I've got to the middle of the novel I'm currently editing and have run out of steam. As this novel only seems to possess my brain at Christmas (no idea why), will I have to wait 12 months before I work on it again? 😂 Good thing I have another WIP to work on!

#AmWriting progress: 939 words on Legacy of the Gods this evening, bringing the total (actually this time) to 124,700 words.

We have a mixed reunion. Touching, terrifying, sorrowful, and surprising.

I was very good and focused today with my editing of The Kings Raven, now taking a break. I am so close to the end. It is going to be so weird to have the duology finished in a few months. I can't believe this was five years of my life! 📚 💙

I wrote an incredibly shitty first half of a first draft.

But I did write it.🎉

Sometimes a novel you're working on can feel like running through treacle. Enter my current WIP. Yet, when I checked, I found I was already a quarter of the way through the draft! I try not to obsess over word count, but sometimes you need to check if the treacle is an illusion.

Since I've not used “clobber”, relying heavily on the vibe for today's #WIPSnips

Honestly I've not written many fight sequences, so here's a snip from the one #FlashFiction which does have a lot of fight.

You can read it here: ss.lucidillusions.in/deathclock/2...

The fight that ensued was a blur of instinct and improbable physics. The figure moved with impossible grace, its limbs elongating and contracting, its form subtly shifting. Lauren dodged a blow that crumpled the steel fence behind her, rolled under a sweep that twisted the air above her, and landed a kick that sent ripples through the opponent's body like dropping a stone in still water. Each of her attacks, though seemingly ineffective, was met with a strange resonance that vibrated deep within her bones.

It's Sunday Funday, so why not read a #FlashFiction?

After stealing a million pens to break his bizarre curse, the demon has gotten a promotion. Now possessing a human in a mundane office, which he's transforming into the epicenter of a bureaucratic nightmare.

‘The healer said you’ve got some broken ribs,’ Marco said. ‘No shit.’ Elyan closed his eyes and tried not to think about a healer’s hands on him while he was unconscious.

As they headed back to the riverboat, Daem said in Lokhan, ‘You’re sure these smugglers won’t sell you – us – out?’ Elyan rolled his eyes. ‘And have to find someone else to move their shit? Why the fuck would they do that? They’re not exactly the type to get upset about folks breaking laws.’

‘And it was always “I’m so worried about Niv, what if all those bad habits of hers come out in her recital?” And that made me worry about them so much it was all I could think about. One time in class I was so anxious the prof asked in front of everyone if my bow arm had turned to stone. Everyone laughed.’ She shot Veylan a rueful sideways smile. ‘Not exactly the villain of an adventure novel, I know.’

Blows rained down on him from all sides; Elyan felt bones snap and he cried out, begging his attacker to stop, but the fists and boots kept coming. They slammed him against the wall, and as they leaned in, he could see their face clearly for the first time. He gasped in agony that had nothing to do with physical pain. He knew that face better than his own. ‘I’ll fucking kill you,’ they snarled… and he sat up in a bed, but when he looked down at his arm, it was bent at an impossible angle, and he could feel the jagged edges of his ribs poking out through his skin, because his entire rib cage had been removed and replaced backwards, and he woke, shuddering, running a frantic hand over his splinted arm and tender ribs, gasping in relief to find them all in approximately the right places.

Today's #WIPSnips word is “clay” and I used it in one of my recent Friday Flash Fiction share, a weird little story about global existential dread.

“It’s a covenant, not commerce,” I whispered, the word dry and cracked in my mouth. My lips felt like parched clay. I wasn’t speaking to the dead trilobite this time; I was addressing the shimmering, dark reflection of myself in the window. “We trade the memory of the Earth for momentum, a frantic, brief burst of speed before the final, heavier stillness takes us all.” The moment of stillness was the moment the debt was paid, the moment all the light we had borrowed was recalled.

I've not used Moist, so the closest I can offer is “Moisture” for today's #WIPSnips post.

This piece is from a rework that I'm doing to add more details to a folklore flash fiction (that didn't make the cut).

excited for this.

The supernatural cold became constant and consuming. Elias's apartment felt like a tomb beneath the waterline. He would wake up shivering, his blankets heavy with phantom moisture, with the overpowering smell of old brine and rotting wood in his nostrils. The furniture felt tacky with salt. This chill was Draugen's sorrow manifesting, forcing Elias to live in the atmosphere of the crushing depths. The floorboards would occasionally creak under an invisible, immense weight. When Elias tried to describe the ferryman's simple cottage, the words would immediately twist on the screen, changing "pine table" to "splintered driftwood" and "warm fire" to "a dying ember drowned in rain," rewriting his comfort into elemental tragedy. He lost all sense of comfort and safety in his own home.

As I waited in anticipation of Sue’s arrival, I settled back onto the blanket. With each inhalation, I savoured the crisp, invigorating air, and with closed eyes, I let myself become enveloped by the symphony of the outdoors. I listened to the birds chirping, a joyful accompaniment to the rustling leaves, as if whispering some secrets to the wind. The morning felt so perfect that it seemed plucked from a postcard, tailored to our desires. A few minutes later, I saw Sue walking towards me, a smile illuminating her face. Her delighted wave beckoned me forward, and I watched her approach with eager anticipation.
