If my MC could change something about herself, it would be her soul-crushing anxiety. It is at the core of her story, but eventually she learns if she lets others help, it’s easier to carry. #writinglifemonthly #amwriting #ya #writesky

I don’t use AI, but I do “cast” my characters with actors so I can clearly visualize them as the movie in my head plays out. #writinglifemontly #amwriting #YA #writesky

I’m currently reading The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren. 💜
I’d also like to mention, Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino because it wrecked me in the best way. It’s been 3 weeks and I still thinking about it. #amreading #amwriting #pretendpanel

I’m a little late (but still have a few minutes in my timezone). In my current #wip the role of love is to be a healing force. ❤️🩹 Their love represents resilience and how two people can find solace in each other while still needing to heal individually. #pretendpanel #amwriting #ya #writingcommunity

#snip from my #LiteraryFiction #BookSeries, "Stefan's Owl from Oblivion." #alien-human 8 year old #child Ty, and 12 year old Tyco talk telepathically at Ty's bedtime. They are in different cities.

Silence fell over the throne room as he stared at his work. His heart beat so fast that he was forced to huff, as if he had just ran the entirety of the Divine Palace’s length and back. And he didn’t dare move an inch.

Bunch of possibilities for this one.

After I was a hospice caregiver for my grandmother, I applied to nursing school. A few months in, I realized it wasn’t for me. I wanted a way to honor my grandmother. As a little girl, she’d listen to me tell my stories and told me one day I’d be someone’s favorite author. So I picked up my pen…🖊️

Yes! Absolutely! 😂 I’ve been working on this wip since 2015. By “working,” I meaning I wrote a paragraph and then shoved it under my bed every 6 months. But I decided this is my year!

“It’s not dominance. Your cat has the high ground, but they’re not showing any aggression. I don’t think it’s territorial, since the behavior has been the same at my place as here.”
He’d been thinking about this.
“Maybe they’re flirting.”
He turned to look at me again. “Flirting?”

The #WIPSnips word for February 6 is "ground"
#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity
#snip from my #LiteraryFiction #BookSeries, "Stefan's Owl from Oblivion." #alien-human #child, 8 yr old prodigy, Ty, reaches the age of realization. He feels like people think of him as a thing not a person.

I use "ground" an awful lot in my WIP

Traveling through time alters them in ways a person grounded in time can't understand. Living cause and effect simultaneously distances them from the permanence of existence, and they can never get that footing back.

But delaying could only work for so long. Eventually, he saw that the tunnel widened into a cavern so large that he could see neither its sides nor its ceiling. The ground was marked by deep, regular grooves. There were no torches; only a darkness deep and foreboding, a God waiting within.

I want to have both my #wips ready for querying by May because I’m going to an in-person pitch session. Then while waiting to hear back, I want to self-publish my short story, Saving Grace. 💜

Teen Faye would be hanging out with Miles eating take out while watching Documentaries. #questpit
