#WIPSnips Sept 24: "leave"
From my godkilling short-story-turning-novel, "Blessed Be": Amity leaves home.

I gave him a small, regretful smile and took a deep breath of the Verne's earthy-sweet air, filled again with the thick scent of wet loam and blooming grapes. Despite my bluster, this was the only home I'd ever known, and it was true that I might never see this place again. There was a part of me that didn't want to go, and his puppy-eyed appeal wasn't helping. More importantly, I could feel the pull of the Root on my feet, selfish and sprawling through the ground. My ankles felt numb, their nerves frozen. Vedjra was waking up to my intentions, and she did not like for us to go too far away from her. I had to leave, now. The Goddess wouldn't forgive me for going, but only if I managed to get away first. I wasn't willing to let her change my mind.

#WIPSnips Sept 4: "coffee"

For how much coffee I drink, it's rarely actually in my fiction? But there's a mention in the opening of this short story I've been kicking around revising :)

Meet Alecto, enjoyer of orange juice coffee and retired Greek Fury.

The taste of coffee and orange juice unrolls across her tongue, an intertwining play of bitterness and sweet fruit almost reminiscent of deep cocoa. It's been months since she last had actual chocolate. She tries not to keep it in the house these days. People always say it's a passionate flavor, an aphrodisiac. But when the bitter warmth spreads in her stomach, she finds it more reminiscent of other feelings — hotter, darker. Feelings like fury.

#WIPSnips Aug 27: "stand"

Amity meets the Flowing Lord.

From my godkilling short-story-turning-novel, "Blessed Be."

The first thing I understood was that the river before me was not the one I had followed to the temple. For that matter, I was no longer in the temple at all, it seemed; I found myself now standing thigh-deep in an unfamiliar water, staring into a current that seemed surrounded by a pure emptiness of white. The second thing I understood, though I did not know how, was that this river itself was the Flowing Lord. "You have come to wish harm upon me."
