Does anyone in the #writingcommunity know a good male equivalent to "damsel"? Internet search was unhelpful.

#WIPSnips #Writing #WritingCommunity #Writesky It's called a "spork," dingus.

Golden Candle = Michelin Star #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #WIPSnips

Just had to real quick look up when the spork was invented.

#Writing be like: Write a sentence. Whew! That took a lot outta me. Doomscroll for a quick hour. Alright, back to it. Write a PARAGRAPH?? Geezus! I need a break! Play a game for a few rounds. Wait, why am I wasting my writing time? ...I must be tired. Read for 3 hours. Go to bed. #WritingCommunity

Today's #WIPSnips is perfect for my WIP, considering the setting is a restaurant :) #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

The pokemon that runs this account

May have used this for #WIPSnips before. I don't remember. ...time to start making more headway on this draft 🫠 #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

#WIPSnips #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky Interested to know if anyone's heard names similar to these anywhere. I don't want to be unoriginal.

A bit longer for the sake of context. Just wanted to #point that out. #WIPSnips #writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Keeping #WIPSnips short today. If you've ever tried to leave the service industry, you'll feel the pain of this one. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

If you've ever worked in the service industry, you know... #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Vibing #WIPSnips today: Mission = Quest. This needs work, but nicely it sums up much of what Luka feels. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #AmWriting

#WIPSnips vibes today, trading "dude" for "guy." #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Didn't think I'd have today's #WIPSnips, but I have 4 instances! Helps when you're writing a kitchen #fantasy. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Of all the skills I need to improve, breaking prepositional phrase chains tops the list. There’s an in within an at with an among by a from qualified by an of inside of an outside between a during and after an into through an about and across a lake. #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Shout out to Beck's "Loser" for the inspiration behind this exchange! #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

It's tough to stay clean in the restaurant industry. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing

A classic meet-cute (though these characters aren't destined for romance). #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing

Going with vibes today, on this brand new WIP I started yesterday. Prophet ~ Seer. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Breaking the 4th wall is hella fun. #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#WIPSnips from Hernan today. Happy Monday, #WritingCommunity! #WriteSky #Writing

Finished (the third version of) my first draft today! Minus the resolution and very end of the climax, which are dependent upon revisions at this point. Feeling exhausted with this WIP. I think I'll start on the next one while this marinates for a few months. #writingcommunity #writing #writesky

A lot of cutting for this trunked WIP, but at least I had one agent bite on it and give me some genuine feedback, rather than the dreaded form rejection :) #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #amquerying #WriteSky

See if you can guess who Speckhardt (the villain) is based on >.> #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Having a #dog (tattlehound) as the MC's sidekick gave me too many options with today's #WIPSnips. She's a fun character to write, based off my own pup we had to say goodbye to 2 years ago (in my profile pic). #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #dogs

Me: Why are you wet? Daughter: *shrugging* That's what water makes us. The accidental snark of toddlers is incredible. #parenting

How do you get a 3yo to stop telling mom what presents we got her for mother's day? #parenting #dadsky #momsky

70+ instances of give for today's #WIPSnips. Gotta crack open that thesaurus :D #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Not a guess, #WIPSnips, but the earworm I get for "hello" is this Remi Wolf song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCEY... #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky

Written, detailed outline: A. B. C. D. E. The end. Actual 1st draft: A. B...D. 4? X. Bb. Dragons for some reason. E, but only for two paragraphs. The end. #writing #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting

I didn't think I'd have this #WIPSnips in my WIP because revenge isn't the focus. Surprised myself. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing

This place is definitely not as good as your local coffee shop. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writing #WriteSky #BookSky💙📚🪐

Welp. The only agent to show interest in my novel (and asked for the full manuscript) just got back with a rejection. Too meandering for her tastes. Can't say it doesn't hurt. I'll sulk for the rest of the night, then get back to it with a fire lit under my ass. #writingcommunity #amquerying

Thought I'd have more instances of this #WIPSnips with a whiskey-loving pirate MC. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #writesky #booksky💙📚🪐

Back to Hernan for today's #WIPSnips! #amquerying #WritingCommunity #BookSky💙📚🪐 #writing
