#WIPsnips "comparison" from Ch 54, Parley of Billionaires: Quetzalcoatli + Haast's eagles + velociraptors hovered + swooped + tore muscle from bone + flew off to chew. Gigantopitheci's thick legs sheltered California grizzlies, making the bears look dainty in comparison. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "rice" = "food" from Chapter 65, Scribe God Sees Some Things: Some places serve food for eating or for taking away. Others seem to have popped up only because somebody wanted to make something weird or beautiful or both. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "contract" from Chap. 32, Dragons Know a Mascot When They See One: If we are needed to help in our special way, we might or might not decide to intercede. This basic contract is the foundation of dragon culture. We have no natural urge to interrupt human folly. #writersky #writingcommunity

Everybody knows that raccoons have 4,832 words for Fùčk ¥ŏµ in their raccoon language. This morning I slept in just a tiny bit, only an hour, and discovered a 4,833rd way to say Fùčk ¥ŏµ in raccoon. (That brush was many feet away, stuck in a broken pot.) (But the mud is normal.)

#goodmorning Today while I was putting kibbles into the raccoons' dishes — and scolding them fondly, as one does — I heard laughter. A dog walker had observed me + my swarm of hangry deck bisons + heard me chiding the kit to get out of the dish I was trying to fill. #writersky #booksky #amwriting

#WIPsnips "guard" from Ch. 14, Woolly Mammoths vs Paige Worthington: The mammoth observed her calmly, standing up now with its head slightly cocked. It almost looked like an attitude of amusement. Then the mammoth stomped the guard and started to nibble at her flesh. #writersky #writingcommunity

#goodmorning One night, all the snakes decide my home is the place to come and die. That morning and every morning thereafter, my yard is full of dead and dying snakes. They show no interest in hurting me, nor do they turn to me for help. They are there only to die. #writersky #booksky #amwriting

#WIPsnips "prime" from Ch. 49, Regens relent: As Kukulkan's project proceeds beyond its original hit list, regens delight him by adopting actual strategy as they expand their hunts. They pay attention to crowds of bald monkeys specifically of prime reproductive age. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "delay" from Ch. 62, Hospice for the Human Species: Is that why, when you see death, you build elaborate baffles around it with religion + satin pillows for heads that cannot feel? And painful treatments for which no data supports their delay of the inevitable? #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "observe" from Ch. 67, If It Itches, You're Doing It Right: I observe + record without prejudice, to interpret + integrate. Finally, it is my duty to tell you. Of all creatures with access to the collective memory, I am the only one who has lived as a human. #writersky #writingcommunity

#goodmorning As sesshin ends, tears start. I think it's because I remember my jukai + how I won't share future occasions with her. But that's not it. It is that I can never be alone in the world.

#WIPsnips "tumble" from Ch. 14, Woolly Mammoths vs Paige: When the SUV stops abruptly, passengers tumble off their seats. The men founder beside their chairs. Paige lies on her back in front of hers.

#WIPsnips "meltdown" => "tantrum" from Ch. 13, Homecoming: I have no notion of my actual role, my task, my path, I tantrummed. I have no goal, no hints from the humans who took me in. Each day I become more frustrated. I just want to spend time here in Uncanny Valley. #writersky #writingcommunity

#goodmorning Gravity is my friend. Gravity is my lover. If we break up, how will I stay tethered to earth? I feel like I will just turn into something like a cloud, at the mercy of wind and doomed to fall as droplets onto thirsty soil. #writersky #booksky #amwriting

#WIPsnips "stream" from Chapter 48, Aurochs & Quaggas Pick at Their Food: Unlike the quaggas, Sir Benedict was not lean and streamlined. His belly and ass and legs were thick, not delicate like theirs. Not to mention the weight of the armor and weaponry. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "signal" from Ch. 56, First Altars: Humans are like spiders, instinctively running toward a disturbance in the web because it signals food. The food — us — thinks they run toward our superior beauty and brilliance. If they cannot eat us, they will poison us. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "tube" from Ch. 56, First Altars: Deep into the dragon scale path is a metal mesh cage bent into the shape of one of the big dragons like Fafnir or Blue. A light tube extends out the gaping mouth, like a continuous flame shooting out the dragon's mouth. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "exterior" from Ch 30, Brad the Human FAFO: I, Brad, think of dragons as pretty, glossy gift wrap to conceal my grubby, rumpled, stuttering exterior carcass.
