Heeeey, it's the #WIPSnips word for the day, INK. I had to wade through ink-containing words (think, drink, etc.) to get to this one, but here you go! Hawk loans Valentine something to do.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
Valentine turned her attention back to the couch to see what Hawk had brought to keep her busy. It was a book. Not a tablet or a phone – of course not, she was kidnapped – but a real, actual book, made of real, actual synth-paper and ink.

I had something like 30 instances of the #WIPSnips word of the day, "leave". I'm still trying to decide how this one ends. Happily, I hope.

#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
“Well, what were we supposed to do, leave her there to die? Do you really think Hawk would have protected her?” Owl held up one hand and Eagle stopped, albeit with a glare and her arms crossed. “What’s your name, sweetheart?” Owl asked. “I –” Valentine stuttered. “She told me to run.” "Who did?" Starling asked, concerned.

The #WIPSnips word for the day is "obvious" and I had a few of those. Here's a fun one, though. In which we find out that Valentine's father is a douchebag.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
“Go on,” Hawk told her. “You go first. I feel like that’s pretty obvious.” “Sorry,” Valentine said, “it’s just that I’ve never been kidnapped before. Though my father always told me that, if I ever did get kidnapped, they would send me back in a day, no ransom necessary.” Hawk just stared at her for a moment, blinking. “That’s, uh, a pretty fucked up thing for your old man to say,” Hawk informed Valentine. “Especially to his own kid.”

What I've written and what I'm working on...
In the middle, the cover of "Scenes: a BDSM Mixtape". Around it are arrows connected to aspects of the book, which are as follows: Risk-aware consensual kink. Friends to lovers. Low conflict. 15k word novelette. HEA. Total Power Exchange (24/7 TPE). 10 tracks, 10 stories. "What I am working on..." surrounded by pretty pink stars. Photo of Venus, with a faded city in the background. Middle title reads "A Heart of Flame" by persephone Posey. Around it are facets of the book. 80+k. Grumpy?/Sunshine? Scifi romance. Ride or die shit. Sapphic AF. Forced proximity. Consent is sexy. Kidnapping(s?). Age gap. Generational trauma. Found family. Touch her and die. Opposites attract.

This is me.

Undercover writer, living the dream.

There will be no explanation, only reputation.
Polaroid of author persephone Posey, photo in pink tint. Their face is only from the bottom of their eyes down to their shoulders. They are wearing the prettiest people collar ever. The Polaroid reads "persephone Posey" and underneath it reads "Author Snapshot". At the top, my link: linktr.ee/the.story.of.omg At the top it reads "I am" above four Polaroid frames. They read: "24/7" with a collar with a heart-shaped tag. "They/them" with a lightning bolt. "Disaster Bi" with an anatomical heart. "English/Lit" with a stack of books under a cup with a heart on it. I am... Four Polaroids again. "Writer/Artist" with a fountain pen and paintbrush crossed. "Atheist witch" with a hand dropping celestial figures. "Polyamorous" with three hearts. "Neurodivergent" with an infinity symbol. I write fiction about... "Mental health" with a head with scribbles for a brain. "LGBTQ+" with a Progress Pride rainbow heart. "Love, in all forms" with a smiling person with flowers growing from their head. "Magic and fantasy" with a hand producing sparkles.

YARD is the #WIPSnips word for the day, and we're joining up on a good cause today.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
“I mean that, if I answer any of your questions, you’re one of us, from that day on. You can never go home, never live your own life, never date, or get married, or have cute little babies to play in your picket-fence yard. It means you’re with us until this thing is done. And, no matter what it is, you gotta be prepared to do it, to further our cause.”

#WIPSnips word of the day is "difference", and Hawk is making 🌟 choices 🌟 over here.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
“What did you do?” Valentine asked, a little apprehensive. “He’s not –” “He’ll live. Just with a headache. I only punched him in his stupid face once. And tased him.” Valentine stared at Hawk, blinking hard. Hawk shrugged. “He’ll be fine, unfortunately. Douchebag doesn’t understand the difference between the go-ahead and an enthusiastic refusal.”

The #WIPSnips word of the day is PRACTICE. This one, from "Decorum, Volume I", is based on a true story. (Seriously, this is gross.)

#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
"Joss didn’t think that Lady would lie to her, certainly not about something as trivial as hair fashions, she just found the practice dubious. Apparently, women were supposed to save the hair that came out in their brushes in a special case, then bundle it to use for later, when a hairstyle needed added volume. They got the ‘necessary’ volume using dead hair."

The #WIPSnips word for the day -- other -- was too prevalent throughout the document. So, here, have the first instance from that nameless scifi novel.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
"It was a Wednesday, and on Wednesdays Valentine usually took a long lunch so she could eat with Devin in the first-floor restaurant in The Knightley Group’s building. Some weeks, it was the only time the two of them had a meal together at all, between his work at Knightley and hers at the flower shop, and the fact that their apartments were almost completely across town from each other."

#WIPSnips word of the day is AWARD. Here, Valentine has won one over Hawk... or so she thinks, anyway.

#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
"That made Hawk laugh, though Valentine had not been trying to do that. She awarded herself a point anyway. It rang, like a little bell."

#WIPSNIPS word of the day and it's WORST. Try the sci-fi novel whose title keeps changing.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
“You shouldn’t let Hawk bully you like that,” Owl said quietly. “She’ll never stop if you don’t stand up to her.” “I – I’m not tough like all of you are,” Valentine said. It wasn’t like it was some big admission, some dear secret she was parting with. All the Birds knew it. The worst part was that Hawk knew it too.

The #WIPSnips word of the day is "half". I had a lot of those, but this was the first instance.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
She was wearing a black V-neck shirt under black coveralls that were half-open on top. The coveralls had no work patches or identification on them. She was carrying some kind of large black stick. Time resumed normally, because – “Run,” the woman with the black eyes told Valentine.

The #WIPSnips word of the day is "outside". Here's outside from my Sci-fi romance, which I keep renaming.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
After the dim light of the basement, Valentine expected that her eyes would hurt from the sunshine. She frowned, however, to discover that the light through the kitchen windows was only that of the solar powered streetlights hovering unobtrusively outside. “What time is it?” Valentine asked. “Around three or so,” Hawk said. “In the morning?!” Valentine asked her, alarmed. “No,” Hawk deadpanned. “The other one.”

Oh, that's pretty easy, there, in "Decorum". Joss and I both wish we had chaotic magic. Lady would like to be better at structured magics. Jem is happy where he is. Rywen is also fine, and would not like any magic, thank you.

For #FantasyIndiesSeptember here is "Decorum".

8. Whoo, BOY, does Josephine Ivy Waite ever love school! Her main goal in Vol. I is to get through boarding school and go to college.

The #WIPSnips word for the day is "ability" and mine were mostly too boring or too revealing. Have this bit, from "Decorum, Vol. I".
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIP
"Not that she hadn’t tried. Illegal or not, Joss was fascinated by people who had the ability to work magic with only their will, uninhibited by the limitations of wands, potions, string, chalk, ink, or any other accoutrement."

... I really am a sucker for these. #SeptemberWorldBuilders Day 7.

For "Decorum", the seasons in the Elaprae Wilds, even when it rains, are unnaturally good compared to shitty Anora.

"Birdsong" takes place on Terraformed Venus, so it's always lovely in New Rome City. Late Spring/mid-Autumn.

The #WIPSnips word for the day is "nowhere" so have fun with three "nowheres" from Joss and an "anywhere" from Jem, because Jem kinda has authority issues.

All from the four volumes of my #WIP "Decorum", by ME!
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPromptS
“Lovey came up, seemingly out of nowhere, and touched Rywen on the arm. ‘Sonna Rywen, your Auntie Dahlia wants to see you. Bring your guests along. She's in room ten.’ Rywen had wide eyes as he watched his mother walk away. ‘Well,’ he said, ‘would anyone object to popping up to room ten to have their fortunes read by a woman who doesn't speak Anoran?’” -- Decorum, Vol. I, Persephone Posey "As the day wore on, Joss was not the only one struggling to keep her composure. King Taliesin of the Unseelie, still getting nowhere with the Seelie Queen, was growing increasingly surly and frustrated, especially as he grew drunker. Joss and Jem did their best to stay clear of him. Whatever game was being played between the king and queen of the fairies, they wanted no part in it." -- Decorum, Vol. II, Persephone Posey “‘A gun, Jem?’ She shook her head and frowned. ‘What in the world were you going to do with a gun?’ Ignoring, of course, what he’d done while he’d been toting one around day and night for two years. It wasn’t like all this had come out of nowhere, after all.” -- Decorum, Vol. III, Persephone Posey “‘Oh, no,’ Joss said. ‘You can’t teleport, Jem! Certainly not four people!’ ‘I don’t know that I can’t,’ he pointed out. ‘I don’t know if I can get us to the Seelie Tower, but anywhere’s better than here, right?’” -- Decorum, Vol. IV, Persephone Posey

I'm late to the #FantasyIndiesSeptember game, but here is today's...
6. Saturday Snippet!

This is the first paragraph of "Decorum, Vol. I".
Screenshot of the first paragraph of "Decorum Volume 1". "Autumn was in its earliest stages. The heat of summer had gone, and the leaves were turning from their uniform green into a riot of colour. The rich and privileged, with their entourages and accoutrement, would soon begin their yearly exodus, from their comparatively small houses in the capital city of Epillary into the northern country. There, all the obscenely vast estates were buzzing with armies of servants preparing to receive them."

This is my novelette, "Scenes: a BDSM Mixtape" -- I wrote it with my own brain, and I'm really proud of it. It's only $0.99! It's pretty much everywhere one can get ebooks, and if it's not published where you get yours, lemme know and I'll get right on it.
#BDSMSKY #Booksky 💙📚 #SpicyReads 🌶
Black background like wrinkled paper. In the middle, the cover of "Scenes: a BDSM Mixtape" by persephone Posey. It's a black background with a white spotlight coming from the top, shining on a white outline drawing of a Mixtape. On it reads the title. Underneaththe author's name. For those playing the home game, that's "Scenes: a BDSM Mixtape" by persephone posey. Around the cover are a series of arrows pointing to qualities of the book as listed: 10 "Tracks" (interconnected short stories). Collaring. 24/7 TPE. Romance w/a HEA. Novelette around 15k. Safe, sane, and consensual - slash - Risk Aware Consensual Kink. "Good girl." Low conflict. 4 star rating. 4.4 on Amazon. 4.25 on Goodreads. Holy handcuffs, Batman, that's a B+! In the middle on the right side, it urges you to swipe for the description. Same black wrinkled paper background on it, paperclipped and taped, is a note. Above it, it reads "Ebook 99 cents." At the top of the note, it reads, "Scenes: a BDSM Mixtape" The summary is: "They were best friends, now they're lovers. Together, they pursue a relationship of 24/7 Total Power Exchange, where He is her Dominant, and she is His submissive, not just in bed, but all the time. Wait, can they even do that? "Scenes: A BDSM Mixtape" is roughly fifteen thousand words, ten "tracks" (interconnected short stories) about a couple's journey into a 24/7 BDSM relationship. And, yes, it's spicy. The whole thing is about BDSM. But what is spice without flavor? This is a romance at heart, a love story." Underneath, a line drawing of a pomegranate with a red heart in it.

The #WIPSnips word for the day is "dust". I'm going a little rogue today with "stardust".

From my WIP, tentatively titled "Birdsong". Valentine is being a little dramatic here, but she'sjust got a lot of feelings, okay?!
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WIP
"What she sounded was defeated, which scared the hell out of Valentine. Valentine had never meant to make Laura feel like she was less than a serendipitous miracle of stardust and water and electricity."

The #WIPSnips word of the day is "event" and I had to look pretty hard, since I apparently use the word "eventually" A LOT. Gonna have to look out for that.
#Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
"An impostor – that’s what it was. She felt like, underneath these clothes she was still the same old Joss Waite she had always been, and surely someone would notice she didn’t belong in these clothes, or at that event. Or at that school."
