Who's with me in the "I used 'already' SO MUCH and now I feel bad" club? (Emma's POV. I use hers more on snips b/c her POV isn't inherently a spoiler.) I was ready to crawl under the bed and die, but with my broken leg, it would have hurt terribly. --Immigrants' Journey #WIPSnips #HistorytownAZ

Here’s some more ideas I found on Facebook. They are rather fun but several could be distracting 😂 #writesky #writingcommunity

Titanic Voyage will break your heart, then mend it. When Liam first meets Clara, he thinks she's a rulebreaking tourist who snuck onto the set of the Titanic ride. Once he discovers she's an heroic passenger, he wants to save her, whatever the cost. #TimeTravelAuthors (Links in comments!)

May 31 - another month of #timetravel shenanigans concludes, but no worries, kids, there's more timey-wimey #writingprompts to come next month, courtesy of our fearless leader @juliebihn.bsky.social and the intrepid #TimeTravelAuthors. Join the fun!

SPOILERS! I was glad there was a treatment, although advertisements for medicine always conclude by listing worrying "side effects" like nausea, digestive problems, and weight loss. --Immigrants' Journey #HistorytownAZ #WIPSnips

His living room and kitchen are a single space the size of our whole apartment. He inherited the house from his parents, and he says his sister owns half, but it's still incredible. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Can you believe Liam used to live in alone? #HistorytownAZ #WIPSnips

I'd love if you'd read Titanic Voyage! It's free on Hoopla/KoboPlus or $3.99 to keep the eBook! books2read.com/TV If you liked Titanic Voyage, then the sequel, Immigrants' Journey, is up for preorder on several platforms, and I'd love if you gave it a look! See you next month, #TimeTravelAuthors!

Thanks so much for hosting! Immigrants' Journey is available for preorder! (Kobo soon!) bsky.app/profile/juli... Titanic Voyage, book 1 in the series, is available now! Books2read.com/TV or juliebihn.itch.io/tv or www.hoopladigital.com/ebook/titani... PLEASE READ AND/OR BUY MY BOOKS #MemeMay

So if you put a preorder up on Kobo, it only previews the first 5% by default, right? I got it into my head that it was 10% but if it ends there, the pitchfork crew will be coming for me so 🫣 #HistorytownAZ

“But—but—but you’re Jupiteran!” Nlubglub sputtered. “He’s Plutonian! Our planets have been at war 76 times just in my lifetime. You two together, that’s—that’s—I don’t even have a word for what that is, and I speak 31 languages. It just doesn’t happen.” -The Cosmic Turkey #WIPSnips

This stumped me until I read @zprospero.bsky.social’s answer. I’d be just some random middle-aged woman to my characters. But actually, Emo Rocky. It’s an alt universe, but he needs to be told it’s not his fault and it’ll be OK. He’s desperate enough, he might even listen to me. #AwesomeCharacters

Ahahaha yes. Most glaring was Clara’s sister Emma in Immigrants’ Journey going, “Okay, but I get 1/4 to 1/3 of the word count.” And she is an absolute delight who I never have trouble writing; she pretty much dragged the book along until I grasped Clara well enough. I owe you, Emma! 💖 #HistorytownAZ

It’s been a very weird month; not sure how to even answer. But, with any luck, this will be the first month I’ve managed to average an hour a day on writing? Mostly editing/formatting but still. Stretch goal is to finish a short story 🍕 but history says that’s not real likely. #MemeMay

Spoilers? But hey look it's Sahar's husband! "I always preferred improv. And this will be the role of a #lifetime. Two lifetimes. Yours and Sahar's." #HistorytownAZ #WIPSnips

I expected him to drive me home, but instead we sat, him #silent and me sniffling. When my tears dried, I said, “I’m sorry for crying.” … —Immigrants’ Journey #HistorytownAZ #WIPSnips

Is the movie Mannequin a weird enough comp? The hero falls in love with a woman from another time that only he can interact with. There's a "Claire" and an "Ema/Emmy." It was filmed in the Wanamaker store (Philly), and Clara/Emma worked at the Wanamaker store in NYC. 1/2 #TimeTravelAuthors

An unusual request in the name of archaeological science: Would anyone happen to have a Shetland or Exmoor pony that wouldn’t mind sending some fur samples to me? We’re trying to compare a potentially preserved fur specimen but there’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) few sources on fur fibre diameters!

This is such a great plausible description of how healing magic might feel to the one being healed.

I won't repeat the word I say, but you gasp, flushing. "Mr. Peterson!" "Sorry. But there has to be a way to get you out—" The truth crashes over me like a wave. Anyone more clever than I am would have figured it out long before now. books2read.com/TV #TimeTravelAuthors

I'll use this because I'd say I actually have no villains soooooo (I know, I drew an antagonist (more like tried to) but they're a perceived villain for like half a chapter.) #MemeMay #HistorytownAZ

Ironically (given that the mangaka had a reverse redemption arc 😡), I loved Rurouni Kenshin back in the day for the redemption of a wartime killer who vowed not to kill again. Many years later, a kid with a rough life was telling me how good it was and I was like 🥹 #WriteStuff

Assuming it’s not the theological sense, I guess to me, a character needs to regret their actions and desire/try to change to be redeemed. (But I guess “deathbed” redemptions are not uncommon in fiction, where a bad guy does something self-sacrificing at the last second?) #WriteStuff

#MemeMay The Good Thyme Inn uses the anti-trope of "too many beds" Shallot runs a higher class establishment and every room has at least two beds

#mememay I avoid every physical ablist trope that ever annoyed me! 😅 - there's magic/tech that means while they appear disabled they don't have to deal with any actual limitations - cure or a noble death - able-bodied saviours (these people drive me nuts irl too) who defend/help us to show off

Younger me might have punched today me in the kidneys for Titanic Voyage's "save the girl" trope. But it hits differently when "the girl" needs saved because she dies trying to save others. Immigrants' Journey subverts the "woman goes to past and finds a great guy" trope. #MemeMay #HistorytownAZ

"And when I traveled to 1912 and saw you, you were the most amazing woman. The way you encourage everyone you #meet, and how you always think of others before yourself. You make friends everywhere you go." --Immigrants' Journey #WIPSnips #HistorytownAZ

“Woof” by my niece

Visited the traveling Vietnam Wall memorial in Surprise a while back. Wayne Brantner was very good to my dad. The visit was a moving experience overall. If you wanna cry a little, watch this video from a bereaved mother of another soldier on the wall. No more wars. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9dT-...

As someone who only played with Gen 1 and a bit of Gen 2, seeing SO MANY later Pokemon in the answers is somehow both making me feel old and giving me "the kids are all right" energy, because man they're showing off a lot of solid picks with Pokemon I've never heard of.

Immigrants' Journey currently describes all of the following as "beautiful": *The gown Liam made Clara in Titanic Voyage *The fact that Liam cares deeply *Heaven *Old churches and a replica of same *A building-block castle *Homes *An omelette #TimeTravelAuthors #HistorytownAZ

Relief flooded me like the sight of the sun after a week of #rain. I got up, grinning. “Hug me and the deal’s off,” Rocky grumbled. I sat back down. —Immigrants’ Journey #WIPsnips #HistorytownAZ

#Mememay >.>'' I was so excited about this one that I went above and beyond making Pokemon teams for everyone. Even some enemies and side characters that had drawings. SO, without further ado, here we go with the Silent Suspension Pokemon AU~ First up, Emily, Koujaku, Ritos, and Seth~ 🧵

I only know Gen 1 and kind of 2. But looking at a Pokedex, Xatu was the first one that stuck out to one Clara was drawn to. And "They say that it stays still and quiet because it is seeing both the past and future at the same time."? Yeah, it might be a match. (Bonus info in comments!) #MemeMay

I really enjoyed this series!

Liam's 23. I knew he was an adult and wanted him to have a bit of experience. (And coincidentally, this song hit hard!) Clara's 19; she had to be an adult and young. (On the whole, I think "employee from 1912 NYC" 19 is probably more mature than a "today" 23.) #AwesomeCharacters #HistorytownAZ

Surviving Phase One of the apocalypse was bad enough. Surviving Phase Two will take everything she has. #NA #SF #DS #T series with autistic rep, man-made horrors & ace romance. Book 1 available now, Book 2 arriving when I get my act together and finish editing it! #WIPPit
