I have surprisingly few instances of pursue in anything I'm writing given that my characters are all pursuing something. Here's one from Death & the Dreamer #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Seems like a good day for a zombie bear snip #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

In the sci-fi novel I wrote in 2024 I had this character Juliet whose mom named her for the Romeo and Juliet Juliet and she was a donkey expert. Sadly, I had to cut all my donkey scenes and therefore, Juliet was let go as redundant. It was rather a tragedy for her (see what I did there).

I had to dig to find this word ... this ships is from "Little Pieces of God," an unfinished novel about a girl whose brother is convicted of a terrible crime. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

He dresses in the bodies of murdered people 😆. He only shows his true face twice and when he does he puts on black robes, heavy black rings, and blood red trousers, mostly just to look cool

I haven't done one from Opus in a while ... here's Tess discovering that Lorcan isn't the only strange thing in the pub #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

The opening two paragraphs of Death & the Dreamer ☠️💤 #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

I never thought this would be so relevant 😡

Hmm 🤔 #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

If Tova followed TikTok trends #UnhingedPit #A #F #H #W

If Uldir was a computer programmer. #unhingedpit #A #F #R #W function Curse { let ending; if (FionBreaksCurse) { ending = "Happy"; return ending; } else { LoopEndlessly; } }

If the Dawn Lord had social media #UnhingedPit #A #F #R #Q

Fion is about to find out one of Joric's secrets #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

This thing just came out of Tova's mouth, so now Soryl is starting to wonder this whole venture might have been a mistake. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Sunday vs. Deer Man #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Cursed to move backward through time, Joric has fewer memories of Fion each time they meet. If she can’t find a way to change his past before their final encounter, she’ll become a stranger to a man driven only by his memories of the terrible act that cursed him. #WSPit #W #A #F #R

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. #WSPit #W #A #F #H NOSFERATU x ONE DARK WINDOW

A genetically engineered queen who incited a rebellion and spurned the king for his cousin must escape a ruthless mercenary who has her dead lover’s face and memories. A sci-fi reimagining of Helen and the Trojan War. #WSPit #W #A #SF

In a dark kingdom where light is toxic and steel is untouchable, a mortal woman with a flashlight and a cosplay sword becomes a monster king’s obsession and the realm’s best weapon against a vengeful demigod. ཐིཋྀ THE MOTH KING (109K) ཐིཋྀ #WSPit #W #A #F #R #ND

Okay, this is not the best snip, but damn it if it doesn't have "neither" *and* "science" *and* "thing" *and* "face" 😂 #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

As a science writer, I find it kind of wonderfully ironic that my characters are discussing the "science" of magic. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Tova has some pretty weird magic #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Apparently I used "billow" ten times in the Moth King but never before and never since. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Today I learned that I must find a new way to say someone is smiling 🙄. Here's a snip that's opposite to the way I apparently always use "corner." #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

This is the view outside my house right now. This is the first #snow we've had like this in probably a decade. Northern #California, about 90 minutes north of Sacramento. #Winter

Here's Macsen about to talk out of Tova's mouth #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

5 things I like and I'm not oomfing because literally everyone I was going to add has apparently already done this 😂 Books 📚 Piano 🎹 Cats 🐈 Antique typewriters [:::] Cheese 🧀

Sunday is the only one of my characters who ever uses the word "laser" #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Soryl crashed a banquet and is listening in on a conversation between Ocer and Sophia #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Here's Sunday making yet another observation the Moth King can't relate to #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Obviously, these two are going to end up together #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Cursed to move backward through time, Joric has fewer memories of Fion each time they meet. If she can’t find a way to change his past before their final encounter, she’ll become a stranger to a man driven only by his memories of the terrible act that cursed him. #Cupit #RoFa #TTR

Happy #Caturday here’s Mimi enjoying a sunbeam. On the dining room table. 🙄 #Gato #CatsLife #CatsofBlueSky

The brigands are about to find out how tough Tova actually is #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy (I've used this snip before but it's literally the only time I've ever used the word "sweetheart.")

Fion wants to break Joric's curse but he's already decided it isn't possible. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Tova and Soryl are discussing the job and Win can't keep his mouth shut. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Everyone pays a price for magic. Dreamer magic robs you of REM sleep and is physically exhausting. Venemuling requires drug use, which is hard on your body long-term. And you have to be dead to be a necromancer, so that's also a little rough 😂 #Febchantment #FantasySky #WritingCommunity #writesky

Most of my recent stuff is too medieval or Victorian for the word "vibe," but fortunately, Sunday uses that word a lot in the Moth King. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

Here's a gross one from Death & the Dreamer #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

I was really surprised by how hard it was to find this word. Here's "selection" from the Moth King: Sunday discovers that the child-stealing forest hag is actually kind of a good mom. #WIPSnips #WIP #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale

No airports in my recent novels but here's an old snip from Little Pieces of God where Maddie has just been turned down for a job cleaning kennels at a vet clinic because of her brother's reputation. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
