This is SUCH a brilliant example of how an evocative and gorgeously simple description can change in meaning so drastically over time-even a very short period!

What other examples can you think of? Authors, do you have any that might fall prey to this?

A simple silhouette drawing of a skyline in black and grey in the foreground, with three vertical stripes of color making up the sky in the background. The first third is black. The middle is black and white static like an old tv screen. The last third is blue. The bottom has the opening quote from William Gibson's Neuromancer. It says "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." William Gibson, Neuromancer.

A friend of ours shared this poem from tumblr. First off, I love it. But also, it resonates so hard with Anne and Ghost from our Riven Goddess series. Ghost: "If you can't find it, it's something you make" Anne: "Hope is a shield and a thing to defend."

A screenshot of a tumblr post by tenaciouswritingdragon. It's written as tags and says: I was really expecting this to turn into a poem like Hope is a weapon Hope is a skill Hope is a plant you can care for or kill Hope is a discipline Something you choose Hard to stop looking for Easy to lose Hope isn't something to have or to take If you can't find it, it's something you make Make it from willpower, make it from spite Learn how to weaponize love in a fight Hope is a shield and a thing to defend End in itself and a means to an end etc etc idk maybe one of the tags is in a familiar meter and it subconsciously activated the dormant dr seuss lobe of my brain. v good post regardless An image of two women in front of a stone cottage at dusk. There is a stone wall behind them with wildflowers growing along it, fog, and fireflies, and a warm lantern glows by the cottage door. The first woman, Anne, is tall and muscled, with bright red hair up in a loose bun, and lightly tanned, freckled skin. She's muscular, and wears chainmail and a sword at her side. She's smiling softly and holding the hand of the other woman, who is hugging her from behind. The second woman, Ghost, is shorter, and is a drow, slight of build and graceful looking, with lavender grey skin, short white hair that covers burn scars and claw marks on her face, a small silver ring in her septum, and green and black leather armor. She has a soft smile on her face and leans her head on the back of the first woman's shoulder. They look happy and content, and the feeling of the piece is quiet, soft, and hopeful.

Oof. It's been a week. Being a caregiver for a loved one with dementia is a challenge (but a worthy one). Got a little writing done, a fair bit of plotting, and worked on the map for the Riven Goddess series. Not a lot, but it's something!

These kinds of questions are *hard* for me. Just drawing from books I've read in the past few years I'd have to say... Pepper from Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series, or Dex from the Monk and Robot series by the same. ~Lydia

The first two paragraphs from Neon Spires. 💜 (it was a tough choice between this and a scene with a little more action, but I love this opening.)

From Spires: Oh man. Neither Pixx nor Artemis, for different reasons. Probably Harthon. 😅

From Riven Goddess: Anne, definitely. With poetry (some of it even good!). Ghost would wish she could, but not yet. When she could, it would be incredibly sweet and heartfelt.

Me: All of this is wearing me down. I cannot brain enough to write tonight. There is no focus, there are no words.

Also me: *spends three hours hyperfocused on adding ridiculous details to a 3d model of a character from my D&D group that no one will see in the final render.*

A head shot of a 3d model of a water genasi. She has delicate features, light green skin, gills on her neck, frilled and pointed sea elf ears with multiple earrings, eyes with green irises and black sclera, and a curly faux-hawk of hair textured to look like it's made of water. She's wearing shell pauldrons, a cape, and a dark purple top. A close up of all the trinkets on the character's belt. There's a copper crab claw with lots of blue patina, and a lobster made of dark green, gold veined marble, and a glowing green hooked wand that is sticking out of a hip pouch that hangs from her belt. She's wearing an ornate blue and gold embroidered corset and brown leather pants.

Meet Pixx, one of the MC's from Neon Spires.

She looks at the camera with a slight smirk, and eyes that glow neon pink. No AI was used to make this image.

One of the cool things about writing with Angie is listening to her tell me about her story plans and then being floored that this amazing woman with these brilliant stories in her head is my. freaking. wife. Like, holy shit. How?

Oh man, I have one for this! This is actually the chapter I'm working on right now. From Neon Spires. (Note, meta is slang for metahuman. Yeah, we've got mutants.)

A screenshot of a document. It reads: Careening through the streets on the front of some meta bounty hunter’s tricked out motorcycle, just ahead of rampaging bots that obviously wanted one or both of them dead, was not exactly the weirdest position Pixx had ever been in, but it was definitely up there. There wasn’t much for her to hold on to as she was, caged in on three sides and loomed over by Sunshine’s solid presence. All Pixx could do was brace her hands against the body of the bike, hovering in an awkward position that kept their bodies just far enough away from each other for comfort, and trust that the other woman wouldn’t let twenty-five thousand creds slide off and splatter on the pavement after all this trouble.

One more! This one from The Riven Goddess series that Angie is working on.

#writesky #writingcommunity #sapphfic #indieauthor #sapphicfantasy
A screenshot of a document. It reads: “Yeah, I know.” Anne pulled her cloak about her more tightly, chain shirt jingling as she shifted her sword out of the way with a practiced ease. Though it was still early fall, the winds coming off the Song sea were already whispering of the coming winter’s chill. Further north in Fjalhold, where she was from, the skies would have already settled into the steely gray of winter, and the leaves would be well into the yearly journey from their verdant tones to the fire colored hues they were known for. Here though, in Mindalon, there was at least still a hint of gold to the sun, though today it provided no appreciable warmth. Despite the chill in the air, the city around them was no less busy than ever, and while Anne had been to Mindalon several times since she’d begun to travel with the company, this was the first time she’d been here this late in the season.

Coming in a little late with an excerpt from Neon Spires. Oh, hey, you guys get to see this bit even before our alphas. 😅

#writesky #indieauthor #sapphfic #cyberpunk #writingcommunity
A screenshot of a document. It reads: The run-down apartments and storefronts began to give way to vacant lots and partially demolished high rises. Skeletons of old buildings, torn down to bare steel and concrete, stood stark against the darkening sky, decaying scaffolding still clinging here and there to their empty corpses. The few people out on these streets mirrored the broken-down architecture around them. Gaunt and haggard, they kept their heads down as the bike blew past, minding their own business.

The world overwhelming, I decided on some self-care tonight. Big mug of tea in a mug from Angie, homemade chocolate chip cookies, and diving in to write some cyberpunk. *cracks knuckles* Let's go.

Two ridiculously tasty chocolate chip cookies sit in front of a monitor next to a giant mug of tea. The mug is blue and has a crescent moon and stars and says "Love you to the moon and back." The monitor has the end of a chapter from Neon Spires on it. It reads: Right. Like she was ever that lucky. Her eyes flicked from the other woman to the lot, then back up to meet those intense green eyes. Sunshine seemed to hear the sound almost at the same time Pixx did. Like a wary predator, her body tensed with a coiled up energy. Her eyes narrowed and her lip pulled back from her teeth in a little snarl, exposing upper and lower canines that were just a little too sharp and a little too long to be strictly human. Then, suddenly, the whole world exploded into gunfire.
