Girl bosses in the brothel dripping snark. #WIPSnips #random #amquerying
black text on a green background reads: “One of the girls said she saw Gwinne come in with a random. I guessed it must’ve been you. Right again,” smirked Brid. “Oh, hey,” was all Romi could manage. “What are you doing in the Mistress’ quarters? Playing dress up?” asked Brid, looking her over. “No, I--” Romi fumbled, saved by the creak of an opening door. “Brid. You find time to socialize while you are furthest behind quota?” Gwinne stood tall, hair wet from having also attempted to wash the previous night off her. “Old hag,” Brid muttered under her breath. She pushed past Romi, rolling her eyes for good measure, as she left the two alone in the hallway. Romi turned to thank Gwinne, for giving her the space to clean up, and to say goodbye now that the opportunity presented itself, but Gwinne spoke first. “Why are you dressed like Baba Yaga? Come. You cannot leave through the front door. And I have some soup on. You must be hungry.”

A newly added sentence... Critique welcome. I fear it's all a bit clunky...

Romi internalizes the work of prostitution after masquerading as a working woman the night prior

black text on green background with the keyword "apparitions" highlighted. It reads: The tunnel narrowed as she imagined a line of escaping soliciting women navigating their new world profiting from the advantage of their bodies rather than having them stripped away. Romi swallowed her gratitude, unsure of how to thank the apparitions of these women for providing her the luxury of denying working as they did. Had they not organized in collective defiance, she was certain she’d not have enjoyed her life of sexual abstinence, how pervasive the desires of others encroached her everyday life.

I’d like to say instead of screaming into the void I’ve been productive, but at least my garden has been

At first I was weirded out by wisdom teeth removal on a Saturday. But now it’s been raining, I got to watch FOBBV eagles think about flying, curl up with a good book, and now the dodgers are on and on fire? My schedule is clear. No complaints in my recovery journey 🤞🏽#grateful

A couple of study upgrades today. Put the blinds up all by my onesie. 🤓 But no idea how to hang my cork board (or where now that I’ve moved things around) #wip

Early in my watercolor journey but here’s a little paper anniversary present of the cigar bar where we had our first impromptu date. But all these posts have me inspired to paint something in my novel’s universe #RevPitWaiting

Snapped this one yesterday when the weather was nicer. Charlie the parrot invited themselves to my outlining sesh in a rare display of coexistence with a Pippa. (Harry makes the best writing companion but don’t tell them I told you.) Housesitting for family right now so my life is currently a zoo

I think my crows are using me. They seem to only visit when the kids aren’t in school… #peanutsorgushers

Girl, please. Nice play, Elon. Suspend my account so I can’t deactivate it.

Early this morning the hubby *really* wanted a Black Friday sale and left. Couldn’t be me, but whatever. Our DOG is AGHAST that he would leave her without morning treats. I tried to explain to her: I don’t negotiate with terrorists. But I think this is a policy that is being revisited.
