Her trust is dead. Can he resurrect it? This slow burn, romantic fantasy romp is filled with ghosts (some helpful, others less so) graveyards, conniving thieves, and nefarious necromancers. Available for pre-order. Out Oct. 29th. 💀 🪦 #Booksky #Wrencer 📚️ ❤️ books2read.com/u/b61YR0

They would both absolutely insist they are not gods, and implying they are might offend the real gods. But, they would both be mother goddesses, just in slightly different ways.
Please try to remember the 27th of #Octember! TODAY'S QUESTION: After meeting your character, what kind of god would a primitive alien think they could be? Dropped off in a far off place, they blundered about, and now there's little statues with their face... 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
#SunsetChat Cassia is too autistic for all that noise, she is looking for a chance to go someplace quiet. She is taking her Victorian date out to the gardens and discussing the history of steam power somewhere more quiet.
#SunsetChat Q5: choose your own ending tonight! I’ll give your characters a chance to sneak away to the gardens to do whatever you describe (alone or with the stranger you met if you want 😍) Or! Describe a big collective dance scene! #QTP #WritingPrompt #PromptGame
#SunsetChat Cassia is going to approach someone for one of two reasons. 1: They look like they'd be fun to flirt with or tease, or 2: They seem to share a common interest. She picks someone in a Victorian style outfit and ask them what they know about Corliss engines or something suitably awkward.
#SunsetChat Q4: your character(s) approach a stranger, describe the person before you? What does their mask look like? What drew your eye to them specifically? #QTP #WritingPrompt #PromptGame
#SunsetChat Being the Francophile that she is, she will tell you it is spelled Hors d'oeuvres, and she will go for some Gougères, Canapés au Tapenade, or Vol-au-vent aux Champignons, all of which she will make an honest attempt at pronouncing correctly despite being chronically American.
#SunsetChat Yeah okay, I can’t spell that fancy French word. Horsedivorce or whatever. But your characters get a small appetizer delivered to them on a tray. What little munchies are they having? Anyone unsatisfied with just one and emptying the tray? #QTP #WritingPrompt #PromptGame
#SunsetChat Cassia does not know how to dance, like literally her brain does not comprehend the idea that music and movement even go together, but she does want to. She's hanging out by the punch bowl and is hoping a man is brave enough to approach a woman as big as her.
#SunsetChat Q2: your character(s) make their way to the dance floor. The live band or musicians begin to play a song. Describe the song and who among your party is dancing. #QTP #WritingPrompt #PromptGame
#SunsetChat Well I didn't plan on drawing anything today, but now I gotta draw Cassia in the Zorro fit. Dude got so mad at California taxes he decided to sword fight the government. A real hero.
#SunsetChat Q1: what’s a masquerade without the masks?? Please describe the elegant masks that your characters are slipping into this evening. They may wear anything they like but a mask is mandatory. #QTP #WritingPrompt #PromptGame
Enya will insist that she has no fears, none whatsoever but she is actually very afraid of snow and water. In her defense, if you see lots of those in the desert, something has gone very wrong.
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters What is something that scares your character? Do they have any phobias? It could be something existential or something mundane. Whatever gets them anxious. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Here @audconnelly.bsky.social since you love injured protagonists so much, have a snippet of Cassia trying to fight a tennis ball while still in a medical boot.
I dunno I think there are enough sympathetic villains right now. That's not a bad thing, but it isn't really my style. I make villains that make you question your faith in humanity and make you come away from the story wondering if the world sucks actually.
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Today feels like a technical question day! What separates a character you love to hate, from one you just hate? A villain you may not feel sympathy for, but enjoy nonetheless? Which do you like to write? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Sometimes I think I should advertise my books the same way other authors on here. Local Militia has to travel to the mines to investigate a mysterious collapse that left 30 dead. 🚚 Trucks 🔫 Guns 👩❤️💋👩 Pretty women What more could you possibly want? www.royalroad.com/fiction/1485...
Very flowery prose. When done poorly, it just sounds like someone is trying too hard. When done well, it is poetry on the page. But it doesn't fit the style of my own writing, my books are too Steinbeckian.
What’s a writing technique you admire in other authors but refuse to use yourself? #writingq #WritingCommunity

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters It's International Artist Day! 🎉🎉 And we haven't done an art share day in a bit! So, please share with me any art you have of your characters! A doodle or picrew works too! Help me picture them! (Please no AI) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
The only ethical thing to do with Virgil Blackridge is to open one of the doors mid flight and throw him out. Now, he will be respectful, quiet, and follow all the rules so you could ignore him, but he is also a murderer, rapist, and strike breaker so he does not deserve nice things.
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Hypothetical day! You have just settled in to your seat for a 12 hour flight when the person assigned to the seat next to you arrives. It is one of your antagonists. Who is your seatmate, and how bad is this? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
