We sometimes say this to our kids when they’re being particularly frustrating.

A #WIPSnips from book 2 of ✨The Annora Project✨ #writingcommunity #writesky

Nora’s first day of training. She’s still pissed at Fynn for lying to her, but he’s just over the moon that she’s there, with him.

Fynn’s POV—
It’s all I can do to stay rooted in place when she goes to the ground, even though I know Jackie won’t seriously hurt her. I take one step in her direction, but the firm shake of her head is enough to freeze me mid-step. She’s stronger than I give her credit for, but the need to protect her might be stronger. My side aches like a son of a gun, the bruise already forming from Liam’s strike. She’s a distraction. When she’s in the room, I can’t focus, my eyes constantly searching for her. I’m sure Cael will give me crap for it later. It’s been awhile since someone got a decent hit on me. I don’t intervene, but stay close, keeping an eye on her as Jackie shows her how to stand, how to use her core for more power. Jealousy and want burns through me. It should be my hands on her. And it’s my own damn fault that it’s not. Sweat drips from the wisps of hair that escape her braid—her shirt soaked through. It’s tempting to tease her since I know how much she hates cardio. I’m not sure what Jackie says to her as she wipes the moisture from her brow, but she smiles one of those rare Nora smiles, and it hits me like a punch to the chest. Suddenly her eyes meet mine, the smile softening a bit. Her cheeks are red from exertion, almost the color of her fiery hair. She stares at the ground when I make my way toward her—unable to stay away any longer. “My turn.”

Probably… 😅 It was wonderfully, tearfully written. Great snippet! It only makes things sweeter in the end (hopefully 🤣)

A #WIPSnips from A Recipe for Romance 💘 #writingcommunity #writesky “burger”

There are a lot of burgers in this WIP thanks to Will’s favorite small-town bar.

Maggie’s jealous when a substitute teacher hits on Will in front of her. He finds it adorable. (They’d both deny it)
Picking at an imaginary fuzz on her blouse, she shrugged. “Well, I should probably get going soon since you have a lunch date.” “I might…haven’t asked her yet.” He avoided her gaze, reorganizing a few papers that were perfectly fine as they were. “Well, you should probably get on that. It’s almost lunch. What if she needs time to change?” Maggie slowly grabbed her purse, which was slung over a spare chair. “You’re probably right.” Will paused for dramatic effect, fingers drumming against his thigh. He shifted his weight, caught off guard by the sudden flutter of nerves. She would probably laugh in his face, but he found himself actually enjoying her company and not wanting it to end. “Well, Boss, wanna go get some lunch? Or do you need to change?” Maggie paused mid-step, eyes wide. Gesturing toward herself, she mouthed, “Me?” “Do you see another bossy woman in here?” He smirked at the glare he was getting accustomed to—maybe enjoying. “Although I’m a bit afraid to take you anywhere. You do eat regular food too, right? Your palate is probably too fancy for anything around here.” “Just because my taste buds are more sophisticated than yours, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good burger.” She folded her arms across her chest. “Is that a yes then?” He stood, mimicking her posture, knowing she wouldn’t be able to resist a challenge. Her shrug said it all—challenge accepted.

A #WIPSnips from ✨The Annora Project ✨ #writesky #writingcommunity “local”

Fynn’s mission: to infiltrate Driscoll Engineering and stop the system peacefully

Zane’s mission: to stop Driscoll by any means necessary

The complication: Annora Driscoll
I slam down a copy of the local newspaper, front cover adorned by Driscoll and his big tech announcement. I know it’s a familiar image to Fynn. I don’t even think he takes the time to look at it under those sunglasses. “I mean come on, man, don’t you think it’s a little convenient that every time a big development happens in the lab, he sends you to Annora in his place, effectively getting you out of the building. That he never gives you anything valuable to work on. You’ve had your shot, man, and you blew it. And for what? Did you think you could be with her? That you could bring her with you? I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying hanging out with her, but I’m more practical than that. We’ve tried it your way, and now we’re going to do this my way.”
