Like a kettle whistling with hot water, people can similarly "explode". But we explode with emotion, a simmering anger beneath the surface chomping at the bit for the perfect moment to be let out. And sometimes all it takes is a single word. #WIPSnips

This excerpt is not so magical in the traditional sense (sorry, fantasy folks). But it delves into when something you used to enjoy stops feeling special and loses its 'magic'. #WIPSnips

Been working on a painting for a local art show. But I finally finished! And just in time for a beta reader to reach out with feedback. There's always more work to do, and I couldn't be happier!

Here's the painting I made for #PosterPit !
It took some time to decide how I wanted werewolves in 'The Mark of Fear' to look. I'm happy with the results! Now it can be concept/character art!

Am I late for #PosterPit ? Yes.
Do I have an EXCELLENT reason why? Yup!
Because I hand-painted my poster art! And only just got it done!

'When the line between human and monster is obscured, Trent must confront two terrifying questions: How human is he? How human is anyone?'

I love feelings of false nostalgia. Even if they aren't real memories of a bygone moment in time, they bring an uncanny warmness to you. #WIPSnips

It's fun to explore a character's senses and how they relate to/affect their environment. They really do bring life to a scene. #WIPSnips

Goodbyes should feel happy, but often they turn into something sad and strained. It's especially so when a character has no other choice than to say 'goodbye'. #WIPSnips

A very intense and gory scene...
It borders on spoiler territory, but I just couldn't help sharing it with everyone! #WIPSnips

I've had these same feelings, wandering through the night and seeing that one 24 hour diner giving me a place to go for a little while. #WIPSnips

The most inviting and comforting scenes we can imagine are sometimes nothing more than that: imagination. If only we could will them into existence. #WIPSnips

I could not find "official" in my manuscript! But "office" is kind of close...? Haha! #WIPSnips

I'm #RevPitWaiting by doing some #RevPitPainting !
It's been fun to learn how everyone spends their time between those precious editor updates!

Here's a little 4"×4" acrylic painting of a rose in Chiaroscuro.

'The Mark of Fear' has some... very direct themes.
The MTG fans will be here for it!

I'm here for this cheekiest of #WIPSnips !
Trent's not willing to trust anything his eyes show him. Real or not, he's convinced his grip on reality is slipping from his grasp. Still, he can't help but wonder...

A frightening moment for Trent, where it feels like anything could happen! This was the only instance of 'appreciate' I could find for today's #WIPSnips !

I really had plenty of choices with today's #WIPSnips !
'The Mark of Fear' really focuses on loneliness, isolation, and its effects quite a lot. So, I've used the word and its synonyms a fair bit!

Just made it in time for #WIPSnips !
And something more sensual for a word like 'Touch'.
