Writing momentum is like a train. It's been stalled for a while (work sucks) and yesterday it started churning away again.

Today I'm travelling for work. And the train's stopped, but the carriages are piling up behind it. My phone's notepad is full of all these ideas I can't write yet!

Really cool, nuanced conversation ❤️ The difficulty Noah expresses in opening up makes it all the more meaningful.

So true. I outlined Lonely Ship to have solo scenes as a way of keeping the horny tension up between scenes with couples, but I've actually started writing them in on purpose now 💯

'care', from Black Husk. Lord Alyx considers the murder of a lifelong acquaintance and court rival, and what it means for him.

#writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #wipsnips #care

Alyx could not in good conscience claim to have ever liked the woman. They had been born within a rotation of one another to mothers who had until their respective demises been at each other’s throats. Emma’s quick, human aging had meant that she had cared for Alyx during his infancy, her teenage years, whenever his parents had gone away from the estate. Her body’s rapid advancement had ever been a point she used to belittle him, even as her tanned skin wrinkled and her hair turned white. She’d always been older. Wiser, she claimed. Even until the day she died.
No, he’d never liked her. But by the blessed steel, he had respected her. She had brought House Nassar up from relative obscurity into a new contender for the Foreman’s seat. She’d made some striking and startling connections with the common people down in the Middle Tier. Her death brought Alyx no joy whatsoever. Especially when it caused everyone to stare at him with such open suspicion.
He was sweating. Hot fluid leaked between the plates of his stone skin and dripped onto the green carpet at his feet. When he breathed out a sigh, it emerged as steam

For all that my books are chonky epics, the space fights are always over so fast! There's only a couple of times in Lonely Ship where there's a back and forth, usually around the trilogy climax.

Guess I like my space fights to be quick. Gives us more time for the juicy stuff in the ship corridors 🤫

'ultimate', from Black Husk. Marcus loses his patience with an old enemy, the anarchist faction Flamefall.

#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips #ultimate

“This is Captain Marcus Albright of the Black Husk to all Flamefall vessels in the current sector,” he called into the silent din. “I’m not sure what you were hoping to achieve here, and I frankly don’t care. I long ago gave up trying to understand what Flamefall considers a logical course of action. You are attacking a sentient Mythmaker facility that we consider an ally. That is an act of aggression that we cannot and will not overlook. I respect that Flamefall desires ultimate freedom. ‘No masters for the Forge,’ and all that. Therefore, I shall offer you that same freedom. Any ships who do not wish to be excised from reality, leave now and you won’t be chased. The rest of you are welcome to make some overdue prayers to God for forgiveness that you do not deserve. Now cut the channel.” He said to his crew, not caring that he was still being heard. “Aggressive manoeuvres. Fei, take us in. Kids, time to scramble.”

“Allow me to do away with unnecessary words, my Lord Marcus,” Disliera beamed. She stepped forward, and Marcus was granted a new surge of her summery scent as she leaned against the near corner of the building, right inside his proximity. She touched gently at his chest. “When thou leavest the Prism behind for worlds anew, it is my wish that thou allowest me to join thee in thy travels. And in return, I would be honoured to take thee into-…”
“Absolutely.”
“…-yonder alley and service thee with… U-Um. Lord?”
“Yes, you can join us, Disliera!” he repeated, perhaps a touch too eagerly. “You’re more than welcome on the Black Husk!”

'push', from Black Husk. Avalynne struggles to persuade Sakir that she is, in fact, single.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPsnips #push

She shut her eyes tight against the warm flesh of Sakir’s arm. This was all very annoying. She’d never had to push so hard to get a boy to sleep with her before. And convincing him that Marcus had nothing to do with what she wanted was… It was oddly difficult.
Sakir was like immovable stone against the frustrated push of her words. “Then tell me that Lord Marcus would not be saddened by thy sleeping with me tonight?”
“That’s not relevant.”
“Lady Avalynne…”
“He shouldn’t be sad that I’m with someone else!”
“But he would be,” said Sakir. “And that is reason enough to avoid mine temptation. Please forgive me, Lady Avalynne. I must honour my Lord Marcus, to whom I have sworn my service. And that is final.”
“Sakir!”

Avalynne groaned out her frustration. She put both hands on Sakir’s arm and leaned in to playfully bite his upper arm. “What do I have to do to convince you that I’m not with Marcus?” she asked when her teeth had been replaced by the push of a kiss on his skin.
“Thou carest not for each other?”
“I… He’s not… That’s not our relationship,” she growled. “Marcus and I… It’s complicated.”
“Is it?” Sakir asked, glowering down at her. “Art thou in love?”
“Yeah…” she sighed.
“Then it seems to me a very straightforward relationship.”

There's a lot of hope in this book ✨ #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TimeTravel

Even back then, the individual days and events were not quite clear in her mind that she could choose a good day with conviction. The best she could do was give her past self enough time to have healed, based on the memories she had of the time, and hope that she was right and landed on a good day.

The #WIPSnips word for October 12th is "hope" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is from my first novel, Charlie. She is recovering from a traumatic emergency medical procedure.

At one point a chaplain came to the room, offering a sympathetic ear if Charlie needed to talk. She ignored him too. When he refused to take no for an answer, Charlie told him that both he and Almighty God could get fucked and never speak to her again. The chaplain nodded and left.
The second week saw the removal of her bandages and she was able to stop wearing the oversized sanitary pads. She was done bleeding. Done forever for that matter. There was a long scar running across the bottom of her stomach between her hips, clouded with hideous green and purple and yellow bruises and the orange stain of antiseptic soap. There was no mirror in the room, but she’d seen it well enough in the shower to know it wasn’t pretty. It shouldn’t be pretty. It was the hole where her hopes and dreams were ripped out of her and discarded.
The doctors thought she was depressed, and perhaps she was, but she didn’t feel depressed. There was absolutely nothing inside her. Not sadness or regret or anger or even confusion. She was an empty vessel. A ghost ship, drifting aimlessly in circles on an indifferent ocean. Nurses and doctors and therapists spoke down to her as if from the mouth of a well that she was at the bottom of, and she had no interest in climbing out.

It's been a killer writing week. Three projects on the go is not my choice, but two of them are close to done and they read great 😃 If the rest of this month goes well, I might even have the capacity to do a generic non-affliated novel-writing month for November!

'hope', from Black Husk. During a jump through subspace, Marcus checks in with the eponymous digital intelligence living in the ship.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #hope #WIPsnips

Time slowed to a crawl for organic life in the endless whorl of subspace, but digital life could think much faster. Looking about, Marcus saw the perfect stillness of Avalynne, Fei and Lilith at their stations. Then back, towards Rune and the three children, who moved within the void.And one more too. Rune was staring at the black smudge of non-light crouched down by the bridge doors, and Marcus joined her. Husk hadn’t chosen to be human. Was that because they didn’t consider Marcus and Rune to be their family? Who were they, really? Did they even know?Marcus pushed those thoughts to one side as he took in the formless shape of his one hundredth offspring, and he smiled.“I hope this isn’t too weird for you, Husk,” he said. At his words, Griffon, Robin and Altair all caught sight of the shadowy form as well, and quickly ceased their conversation. “Jumping to subspace, I mean. Sorry if it feels a bit strange.”Something in the inky black looked back at him, and Husk said, [NICE]“Well, alright then,” laughed Marcus. “That’s good to hear.”

“I had heard of this ‘succubus’ story before in my study of human folklore, but I didn’t really see the appeal,” she said as she relaxed into the mattress. “They eat lust, do they? It sounds like a good way to make a poor man afraid of sex. But I think I understand now. It’s less like a predatory vampire, more like a… a farm animal being milked.”
“That’s not sexy, though,” Marcus said, rolling onto his side next to her.
“Really? Then I guess I don’t understand.” Rune snuggled up beside him.
“Thank you,” said Marcus as he embraced her. “That was really nice. I think I needed it.”
“You’re very welcome.”
“But for the record, vampires are sexy too.”
Rune rolled her eyes as she kissed his cheek. “I’ll never understand humans,” she laughed.
