Today is an exciting day! I finally have art of each member of my trio! I am very pleased to introduce Mikiva! ❤️ (With special guest appearance from Av'ry. He can never resist the spotlight 😂) @nushdeco.bsky.social did such a fantastic job bringing them to life! 🥰

Interior: Draconic library, statues of dragons and books are around the room. The ceiling has partially collapsed and snow is spilling in.

Two people stand together in an embrace.

Av'ry is tall with brown hair and a beard. he carries a satchel on one shoulder.

Mikiva has black hair, dark eyes and pale skin. Her left arm has a hyacinth tattoo. She has knives tucked into her clothing in several places and a playful, sassy smile.

Trying my hand at a bit of silly poetry. 😅

The Receptionist

Hell! Hell! Ring the bell!
Count the souls and weigh them well.
Take a number, state your sins,
This is where the fun begins.

Sloth? Well, that's not quite enough.
Life sometimes can be quite tough.
Did your rest bring others pain?
No? Then off you go again.

Lust? Let's check your life above.
Was your passion born from love?
Did you treat a soul as meat?
No? Then join the angels' fleet.

Ah, at last, you've brought your wrath.
Let us trace your chosen path.
Against injustice, did you rage?
Your name is on Saint Peter's page.

Pride! They always get this wrong.
To love your work can make you strong.
You lifted others, as you rose,
So rise again, where heaven glows.

What have we here, let's see your plate.
A glutton? We'll investigate.
Did you take more than you were due?
Please have a seat, and we'll review.

Envy? Hmm, what's in your heart?
A little longing plays its part.
Did their success help you to climb?
For you, the silver bells will chime.

Well look at you, with all that cash,
Your gold empire turned to ash.
Did you steal from those in need?
Then welcome in. This way for greed.

The rest of you! Things aren't so clear:
"Abandon hope, and enter here."
The only sins that get you through
Aren't what you feel, but what you do.

This is how current WIP starts, with a wizard dashing under fish bowls as he runs for his life. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

To find his way home, he had to follow the fish.

They swam in huge bowls hanging from the central beams of walkways that covered the city streets. Their wide, luminous tails guiding the way; twisting and turning. A mix of red, white, green, and purple flashes of light.

And, dashing under them, the Great Wizard Levytus turned left towards home at the spotted green fish. The group was getting closer. Their presence indicated by the air getting dryer as they pulled all of the moisture from the atmosphere. Every part of skin that was exposed, mainly his precious face, felt as if it was being brushed by sandpaper. His lungs stung like he was breathing in coarse grit.

Whenever an article like this comes out, people start talking about Skynet and joking about begging their future AI overlords to spare them. Don't be fooled. There's a marketing angle to this. "Look how terrifyingly advanced our AI is" is a very compelling story to tell investors.

OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack

It is one of the first publicly disclosed cyber-attacks carried out by AI without direct human involvement.

Elton explains how he came to be an acolyte of the Gray Lady. From Thief of Death, a romantic fantasy about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

“How did you end up as an acolyte of the Gray Lady?” Wren was curious and more than a little angry at the thought of someone dumping a frightened boy at the church.
“I was four when my mum brought me here. Soon as she realized I was touched by the Lady.” Elton said it matter-of-factly, not like someone hurt by being abandoned at a young age.
“Touched?”
“Oh, for certain. I have the Gray Lady’s blessing. I can see dead people.” Elton’s smile lit up his entire face.
“Yeah?” Wren gave a little snort, teasing the lad. “I can see dead people too, usually after I stick my knife in them a couple of times.”
“You know what I mean. I see their spirits, not the corporeal bits.” The acolyte was unfazed by Wren’s casual mention of murder. She didn’t know whether to be alarmed or impressed.
“So you can see Reggie, then?”
“Yep, plain as the nose on my face.” Elton snickered, amused by his own joke. Wren rolled her eyes, not caring that he couldn’t see it. “Sometimes, when someone infirm is getting close to meeting the Lady, I can see them when I couldn’t before. You know the Veil?”
“Couldn't forget it if I tried.” A shudder crept down her spine at the mention of that gray place.
“Well, it’s like… the in-between place, the space between the world of the living and the various afterlives people believe in.” Elton held his hands up with his palms an inch apart. “I can’t see the physical things in this world, but I can see the shadow they cast in the Veil, along with the spirits roaming there before they cross all the way over. It lets me get around easier than I would otherwise, except that sometimes the shadows aren’t exactly the same, and I end up tripping over a pothole or walking into a wall I didn’t know was there.”

July 20th – unfazed Mikiva runs into an old friend. Their last meeting didn’t end so well for him. #DawnsBlood #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“Well, well,” the man sneered. “This is my lucky day after all.”
Mikiva recognized that voice. “M’arec. Figures. You in charge of all this?”
“Once I heard you were involved, how could I resist?” He tore off his mask, revealing a long, ugly scar running from his left cheek up through his clouded, milk-white eye. It disappeared into his hairline on the right side. “As they say, Mikiva, an eye for an eye.”
“You lost that eye fair and square, M’arec,” Mikiva retorted. “You don’t get to seek revenge because of a contest you instigated.”
“You left before I could challenge you again. You left me disgraced and blinded with no way to regain my honor! You owe me!”
“You consider an arrow in the back a rematch, do you? That is cowardly, even for you.”
“A win is a win.” M’arec shrugged, unfazed. “Besides, business comes first. I am supposed to kill you, and I will do that in the most efficient way I can. But I won’t say I am not a little pleased that it turned out this way, instead.”

Most people would be bothered being caught naked after a bath but not Grio. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Finally opening his eyes, Grio sauntered out of the bath and rubbed himself dry. He couldn't help but cast a look at his body in the mirror, just to make sure it was how it should be. Tepid water dripped from his shoulder blades and cascaded down the slope of his back. He was Grio and he would remain as such.

Once dry, he massaged the oils into his body and wished for company, only so that his hands didn't have to be so slippery. As he rubbed them on the towel, the door opened abruptly and Anfri strode in unannounced. For once, the heir to Dragaul looked surprised. Mainly as Grio stood there naked, shiny and unphased. Grio smiled as he slowly wrapped a towel around his waist and looked directly at Anfri. His face was a mask that Grio had seen many times before. One of unexpected desire and curiosity. If the man wasn't so staid then Grio would have been tempted to seduce him but the consequences would likely be unpleasurable.

#fantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WIPSnips #unfazed Rushak has lost his temper with Drisal. POV Rush - Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power

Rushak wrenched himself away. "There you
go again! Will you stop? Will you please stop
discounting everything I say? Will you stop dragging me into your constant struggle against my reality?" He grabbed Drisal's upper arms in both hands and
shook him. "You were not there! You did not hear the very stones of the tower screaming!" Letting go, he made as if to shove him, but only succeeded in
shoving himself backward, nearly losing his balance. Unfazed, Drisal caught him.

"No. And neither did you. You were
overwrought then, and you've been overwrought since. It's been justified every step of the journey, but no less damaging for that! You let your pain inflate things, cinshamm. You inflate this scroll and yourself
to mean—“

"Stop it, Drisal!" he cried, pummeling him,
trying to wrestle away, though his brother was overwhelmingly stronger. “No i do not. I have never read anything truer.”

G'morning #WIPSnips! The end of the first day for Milly as a brand new employee of this very strange school. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“Yeah, that sounds fair. I’ll check back with Clara tomorrow to see if she got any sort of study plan for my ‘self defence’ class with your students. I hope she manages to make something believable, for both our sakes,” I say pointedly, but Irena seems completely unphased.
“I’m positive your friend will deliver. Also, be aware that Mr Val’s class usually starts at around 10 am. Goodnight, Milly, I hope the furnishings serve you well this night!” Irena says and starts to turn around to tell the girls to go to bed as well, I assume.
“You too, sleep well!” I say and close the door.
You too? In her own house? Ugh, stupid. And starting class at ten in the morning? This ‘school’ definitely is very different from any other I’ve ever experienced. I throw myself onto the very comfortable bed with copper coloured sheets, a prevailing theme everywhere in this massive building now that I come to think on it. I also think very very deeply about what I’ve gotten myself into with this new job, and I drift off into sleep while doing so.

“They’re inviting us in,” Datusha said. “Let’s not keep them waiting.”

Ashrah stepped through the gateway. Immediately, a gush of spectral wind blew on her back, like heavy gates closing behind her. Unfazed by it, she opened her Astral Sight just enough to perceive the shimmering shadows behind the walls. Dozens of them, far more than Datusha had sensed outside. Each a stone to build the bridge to her purification, to her freedom.

“Surrender, beasts of chaos, for you have nowhere to run now.” Her voice cleaved the silent hamlet like a blade through decomposed flesh, trembling the spectral forms of her enemies.

The heist is almost over. One final, malevolent security rune stands between Baz and their prize. But will fear stand in his way too? 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘥 ✨vibes✨. From a novel about the adventures of a girl, a small robot, and the heist crew they call family. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Baz glanced at the rune again. It glared at him with its burning eyes and raised arms, as if welcoming him to a circle of hell. Every stroke of the symbol dripped with condescension. It didn’t need to defend itself, because it couldn’t imagine ever being challenged.

Just like Maestro.

Behind him, Sophie lay still on the floor. Somewhere far above, Scruffy was in the arms of something monstrous. And across the earpiece, his friends had fallen quiet.

There were no riddles left to solve. No sleight of hand, no final twist, no improbable escape wrapped in smoke and mirrors. No more tricks.

Just one miserable rune standing in their way.

Baz felt the last of his fear ebb, as the tide of something sharper washed over him. He glared up into those fiery black eyes with growing defiance. If it wanted to stare at him, then it could damn well be stared at too. Sophie had done the same, hadn’t she? In fact, that’s what each and every member of the crew did.

They felt fear in their hearts. They stared death in the eyes.

And they walked forward anyway.

This is the beginning of the end in First to Fall as everything goes up in smoke. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #HQPress

The ball tumbled over the cobbles and rolled towards one of the many storage buildings that lined the river edge, only the desperate or not superstitious lived here. It was too hot and powerful for any puddles to quench it and within seconds the wooden structure was starting to smoulder. One of the waden screeched and turned its head towards him. Strope staggered backwards to get away from it but stopped when he saw the figure approaching.

Their body was silhouetted against the red flames and the grey-black smoke. A straight-backed figure illuminated in white. The shards of light were dagger-like in their sharpness but pulsating with the heartbeat of their creator. Strope couldn’t help but be hypnotised by this terrifying creature who radiated power. He knew who it was before he even saw his face. Grio’s blue eyes twinkled in recognition when he saw Strope and he winked.

“Look at you. A grown man doing child’s magic.” Grio stepped a few paces forward and Strope shielded his eyes from the glare.

“Oh no! What did I do!?” Her voice wavers and quavers. But then Craig shows that he conscious by moving again by upright from where he landed with almost no visible go-between stage.
“Holy crap, that was amazing!” he calls out with the biggest grin I’ve ever seen on his enthusiastically beaming face, with red stained teeth for all to see. I rush to his side but I’m beaten there by Ignacio and Sibu.
“Hold on, don’t try to move you idiot,” Ignacio says and starts examining Craig, checking his eyes, mouth and neck, while Sibu holds him steady. From what I can see, his chin is red and starting to swell, and I think all that’s really damaged is a cut on the inside of the lip, but that’s enough.

#WIPSnips 8. “Humid” Suosán, Mileena’s handmaid and best friend, shares a piece of advice in these turbulent times. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #MileenaSuêòng #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Suosán smiled at her, no blame or criticism in it. “It’s scary, isn’t it? Freedom.”

“Freedom?”

Her handmaid nodded. “Did you know that, in Õra Mósa, they keep animals in jails to provide them with entertainment?”

Õra Mósa was a kingdom to the southwest with a fiercely hot and humid climate and strange but friendly animals that were nonetheless thrown into cages by the locals with their barbarian traditions. “I do. It’s why we’ve long cut contact with them. Unless it’s to threaten them.”

“I was born there, to a Nether-Touched confined to one such jail.” Mileena stared at Suosán, her mouth hanging open. “It is more awful than you can imagine. But the people who watch those so-called spectacles, they never see the ugly side. They only see the dances and the tricks that fascinate and make them laugh.” She took one of the princess’ hands between hers. “You have always reminded me of the friends I made during my captivity, princess. A beautiful bird locked in a golden cage and only allowed to sing in front of an audience. But now you have escaped, and the whole world lies before you. A world you were denied. And this vastness is terrifying, but if you allow this old nû’ëngo one last piece of advice, it is this: no matter how scared you are, spread your wings, show your colours, and sing not with anger or angst, but with love.”

#WIPSnips -Silverwolf (TaMB 2)- CW: foul language, violence No direct use of 'stadium'-like words in the book, so I just pulled 'fight.' This is a key part of Dominika's confrontation with the man she's been hunting for years. Missing alt text is 'charging body.' My Books: pjccahill.carrd.co

Dominika narrowed her eyes at the wall she knew he was ducking behind. "Why the fuck are you acting so pleased with this situation?" Dhana's comments were stinging in her mind. She'd seen the grin on his face, and his tone was obvious.
He called back, "Why wouldn't I be? This is practically a dream come true, if not great on timing. Can't have it all!"
"Dream come true?" Dominika hissed, her outrage starting to get the better of her. Her discipline was slipping, and she knew it.
Sahir chuckled. "I told you, didn't I? That I wanted to fight you again, if you lived? All that killer instinct, all that crazy training and skill, with a werewolf's power behind it? The idea gave me chills! I'd never had a human hold me off so good! I didn't want you to go to waste when I did catch you. Now? We're full circle, babe. You've got me on the back foot, and I'm excited! I live for this shit!"
Her eye twitched. "You want this? You want me to kill you for what you did!?"
Sahir snorted. "Kill me? No. I want the FIGHT! And I can tell you're all in. I love it. God, there's no better high than this adrenaline. I haven't felt it in forever. Hell, I think the last good rush was fighting YOU! And now it's even better! Gonna tell me your name this time? I never forget a scent or a face, but never got your name."
Dominika seethed, her vision darkening on the edges with the insult of his attitude. The pure gall, the insane detachment from his own actions. "The only name I'll give you is Silverwolf."
Sahir quickly switched from confusion to pleasure again. "Oh, you really went all in on killing me. The silver, the name. Aw, babe, I've been haunting your dreams for all these years? And I didn't get you anything for our second date! I'm such a bad boyfriend!"
He grinned as he heard her snarling roar.
Assuming she was going to take the direct route, Sahir dove forward, already twisting and aiming his gun back before the plaster and drywall even started to break apart around Silverwolf's

Fellow authors: Without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP? -- In the beginning, there wasn't very much of anything anywhere, and it was also quite dark. Those were the good times.
