Get to 25k on story then think of a short story idea and get distracted.

Current short story idea, what if someone volunteered at a rescue centre for familiars? (Cue falling into a wiki rabbit hole and writing 1k before breakfast) #writesky

Well I'm not going anywhere! And I always look both ways when I cross the road and never invite any strangers into my home. You can never be too careful.

I can send you a link if you'd like to read it. It's only 4k so nothing epic.

Mildly pesky? Curmudgeonly?

Also, the offer to betaread still stands. I need to know Toren's fate!

Ahhh....so is it a story that nobody is safe? Or that no one gets a happy ending, which is true about life? And yes, save Toren. He is precious and must be protected and you're going to reveal he's the big bad or something!

I'm sure she has great taste. Who wouldn't want to be married to a vampire? That story is done, it's just a short story I entered into a contest.

Does it for necessity rather than monetary reasons?

There are so many knives for cooking and then the prep. I once had a customer talk to me for ages about the best knives for skinning rabbits (long and thin).

Yeah, I can still remember the first time I saw my husband. Remember thinking 'what a miserable bastard'! But thank you for liking the story, it's very different to my normal stuff.

Today in #WIPSnips: Sir Philip is jousting; a car is alarmed; and some birds behave erratically.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AuthorChat

A buzzard squawked.

The car alarm faltered.

Startled, Sir Galahad looked around.

Sir Philip seized the moment and thrust his lance towards Galahad, whose attempt at a last minute evasive manouvre put the ostrich into a flat spin which ultimately crash-landed in an ungainly pile of legs and feathers, much to the entertainment of the crowd.

Ultimate = Final

Spencer has landed in some serious sh!t.

From my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer

This is important. You need to focus, Spencer told his uncooperative brain.

The wooly fog was beginning to lift, but it was being replaced by something else. An angry buzzing he could feel through the soles of his feet was crowding in at the edges of his awareness. Out of instinct, Spencer reached for the Gray Lady and found the usually placid waters of her presence boiling like a tea kettle over the fire.

“Lady, bless and keep me,” he whispered on a shaky breath. He felt Her presence settle over him, a thin layer of cool gossamer tingling against his skin. The angry buzz resolved into something he could understand. It was pain and blood and fear steeped into the very stones beneath him. Every unlucky soul who’d been dragged into this cursed place and shed their last drop of blood, gasped their final dying breath upon these stones. They had not been grieved or given rites or buried. They were clamoring at Spencer all at once, crying out for him to witness them, to give voice to their pain and their suffering. The Lady’s touch upon him made it bearable, but only just.

It’s an excellent book and she’s a very engaging author.

Using ‘final’ an excerpt from ‘an untouched journey’ about a pilot taking her telepathic wife on a surprise galactic journey. Isley is scared of most surprises, unless they involve Gloria. #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity
