When i see it i know my duty

It actually *really sucks* to be a psychic vampire in combat! #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

I write dialogue-heavy, spare prose. I've been accused of writing floating heads talking in empty rooms. Im working on that. And the relentless comma abuse. I appreciate lush, descriptive prose from others, i should do more Writing In The Style Of __ exercises. #SummerOfStories #writingcommunity

Thomas is of the philosophy that if two bullets dont kill it then maybe sixty bullets will. Penny is unimpressed. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Writing is a compulsion, it brings me joy and gives me an opportunity to play with the shape and texture of words. It lets me tell the stories that i want to read or experience. It's a hobby. An avocation. It's a solid quarter of my personality. #SummerofStories #Writingcommunity #writesky

Vampires are bitchy by nature and Serena is double bitchy for special Serena reasons (daddy likes sebastian better) #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Niamh & Kimmy show up with a truck, blanket, extra boxes and give tips about furniture care & restoration. Thomas happily lifts couches, but breaks at least one mirror and/or lock on your new door. Penny & Sebastian show up at the end and are judgemental about your style #AwesomeCharacters

I start books with a character who wants a thing: Niamh wants to find her child in the midst of an attack. Brunhilde wants to not be at a mass funeral. I *do* like in medias res, tho how i do it depends on genre/plot signalling. #SummerofStories #Writingcommunity

Hello! I am Clara, Im on hiatus from my book about big pharma vs dragons and curretly drafting Ploughshares, which asks the important question: "what if Legends and Lattes was more like Clarksons Farm?" #SummerofStories #Writingcommunity #LitRPG

Penny believes in advance planning for a lot of things, including getting [censored] #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

A nice room full of awful people #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Sometimes its hard to torture your characters and sometimes you gotta build a symptom suite for System Madness/Interface Decay Encephalopathy and thats also fun

No tournaments but John does get to fight a guy as part of a loan renegotiation ##WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

It takes cash to build and maintain civic systems, even when you're a bunch of wizards. So who the hell is funding the Entente? #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Living the primitive paleo lifestyle, by which I mean I reject the wheel. If I see so much as a rounded rock I start headbutting the wall until I hit asbestos.

Thought about posting another sexy snip by nope its security protocol sunday #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

It is 2/3rds done

Listen up all you pixilated freaks (laudatory) who live in my phone you want this book.

Its time to put on a pretty dress and do food preservation/baking while listening to grindy dubstep and/or anticapitalist body horror audiobooks.

He's going to try to kill you and you're not as ready to try and kill him back as you think you are, Penny #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

No foxes, just Ellis being foxy. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

No Pyramids, one cone. The Owens Brothers, everybody! #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Uncertainty gnaws.

Its a TYPE of finale certainly... #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Who are you going to betray to save your species, Niamh? Your best friend or your twin? #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Penny's having a rough day. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

DISCOVERED: IT IS MANTISES.

It has been nearly 20 years since i last wore a suit myself for some scenes i have no idea what Penny Merritt is wearing #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Camp punksylvania rocked

If you think of it as a room instead of a cell maybe you can forgive yourself for what you are about to do, Sebastian. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

My astute beta readers noted that because Niamh is Irish and Harker is from the PNW neither of them would use an umbrella in any case. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

You dont have to keep working for the evil company, Penny! You can just leave! #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

All vampires have theater kid energy. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Bananas. When i was a small child i bit into a banana and it went crunch and i looked down and there was a spider. Well. Part of a spider.

Dragons big. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Watching Scavengers Reign like "oh no its those jumpy little shits i hate them" and also "what in the fungal hell is going on"

Its a great day when i remember that this song exists youtu.be/ItCLXqaq_Rw?...

...why are all the porn bots on this site suddenly reskeeting one of the least sexy wipsnips ive posted i do not understand

oh my god, becky,

It was a lot easier to pretend to be Sherlock Holmes when everybody didn't wear the same three brands of work boots bought from the same four shops. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

Behold: a meet-cute. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Penny is a card carrying member of dragonfuckers anonymous #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

I just backed Devouring Fortune on @kickstarter.com AND SO CAN YOU THIS SHIT IS GONNA BE SO COOL www.kickstarter.com/projects/ole...

Not gonna tell you your job Thomas but hiring the spirit of rot and decay to protect your family seems like some bad synergy #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

Loading guns with the dragon of armaments for a nice and relaxing afternoon at the range where im sure nothing weird will happen. #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1

I FORGOT TO CLIP MY #WIPSNIPS IN ADVANCE AGAIN GODDAMMIT

Dragons have a weird relationship with death (and a full treaty but thats because they also have a weird relationship with legalese) #WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts #Machinations1
