Honestly I think it's my opening line: "When I’m inside someone else’s head, I prefer to be a cat." #CampRevPit #OneLineMc #CRPDirewolves

I love the word convoluted and for some reason have never ever used it in any WIP. Here's "complicated" from Light Wielding. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

I hiked all the way to the bottom of the canyon with 109 thousand words in my pack, then realized I have to leave 9 thousand words behind or I'll never make it back to the top. #CampRevPit #CampMap #CRPDireWolves

The Moth King, full of surprises. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

Hi #CampRevPit campers! My WIP is a dark fantasy with Nosferatu vibes: An enchantress with forbidden magic must defeat an ancient necromancer who uses the life energies of murdered men to animate his dead lover’s body. #CampKickoff #CRPDirewolves

When your magic instructor is the same kind of monster that abducted your brother #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

This is what happens when you ask a faerie prince to sign a hotel document #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

This is why I hate bears

I have three completed manuscripts where pretty much every word counts as vibes 😂 but here is a use of the actual word from Light Wielding and Other Mortal Magics #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

This one was hard. I guess "duration" isn't really a me word. So here's Soryl worrying that she'll be stuck in Gerald the guard's mind for the "duration." Sort of. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Every time the Moth King ports Sunday somewhere, she gets nauseous, which is quite inconvenient when you're about to go treat with a vampire thing. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

Sunday finds out that the child-snatching forest hag might have complex motivations #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

Sunday is trying to figure out how long she's been locked up in her comfy prison. From "Light Wielding and Other Mortal Magics" (formerly "The Moth King") #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

That's a great question! In the second act, my antagonist goes searching for information about Macsen and learns that not only was he a king, he was a *beloved* king. Everything she finds about him is either neutral or irritatingly positive. #AntagonistApril #WriteSky

Sunday meets Jahnari, who is arguably the most important character in the book. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

No, but Macsen was shut up inside a tomb for several hundred years ... 💀 #AntagonistApril #WritingCommunity #Writers

From Death & the Dreamer: Soryl and Win are exploring the Necropolis. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Here's Sunday comparing the Moth King to a Starbucks manager. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

Not really. Macsen used to be a king, so he has “I’m right and everything I do is just” in his DNA #AntagonistApril #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Is anyone else at the Sacramento writer’s conference today? #WritingCommunity #Writers #Writing #WriteSky

This is a bit spoilery ... so I won't tell you *why*, but here's Soryl and Win approaching the tomb of Macsen Fawr. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Soryl thinks Macsen is evil, but she thinks (or at least wants to believe) that he's manipulating Tova and that most of the decisions Tova makes are really his decisions. #AntagonistApril

This one is from "Light Wielding and Other Mortal Magics" (formerly "The Moth King"). Sunday recently had an awkward encounter with the king and has been hoping to avoid him. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

💕💗 love 💗💕

Tova's been sick for a couple of days, and now, in a complete 180, she's decided to get flirty with Win in the creepiest way possible. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

I don't use shortcut anywhere but here's Soryl and Win taking the back way out of Morgah #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Kinda. I mean I've made it all pretty obvious on BlueSky, but a reader who wasn't forewarned might know Tova was the antagonist but wouldn't necessarily figure out about Macsen unless paying very close attention to Tova's behavior. At least I *hope* so. #AntagonistApril

My one and only "rampant," from Losing You Backward. Fion didn't think she would ever see Joric again, but here they are. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

I love my antagonists and like to think their motives are relatable (they love each other, and all they really want to do is survive and be together) but the lengths they have to go to do both those things are pretty despicable, and I'm not sure anyone will find them redeemable. #AntagonistApril

I didn't think I had this one until I remembered Tess is always drinking coffee in Opus (haven't worked on this MS in a while) #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

Macsen is the main antagonist. He was once called "The Dead King" because he fell on his own sword and then resurrected himself. In the story, he's become a bodiless parasite who must harvest energy from murdered people to survive but it's OK because everything he does is for love 💕 #AntagonistApril

North knows exactly how cute he is #Caturday #CatsofBlueSky #Gato

No "forum" anywhere, so here's "meeting" from Light Wielding and Other Mortal Magics (formerly "The Moth King") #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

I have three manuscripts I’m actively working on but my favorite antagonists are Tova and Macsen in Death & the Dreamer. My goal with them was to create a romantic couple more dysfunctional than Elen Hutter and Count Orlok.

I don't have "convert" anywhere but here's Tova kind of converting from a corpse to a living person. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

From Losing You Backward: Joric takes Fion to the beach. Spoiler: Joric doesn't like the beach. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Here's one from Light Wielding & Other Mortal Magics (formerly The Moth King) #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

If you haven't already ... please check out the first five chapters of Light Wielding & Other Mortal Magics (formerly The Moth King) for free on Readerful! #WIP #AmWriting #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

I have so many "steps" I could have spent all morning doing this ... Here's Tova being exceptionally creepy #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

If you've enjoyed my Moth King #WIPSnips, I'd be grateful if you'd check out the first five chapters on Readerful! Also, it has a new title! AND if you tried to view the link the first time I posted it and were told you have to pay, I'm so embarrassed and that should be fixed now 😳

Sunday finds out where the forest hag lives #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Soryl has Macsen's little jar of death magic in her pocket and it's acting kinda creepy #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Joric is about to find out about time paradoxes #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Sunday has all the best uses of the word "royal." #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Sunday considers her options in her usual way #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

This one is longer than usual so as to better showcase Macsen's assholery. He's just opened up a doorway to a Very Bad Place and is threatening to throw Win into it #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Soryl vs. the berserker #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

I did not think I had this word anywhere, but here it is! From Losing You Backward. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

I'm late to this! The weekend got away from me. I woudn't say this is my most-proud snip but it's very representative of the story's themes #RevPitWaiting

Here's one that also has "wake" #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy
