Me: *puts on an 8-hour long sleeping sounds podcast episode to sleep in peace to the tune of a rainstorm* Spotify: But what if I randomly switch to Malevolent? Ugh. I like eldritch horror for falling asleep, not for staying asleep!

#WIPSnip #WritingCommunity #WriteSky The word "signal" technically isn't present, but signals are described.

There was a lot less intimacy in keeping watch together than ballads and tales suggested, Villa discovered at once. She and Ger sat on opposite sides of the campsite, maintaining visibility in all directions. Keeping quiet was paramount for everyone's safety, as Happy had quite ferociously reminded them before going to sleep, so they were only allowed to communicate through a system of small sounds—three clicks of the tongue meant “all clear,” two soft whistles meant “movement spotted.”

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity The word itself isn't there, but the snippet does describe the exterior of a place. 🏚️

All too soon, he saw the Willow looming ahead, wooden walls bleached gray by weather and neglect. The sign—a carved willow branch swaying over a crescent moon—hung motionless despite the light wind, as if the air itself had second thoughts about touching it.

Jorros dismounted slowly, boots sinking into the overgrown path. The air shimmered with something much colder than the residual heat of the day. The inn’s magic prickled against his skin like a cat assessing a stranger’s scent. Jorros assessed it right back.

Damp wood. Old spells gone musty at the edges. Beneath it, the faint, stubborn sweetness of valerian fighting through the tangle of weeds choking the garden out front. Vines twitched as he passed, thorns catching on his cloak as if to test his resolve.

That feeling when you give two side characters from different WIPs similar names, and now you're constantly mixing up a young rebellious noble struggling with a misplaced sense of honor and a fifty-year old man obsessed with parties and swans. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Hit me with the first line of your novel, published/finished or not. In the spring, the Wasteland bled with roses.

Not me pulling up a chapter I've already considered edited to reference a few things and ending up tweaking at least 12 separate sentences 💀💀 I do like it better with the tweaks, but it sure begs the philosophical question: is there such a thing as an actual "fully edited" state?.. #WriteSky

$Veliesh made a soft noise of protest. “I don’t think it’s fair to lump my reaction to them together with whatever’s going on with the townsfolk. I don’t get aggressive when there’s an imp nearby, or urge any children to hug it.” He paused and shot a panicked sidelong glance at Rinouk. “I don’t, do I?” Bariq leaned forward a fraction, increasingly resembling a beast half-inch away from lunging. “You don’t even remember what goes on with you when one is around?”$

Nooo, not Dolly Parton 😢 Rest in peace. Such an incredibly sad news to me. I know she was eighty, but she seemed like someone so determined to live forever, I almost believed she might.

Today's prompt led me to discover a section in one of my drafts where I use the words "fresh air" 5 freaking times in just over 300 words. Future me is going to love editing it 😂 I'm not showing you that very fresh air, naturally. Have something else. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

The sun had only barely grazed the horizon, and the exhaustion in Rennas’s bones was already threatening to put him into the earth. He was sitting by the pond in the woods, chewing on a stem of grass and staring at the opposite shore where a brook fed into the still waters with a gurgling whisper. It was a strange thing to envy the pond: how it didn’t have to do anything, ever, how it was allowed to simply exist there in the shade of the trees, and fresh energy flowed into it constantly through no effort on its own part.

Must be pleasant, being a pond.

Oh, hey, this prompt made me stumble upon some punctuation to second-guess 😂 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

The person on the threshold looked to be in their mid to late thirties, broad-shouldered, weathered-skinned, clad in a flour-dusted apron over a canvas shirt. They sauntered in carrying a box, roughly the size of a breadbasket, that looked like it was nailed together from scrap wood.

That feeling when you put your complete playlist on shuffle and it just keeps giving you songs you associate with the angstiest parts of a specific WIP. Like, does the universe itself want me to go hurt this specific set of characters? #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WriteSky

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters Full disclosure, I'm not 100% sure this description is going to survive the edits...

The frontier town sprawled across the narrow isthmus in a manner that defied all conventional understanding of urban planning. It looked rather like someone had upended a toy box of architectural styles onto the land and encouraged everybody to play.

#WIPSnips #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity #WriteSky No carriers found across multiple WIPs, let's have a "carried" instead.

"When I found you by the river, you had nothing. No memories, no weapons, no idea where you were. But you carried a stick with you, remember? A stick you picked up to fight a skeleton with."

"Oh? Oh, yeah, I remember. It was a very good stick," Villa said lightly, and then immediately felt bad about it when his expression didn't shift. "Sorry. Go on."

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WriteSky Let's have some run-on sentences that I'm more or less convinced are justified here because of the MC's state of mind (but we'll see what I think during the next round of edits).

Lysandras woke to darkness and the sounds of the ship breathing around him: the creak of timber, the rush of water against the hull, the distant murmur of voices from above. The berth felt smaller than ever, a grave, a trap, and suddenly he couldn't bear it, couldn't stay one moment longer in this wooden box with his incessant thoughts for company.

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky Apparently, my characters experience few thrills 🤣 Had to dig through six WIP files and folders to find the word.

"Personally, I'm going to be thrilled to meet the legendary runaway. He must be bringing home lots of riches and legends to make the abandonment worth it. Unless of course Window Windwell's wrong, and he's just here to crash for a few on his way from here to there. Hmm, I wonder if he needs directions to find his grandparents' graves..."

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #QueerWriters Oh hey, high time for that one opening paragraph I keep reworking!

In the spring, the Wasteland bled with roses. The flowers had been teasing their presence for days, red nubs too small amidst the thorns and the lifeless leaves to be seen from the distance, yet strong enough for the wind to carry their scent for miles. And now they had turned to full bloom overnight, carpeting the grey rocks and dust plains in lush, solid redness as far as the eye could see.

This writing doesn't affect reality any more than any writing does; that is to say, indirectly, but considerably.

A secret way to get a small but annoying task done: accidentally mark it as done in a to-do list app where you can't uncheck a thing easily, then begrudgingly do the damn task because it requires less spoons than figuring out how to uncheck it and void forbid you're not honest with your to-do app 🫣

It is possible that writing a scene with 11 characters isn't wasn't my brightest idea #WritingCommunity
