I'm making short stories with three act structures. These will be based on my main work in progress, where each character will have their own backstory. The first one is posted here. These are really an exercise for me, but feel free to read them and offer feedback! www.wattpad.com/story/401282...

Starting short stories based on individual characters from my manuscript as a writing exercise. Focusing on conciseness, overall structure and developmental clarity. #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #reading #scifi #fantasy
From the grand city of Vael'theris, a wonder of technological triumph and post scarcity wonders, traveled a thyrea. Though highly esteemed, she was looked down upon by the more experienced and vetted Vyrethi on the transport craft. 

Her peers were almost exclusively thyren—biologists, physicists, and kin of the fold. The eyes and ears of the Vyrethi, the data collectors, travellers.

The craft was headed northeast to the desolate Aerel mountain range, far from civilization. She squinted as she peered out the window, silver eyes pained at the bright glaciers and snowy peaks.

A cold thyren voice rumbled by her side. 

"You'll be snowblind before you leave the hatch, close the shade."

The vines and roots began to wrap around his body as he cried and screamed for his mother. His voice cut short by the rough roots crawling down his throat, burrowing into his eyes and nostrils as they pulled him into the ground. #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #reading

They spiraled into passion—the feeling of eachothers lips, the gentle touch...something more.  Theia stopped him and pushed him off of her.  He kelt on her bed, their legs still intertwined.  "I'm sorry, Theia. I..."
She reached up and put a finger to his lips before lifting his shirt off of him, revealing the sleek hardened body of a warrior.

He drew his shoulders back and watched as she traced the outlines of ages old scars.  She leaned forward and caressed her lips against his warm skin.  His breath caught in his throat at her gentle and inviting touch.  

The feeling of fire in his heart erupted as she dragged her fingers down his back.  His hands came to rest on her waist reverently—her presence was sacred, cherished.

Final edit, 80k words. I just found a minor plot hole, but I can't figure out a workaround. All I have to do is change one sentence—there's many directions I could take, but they all feel like cop-outs.

She sighed under the gentle relief of his touch, her body shifting and graceful. He leaned over her, his lips hovering barely above hers. She could feel them as he spoke. "Nothing will keep me from you, I am only yours."

Motivation for New Authors (or Just Anyone Who Needs Some Kind Words)👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 1. Keep going—your words matter more than you think. 2. Every great book started as a messy first draft.

The second draft is so fun, I get to add every little detail that was hidden in my brain—crucial character building moments while trimming the bland fillers I'd used as a crutch to get my thoughts out. It's like growing muscle on a skeleton. #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting #reading

My partner helps me with ideas. They think that there should be a romance with the tall, handsome emissary. Her only advice was "I want you to make *me* want to fuck this guy. Fair enough, I suppose. #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #reading

She looked at his strong jaw, his sharp smirk, his glowing blue eyes.  She bit her lip, thinking what it would be like if she kissed the tall handsome emissary, the one who was there when she felt her lowest.  The one who made it his duty to lift her out of her own dispair and make her feel real again.

Writing is so weird. One minute, you're in a lustful trance of what you want and it's going great, then you come back to it and either you see 100000 errors or you wanna continue and you're like... Creative trance? Creative trance?!

Every time you see a new Sci Fi writer tries to make their worldbuilding hyper realistic, it is your responsibility to tell them that worldbuilding Sci Fi does not have to be realistic, but rather consistent

writing is hard because you flip back and forth between "I am a literal fraud and this book will never be completed" and "I am a literary sex goddess and this book will earn me the affections of seven comely lasses" or maybe that's just me idk

Question for #booksky , is a 5'3" human woman and a 10' tall interdimensional humanoid man too much for a romantic situation? Like, I feel like it could work but that would raise some serious questions that I really don't want to answer 😅 #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity

I felt obligated to post this, but I honestly don't like the dry descriptions. They're so lifeless and don't convey any stylistic choices, plot devices, nuance, or really any hints of a writer's aptitude.
