Without a doubt it was the hotel scene in Wishing You Knew (WIP 2). It was an emotional rollercoaster. Julie reading the letters in WIP 1 was also pretty tough. #QueerPrompts #WritingPrompts #lesfic #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️

Jacqueline is probably an Albatross. Spends most of her life travelling, then forms a strong bond when a mate is found. Takes a lot of energy to take off, but flying is relatively easy. Shannon is whatever the bird equivalent of a limpet is... #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️

There are mothers in two of my WIP. In WIP2, it is 1 of 3 converging plot points, and the mom's plot point is the inciting incident. It is a painful and difficult plot point for Jacqueline filled with a lot of conflicting emotions. #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️

Should she mention her sister? If Ash was alive, Nadia might know. But there was no guarantee that Ash had not given a fake name. And if she had, then the Countess couldn’t use their kinship against them.

I think it's pretty hard to avoid imprints of the author in one place or another, but if I were to pick one thing, it'd probably be queer rage in WIP 3 and music in WIP 1 and 2. #QueerPrompts 🌈✒️ #sapphic #lesfic #sapphicwriters

#Mememay 11 Two exes who kinda hate each other, but have "magic brain chemistry," (at least according to a Norwegian who wants to blow up a rock to meet a girl), end up dousing themselves in bad perfume and wielding knives because they hate how books end. They collect strays on the way. 🌈✒️ #lesfic

#Mememay 10 Everyone picked 1 or 2, which are the truths! #1 - I've taken many wilderness survival training camps. I've even taught it in the Yukon. 🏕️ #2 - I was 🤏🏻 close to getting my pilot's licence. I've been in lots of planes as a former Air Cadet. 🛩️ #3 - the Lie. I never learned to ride a bike 🚲

#Mememay 10 1. At 15, I voluntarily lived in the woods for 7 days with nothing but the clothes on my back, a bottle of water, and a shitty knife 2. At 16, I have taken the controls of an airplane and flown it for about 20 min 3. At 17, I rode my bike from Toronto to Ottawa for charity 🌈✒️ #lesfic

Mother's day was in feb. for us, but... Yes. Julie's mom plays a small, but significant role in book 1. Izzy's mom isn't present, but sorta plays a role too. Book 2 has three concurrent plot lines, and one of them involves Jackie and her mother. #QueerPrompts 🌈✒️ #sapphic #lesfic #sapphicwriters

Book 1: there's a coming out scene for a young Izzy. Book 2: starts with two women having sex. Book 3: starts with four women in a lesbian bar in the 1950s hiding from the police. Book 4: will be repeat characters, so idk that I will/need to Book 5: Not sure yet, probably dialogue 🌈✒️ #sapphic

It's gotta be scampi/shrimp. Or books. Yes, she gets both eventually! Before Shannon, Jackie's small luxury is sleep in (and in her own bed). After Shannon it's probably a favourite drink that she could get in LA, but not easily in Ontario. #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️

My scoundscape is music. My playlists for writing have, thus far, been created especially for each WIP & are a combination of period-specific songs, vibes for scenes/book songs, and motivational songs for me. The latter does not make sense to anyone but me #pretendpanel #sapphic #WritingPrompts 🌈✒️

I guess by default this has to be Ecker - Cèilidh's cat - or Buster - Julie's dog. But neither play significant roles in the books so it's hard to say what I love. Can I say shrimp in WIP 2? They show up a lot and make me laugh because wth?! #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️

#Mememay 9 I am breaking a rule because I usually hate character art, but because I suspect WIP 3 will get character art eventually, I'm willing to capitulate here. Beverly from WIP 2 and 3. It might have taken me a minute an a half. 🌈✒️ #sapphic #lesfic #sapphicwriters #WritingPrompts

Even with a whole month of this question it be hard to pick. WIP 1 gets this one to start. This is the "theme song" to chapter 23 and Izzy's realization. I played this on repeat while I wrote the flashback. It will definitely be played at Julie and Izzy's eventual wedding. #pretendpanel #lesfic 🌈✒️

Technically, after the idea, I came up with the song. Then, when I finished the song, I forgot about everything for five years. Then I wrote the book. Afterwards, I finished the song. So... a single moment in a scene near the end. #QueerPrompts 🌈✒️ #sapphic #lesfic #sapphicwriters

Shannon loves the smell of freesia and the salty smell of the ocean. Jacqueline loves the smell of rain on warm pavement and the rose perfume her grandmother used Beverly likes the smell of barely yellow bananas, caramel, and boat tar. #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️ #WritingPrompt

Izzy drums. Sometimes for hours. Julie lets her playlist guide her. Jackie likes to be alone. Walking, hiding out, sitting on a park bench in the rain. Shannon is the kind of person who would talk it out. With Jackie, a friend, herself (1/3) #AwesomeCharacters #Shaquelin #sapphic 🌈✒️ #WritingPrompt

#Mememay 6 Finally I get to share my love for @cheekface.bsky.social and how much they rock. They're on pretty much every WIP inspiration playlist! But this one definitely has Beverly in WIP 3 vibes/themes. 🌈✒️ #sapphic #lesfic #sapphicwriters
