I don't have "spooky" but I do have "spook." This is from Opus Eternal: Tess's goat is acting a bit strange #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom

The #WIPSnips word for October 27th is "spooky" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is from Losing You Backward but it's very late in the book so I am presenting it without preamble #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Welcome to spooky week for #WIPSnips! The #WIPSnips word for October 26th is "claustrophobia" Remember, use synonyms, variations or ✨vibes✨ if you don't have the word! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

My choices were either this scene from Opus Eternal or a note I found in Miraculous Horrors that basically said "Insert scene here." #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom

The #WIPSnips word for October 25th is "insert" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This snip is from the same scene as the one I shared earlier this week: Soryl is in Tova's head meeting Macsen for the first time (subbing "associate" for "equate") #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

The #WIPSnips word for October 22nd is "equate" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I don't have "peddle" but here's a description of the spice man's stall from Losing You Backward. Fion has just spotted Joric in the crowd and is trying to avoid him. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

The #WIPSnips word for October 20th is "peddle" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This snip from Death & the Dreamer is one of only two times Soryl sees Macsen's real face (the rest of the time he's occupying someone else's body) #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for October 19th is "friend" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Another one from Losing You Backward: Fion and Joric having a minor dispute over which one of them is going to lay the fire on a cold morning #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

The #WIPSnips word for October 18th is "autumn" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is from Opus: Lorcan checked into Tess's B&B last night and this morning he ordered one of everything on the free breakfast menu. Tess is very slightly annoyed with him. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom

The #WIPSnips word for October 16th is "dazzle" Even better if it's "razzle dazzle" haha #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I can't believe I missed metaphor day! 😂 Sunday is the queen of metaphors. I had way too many to choose from but here ya go ... #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

This is from All the King's Dead: Aneira has just married the most feared man in the kingdom and is trying to figure him out #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky

The #WIPSnips word for October 15th is "pass" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Another one from Miraculous Horrors. Hadrian is a dick, therefore when Riven said something he didn't like he had her locked up in his room. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

The #WIPSnips word for October 14th is "territory" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From Losing Your Backward: Joric has just made a sudden inexplicable appearance in the cab Fion is riding in #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for October 12th is "pulse" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I have no character art or character mood boards, and Dainn has changed quite a lot in my head since I first started developing him ... but this character was my original inspiration for him. #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

From Light Wielding: This is kind of out of context because I didn't want to spoil this scene, but Sunday has just pissed off the Striga. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom #AmQuerying

The #WIPSnips word for October 9th is "raid" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Answering for Joric from Losing You Backward. Q: Would you rather time travel to the past or the future? A: For the love of the gods, the future. PLEASE. (Because Joric spends the entire book traveling backward in time and he's so over it 😂) #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

In Miraculous Horrors, Dainn is the "Artificial Man," a biological but manufactured person. The world already has the concept of genetically engineered people, but Dainn is different because he was built using the remains of another person and began life as an adult. #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity

This post is unavailable.

From Miraculous Horrors: Dainn is a huge problem for Riven because he looks exactly like Antony, who has been dead for five years. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

The #WIPSnips word for October 7th is "comparison" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From Miraculous Horrors: Dainn is supposed to know Corde, but his memories are fragmented so he's kind of winging it. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

The #WIPSnips word for October 6th is "rice" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is from Between Two Winters. Oleksiy's wound healed overnight, which is very bad news. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Werewolves #ShapeShifters #Folklore #Horror

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for October 5th is "wall" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Okay, #WritingCommunity let's discuss misbehaving characters. When your character does something you didn't plan for them to do, do you rethink the scene? Let them take the reins or rein them in? Or take it as a sign that your character has gained consciousness?? 😆 #WritingPrompts #LitHodgepodge

In yet another awkward dinner date scene, Sunday and the Moth King discuss the events that led to the Moth King becoming the Moth King. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom

The #WIPSnips word for October 4th is "contract" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I got nothing. No character art. Some faceclaims that out of context won't really mean anything. So here is Oleksiy from my short story. Sorta. #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

From Death & the Dreamer: Tova murders Errol, and then Errol gets back up, so that's how everyone's evening is going #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

The #WIPSnips word for October 3rd is "petal" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

For my current #WIP, Blade Runner would be the most fitting but I'm pretty sure everyone except the antagonist would be almost immediately identified as a replicant and would therefore have limited screentime. #LitHodgepodge #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

This post is unavailable.

From Losing You Backward: Joric is trying to walk back to Fion's flat when he discovers he's being followed. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

The #WIPSnips word for October 2nd is "dent" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Hi writers! I only just realized today is October 1! I write mostly speculative fiction with a little romance (HEA not guaranteed). I'm currently working on a scifi novel. #LitHodgepodge

This is the first couple of lines from my werewolf short story "Between Two Winters." #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky #Werewolves #Shapeshifters #Horror #Folklore

Hello, October!! The #WIPSnips word for October 1st is "injury" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This one is from All the King's Dead. Aneira and Rhodri are about to meet the Lich, and the guards they brought along "just in case" are proving to be not super brave. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #SFF #FantasySky

The #WIPSnips word for September 30th is "guard" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Since I'm in Hadrian mode I'll regale everyone with another snip of Hadrian being an asshole. Here he is having a matter-of-fact talk with Dainn about Dainn's upcoming death. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

The #WIPSnips word for September 29th is "well" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Evidently I only ever use the word "prime" in sex scenes so instead of going there I added "prime rib" to this scene so I'd have an excuse to post another Hadrian snip #WIPSnips #WIP #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for September 28th is "prime" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Another one from Miraculous Horrors ... this had to be a Dainn snip because Dainn really, really hates delays. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #SFF #ScienceFiction

The #WIPSnips word for September 27th is "delay" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From Miraculous Horrors: Riven discussing her disappearance with Hadrian (yay!), my all-time favorite character I've ever written, who by the way is an asshole. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

The #WIPSnips word for September 26th is "observe" #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Also from Light Wielding ... this is actually like the 10th rewrite of the first couple of paragraphs of the book. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FantasyRomCom

The #WIPSnips word for September 25th is "nation" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
