As for the things his own society considers paranormal/far-fetched/the stuff of myth and legend, Vel is related to one of those.

Kenjen genuinely admires the entire adventuring party's tenacity and loathes them for how they practice it. Why couldn't they have shown the same stubbornness and conviction back when they were working for him, not against him? What do you mean it's because he was a shitty boss?

But I try to think about future readers and make sure I write in a way that's inclusive, respectful, and shines a light in dark places without making light of the dark.

I don't reflect much on how this affects what I write, though I'm sure it does. I do know the frustration's what making me tackle ALL the WIPs at once. I've gotta at least START telling them all!

Out-of-bubble stories can still be fun! But... I'll be in my bubble.

Other times, their goals are downright heroic, but they still mess things up spectacularly. It's fun to write, what can I say.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity "Even compared to the usual morning meals in Vinargald, this one was a turn to the worse. Rothean, a storm cloud in human form, barely touched his food. The only smile he'd offered throughout the entire breakfast was saved for Ghaiwar."

Moth 🔦 first picture in my October series!

#WriteSky #WIPSnips No rice has been found. Have some unidentified grains instead. No, I don't know what they are, either. We can collectively headcanon that it's rice.

By midday break, when the miners trudged back to the surface for a meager meal of boiled grains, Tarn was nowhere to be seen. Elair breathed out a discreet sigh of relief and focused on gobbling down his porridge, garnished as usual with a few tiny specks of parsley and a faint smell of fried onions.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky "The chandeliers of the Discovery Hall are shaped like lilies. When brass petals open, they hiss with newfangled gaslight. Gentlemen in polished top-hats and parasol-carrying ladies whisper among themselves while they wait for the man of the hour. For me, that is."

Thank you for sharing! I'm also hoping it's some technical bug that's going to be sorted soon.

#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

...But if the author were to decide, "Hey, I'm gonna go throw my own book into the high seas because I love the idea of losing income," couldn't they have done it anyway? It's not like turning a Word/Scrivener/whatever document into an epub file is hard. Like, where's the logic?

This character is, unfortunately, currently aiming her matchmaking skills at the entirely wrong people... 😅 But by doing so she's inadvertently going to help one of them find real love and save her own relationship in the process, so I think her assessment of her matchmaking skills is fair enough 😂

But... but what if just one more tweak will bring it closer to 100% done? 🥹😂

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.
