The #WIPSnips word for November 7th is "movement" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

My parents used to force me to read aloud when I was a portion of a person. But I moved up the reading bands quite quickly and they didn't have time for 300 page books so I was allowed to get on solo. That freedom to choose was great for me, allowed me to explore more outside of the kids section.

Most of the coffee is black. Whether they can't afford milk or just all prefer it that way because they are hardened spacers with burned out taste buds, who knows? (I also have my coffee black) It is used to show a character difference: Only one has Tea instead. Refreshing Mint tea.

"Elara, Time to get up. The story has to begin." Elara:

Probably that people are messy. Nothing is clean, especially feelings and reactions. That nobody exists who has no flaws and that sometimes extreme situations don't create heroes or monsters, they just create desperation. But that there is often a way through it, not unbowed or whole, but through.

Well the answer is a lot of songs for a lot of different bits, but the one that sticks out for the whole thing is 'The Hand that Feeds' by Nine Inch Nails. Because they do bite it and it doesn't taste very nice 😀

I missed my chance to put this word on Saturday I suppose.... The #WIPSnips word for November 6th is "penultimate" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The #WIPSnips word for November 5th is "trail" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

(POV mains) Elara, Toren, Kaili, Ben, Capt Mclellan,(Non POV secondary) The Rec, Caul, Alex, Dr. Golgi. (Tertiary) Various. 7 central. Alex and Doc are not central but essential with tertiaries making up numbers. Mostly set on one ship, so usually together in some combo. But not always.

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips The word for November 3rd is "nice" Regular reminder to put Alt Text on your graphics! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

My cats are a delight in every way bar one: when you just got out of the bath, all clean and relaxed and one runs in because they just did a gnarly poop in the litter tray. Suddenly they are full Brando, wide eyed "The horror, the horror" before they disappear again at light speed. Apocalypse meow.

I sometimes feel like they sneak up on me at the worst moments. Like in the middle of a work meeting, I'll suddenly start furiously typing - "Yeah that's a very interesting work thing, do tell me more. I'm just answering someone on Teams. No keep talking it's fine, I can listen 'and then the Rec..'"

Sadly, spooky week has come to an end, and we are somehow squarely in November now. The #WIPSnips words for November 3rd through November 9th are here! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

To round out spooky week on #WIPSnips the word for November 2nd is "cobweb" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Elara and Caul are the two women on a ship full of men in an industry that is male heavy. Caul has a manipulative side, can be quite vicious when she wants to be too. Elara is not those things, doesn't really understand it either. Their 'rivalry' has undercurrents because of course it does.

I'm Jim, more or less. I'm writing a SciFi WIP that I pretentiously named 'Statues Erode' set aboard the spaceship I pretentiously named Tartarus. It's supposedly a thoughtful exploration of evolving consciousness in the face of unexpected circumstances. Nov Writing goal is a ludicrous 30k words! 😮

I'm Jim and I write to NTFS for a few days and then you should have a nice snoozle. That is a worrying mixture of work and...other things. I actually write (debatable) concept Sci-Fi with a lean towards relationships over the technical. People drama, sci-fi wallpaper.

My name is Jim (this may be a lie.) First book I remember reading and really getting into was something called Swallows and Amazons. I was young. First thing I ever wrote - a Star Trek fan fic when I was maybe 12. Just a fountain pen and some paper my mum tore out of her notebook for me.

On the Tartarus (space ship) the only red things are warning lights or emergency lighting for if something bad happens. Standard fare, but helpful to know things aren't going well ha.

I've absolutely loved adding this to my list of things to look at per day, though I only found it late this month. The questions have broadened my insight into the characters Ive written a lot. Giving me a different angle to view them from. It has been great to work through for me. Huge help. 🔥

Elara - harmless. Maybe salt your coffee...but not too much salt. Toren - when a clean Elara aligns with a filthy object, Toren ensures collision. Kaili - too nice for tricks. Ben - nah, too helpful. Alex - definitely. Remorselessly. Caul - wildcard. More likely to head scramble than trick.

I'm having a hard time thinking of one for the whole journey, but maybe 'Estranged' by Guns n Roses a little bit. Sort melancholy with a mix of hopefulness. The line "with all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time" hits for MC. I knew the storm was getting closer...

#ghostpit A supply run turns deadly when the starship Tartarus is diverted to rescue survivors of a viral outbreak in deep space. With a secret order empowering the ship's AI to take charge, Elara and her crew must solve the mystery behind the virus and whatever their AI is becoming. #A #W #SF

🎶 I put a spell on yooouuuu... 🎶 The #WIPSnips word for October 30th is "spell" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

For my "end credits" I imagine 'Dead Memories' by Slipknot. At the midpoint turn in the story 'We're in this together' by Nine Inch Nails. Kinda for the beginning I sort of see an ironic '9 to 5' by Dolly Parton. I'm sure I have thought of more, but those three stand out in my memory

The #WIPSnips word for October 29th is "broomstick" #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

This is a curious question. I don't think anyone fears my MC. Some fear for her, but she isn't really fearsome or fearless. She is fear-neutral ha. You could argue that the antagonist will briefly fear her.

For me it was part of the opening. There was a moment where I had the MC literally stuck in a doorway. Like everytime I tried to get her to leave the room, I choked out. It was about the transition I overworte it, underworte it. It absolutely broke me rewriting it over and over.

Impatiently. She would start calm but quickly degenerate as traffic piles up Elara:

Everything of consequence happens aboard the Tartarus (space ship) But we do visit two other locations, colonies one at the start one at the beginning of act 2. I had sort of intended to do more, but I ran out of room for it in the story without repeating beats.

It's the first day of 👻spooky🎃 week on #WIPSnips! The word for October 27th is "blood-curdling" As always, synonyms, variations and ✨vibes✨ are fine. Given that it's spooky week, don't forget an trigger/content warnings if your post needs them. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

📚 #WritingLifeMonthly October Day 25📚 The first story I ever wrote, and still remember, I was about 12 or 13. It was a novel about a kid who was pulled into the screen of her computer game. I spent every lunch time for a year writing it. Yours? #writingcommunity #BookSky #BookSky💙📚 #authorchat

One thing that became apparent is that my story lacks background characters doing background things. It feels like the crew are there to save themselves, when the original concept was saving a bunch of people. Fleshing our some of the scenery people will help for act 3 stakes for sure.
