#WIPSnips feign “I met a man. He was dressed really well, and he had an iron leaf on his jacket, just here. And there was something wrong with him. Like he wasn’t a person. He was fake. He said he knew where everyone in his city was, but he couldn’t find me.” [Check out the story today!]

“Where were you born?” “I don’t know.” “You an orphan?” “Nah. Time castaway. Where I was born hasn’t been made yet.”

#WIPSnips money “They ain’t rotten?” He grinned. “Course they are,” I said. “Only the best for Londinium!” He coughed a laugh. “Well, you’re a shiny gear.” He slipped a hand into a pocket and tossed me a coin. [Now on Kickstarter!]

“A potion of sneezing? Seems useless.” “It does, doesn’t it? Throw it at an enemy. It releases a cloud a fumes that induce sneezing so severe the target suffocates. And his allies laugh at him the entire time, because it’s so silly.” “I’ll take ten.”

Just finished reading "Curse of the Cosmic Horror by Tom Leveen. It's great Locevraftian horror appropriate for middle schoolers. I highly recommend it!

Everyone has unique circumstances, mindsets, personal struggles, obstacles, etc Some people progress faster or sooner & some slower or later The pace that works for one person might not work for another If we try to force #progress or #success to happen sooner, we might get an undesirable outcome

Hey, Bluesky, help a person out if you can: what's your fave SCIENCE FICTION BOOK with asexual and aromantic traces published PRIOR to 2000? Note: I'm not looking for definite rep. I'm just looking for what resonated with people because my knowledge of pre-2000s scifi is... not great.

#WIPSnips whim “I’d throw another, except I need the coin. I’m getting myself a new dress.” She lifted her nose into the air. “Put on whatever dress you want, you still won’t be pretty enough for any boy. You’re as rotten as your apples!” [Back the novels today!]

“Behold… the OCTOGUN!” “Does it shoot eight things at a time?!” “Only seven, but we figured it was better marketing to go with the octo prefix.”

#WIPSnips plaque People’s clothing was less brown. They wore sashes of red or coats of blue. Fewer women walked alone. The businesses had fancy signs and fancy names. The city ticked the same around them, though. The constable at this gate sighed as he glanced at my permit. “Business?”

The librarian smiled. “You attack me in my place of power?” “Lady, this is a library.” “Indeed.” She lifted an eyebrow. The books shook. Pages flew. A paper and ink golem formed. “Ready to give up yet?”

You've all heard how Kindle won't be letting you download or actually own the things you purchase? You know the way around that? Purchase direct from the authors. You can download direct from me, for instance! dawnsbrook-press.square.site/product/Made...

#WIPSnips sense I lifted my nose higher. “I’m the most proper picker you ever saw.” Sure, it didn’t make any sense, but those’re the words that came out of my mouth. Didn’t much matter. I was arguing with a dragon. Life didn’t make sense. Why should my words?

Look, see the syringe? It’s a dose of Memz-103. Destroys certain pathways in the brain. Makes it impossible to ever lie again. I know you’re married. Never being able to lie to your wife again? Could ruin your life. Or you could just let us into the vault now.

The Well-Dressed man stalks the streets of Londinium. Not even dragons can stand up to him. What hope do three teen girls have? Fully funded -- but YOU can make it better by helping us reach our stretch goals! #books #dragons #steampunk

#WIPSnips bowl I slipped off my shoes and stockings. A clay bowl filled with water sat next to the studio’s entrance. I scrubbed down my feet and dried them on the towels. And finally I stepped from the tile floor and onto the smooth wood floor. No other place in the city could be like this.

“A billion planets to explore!” “Captain, may I suggest we start here?” “Why is that?” “My grandma has been asking me to visit.” “Doesn’t sound like a good exploration place if your grandma’s there.” “You could explore her chocolate chip cookies?” “Make for grandma’s world!”

#WIPSnips candy “We don’t need any coin from a picker. We need apples. The cooks expect it. And my girls, they all demand an apple before bed. I don’t allow many sweets to those who stay at my studio.” “Oh.” I blinked. “I sold them all.” “So you have nothing for me tonight? Nothing I need?”

Yeah, so I says to this goon, I says, “You got a face like a troll,” and the goon smiles all pretty, “Thanks!” See, goblins are easy to butter up. You just tell ‘em they’re ugly. Now lemmee tell you, it’s harder to butter up a Siren. They already think they’re all that.

#WIPSnips glimmer “It’s a tree.” She lowered her chin. Her eyes glittered. “It’ll be a tree someday. It ain’t one yet.” “As you’re not a human, but you’ll be one someday?” She raised her chin. “Age does not determine what something is." (Back the book now!)
