DRAGON'S FLAME (a #GhostPit guide)

what happens when the person who killed your parents turns out to be your long-lost best friend?

- childhood friends to enemies to lovers
- stolen memories/brainwashing
- dragon (yes, singular)
- "i think i know you." / "you used to."

left hand side: text reading With the help of her new dragon companion, eighteen-year-old Shafira hunts down the legendary assassin who murdered her parents in front of her. But things become complicated when she discovers the assassin in question is the best friend she was forcibly separated from five years previous...and that she may not be working of her own free will. right hand side: a picture of a grassy hill in front of a fog covered mountain overlaid with texting reading Elevator Pitch left hand side: covers for Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole over text of a bullet pointed list. the list reads: childhood friends to enemies to lovers, found family, stolen memories/elements of brainwashing, war is hell and everyone loses, i think-i think i know you, you used to, grumpy old man in the form of a dragon, nobody is processing their trauma and everyone needs therapy right hand side: an image of a night sky with stars and clouds overlaid with text that reads Tropes and Comps left hand side: text reading excerpt above text reading: A chill that has nothing to do with the cold wind coming off of the Hungry Deep washes over me, settling into the marrow of my bones, as I realize what I am seeing: Mairi is the Flameheart, the assassin that was more human than myth. Which mean that Mairi killed my parents. right hand side: an image of what is presumably a female body clad in black fantasy-esque armor that covers everything, including the face. the figure is holding a sword in each hand and has a third strapped to their back

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall unfortunately due to my living situation currently (9 people in 4 bedrooms so i’m oh so lucky enough to get the couch) there’s no way for me to have a dedicated writing space. the best i can do is close myself in a room where kids can’t distract me 😂😅

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall Having a designated writing space can help you get into the right mindset for writing. Where are you writing this First Draft Fall?

Danbi and her two best friends, Chloe and Mundy, discuss their options when they find a glowing tree ✨🌲✨

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying
📚💙
“Different idea,” Chloe says dreamily. “We should touch it.” Mundy squeezes his eyes shut. “Seriously, Leva? Why?” “There’s a gigantic, magic, glowing tree here.” Chloe looks at him like he has three heads. “What else is there to do?” “Magic, Chlo? Really? Son of a biscuit, did you take something? Wait. Did you put something in the food?!” “Are you seriously asking me if I drugged you right now? Of course not, Robert!” She gestures to the tree. “If this isn’t magic, what is it?” “Some kind of…maybe like a…” Mundy’s face contorts. “You know what, this is something for one brave dude in a hazmat suit to figure out.” “Orrrr it’s for us,” Chloe counters. “My parents are just pretentious enough to have made me read The Iliad and The Odyssey every year since I was thirteen, so I recognize a call to adventure when I see one. Listen to your instincts for once! Are they really telling you that this radiant meteor lantern tree is going to hurt you?” “Do you feel that?” It comes out in a whisper, and they turn to me, staring at the tree. Chloe angles her head inquisitively, and Mundy’s eyes plead with me for support. “It’s like…” I close my eyes. “Like stepping into the sun after spending all day inside. Like something inevitable.” Mundy lets out a groan, but Chloe shuts her eyes. She inhales deeply. She opens them slowly, and nods. “I feel it.” Mundy’s arms fly up. “You’ve both lost it! What’s gotten into you, D? You’re supposed to help be the voice of reason. This dynamic doesn’t work with two reckless nutjobs.” Chloe curtsies before flipping him off.

#WIPSnips tfw you don’t appreciate or understand your mom until after her death oh and also the dragon you’ve hated your entire life becomes inextricably linked to your soul✌🏻
Though we have only been in each other's minds for a few days, the loss of Vorvuth's consciousness alongside mine feels as if some vital part of me, a lung or a limb, perhaps, is missing. I had always judged Mother for her unwillingness to part from him, thinking it an overreaction or an excuse to not spend more time with her human family, but I understand now. This pain is unbearable and I curl in on myself, thankful that my bindings have been removed, as I try to hold my body together while it in turn tries to collapse in on itself.

Share some ANTI-comps (things that are totally OPPOSITE from your WIP)!

You could also try reframing your WIP as a totally different genre. What would it look like if your romance was now horror?

#WIPSnips running is actually sort of a…running theme throughout the story for my MC shafira
Her hand is sun-warmed when she places it on my cheek, hot enough to burn the spot where our skin makes contact. I flinch away and Mother frowns, hurt flashing in her eyes. "You can't run from this forever, Shafira." Her voice is cold, dropping the loving mother act she had tried to put on not even a minute before. "Refusal is not running," I remind her. This is my standard line in this argument, the expected line in a play neither of us agreed to be in. "If I wanted to run, I would have done it a long time ago."

one of the last things i wrote before i got sick #MelsNoWriMo
The hands holding me are firm on my body, but thin-boned and delicate. They cradle me to their chest and I'm sure it's to make sure they have a good grip on me, but it feels protective. Only one person on this ship would hold me like this. Mairi. I don't dare peek at her because I don't know if I'll find Mairi or the Flameheart staring back at me, but the tenderness in her touch gives me hope. Hope that, even if she is under the Archmarshal's influence, my best friend—my Mairi—is still in in there somewhere. That she isn't completely lost to me just yet.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:
Chuck, portrayed by Paul Scheer, a member of the Good Place Committee: "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."
