TW for a mention of dismemberment and organs being ripped out. #WIPSnips

Here's my Instagram! www.instagram.com/virgilthetin... And here's my TikTok! www.tiktok.com/@virgiltheti... Glad I participated this week :) #QueerWritersChat

Oh, they're absolutely horrible at that for the most part. My WIP right now hinges on the fact that the protagonist tried to let herself heal many times, but ultimately failed... spectacularly. #QueerWritersChat

No, actually, but there is a character I like in a show I watch who has super-speed, and because of it, he also has super fast healing. I thought that was interesting because I've never seen that done simultaneously before. #QueerWritersChat

Yes, very much so. A lot of my stories have to deal with issues I care about and personal trauma of mine... and writing it all out on a page and projecting onto my protagonist's helps a LOT. #QueerWritersChat

Hi, I'm Virgil James and I'm currently working on a horror/romance Alice in Wonderland retelling called "The Descent of Alice Liddell: Her Fall Neverending"! #QueerWritersChat

Trigger warning for a mention of rape and kidnapping. And implied slavery ofc. #WIPSnips

#WIPSnips Think I've shared part of this snippet before, but I'll share it again lol

Here is my Instagram! www.instagram.com/virgilthetin... And here is my TikTok! www.tiktok.com/@virgiltheti... #QueerWritersChat

When the story is finished but not QUITE finished. Like there isn't enough left to add another full length chapter, but there is a loose end or two that needs tying up and an epilogue that's about 1,000 words or less serves that purpose. #QueerWritersChat

That... also depends on the story lmao To me, it really depends on why you feel the need to add one. For example, my book's epilogue is to show what happens to the narrator, since they are also a character just as important as the protagonist, and thus was the end of their story. #QueerWritersChat

Late as hell, got distracted lol Yes! It really depends on what story needs one and what doesn't. I like epilogues (and prologues) but they're not always necessary. Most of the time my stories with prologues won't have epilogues or vice versa. #QueerWritersChat

Haven't done this in a while, but I have time and energy today! My name is Virgil James, and I've been working on an horror/romance Alice in Wonderland retelling called "The Descent of Alice Liddell: Her Fall Neverending" since October of 2024! #QueerWritersChat

Haven't posted here in a while, but I figured I'd come back with a tender snippet for my birthday :) #WIPSnips

There was more to this snippet, but it was too long and potentially triggering anyway so probably better to not have to use a TW for today. There is a little bit a murder and religious trauma talk though #WIPSnips

Didn't have "gold", so I used "silver". #WIPSnips

TW for implied rape. I had other instances of "brain", but only a few I already had edited in the digital copy. #WIPSnips

Hey, #WIPSnips, mark your calendar! #WSPit returns February 25th, 2026 This is an Author Hype Event WIPSnips is already great with hype, but this gives you a chance to pitch your work as a whole, published work included. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I really don't have "fifth" anywhere in my book, so I used "five." And this is a snippet I recently edited which means this is technically part of the second draft :D #WIPSnips

I definitely improved this conversation a little in the physical copy, but I'm not there in the digital copy yet lol so here it is for now. #WIPSnips

Woo-hoo, sadness! (Insert Hollywood sound effect of children yelling "yay") #WIPSnips

This is probably my shortest one lmao #WIPSnips

I think I've probably shared this conversation or parts of it many times, but I still like it. I think this is one of the few things I barely touched when I was marking up the physical copy. #WIPSnips

I actually just finished marking up the physical copy of The Descent of Alice Liddell! And I scratched out everything after "it's human nature", not because it wasn't good, but because the narrator was already yapping and repeating herself A LOT and it ended up being unnecessary to keep. #WIPSnips

I have a lot of "control", unfortunately... #WIPSnips

Mundane, but it works lol. #WIPSnips

Might have already shared this snippet or part of it, but I like it anyway :) #WIPSnips

I almost forgot to post this lmao, this video went up on TikTok over 12 hours ago 😭 Anyway I got TikTok back! So if you're on there as well, please consider giving me a follow :) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #writing

Glitch! In Reality. A sci-fi horror novel about traumatized queers killing supernatural entities for money🙂‍↕️ #CastPit #W #YA #H #SF #LGBT #Blackwriters I love animation so, my series will definitely be animated in the same style as the Miles Morales Spiderman movies, it’ll be gorey n emotional.

I think this is obvious and you might already know this if you've seen me post, but I haven't been posting as consistently so Alice is a rape victim for context. (Also I can't wait to edit this part in my physical copy because I would write this a bit differently now lmao) #WIPSnips

I hate that I have to sneak around my mother to be fucking trans. I was looking at those custom name bamboo earrings on Etsy, and in my cart now, I deadass have one with my actual name and another with my deadname to convincingly hide the former from her. Genuinely fml. #transgender #femtransman

Might have shared this snippet before, not sure. Anyway, this is the only snippet I could share with this word that won't give away my entire plot 💀 Ancestry is a HUGE theme in my book. #WIPSnips

I honestly don't really have one, as I write on circumstance, not routine unfortunately. However, I try to grab a drink or something. Sometimes I'll set a timer with a writing sprint bot on Discord to really get the juices flowing. #GhostPit #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

That's a good question. God she'd probably kick it idk she sucks 😭 HOWEVER, given her background, she probably wouldn't know what it is and would try to figure it out. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

First one from The Vigilante Wheel in a while. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Think I've shared part of this snippet before, but it has changed a bit since and I do like it anyway. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

This one is quite foreboding (Alice's eyes ofc are blue for context. It's deeper than that but that's all I will say). #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
