#amwriting #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky Same chapter and location as yesterday's Snippet with my characters finding shelter in an abandoned train station....

Another one from the first draft that has survived my many rewrites.

Another one of my favorite interactions, thankfully free of spoilers. From Royal Magpie's Oath #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingprompts #queerwriters

Al learns more about one of his friends in this snippet from “Isekai Limbo”, on the verge of popping out of WiP status. ☺️ #WiPSnips

Last one of the year! Happy new year to everyone while I'm at it. #WIPSnips #WIP #Fantasy #AmWriting

The last snippet from “Revels End” because … ~drum roll~ ir’s no longer a WiP! I shall miss writing it. 😢 #WiPSnips

We have to do ✨vibes✨ again. The outcome of defying the emperor's will, discussed. From Royal Magpie's Oath. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingprompts #queerwriters

Bit of a PTSD mention, heads up. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingprompts #queerwriters

Ensiferum was one of my formative bands 20 years ago. Not my first metal band but the first folk metal one, and it just is a genre that combines most things I love. If this ends up in the metal side of bluesky, hook me up with some of your local folk metal #Ensiferum #folkmetal #finnishmetal

“We are being followed. No. I misspeak. We are being hunted."

#WIPSnips She caressed him with one last touch of her heart. *He could never have been made– he was too perfect to by made.* The affection in the thought spoken into his own heart could almost have broken him. Smiling, and aching with happiness so much it hurt, Lawcket went into the house . . .

They really ought to be nicer to themselves. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingprompts

Tali/Astrogali is a game played with knucklebones or 4-sided die, popular in antiquity. The real game omitted the 5 and the 2. These two characters are playing the modified, fantasy version. www.getty.edu/education/co... #WIPSnips #writingprompts #amwriting #writingcommunity

Forcefully willing my blorbos into existence by drawing them, attempt number one 💀 I think I’ll have time to take a crack at someone else’s character this weekend and I could use the practice. HMU if you want! #WIP #writing #WIPart #broidk

In a sentient inn, a witch and her guests bake shortbread. Faces warmed by firelight, windows framing snowy hills. Flour paw prints on floorboards. Laughter and cloves in the air. The witch hums 'winter wonderland'. She's in love but she doesn't know it yet. #CheerPit #A #F #Q

For a story with a competition, I, surprisingly, had to ‘vibe’ this one. It sorta, kinda, maybe works. 🤔 From “Revels End”. #WiPSnips

CW: descriptions of war/violence, PTSD #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingprompts

Being brave and joining bluesky because I heard the writer community is amazing here! 🥰 I’m working on a fantasy romance influenced by Pacific Islander mythology #amwriting What are y’all working on?

Sifrida wouldn't want to be the hayseed queen of nowhere, but when you have a half-starved kingdom, manure matters more than silk and silver. #CheerPit #W #F #R #A Sifrida's favorite holiday song: Winter Wonderland (but only because the sleigh bells as presumably there are horses nearby)

We’re now on BlueSky! Guidelines for the inaugural #CheerPit 2024 event on December 9th! 🎁 We’ve updated our guidelines to include WIPs and agented authors too! We want to show as many people the writerly love as we can 📝 Please reach out if you have any questions ❤️

I had to dig for this one. My poor shapeshifter is a talented healer, but their imposter syndrome is so bad that they don't think they qualify. ✨Vibes✨ #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingprompts #writesky

#amwriting #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky Don't have the actual word, but qualifications, or lack thereof, are discussed here...

A tiny spoiler but also very queer. “I can feel your emotions. Maybe I could express them for you if you want me to.” “Will that work?” “It could,” Davros says. “Even if you can't do words, maybe someone else feeling them will help.” Lucius is silent for a long moment. “Please.” #queerwriters

Never argue in sauna. #WIPSnips #neverargueinsauna #amwriting #fantasy #writingprompts

All of the other lover bits are spoilers so here you go :) #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingprompts #writesky

'argue' from my sapphic romantasy, The Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓ #WIPSnips

Temperatures are still above 10°C in the S and SW marine regions, meaning that the thermal summer continues along the coast. Pargas (Parainen) Utö has just passed 160 days (a new record), and next we monitor if the national record of 168 days (Turku Artukainen, 2006) will be broken.

Surprisingly few "lovers" so far in my romance, but I've only edited a third of the way through! Here, Jenna reflects a little self-consciously over her affinity toward her alien friend after being prematurely accused of having a crush. #WIPSnips

Going to start doing these #WIPSnips when I can to see if it motivates me to finish this novella that has been almost finished for the longest time. Today’s word is ‘lover’.

Today is Finnish independence day. I have spent the day in very traditional way: Watching approximately 1700 people shake hands with our president. As odd as it sounds, I enjoy it. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää muille suomalaisille. #FinnishIndependenceDay #Linnanjuhlat

OTD in 1917, the Finnish parliament voted on Finland's declaration of independence. The vote results were 100 yes votes – 88 no votes. Who voted against independence? Spoiler: no one. The parliament was in agreement about declaring Finland independent. So, what happened? 1/

So many options so many options. CW: mentions of serious injuries #WIPSnips #writing #fantasy #romanticfantasy #writingprompts #writesky

Any one else being compulsive placeholderer? :D Looked at the search results and first thought was "damn, now I have to come up with a name before I can post this." But why do something today when you can leave it for tomorrow. Enjoy the placeholder snip.

“LaDarrion, how can we celebrate you on your birthday?” Buy my books. Seriously, show publishers that y’all want Black fantasies that are based in the south, with Black leads, and run those numbers up so we can get this TV show off the ground. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/G3W/b...

Hint: she isn't.

Soo... Writing. What a fun hobby. Yesterday, I thought I had 125k wip with ~10k of known "to-be-deleted" stuff like notes or duplicate scenes. I was happy with it. Today I noticed that I had added some of the folders in scrivener outside the actual manuscript. Turns out, I have ~165k WIP. Shit. 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

My work situation improved a while ago, and I kinda went full magpie to congratulate myself. Part of it included a Kalevala Koru recreation of this necklace. An iron age find from Janakkala. This was a stash rather than burial find. Pic of the recreation in the comments. finna.fi/Record/museo...

Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years…

Yet another #wipsnips from my 🌈 nautical fantasy, ever-so-slowly posting to Patreon. #amwriting #queerwriters #writesky

… “If they catch you, you will *wish* they’d end it quickly.” A lull, a sigh. “74’s really fucked, isn’t it?” … (Eight sometimes uses ‘we’ for plot-related reasons!! And it ain’t DID, I promise. There are enough poor portrayals of those experiences.) #WritingCommunity #WIPsnips #amwriting

#SaturDark From Winds of Desolation. Storm is... confused.

Rune focusing on food? I'm sure that has never happened... #WIPSnips #fantasy #writing #amwriting #writingprompts #romanticfantasy

Not spite, but something similar. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writesky

Okay peeps, bear with me, today we hunt bears. (Sorry not sorry.) Bear hunting, starting from the felling the bear, keeping its funerals and returning it back to forest had a lot of rules and formalities to observe. It should be noted, that Finland was sparsely populated, so practices differed 1/x
