The #WIPSnips word for November 17 is “main”

The main issue is that this love that was meant to sustain Tess all these years was also the main source of the madness she felt at all turns. The lies, the deceit, the hiding. It was all wearing on her soul.

I glanced up at the sign mounted to the wall above the #main entrance. It had originally read, “Welcome to Cheyenne Mountain Complex,” but the name had been scratched away and now it said, “Welcome to Hell.” I wished for the millionth time that I’d been the one to come up with that. #WIPSnips

While I was hiding the knife I used to slit Paul's throat behind a rock in our fire pit, Amy came outside. Her panicked energy was surging.
"Did you hear someone killed Paulie? Is that going to happen to you?"
"Amy, no, the main thing to remember is I'm a henchman, a nobody."

Thanks. It's an ongoing story I'm making out of the word of the day on here.

That's a really creative idea!!!

They took University Ave, the #main artery of the bustling downtown. The street grew less leafy and less prosperous, and when they crossed over the freeway they were entirely transported. Fast food joints replaced coffee houses, and tired apartments with barred windows lined the route.

This is SO good. I love this kind of setting and it sounds super compelling.

Thanks! I buried myself in research involving submarine and surface warfare and extrapolated the planned conflict based on the Battle of Gaugamela won so brilliantly by Alexander the Great. And I loved every minute of the process!

Good god. The things we do for excellent, well-researched content.

Just ask me ANYTHING about how to construct one of those metal skeletons for high-tension electrical wires...🤪

"I drove down main street and looked to the left. Oh someone bought that old bakery,that ladder is off center and as I stood there the most beautiful woman looked at me and yes the cliche is true love at first sight, Charlotte Miller you gave me a reason to live." #WIPSnips #Romancelandia Charming..

"What the hell was THAT?" she asked, as he pulled away from her lips and stroked her cheek with his knuckles.
"Starters," he replied.
"Starters?"
"Yeah. To whet the appetite for the #main course."

Okay, time to review my choices. I could call a friend, call a doctor, call an exorcist? I call my supervisor Doris and let her know I will be out for the rest of the week.

“This—” I swept a hand around the space. “Is my workshop. I’m a luthier. Not a dog sitter. The property belongs to my brother. He employs people to do maintenance and upkeep, and if dog babysitting and accepting deliveries is part of your agreement, you’ll need to discuss that with him.” #wipsnips

Detective Daniel Davis pulled the collar up on his jacket to keep the cool air off of his neck as he approached the New York State Women’s Correctional Facility. He gritted his teeth and sighed in frustration as he opened the main door, waiting to be buzzed through the next set of doors.

"I was a daughter of the Hive before I was chosen to forward its interests by taking the Covenant to spread and #main tain the Understanding to all corners of the galaxy. On that day the Queen gave me my individuality and named me Vlhaarl. He may use the name as he wishes." Vlhaarl replied #WIPSnips

krovris.bsky.social•122 days ago

I love this. Especially using 'maintain' instead of just 'main' so anyway I'm a fan!! Also, Vlhaarl is a great name.

smoking-gnu.bsky.social•122 days ago

I was thinking that that might be stretching the rules a bit and i'd get told off or something. Happy with the positive response.

krovris.bsky.social•122 days ago

Being clever definitely makes things more fun instead of less imo!

wipsnips.bsky.social•122 days ago

smoking-gnu.bsky.social•122 days ago

Well that just makes it that much more fun!

elisescott.bsky.social•122 days ago

Okay "main tain" is clever, and so is your screen name, so I'm going to have to follow you now!

The name is temporary until i work up the courage to put down my real name, or until i get a book deal situation and need to start advertising. It's a tribute to the writer who shaped my personality during the latter 2/3rds of my childhood.
