Ryo was born in the human world, but has spent much of his life in the spirit world. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Rin’s new friends cause a stir. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Tattoos are generally frowned upon in Japan. If Yoshimaru showed up in the Ningenkai with FACE tattoos well 😂 #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

This character hasn’t accepted yet that yokai even exist. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

I feel like I am shaving act 3 to the bone and will still come in above word count goals. 🫠 Get ready, acts 1 and 2, the scalpel is coming for you. ⚔️ #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy #WIP

Despite a plethora of monsters, we have no trolls, so here’s a demon instead. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy #theyhaveacavetroll

Usually blood and adrenaline are draining, but here’s secret option C, tea. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Ryo the rule follower in trooooooouble. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

I’ve been #drafting for a little over a year (because this draft is way too long), and I use a daily word quota to keep me on task. But I’m very ready to be out from under it—not because I’m sick of writing, but because I’d like to read too. 92% complete. 😭 #amwriting #writesky #W #NA #YA #fantasy

Oops! #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

If all this is real, Rin feels like her isolation might be coming to an end. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Rin’s boss only appears in a few scenes, but his trademark is that he’s always angry and inventing a new shade of red every time he shows up lol. Nothing to do with why Jiro is angry though. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Ryo is getting desperate for haste. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky #WIPSnips #YA #NA #fantasy

No idea how I’m going to finish this promo art for #BluePit tomorrow because my child is in a four month sleep regression and will not stop screaming long enough for me to color. 🫠😩 #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #NA #YA #fantasy

Tendril for tentacle here. Ryo returns to the Reikai after meeting Rin, unsure how he and Taro will explain what happened. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Another scene I’ll probably condense in revision. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Rin loves her brother and her friends. Ryo loves his brothers-in-arms, and in a more complex way his siblings. This is a restrained slow-burn, so they are much more oblivious about realizing their feelings for each other. #BluePit #BluePitHype #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasy #YA #NA

Rin fears she will hurt others if she can’t control her abilities, while Ryo has a deep fear of failing to protect others. Each believes their personal failings have been detrimental to people they care about. #BluePit #BluePitHype #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasy #YA #NA

This is a hard question because I don’t know that either Rin or Ryo really thinks this way about themselves (they have guilt complexes). They are both probably most proud of other people in their lives. #BluePit #BluePitHype #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #NA #YA #fantasy

I didn’t think I’d have this one, but there was a random use! #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Here's some OLD artwork of Rin and Ryo. I'm working on some updated art for #BluePit, but that's for later. From my almost-finished novel WIP featuring dual POV, liminal worlds, yokai, and a slow-burn built on mutual trust. #BluePitHype #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasy #NA #YA

Rin flounders in the wake of her brother’s death, not just from grief, but because of the impossible things she saw. She spends a lot of time in a haze wondering if she’s crazy. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Hello, #writesky friends! I’m a writing teacher, wife, and mother carving out writing time at the expense of sleep. Currently working on an NA fantasy based in Japan. If I’m not writing or child wrangling, I might be reading, gaming, or watching The X-Files. #writingcommunity #BluePitHype #BluePit

I really need to make some new artwork for some upcoming pitch events, but man the time 😩 #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #YA #NA #fantasy

I had a few possible alternatives to “canvas,” but ended up going with “picture.” I like if I can replace my word with the suggested word and it still makes sense lol (though this is a photo). #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommumity #YA #NA #fantasy

A traumatizing moment for Ryo. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

The raiju is coming 👀 #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky #amwritinguü

The space here is quite hostile, partially because of a high concentration of tsuchigumo yokai in the area. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

They both have a stubborn streak. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Rin’s first impression of Ryo. “Incredibly focused and a little annoyed” is a decent description of him most of the time lol #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasy #YA #NA

Ryo has all the resolve, all the time. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #NA #YA #fantasy

Happy New Year! New Year’s is actually very important in my WIP. It’s the day the walls between the human world and spirit world are thinnest. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

I wanted to finish my draft this year, but new baby made that impossible. I’m on track to finish by March. I revise a lot as I go, but I’m hoping to make my big cuts in the spring and then be ready to query by the summer. #DecemberWorldbuilders #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasy #YA #NA

Ryo has a deep fear of his personal failures harming other people. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

This chapter lets Rin be truly on her own in some dangerous spots. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Rin’s elderly neighbor often comments about what her brother would have done in XYZ situation (here, he wouldn’t have allowed Rin to walk home by herself at night). But it’s too soon since his death, and it just makes her want to cry. #WIPSnips #writesky #amwriting #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

A late #WIPSnips post after the most harrowing night this child has given me since he was born 🫠 The most significant difference characters note between the human world and the spirit world is that everything in the Reikai is incredibly alive. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #fantasy #NA
