#SundaySnips - I went for 'shower' instead of rain since it doesn't rain much in this first book cos it's summertime from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

Wren gets into a fight with a stranger in Spencer's garden. #Wrencer #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

"Having a good chat with yourself?" "With ghosts," Ari muttered. Though, she'd hardly call it good. Garren, thankfully, did not suggest it might have been 1 in the same. He held up a steaming mug, instead. "Thought you could use some." He invited her back on the porch. -When Morning Comes #WIPSnips

#AprilAdventure The moment Rushak talks his way into the mission. #writingcommunity #writesky

#SundaySnips Here is Farley speaking with the rain, and his dutiful guardian looking out for him while he works. Hehe I am writing more and more romantic fluff moments between these two lately

I wrote a book. Somewhere out there is a version of you emotionally compromised over a fictional woman with too much trauma. You could be that version. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYHFXRWM #BookSky #IndieAuthor #QueerBooks #TransAuthor #FantasyBooks #ReadQueer

#AprilAdventure A murder, with Rushak the only witness. By this: A shadow among shadows, a shape that did not belong. It made a hissing, creaking noise as it moved into the light, a bestial form astride a black horse, drenched in a bloody sheen.

#AntagonistApril 4 This is not strictly accurate but for the sake of avoiding spoilers, let's just say it's Jasana 😅 Jasana is a teenage girl, about the same age as Mireia & Kena (13-18 throughout the trilogy). She was a Sea Mother candidate who got snubbed in favor of Mireia, but she believes🧵1/5

I love word play. Outside of humor with certain characters and dialogue, I'll often slip in some really groan-worthy puns. If nothing else, I amuse myself. A recent one in my WIP, Seven Years Love... #PretendPanel

April 4th – forum (venue) #AnthropomorphicNovel, today! We are nearing the climax and Ray is having a very rough day for reasons I cannot reveal. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesApril -4- Demon King Daughter A book 2 peek with Hasava and Kiseki being adorable. Appreciation for the blessings NOW in her life is a major theme for Kiseki, and part of her strength. She's seen what losing everything can be, and cherishes what she has. Buy: linktr.ee/pjc_cahill

Days 2-4 #AprilAdventure Fell behind, so a bit of catch up. Also, for kicks I'm not only going to do my Felcrown #DnD fantasy adventure serialized story, but also see how well these prompts help me with a #TTRPG adventure module I'm writing in the setting. 1/8

A beach is a much better place to be than trapped in a sewer full of rats. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Ever since I gave myself the allowance to actually write as much as I need for Farley and Caspen, the motivation has surged back. It was blocking me entirely to keep stressing over the 100k word limit.

Day 3 Meet Captain Millie Lapahie! Her & her Crew are always prepare with backpacks full of boxing gloves, climbing gear, balloons, paint, a welding mask & a good supply of apple juice. Cause you never know what you'll need for an adventure! #AprilAdventure #Writers #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

(1/2) #AwesomeCharacters Rowan and Kenzie both like animals. Kenzie's interiority in book 2 is in regards to the treatment of wildlife. Wesley is a good steward of the working animals in his life (like horses and crows) but he doesn't *love* them. >>>

#AwesomeCharacters This isn’t very difficult for Rush! His particular energy is one that attracts animals. He dislikes hunting and fails to do his share because they trust him too much, so he’s made himself one of the best archers in the Forest to ensure instant merciful kills when he can’t avoid >

#AwesomeCharacters Farley is great with small ones, but nervous around large ones. He's very afraid of horses. Animals are mostly all afraid of Caspen. Cait and Hartley both love dogs. Cait has always been angry that she never came across an abandoned fox kit or coyote pup to raise into her pet.

My autistic special interests include history from the invention of writing to sometime after WW2, & imaginary worlds. That's how I came to write an epic SciFi-Fantasy -with an autistic af main character 😉 Walking the Knife's Edge is $1.99 this month. 🌈📚🧠🪐 elisecarlson.com/sythe-series/

#WIPSnips 3. "Convert" Ashrah tells Sareena about Datusha... or at least about its power, not about its charming personality! #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #DatushaCotR #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

#AprilAdventure I’ll present only the two MCs and it’ll be more than I’ve ever said. My only character art is these picrews in which they’re trying to put their best foot forward. Rushak An almost-bard almost historian who presents as a non-hero MC. His soul is tortured by the constant awareness >

Happy World Autism Day, one day late! Here's a snippet from Soft Time, my story about an autistic boy in a time loop. #WIPSnips #WriteSky

#AprilAdventure Alrighty, so! First up: we've got the Fannaren Three: Mana Kiruna (24), Zola Aobara (26), and Fioné Voss (26) starting out their journey from yesterday's mentioned Yinzburgh to become what's known as Travelers in my world. The latter two want to gtfo and see shit! Kinda... 🧵1/5

#AprilAdventure 3 In #GodsOdAtalantis, we have 2 heroes: Mireia & Kena. Mireia is our main POV character, a girl who grew up in a small town who desperately wants to be remembered after she dies. She gets noticed by the village priestess as a possible candidate for the new reincarnation of the🧵1/6

#WIPSnips I think I'm using a different definition of "convert" than most - anyway did you know Strange Quarks (not what's happening here) that matter made of them might be so perfectly stable that it converts everything into Strange Matter?

#AprilAdventures Two cousins, Cait Beltane and Gene Hartley, made a pact as kids to get through a God college together. Any God, doesn't matter. Whatever seems easiest. Everyone knows that if you get that godmark, you're set for life. A golden ticket. It was Hartley's idea. He's the idea guy.

#AprilAdventures I'm grateful for this prompt game because what a great help to flesh out my brand new WIP idea. Perfectly timed! The adventure begins at a God college dedicated to Ciarna, where our protags are studying to earn their godmark and become Hands. Well, Cait is. Hartley just flunked out.

#AprilAdventure Hi! I'm Zee and I'm late! I write fantasy and romances stories, heavy on the magic and whimsy. My biggest adventure was going to Japan for a summer, where I learned I do not want to teach for a living. It was difficult and good for growth, like all important adventures are.

For the 1st time since she could remember, she could feel the start of a seam, mending the tears in her. She let Elsbie be her needle & thread. She let her take care of her. It meant everything to know that knowing the story did not change the way Elsbie looked at her. -When Morning Comes #WIPSnips

I snuck my book into a mostly SFF and Romance bundle. 😇 Make sure to check it out, it's all by autistic authors!! (it started yesterday, but I thought you wouldn't believe this incredible deal on April Fool's Day) itch.io/b/3598/autis... #BookSky #BookBundle #IndieAuthors #ActuallyAutistic 🌈📚

April 3rd – convert Av’ry tries to convince Fox to make some new friends among the dragon cultists. She isn’t convinced. #DawnsBlood #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

One of the greatest compliments I can get about any of my characters is "oh god I am so worried about them" ehehe then I've done my job well

#AwesomeCharacters Easy one, Farley is out foraging for spell components and/or breakfast, and Caspen is a helicopter afraid to let him go anywhere alone. It's fair, really, with all the mysterious haunting-like incidents popping up all over town lately.

Then something made him look up. He squinted at where she was, as though she were but a memory he couldn’t quite place. And those eight years of longing pulled her forward, like the rush of receding waves from the shoreline. Straight to the door. - When Morning Comes #WIPSnips

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writers #writesky When your story is set on Atlantis & your MC is (maybe) a sea goddess, this word comes up a lot 😂 In this case, one beach in particular... From #GodsOfAtalantis Book 1, now available for preorder! books2read.com/b/bP21wz

Happy #WIPSnips 2 - Beach! I couldn't let today go by without a snip from a Bludeye Beach book 😂 (RIP my search function...) I'm currently just starting draft 4 of Return to Bludeye Beach, with hopes to get it ready to publish in 2027 ❤️

“You can toss this over, too, when I'm done.” The girl shut her eyes tight. Esmé stepped between the captain & the stowaway. Cordelia’s finger froze before it could release the trigger, but she kept the gun in place. “Move, Dearest. You’re interfering with some pest control.” #WIPSnips

I couldn't decide on #WIPSnips, so it's a two-fer today. Kyle done messed up so Katie & gang are mad at him?! What is happening? Is this an April Fools joke?!! What could sexy Mr. Rogers have done that's so bad? 😮 *checks schedule* Optimistically, you can find out almost exactly a year from now. 😏

#WIPSnips 2. “Beach” Alas, I don’t have any snippet of Ashrah enjoying her precious beach yet, so here’s one I find interesting: Kai explaining how the White Lotus aligns with Buddhism’s first precept: no killing. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #BattlemageAskaly #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Scruffy encounters a security gargoyle mid-heist. Although this time it's not entirely his fault that his mind is empty. 🐺❔ From an action-comedy novel about the adventures of a girl, a small robot, and the heist crew they call family. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky 💙📖

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Subbed 'sandy' - Several plot points come together to set this exchange up, so I'll remain vague to avoid spoiling too much from book 2. Part of Kyoka's cover story is that she's just a witch with magic-inherited memories. Buy Options: linktr.ee/pjc_cahill
