#WIPSnips - More from Sinner Academy (my academic, battle-royale, dystopian novel. In Eden, once you're over 18, the government can kill you for breaking the law. If the criminal is between 18 and 25 did well in school? Then they're sent to Sinner Academy, where they MIGHT survive.) #writesky

#WIPSnips - Excerpt from Sinner Academy (Dystopian Fiction in a college setting, Hunger Games x Fourth Wing)

I didn't have "explode" so I hope a guy getting shot in the head for not eating mystery powder when ordered to by a glorified cop is a close enough ✨vibe✨(I wrote it tonight) #indieauthor

Because I live with 2 of the little guys and they are definitely not humble or meek 🤣 (they like to think they are the bosses and will YELL if you're even a minute late for their dinner haha)

#WIPSnips is from Academy For Sinners - A New Adult, dystopian survival novel set in a university where each student is a criminal of the state. Only 70 of the 278 first years will make it to the second. There WERE 280, but being frozen isn't for everyone (think Hunger Games x Fourth Wing)

Thanks - It was originally going to be a mouse as they can also represent humility, but are seen as "pests" by some people (Pride are seen as cowards, because they "didn't want to face justice") ... but then I considered how fast those little dudes can scamper and thought it was too on the nose.

#WIPSnips - Academy For Sinners. Once you're 18 in Eden, the government can kill you if you break the law. Unless you're smart.

Houses at Sinner Academy are chosen based on your crime. Except for Pride. You're put there if you think so highly of yourself that you could outrun The Headship.

Well, there ARE all those thinkpieces going around talking about how men aren't reading as much - it'll get dads into bookshops - 2 birds with 1 stone 😂

YES I know at least 2 dads I need to gift this to when it publishes! 🎁

She took time to check in on me, make sure I knew I was doing a good job, and continued to cuss out the woman to me 🤣

Bonus: Right after, a man that looked like Santa helped me put back the high chair when I was struggling with the pram.

It was a good day.

I get literally stopped in the street to get told my baby is cute, so even if she meant ugly, pfffft let her be wrong.

Didn't matter, the cleaner had my BACK. She immediately called the woman a b-tch, apologised to me, and was simply not having a bar of it. (3/?)

Now the cleaner always stops to tell me how great I'm doing and how cute my baby is.

Baby was eating sushi, so she had rice all over her face. Two woman walked past and said "ugly baby" - I think maybe they meant messy? I wasn't bothered. (2/?)
