I think the answer depends on the desired outcome. Owen, Wesley, and Kenzie can recover from almost any criticism, but only Wesley can/will take valid criticism and try to be a better person in response. #AwesomeCharacters

G'morning #WIPSnips! Part of the initial student orientation scene, just after Milly was hired at the school. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“Ah, they’ve arrived! Just in time!. Now students, you will be divided down the middle with regards to accommodation. Girls will climb the right, my right, stairs and find the right hallway, where your rooms will be. Boys will do the same up my left. There are a few basement rooms for any of you that desire such a room instead.” I’m left wondering who’d really prefer a room in a basement, but I see two of the kids visibly relax at the suggestion. One is Goran and the other is, I think, a girl, but is more accurately just a nearly obscuring waterfall of straight black hair almost down to the floor, with one narrow slit revealing one side of a very pale face and a green eye.

#SummerOfStories 30 | Oh boy, this is a tough one. A recent example might be this one i wrote recently, though, and is a description of a character introduced late in the story. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
My mind reels from the change in circumstances while my body tries to recover from the exertion. I gulp in huge lungfuls of breath as the woman takes a step forwards, still pointing the flame-headed spear at my chest. I hold up my hands to show that I mean her no harm, not something that might be smart as I still have my talons out.
“Whoa, hey wait a minute! Sister? Who are you looking for?” I ask, but facts are ticking into place at the same time as more details of this person trickle in as well.
The general theme of this woman is orange, like the flame-headed spear. Her armour is an interlaced and overlapping pattern of orange leaves reaching down to below the belly button, and moves with every movement with her body like a second skin, and meets a black leather armour skirt with more metal leaves embedded in it down to mid-thigh. She has pauldrons and knee armour resembling orange pumpkin rinds interlacing with more leaf armour on the arms and legs. Her eyes are a deep glowing orange, as is her long orange hair which does not hang down like hair usually does, but hangs in the hair behind her as if suspended in water. She has what looks like a combination of a circlet and half a helmet sitting on her head, covering half her face with more orange metal while two black bat wings stand up over her head from the circlet. Cobwebs are tattooed to the corners of her eyes, black on her remarkably pale skin. Her orange lips are curled back in a snarl, and I can see a few shallow scars on her face, possibly from blade cuts by how thin they are. Her ears poke out from behind the metal helm plates, pointy at the tips like an elf or something, but further observation has to wait as she advances more towards me.

I don't have a favorite so I'm just whipping this one out because 1) it is one of the first instances of what will become a trend for Owen (dispelling other people's concern with humor) and 2) penis joke. #SummerOfStories #Dogwood1
      “What are you really doing here, Owen? Why are you risking everything for—for nothing?”
      “What’s your problem all of a sudden?”
Wesley came forward. Owen automatically shuffled backward till he hit a file cabinet.
      “You want to know what my problem is? You want to know what I’ve been doing ever since I broke the dam, and now, that you tricked me—manipulated me—into returning the Horn of Evercalf to the huldrefolk—and ever since then, I have been thinking about how small and useless your hands are!” He grabbed one of Owen’s wrists and shook it for emphasis, making the hand flop around. 
      “Yeah? I got a small dick too, gonna drag me for that while you’re at it?” Owen tugged futilely against Wesley’s grip.
      “Can you throw a punch? Can you even open jars? When this massive tower of shit you have infiltrated inevitably comes crumbling down on top of you, how do you intend to dig yourself out with hands like these?”

CHAPTER I
EVERY GOOD ADVENTURE
STARTS IN A TAVERN
OZANNA
If Arlo didn't shut his mouth, I was going to climb over the bar, shove my money down his throat, and take the change out of his ass. He was just standing there, chatting away with another customer an infuriatingly easy smile deepening the lines of his aged face while I flailed and failed to get his attention. But it wasn't until the third I'll be with you soon gesture that I hauled myself up on the stool-rung to hurl a copper at him. And that's when my gaze fell upon the tip boxes.
There were four of them, small and wooden, secured to the wall behind the bar, one for each of his regular tavern maids. Including one for his wife, Tabi, who was the cook. Since tips were easily stolen from the tables, it was Arlo's policy to collect them along with payment and place the money in the proper box. And from my elevation, I could see each name painted on the lid above the coin slot.He sighed and peered at me thought-fully, offering up a sheepish little grin that made his eyes sparkle. "You've bewitched me, Ozanna. When I look at you, I see the afternoon sun in an autumn forest. Feel the warmth of its light on my face and the promise of our life to come-grown from the fertile depths of your eyes, shielded by the fierceness of your spirit, and nourished by the veiled gentleness of your heart." He cradled my face in his hands, resting his forehead against mine, and closed his eyes. "Not a day goes by that I don't recall the scent of your ecstasy, the tender brush of your fingers against my skin ..." He shuddered and nuzzled my nose with his own. "... the taste of my seed on your lips ... I'm possessed by you; haunted by every kiss and lingering glance..."
I tipped my chin and pressed my lips against his, unable to bear more of his words or the intensity of the feelings they stirred in my chest. "I love you," I murmured with a gasp before kissing him again. "I love you I love you I love you.
We clung to each other and savored the moment, my fingers combing through the hair that hung against his cheek while he held me tight.

#WIPSnips word for April 7th is "shortcut" #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity Nin has realized that she traveled three-quarters all the way around the sacred forest when she could have just traveled to Tairseach Mulhcráeb in one third the distance and time, based on what she knows now.

Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "shortcut"

As Darach made them a mid-day meal since they skipped breakfast, Nin thought aloud. “I don’t know why the magician said I had to go to each tavern owner for a clue when they imparted nothing new that I didn’t already read in that book. I knew I had to find the gateway and the gold was at the summit. The only bit of new information of was where to find Tairseach Mulhcráeb. At this point, I could have taken a shortcut, traveling directly from Oakdore to here in a fraction of the time and without wolves or bandits.” 

 “Would you have traded all the time we spent together for a faster route there?” he asked, his voice solemn. She heard the question in his voice whether he was worth the bother.

 Without having the time to get to know Darach, would she have fallen in love with him just the same? Without the hardships they faced together, as unpleasant as they were? 

 “No,” she replied, smiling at him with fondness. “I would not trade a moment away, even with the brief bits of sorrow. Even now again, some rain must fall,” she philosophized.

‘Who writes this kind of dialogue?!?” That would be me. 😳 #WritingCommunity
With the mug still firmly stuck to his lip, Pennalties watched something emerge ahead of the snow. It roared toward him like some great beast, that wasn’t actually all that ‘great’ at all, but, instead, was somewhat of a long, thin stick with various weapons sticking out of it. It came to an abrupt stop before him, quivering.

Pennalties wasn’t quite certain whether this sort of thing happened often in these blasted wastes, there was little lore to go by on the place and it was, after all, why they had all made the trip, but he had a fairly good idea that broomsticks appearing from nowhere was not a regular occurrence pretty much anywhere. The broomstick didn’t quiver from the cold. No, it was something primal and animalistic which, on the whole, didn’t make all that much sense when facing a bit of wood and bristles. It seemed to be in a rage, whipping this way and that, looking for something.

Without realising it, Pennalties ripped the mug from his lip with nary a yelp and the thing snapped toward him, looking, for want of a better word, directly at him. It seemed to regard him, to look him up and down and Pennalties was extremely glad it didn’t appear to have teeth, that he could see, and, before he could attempt, and fail, to make a brave and fearless run for it under the gaze of the broomstick, it shot away at a really quite remarkable speed and disappeared out into the raging snow storm. It was, it had to be said, a little bit of an odd encounter.

“I’m terrible sorry to say, chaps, that the dogs have hoofed it.” Returning to the tent, Pennalties poured himself another mug of hot, weak tea, which was, after all, still tea regardless, and sat down. After a thought, he tried to cheer up. “Do any of you chaps happen to have a leg you’re not particularly fond of?”

Without the dogs, without rations and with only a can do spirit and a saw, they may just find it a little difficult reaching their destination. Getting back should be a breeze, however.

Silhouette of an oak tree against a green background.

Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "need"

It was morbid curiosity to witness the event with her own eyes that it was really happening than any desire to see the only man she ever loved getting married to another. If anything, she wasn’t happy but afraid that she would never get married, never be mistress of her own house, and have land to grow and plant things, being something other than just an unmarried alewife. There were many things Nin was afraid of, but right now, those were at the top of her list.

 “There is no need to make such a fuss!”

 “Make a fuss? Over being assumed I would not want to go to my own sister’s wedding?” Nin ground out, trying to keep her tone even and calm while her forced smile began to falter, afraid if she let her true emotions show themselves, she would be excluded.

From: ‘Grimoires, Tomes, and Holiday Homes’ Prompt: ‘Need’ #WiPSnips
“Oh, that’s just wonderful news! Thank you so much, it means a great deal … what?” If he were a far more effusive person, he would have grabbed her hand to shake it, but decorum, and her sharp step back put a stop to that. He frowned, running a certain word through his mind again. “Spell? You cast a spell? How many witches are in Cucumber Sands?”

“Two, at the moment, but one of them is a quite insane bird worrier. Don’t worry, Mr Underbrick.” Ms Haveaknot made a surreptitious glance behind her, and leaned forward, whispering. “It is I, Porfira Honeysmile.”

She swept a hand in front of her face and her features shimmered, folded, warped, and there, before Glark, stood, indeed, the artistically inclined witch, Porfira Honeysmile, also-known-as, Mylima Crowscroak, also, apparently, known as Worrisome Haveaknot. She had several spots of paint on various parts of her face. It was all really far too confusing and Glark needed to sit down. There was nowhere to sit, so he simply wobbled a little and watched as the glamour returned to Porfira’s, or Mylima’s, or Worrisome’s face. He wobbled a little more.

“But …” He looked toward Errol once again, but the god only gave him a scowl, an extremely rude gesture with only one of his fingers, and absolutely no support whatsoever. “… but … how many disguises do you have? Which one is the real you? Why? This is all really quite confusing. I think I may need a lie down somewhere.”

the "one rule" was that Owen had to be nice to Wesley after sex. #WIPsnips #Dogwood2
    Owen shied back like he didn’t want Wesley to touch him. “You did something to me,” he said in a petulant voice. “Some fey trick that made me—” His face reddened and he looked away.
   “So much for the one rule.” The accusation hit Wesley squarely, but he was growing accustomed to Owen’s special brand of post-coital vitriol, like the burst of pus from a lanced wound. He said calmly, “I can’t do that sort of thing outside of my own Haven anyway.”
   “But you would have, if we’d been in your Haven.”
    Wesley’s eyes narrowed. “I think the would-or-wouldn’t of it all is irrelevant, since you have just proven I don’t need to.”

"need" A rather interesting clue can be found in the trinket shop 🕵️ #WIPSnips #TCoS #AmWriting
Back at the smaller, cuter shops, I point out the one called Crowsley's Trinkets. The outside is absolutely covered in colorful glass suncatchers. Through the front bay window, I can see silver jewelry stands and glittery scarves much like the one Morticia was wearing. "Shall we go in?" I ask Grace.

"Why?" she asks bluntly, eyeing the shop with complete disinterest.

"For fun, of course!" I say, waving her after me. I understand Grace's reaction. Shops like these exist almost everywhere you go. They're paradoxical in that they claim to sell unique and one-of-a-kind things—and they do—but they're the same kind of unique and one-of-a-kind things sold almost everywhere else. To Grace, local honey tastes the same everywhere. Goat milk soap cleans just as well in New Hampshire as it does in Oregon. She buys them, when we need them, because she likes to support local businesses, but she doesn't get excited. I do. A shop like this can hold little clues as to the local culture.

It was all so absurdly fragile—all of it. She saw that now. She’d had a glimpse of it before when her father died, but the truth of it hadn’t really flattened her back then the way it was doing now.

It had all always been fragile. Yet what had she been doing all this time? Playing silly games, procrastinating, telling herself “soon” or “maybe tomorrow.” Letting her fears and foolish pride stop her. Assuring herself that there was no need to act now because it was all inevitable anyway. Debating with herself over pointless philosophical questions about fate and free will when it didn’t really matter, did it? The only thing that mattered was that it was all going to end, one way or another, maybe sooner, maybe later. The only thing that mattered was reaching out into that abyss and finding a hand to grasp so that you knew you weren’t really alone.

Kena.

Mireia’s body was howling.

She was an aching emptiness that needed to be filled, a roaring hunger that groaned to be satisfied.

Her body, her heart, her soul all rang with the need.

She needed Kena.

She needed Kena.

She needed him in every way it was possible to need a person.

What was she doing? Lying in this bed, alone—in this hut—letting her life run out minute by minute when she had no idea how many minutes she might even have left? What good did it do to lie here hurting with need, when the very thing you needed was just a short walk in the dark away?

Mireia was already climbing out of bed before she’d even realized she had made her decision.

The only way to find another hand to grasp in the abyss, after all, was to reach your own hand out first.

I never pass up an opportunity for humor. The laughter balances out all the screaming and crying. #Writesky #pretendpanel

Yes, he's naked. He's hot. But what I'm really proud of is that I FINALLY got his face! His kind eyes, the smile is a lil stiff, but it's more Lhoris than anything else I've managed. #romantasy #darkelf

Well, I definitely MEANT to type "published," but as an indie author, it's also not *wrong.* 😅😅
Image of a Google doc, the line asks "Publisher name or self published"
I butchered the spelling and autocorrect filled it as "self punished."

Just dropping a lil character art in process. (Don't mind the creepy model. He's just back there giving me shadow and light now.) Really happy to finally have a smile on his face. #romantasy #characterart

#AwesomeCharacters (After The Bite) Neither Erika or Lenora has any real problem sleeping. Erika spends her first night out of the cocoon sleeping in an isolated concrete box, basically, on top of a roof. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I've been working my butt off. Hopefully I can get back into the habit of posting here. It's awful how not having enough of a wip to sample snippets means I'm not motivated to get on threads. I miss my wipsnips!
