When the restaurant's fancy dishwashing machine doesn't work, it becomes a surface for dirty dishes. #WIPSnips #silver #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

Thought I'd share with the #writingcommunity and #writesky how I'm keeping myself motivated to write the current WIP. Green = Way to go! Yellow = meh. Red = shame. Tuesdays seem to be my toughest days so far. Would love to see what systems others use!

#WIPSnips vibes for #request. In salary negotiation, Charlie's holding out for a hero 🙃 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

When you spend the day writing, then giddily tell a good buddy you banged out 2500 words, and they respond with a, "That's it?" When all you were trying to do was celebrate... #writingcommunity #writesky

Tryna write in a waiting room under the cacophony of upbeat Christmas music like... #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

Had a dream in which the kid woke up at 3am and I'd forgotten to put presents under the tree. It ended up okay, though. Wife took her bowling while I corrected the error. So. This is a nightmare at 36... #Parenting

We all like our tuna salad #moist, right? #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

A little late with today's #WIPSnips. Vibes: #blanket = covers. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing #WritingPrompts

Jelly is the name of the dog set to play Toto :) #WIPSnips #smash #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

Gramsay, god of restaurants and narrator of my current WIP, makes his first appearance for today's #WIPSnips #full. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky #Writing

#WIPSnips vibes for #design today! Here we see the MC facing off against a garbage phoenix. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPromprs #Writing

Woof. An ugly one for #WIPSnips #fourth today. *rocks back and forth in the chair, hugging self: "Trust the process...trust the process...trust the process..." #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

Drop something musical!

4yo requested Devo's "Whip It" on the way to preschool today... Just wanted to share. #parenting

Drop someone HEROIC 🦸‍♀️ 🖤 🦸‍♂️

Just a short one for #WIPSnips today. Going with #dominant vibes. This draft is about as raw as it gets - only started it a week ago! #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

First #WIPSnips from my new WIP - the opening 3 paragraphs, in fact! #Belong #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

When you recommend a book you love to your best friend and they read it, then proceed to rip it to shreds and tell you how much they hated it, making you question your taste as a reader and awareness as a writer... #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky

Started draft 1 of the new novel today! This after trunking the series I'd been working on and failing at for the past 10 years...I ain't even scared. Feels good. #writing #writingcommunity #writesky

Really had to vibe for today's #WIPSnips. Up is a #direction, eh? #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky #Writing

Today's #WIPSnips from a short story about a story-serving restaurant called Cliche's. Let me know if you have any questions. #Special #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

Remember when you could play solitaire on windows without having to watch ads for virtual slot games with excessive graphics?

Another #WIPSnips from my short story about a support group for people with incredibly niche super powers. #Third #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Another #WIPSnips from a short story today. Going with vibes: #spend = pay. I'm hoping to start a new novel by next week. If all goes to plan, I can start snipping from a new source! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Writing

"We're a support group for people with incredibly niche abilities." #WIPSnips #Week #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing #WritingPrompts

POV: You are a 3yo and your parents stashed your toy robot in the basement (because it's annoying as hell). #WIPSnips #Movement #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

Let's try this again... Bit longer of a passage for today's #WIPSnips #Spell. Context was needed. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

Bit longer of a passage for today's #WIPSnips #Spell. Context was needed. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

#WIPSnips vibes! #blood-curdling #WritingCommunity #Writing #WritingPrompt #Writesky

#WIPSnips vibes. #Total = summed up! #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

Outlining a novel from scratch is like making your own puzzle pieces and jamming them together until some sort of picture presents itself. Reading your first draft is like realizing that picture looks like a three-year-old's drawing of the Mona Lisa. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

#WIPSnips vibes! #gradient = hill. Never underestimate the power of a haunting children's melody...nor the unexpected honk of a goose. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

#WIPSnips vibes. #Charge = cost. This was a fun little short story to write. Premise: a support group for people with niche and useless superpowers. MC: can fry a single egg per day. #Writingcommunity #writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

Good Morning #SFpit! It's been a while since I took part in a pitch event, so here's my #agentsguide for #literaryagents. Presenting my #A #WIP that I guess is a #SSF with a small dash of #F to it. CAVERN CLIPPER (TREASURE PLANET X JOURNEY TO THE EARTH).

#WIPSnips #Second #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #Writingprompt What a lovely witch.

Every Maga's response to No Kings: "What a great success! It must have worked, because there are no kings!" Me, realizing there must have been lots of tea at the Tea Party protests:

#WIPSnips #Field Demons have different olfactory opinions than most people. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #Writingprompt

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

#WIPSnips vibes today. #loaf = bread. This was a fun one to write because I sought out cliches to use, rather than avoid them. It was the point. #WritingCommunity #writing #writesky #writingprompt

I #might have had too many choices for this week's #WIPSnips... #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #Writingprompt

#WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky Me: best friend, please give me critical feedback on this story I've worked my ass off to hone to perfection. Friend: it kinda sucks except this one part. Also I don't get it. Me:

#WIPSnips #care #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #writingprompt

This #ultimate #WIPSnips from a short story where the king falls in love with an evil sorceress. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #Writingprompt

Today, I finally learned the value of being SPECIFIC in my writing. Short stories really force this. You can pack in a lot of information by not saying "he missed his wife" and instead saying something like "he missed their impromptu and tuneless karaoke sessions." #Writing #WritingCommunity

Today's #WIPSnips #push from a tongue-in-cheek short story about a chef who owns a restaurant called "Cliche's." Seasons the dishes (stories) she makes with overused tropes and cliches. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #writingprompt

Truly some #WIPSnips vibes today for #prize. This is part of a short story I'm going to enter for The Hope Prize. Still lots of editing ahead. #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WritingPrompt

THE KINDLER What’s trickier than straddling 2 worlds as an immigrant kid? Discovering there’s also a 3rd. When Danbi digs up her estranged father’s secrets in a hidden world, she finds a magic-stealing killer on the hunt for her rare powers. Better figure out how to use them. #DVpit #YA #F #OWN #POC
