#WIPSnips, #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts "Money" I almost never use the word in the Navvyverse... Polla calls it currency or sling. But it slips in as a colloquialism from time to time.

#snippetshare wotd "return"

#Snippetshare Since haven't been on here much in a while I didn't use the random word generator, but simply chose the word "return" Quote or reply to share any snippet featuring the word "return" I may be slow to reading everything, & will likely only be posting these twice a week.

In this scene, the crew narrowly escape after stealing an important document. A bit long, but I felt the context mattered!😅 From a light-hearted satire novella about the adventures of a girl, a small robot, and the heist crew they call family. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky 💙📚

I got a bunch of new comments on my fanfics recently. It always has new reads and kudos, but since I finished writing it, the comments have slowed a lot. It has done wonders for my self-esteem! Remember to tell creators when you like something they've done. It matters more than you know.

Tillis took that cowardly step after he encouraged Hegseth's former in-law to take the risk of going on the record with a statement he assured her would have weight.

In my fanfiction version of a Republic where fake news was used to manipulate popular opinion and through it politics (which I wrote in 2004 ish), the fake news was really not this stupid. Jingoistic and sentimental? Sure. But not this stupid. I wish life would stop being dumber than fiction.

I haven't finished this one, but I love what I read. Ex cop on the run, snarky ship AI, all the good tropes.

Well-deserved!! Bisection is an amazing, and innovative book ) the kind of thing indie sci-fi is supposed to be )

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00 covidtests.gov

Got this one! Without having to grind it in to a story! Yay! 🎉😅 From “The Last Duty”. #WiPSnips

Oh those last lines )chef's kiss!

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts (Profanity) 📚🪐💙 Word SENSE Included entire scene because I like it.

I am a loud blue dot in a red city in a red state. I have had my career and my life threatened but I still remain loud and resistant. I am still alive and my career is thriving. Please don’t be afraid to speak up. I’m living proof that you will be ok.

There's two kinds of drafting. There's the kind where a narrative voice jumps in your head and nearly every word is telling a compelling, coherent story you want to tell... And then there's the kind that's more like taking notes, where you are trying to figure out backstory, motivation, and voice.

Finishing this one up today. Had my eye on it for a while.

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

Also they didn't bother to count so they have no idea.

one of the stupidest things i have had the misfortune of reading today and i am sharing it with you.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity Best I could do for word "candy" is "confectioner" 3,000 years in the future all sorts of texts have been repurposed to mean all sorts of things... This is, (I think?) a fairly obvious reference.

#WIPSnips 17. "Candy" They ate the shrimp pies, rice and cabbage dumplings, and spring rolls stuffed with carrots, turnip, and other vegetables that Tanya had been so kind to remember packing. At the bottom of the parcel, Mileena also found chocolate candies—her favourite! #WriteSky #QueerWriters

#WIPSnips #writngprompts "glimmer" Still rough, this section.

Today's word is glimmer. I am really enjoying going through my WIP to find these, especially since this draft is almost complete. #darkfantasy #gothic ##AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity 💙📚 📚🩸 📚🪐

A bit of my WIP, "A Handful of Dust," a post-apocalyptic short story with a twist. #SciFi-Fantasy-SpecFic 🪐📚 #SFF #WritingCommunity #SFFWriting/Writers 🔱

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.
