Today's unedited #WIPsnips comes from The Curse of a Stolen God I'm starting to learn from these WIP snips that I don't make my female characters have the easiest time when it comes to learning their role 🙈 #booksky #writingprompts #writesky

Chidi knew her role here was to create and guard Hell as one of its rulers, that, after all, is why she became. But more called to her than she would dare accept as truth in her heart. She yearned for life, for it to grow from the soil, swim in the waters and walk across the land. Something must be wrong, she thought; she was here to bring balance and vindication toward the humans who were destroying the overworld. She knew she had to bury these other feelings and focus on her duty, her fate and Felix. Who was she to argue against predetermination? To reject the glory of her position? She knew it couldn’t be; it must be residual observations from her time in the aethersphere. Create, Rule, Judge and Revive. Those were her commandments. That was her duty.

Today's #wipsnips is an unedited preview of Fruits of Her Labour #writesky #writingcommunity Delphine is feeling frustrated as everyone seems to be in on a secret she knows little about

Delphine took a minute to think on her words. She couldn’t help but get frustrated at the fact that everyone apart from her had had prior warning and information about her fate. “Well, you certainly know more than me then!” she huffed, instantly regretting being rude to those she sought help from. “If sacrificing my life as a quiet innkeeper is what it takes to save the world and Sarah..” Delphine choked on her words, with all the stress and adrenaline running through her system and her focus on finding the House of Hekate. Delphine had let Sarah's predicament slip her mind.

I was looking for local writing groups in the county magazine, and they're all AI adverts 😔. Why do folk have to use AI in creative spaces? I simply do not get it

I know a lot of writers get inspired by love or heartbreak, but I went on a date and the dude inspired me to write a book about a serial killer. Safe to say I never saw him again, but that is another book to add to the growing list of WIPs 😂🙈 #booksky

Them: Nah, you won't like it; it's a contemporary fantasy which mirrors the dangers of the manosphere and the importance of sisterhood in a world where it's dangerous to be a woman Me: #booksky

"Never quite comfortable in social settings, unable to pick up on signals from others well, Delphine often deferred to laughter as an easy way to bridge the gap in silences." Delphine is me, and I am her. I always like to try and inject a little bit of my personality into my characters #writesky
