Book two is going into structural editing, so while I wait I figured I’d set up the prologue for book three and reorient myself towards the story’s “North Star.” Also, I’m getting over a nasty cold, so there was no better time to record some audio. #booksky #iwritefiction 📚💙 #wipsnips

"Afraid?" The word fell like a landslide into the space between them. "What could I possibly fear from a creature whose entire blood line is but a flicker in my awareness?" #wipsnips
It's the first day of 👻spooky🎃 week on #WIPSnips!

As always, synonyms, variations and ✨vibes✨ are fine. Given that it's spooky week, don't forget an trigger/content warnings if your post needs them.

She felt the words settle onto her like a crown lowered onto her head in the dark, and it frightened her.
«Lead, Nia.»
She awoke with a gasp.

No one prepared me for this when I began this journey, but if you want to be a storyteller, know that when it’s time to draw the curtain on one of your characters, a little piece of you dies with them.

83,275 words; not one of them is ‘dungeon.’ Time to change that. “Without hesitation, Kul’sheda stepped forward into the dilapidated dungeon of Hūna’s flesh, fusing with her in a flash of light. Power shot through her limbs, blistering and bright. Around her heart, the Wyrm Mother’s fury…” #WIPSnips

The first vibration came like a whisper—a murmur that echoed through the foul spire, too soft to wake her. It grew stronger, sharper, pulsing through the mire with an unnatural discord until it jolted Hūna’s essence, stirring her from the viscous depths of her six-hundred-year slumber. #WIPSnips 📚💙
