From right in Chapter 1 of my romance, “At Your Pace” 🌍💙
“Globalization,” she says. “As our world gets more interconnected with faster and more affordable technology and increased immigration, trade, and work taken offshore, we’re likely to be working with people across the world more frequently.” Damn, and she’s smart, too.

#WIPSnips 23: global

Vibes. Look, #TimeTravel is just *insanely* dangerous.

A lot of time on that walk was spent thinking about what the wolves had done… and exactly how much I had helped. Marilyn had said I helped her–that joking question about going back in time myself. I decided to ignore for the moment the possibility that I was partly responsible for the obliteration of all world cultures, etc. etc. Or at least when I stopped thinking about it, I stopped wanting to throw up.

No Global, scale it out and I have "galactic". It is a gift...a gift to Toren from Elara. Kinda rough as first draft, but you get the gist.

The smell of smoky herbs filled the moon lodge. Windows shaped like the phases of the moon circled the round, earthen ceiling. Small alcoves built into the walls held candles in front of crystalline surfaces, reflecting geometric light and splintering off apparitions of shadow. Altars full of feathers, stones, glass, roots, colorful fabrics, and flowers sat in the four directions. A tile mandala on the floor depicted the known levels of awareness. The People’s world of daily life was represented in the center around the central wood stove, surrounded by known terrain and creatures. The outer rings consisted of pictures representing the past, the underworld and shadow realms, outer space, and layers of the spirit realm.

From the vault! I got 40% done rewriting "At Your Pace" to be dual POV to make it more marketable before I said nope, male POV all the way, but I had a lot of fun writing a "girls getting ready together" scene for the first time Valeria and Emerson go to a party together. Bonus chapter, I guess.
Alyssa parked me in my desk chair. “Where’s your hair stuff?” “In the basket on top of the bookshelf.” She found the right one and came back over, then started twisting some strands of my hair into a half up, half down hairdo. “Have you texted him or anything to meet up tonight?” Alyssa asked. “No,” I admitted. “I don’t want to seem clingy.” “Don’t be afraid to be a little flirty. I mean, men aren’t mind readers,” Alyssa said. “We’ll see. If the vibe is good.” If he shows up, I thought. Alyssa worked some more magic pinning my thick waves back, then picked out a little faux pearl and crystal hairpin that I impulse purchased and hadn’t yet found an occasion to wear. Alyssa stood back, had me stand up, and motioned her hand for me to twirl. I felt a little silly because I wasn’t even wearing a dress, but I played along.

“Lord Shelwon, please," Cerel implored. “You must've shared in the power that raised those beautiful, mighty CRYSTALs. You can tell them. Tell them it wasn't evil that stopped the Corruption.” Siege of the Spirit

#WIPSnips 22: crystal

Jim can't explain how the RFID chips in his wallet work. But the engineers in the alternate timeline are quite competent.

Saloro spoke, slowly. “Those ‘[chips]’… I think I understand how they were made.” A snort. “Not all of it. But they are built with many microscopic layers of silicon, with various impurities. In extremely small, precise concentrations.” A flick of her hand, a tiny spark. “I believe they start with a completely pure crystal. They build on it, layer by layer. With chemical baths… and patterns of light.” She got technical, but the others seemed to follow.

Unexpectedly have one for this, though it might get cut later 😄 Elara still exploring Thalassa. Not following orders.

“Tell me why you want me in Engineering so urgently.” There was a pause before The Rec answered. “Logic and protocol demands it.” “That’s not all of it.” “It is.” “I’m going to deck two.” She turned left and started the slow plod across the deck. “I must insist that you continue to Engineering and restart the ship.” She smiled to herself without stopping and⁰ continued down the corridor. “I’ve started walking now. Sucks when you lose control of the situation huh?” “I’m afraid that this is not a moment for levity, Captain. I will be unable to continue providing assistance if you insist on not following protocol.” She continued on, passing the exposed pipe work that lined the corridor, here and there she noticed crystalised water droplets on the pipes. “You are starting to sound a little frayed there, Rec. I can continue on my own if you’re gonna keep being a bitch about it.” “Captain, I must insist that you stop treating me as an adversary. My only concern is maximising the potential preservation of life.”
