Ah. The feeling of being between books. Meandering in a field of too many options and too little time. Still captivated by the last book, not quite emotionally available for a new one, but with the knowledge that it's only healthy to move on. 💙📚

"It does not do well to create strife where there isn't any. Our battles are many, but with these humans there are none. They do not present any threat, they possess no magic of which we are aware. They are as harmless as children." #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #AmWritingFantasy #Magic

She believed this must be what animals on rescue farms felt like, just constantly moved from area to area while being tended to, without reciprocal benefit. Luckily, the inhabitants were vegans. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

“Actually, I’m a very tender lover,” Hale remarked. She wiped her now-wet hand on her trousers, leaving a disgusting residue behind. “You’d know if you took me up on my offer.” Unfazed, Lucian flicked the splinter into the trees and snorted. “Ah, well, you see, I’m not very gentle.” #WIPSnips

“I don’t have to understand anything,” she argued. “Was I not important enough to wake? You could have done it individually.” “And we would have,” he countered, “but then someone knocked.” A chill ran down her spine despite the blistering heat. “Knocked?” “Yes.” #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

The trick to not being tired is to start reading in bed at a certain time and then not check your clock again after. It could be 10 minutes. Could be 2 hours. Your brain won't know. 💙📚

If real life right now was a book, I'd probably have stopped reading it by now for being too ridiculous. I'd think, "There's no way that people would ever actually put up with all this. And this. And this. And what's with the eggs?" But alas.

Hanna was an artist only in her dreams. She didn't have to convert her art into profit. There were no analytics in her dreams - no conversions, algorithms, or broader audiences to cater to. She left her art in a gallery that belonged solely to her mind. #vss365 #vss #WritingCommunity #dream

I don't read "comfort" books. I only read books that bring about angst, struggle, horror - perhaps things that will change my brain chemistry. All in the name of making Real Life™ seem easier. 💙📚

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 362101: To make a character really come to life, you have to know how your story changes them. If your main character goes through the story and comes out completely unchanged, then you might need to reassess things.

“Yeah, and they have every right to say goodbye, just as you had the right to volunteer for this suicide mission,” Hale argued, feeling the anger rise up within her. “What would you have had us do?” “Fight back!” Hale exclaimed. #WIPSnips #WIP #WritingCommunity

Sometimes-like in that moment-they took field trips out to the fixed service structure, trying to enjoy the illusion of still being “on Earth,” even with the windows blacked out. No one could explain why it felt closer to home than the ship did. Maybe because the ship felt like their coffin. #WIP

“You’re constantly crying on Eve’s shoulder - so sensitive - but then you get angry at me when I call you weak-minded. What, am I supposed to call you tough just because you’ve got muscles?” she asked, prodding one of his biceps. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Cry

When it comes to "show, don't tell" in writing, Rachel Huffmire recommends filtering your work for the word "see." Most of the time, it's not necessary, and removing it creates stronger sentences. #WriterSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

“Maybe don’t joke about intentionally sabotaging us.” Even without seeing him, she knew he was making a face at her. “I could make the most beautiful weapon and it would be wasted on whatever-her-name-is.” “You know what her name is, dickhead.” #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

"The idea that someone could, theoretically, be a massive part of my life, yet it not be reciprocated is… scary. And I don’t know how to explain that to someone who doesn’t understand what it’s like to have a countdown to their own death, to know that you only get so many years." #WIPSnips #Writer
