Still mostly going to pull from my soul project but if the word isn't there, I'm going to start pulling from my next project.

Excerpt from You Live Here Now “Hey honey how’s it going?” he asks. He’s in a much better mood than I’m in. I can’t bring myself to tell him how awful it is here. Especially since I’m still not sure what just happened. “Made some decent progress today, but I’m still counting down the days until you get here.” “Me too,” he signs. Hearing him helps calm me down a little.

Tallboys comes from a village of woodcutters, carpenters, and botanists. Gossamer, in Volkran county, was deep in Everold forest. Everyone knew the land by heart and respected the nature that surrounded them.

One month ago, the corruption crept in. Now, Gossamer is gone.
#WIPSnips #SaintessByKiwa
As the saintess increased her martial training—which included archery, swordsmanship, and horseback riding—she learned to effectively infuse her strikes with holy power. It wasn't the outcome the Holy Ministry wanted, but they would take what they could get. A saintess that could fight, even if it was with blades and bows, was worth more than one who could not. Vicar Reinhold praised Lord Frederick for being able to bring out the best in the saintess, but he refused to take any of the credit. Despite them spending more time together, the relationship between the lieutenant and the saintess grew strained. He was even more aloof than usual with her, would run out as soon as their training sessions ended, and avoided eye contact. This was increasingly distressful for Aurelia, who felt like she had done nothing wrong, but thought she must have done something for him to act that way. Even so, she couldn't bring herself to ask. They would have been stuck in that awkward stage if it weren't for the intrusion of a rear company soldier one day. "Tallboys, stop!" an officer called out, trying uselessly to stop a young man from entering the training yard. "Saintess!" Tallboys shouted. "Saintess, when are you going to do something?" Aurelia turned to the young man, visibly confused. "Huh?" "Aren't you supposed to save us? When are you going to do something?" Tallboys cried, tears running down his face.

Progress was slow. The snow the blizzard had dropped was light now, but would compact over the course of the day, which would be short this time of year. Six-foot deep drifts rose along the way. Dýrhildr let out a heavy breath that the wind carried away. Maybe she wasn’t making it home this winter, unless she found a boat heading up the coast she could hitch a ride on. That was likely to be a long wait.

A Demon’s Bargain where all the options are bad: fight with soul-destroying magic or lose her family, her beloved, and her life.

Kahyla negotiated for protection by Royal Blues, but kept it secret from her beloved.
Despard grabbed her arm as she crossed to open the door. “Who the hell is Master Vayhne? Dammit, Kahyla, talk to me! I can understand hiding things from Vetal but don’t shut me out.” “Please, I can’t—” She pulled away. “Later, I promise.” Vetal had relaxed his stance. “I don’t think she trusts either of us, Despard, but I don’t think Master Vayhne would want to kill her.” Kahyla had already opened the door and progressed quickly through formal greetings, accepting a perfect plum from the fiftyish man in a blue tunic and trousers. Behind Vayhne stood two Blues. One, a blond in his thirties, took note of the armed men in the room. The other, a fresh-faced brown-haired soldier in his twenties, watched the alley. As Kahyla gestured for them to enter, Despard stepped close behind her. He brushed against her Tamrin red skirts, still tucked at her hip. “Is it later yet?” Kahyla took a long breath but didn’t move away. “Master Vayhne, my bodyguard, Master Despard of Bivmiav.” Master Vayhne swept his eyes across the room, taking in Vetal and the other Tamrins peeking out of the back room. “Good day to you, Master Despard,” said Vayhne. “You’ve done an excellent job so far of protecting Gentlemistress Kahyla.” Vayhne stepped into the room and nodded to the younger Blue. “Corporal Niklos will be in charge of her security now.” Kahyla tried to step back, but bumped into Despard.

#WIPSnips November 15 - progress
Monsoon is coming, you better be prepared.
#AmWriting #AmWritingFantasy #AmWritingScifi #WriteSky
Text that says: Monsoon was coming. Hope paused to admire the artistic flair of the writhing and spiraling grey clouds displacing the orange-haze overhead. She should draw that someday, maybe with a panicking person, their hands on their face, screaming. This monsoon was on time, if you considered the average arrival day to be on time. This will be Baby's and her first monsoon in the cave lair. The experience will be a change and maybe a challenge, but she had a plan. The typical everyone running around in a panic preparing for monsoon slowed her progress as she maneuvered through the chaos to get out of the city. In the farm fields, workers scurried between the sluice gates setting them to handle the monsoon runoff. When she came to the forest, she saw something new: the animals were also doing everyone run around in a panic making their own preparations for monsoon. The indigenous animals being attuned to monsoon cycles had never occurred to her. — The Dragon Universe Hope (working title, work-in-progress)

You're an exceptional student, Mr. Bramwell.” “Thank you.” He managed not to make it sound like a question, but only just. Somehow he’d lost the thread of this conversation and was now blushing, despite himself. She was still standing quite close. “I’ve been following your progress.” She lifted her long hair and moved it to one side of her head, causing another wave of spicy sweetness to bloom around them.“You are the strongest young ovate I’ve seen in years.” “Oh, well—” “There's no point in denying it," she interrupted. "I'm well aware of the skills of my students.” Finally she took a step back, though it was only to look Dylan up and down. “You are different.”

#WIPSnips word for November 15th is "progress"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Nin and Darach are at the base of Mulhcráeb, ready to climb up the small mountain to find the hoard of gold at the top, about a 2,000 ft climb in elevation.
Oak tree silhouetted against a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "progress" Darach sat up and looked at the sky, noticing it swathed with vibrant red. “Red skies as morning, shepherds take warning. We should pack and go soon; there is a storm on the way.” His tone was serious, and he hurried in packing. Nin cooked what may be their last hot meal for days depending on the size of the storm. This was the time of year when storms would be start up again. They had been blessed with mostly good weather, but as the year progressed from Summer towards Autumn, the rains returned. She hoped the barley was ripe enough to harvest back in the fields as harvesting wet barley was more likely to lead to rot over the winter months.

Undertaker’s earpiece made a faint chirp. “Intruder alert!” a security agent shouted. “There’s been an explosion! All available personnel to the main gate now!” “Requesting back up!” another agent desperately barked. “We’ve engaged the intruder, but he has already killed five men! I repeat! Requesting— AHHHHHH!” The agent screamed in agony, as his voice was silenced with the loud hiss of radio static. “What are you idiots doing!?” Undertaker spat. “Kill the intruder now! I don’t care what it takes! Just do it!” One by one, Undertaker heard the voices of his men as they were silenced by their attacker, their screams growing bloodier as the chaos spiraled out of control. BOOM! Another explosion went off, rattling the estate, shutting down the power as the sound echoed into the distance. Undertaker’s earpiece remained ominously silent. “Give me a status report! Now!” Undertaker barked. There was no response. “Status report!” he barked once more. There was no answer. Undertaker clenched his jaw, and sweat was now slowly beating down the back of his neck. He could hear the sounds of screams outside that were muffled by the walls, progressively growing quieter the longer the situation played out.

“What the hell, Adler?” she shrieks. “I thought we were making progress here!” “Progress?” I scoff. “Just because I didn’t want to go out after losing a game doesn’t mean I give a shit about you or your stupid rules.” I’m lashing out because I’m angry, but I don’t care. I want to hurt someone. She happens to be the closest person, and that’s her own fault.

There was a time when he thought he might get used to it. The sinking sensation in the bottom of his guts, like falling with no hope of ever hitting the ground. The strange press of air around him, as if it had gone gelatinous. The gray fog encroaching on his vision from the periphery in. The smothering sense of doom. He’d come to think of it as a death in miniature. The final one, when it happened, would probably progress in exactly the same way, only it would not be in miniature.

I feel like I may have shared this or an adjacent snip recently? If so, sorry for the repeat!

From #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.
I was lost in the dark halls for two days. Not that I could really keep track of time while I was in there. After only a few hours, I’d already become convinced that I’d been in there for weeks. By the second day I was sure that my entire life in the lighted halls had been some kind of wonderful dream, and in reality I had been wandering in this darkness, followed by unseen monsters, for all eternity. By the second day the flashlight had grown so dim it didn’t help me see much, though I didn’t dare turn it off. I’d run out of chalk hours ago. It had been almost a relief, to finally stop marking my progress. At least I could stop fooling myself that it was doing me any good. The only thing worse than the darkness was the silence. I never realized how much I would miss the constant background noise of the communication boxes until it was gone. There were some communication boxes in the dark halls. I saw them mounted on walls here and there, but they were all strangely warped, as if they’d been half-melted. A few still managed to trickle out some soft, garbled sounds, but their voices were small and broken. And even those were few and far between; the rest were dead silent, as dead as the cold lightbulbs that hung from the ceiling.

Writing snippet: “We're not goin’ fast enough,” he muttered. “Need to find a trail.” He moved closer to the edge, and a couple pebbles came loose, rattling down the slope. Lennie reached out reflexively and pulled him back. He frowned at the tight grip she held on his shirt. Then his eyes slid up to the flush in her cheeks, and a slow grin unfurled. “What, you think I ain't sure-footed?” “I think you're a lot of things,” she said. He quirked a brow and she cleared her throat, releasing her clenched fist. “But I like ‘alive’ and ‘in one piece’ best.”

Out of context, this looks like a very different book than what it really is.

Context: these two are playing a board game LMFAO. Their 'soldiers' are wooden figures
Shanks shook his head. “By the time we get mercenaries, Garlic will have enough resources for his own mercenaries, and Grilled’s personal army will arrive on the wood to defend. We’ll be outnumbered and outmatched.” “You want to attack now?” Turnip seemed appalled at the notion. Her tails perked up in shock. “But if we lose, we’ll be vulnerable.” “Even if we lose, we’ll damage Grilled’s army enough that he won’t attack us until we’re ready.” Turnip bit the bottom of her lip. “But we’ll have to rebuild ours, too. How would either of us make any progress?” “We’re already producing more soldiers per turn,” Shanks replied. “Our army will grow faster than his unless he devotes resources to increasing his manpower—but that will take a few turns, and in that time, we’ll get ahead.” Shanks from the Good Thyme Inn books, a pink Kraken/squid man, standing behind a bar cleaning glasses. He has tentacles emerging around his mouth and from his back. He has sweet, innocent green eyes.
