister (39) is going to kick me out of the house if I don't go to therapy, which I DO NOT NEED. I did grope myself in front of my boss, but I was totally unconscious at the time. AITA?

#Novmemeber "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam is mentioned in my book. It represents my MCs inner turmoil and PTSD he suffered as a child, and the themes point to some very dark foreshadowing...

#awesomecharacters I know I've talked about Jim and rats a lot, but a rat really is the perfect representation for him: they're profoundly misunderstood, cuddly with the potential to be dangerous if frightened or handled wrong. They need friends to survive but prefer dark quiet places.

NAUSICAÄ X FF7 Hana believes she is meant to save the world, Matthias wants it to end, Kalyn will cross lines to save everyone, and Prince Evan is just along for the ride. An oppressive anti-magic order and demons aren't as difficult as working together. #questpit #Q #F #A

BOY PARTS x OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA She was meant to preserve the artist she loved. Instead, she became her. A literary horror about obsession, authorship, and the curator who devours a vanished woman’s life piece by piece. #questpit #LF #H #Q

#questpit #q #a #f THE MESSENGER Parable of the Sower x Paradise Lost The Archangel Gabriel was not meant to falter, to fall. But an unapologetic human witch, and Gabriel's own doubts in God’s plan, may break his faith beyond repair as the end of the world closes in.

#novememeber #writersky #writingcommunity There isn't really a true antagonist in American Buddha, it's more man against himself, but Jim's sister Carla is pretty antagonizing. As much as she yells at him and makes him feel like shit, she really does care about him deep down.

#fifrevpit #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky Jim (American Buddha) would bring nothing, because he'd forget he was supposed to bring a dish and he can't cook anyway. Gabriel (The Messenger) would bring nothing, because he's an angel and doesn't need to eat and can't cook, anyway.

#wipsnips #writesky #wrtingcommunity #writingprompts Jim is *this close* to getting fired by his manager, Kevin.

hope and change? in this country? who could have predicted it.

#bookvember #booksky #writesky Brian Jaques and the Redwall series. The voices of all the characters are so distinct! It didn't really matter that the scale of the tiny animals and the castle didn't make sense (there are horses mentioned--are the horses tiny? Are the mice/rats huge?)

#bookvember #booksy #writesky #writingcommunity I had a huge set of children's encyclopedias that I adored, before Google became a thing. Also, ZOOBOOKS! I was obsessed with animal facts. My mom said I poured over the elephant issue a million times before I could even read.

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Both incidences of "steel" in my WIP are pretty spoilery, so I went with "metal" instead. Jim tries to get through his first therapy appointment with Ben.

"I want you out of my house! Don't come back here ever again!" #fifrevpit

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Jim brings his rat to his therapy session, much to his therapist's dismay.

#novmemeber The first line of my query for American Buddha: Jim Erlenmeyer is anxious, depressed, and has a schizophrenic voice in his head that sounds like Al Pacino.

#awesomecharacters I think about them to the point of distraction 😅 seriously I would quit work tomorrow if all I had to do was think about my stories all day.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Ok, meta question today! Do you think about your characters only when you are writing their story? Or do you think about them at other times and in other situations, even if you never write about it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Don't have "cobweb" but I do have "spider"... sort of. It counts. TW for self harm.

#writingprompt When something you've been struggling with just suddenly clicks, a plot element or a character arc, and that's the part that you love to read over and over again once you've written it because it's JUST SO GOOD.

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts I don't have "ancestor" but my whole book is about generational trauma, so I suppose dad and grandpa would work!

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

I'm the king of kings I'm not the king of kings but I'm the wreckage of a king but really I'm not actually a king but I am... Shattered visage in the desert by the stone legs wrinkles its lip at you. See my works, ye mighty, and despair!

#wipsnips #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity Boy I sure had to stre-e-etch for this one! I had the word "monstera" weirdly enough. Jim opens up slightly at his second therapy session with Ben.

TIL

#writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts Oh hey I have this one! Jim recovers from a frightening hallucination.

He didn’t know how much longer he could keep up any kind of facade, convincing or not. No amount of anxiety exercises were going to help. Jim reminded himself to blink at the next person he saw. #writingprompt #writingcommunity
