IF I DON’T ASK X DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE
A timid divorced secretary accepts a sapphic bar owner's b-day invite, beginning her late-bloomer journey into love, found family & singing career. But her kids' cold disdain means deciding if their approval's worth more than her own HEA. #A #WF #R #DVPit

My top 2 snips are from the 2 different series. Sorry 2nd one is only a sentence.

The 3rd is the standalone.

The bottom one is a new standalone WIP. I'd welcome feedback on the bottom one, if anyone wants to comment.

I shouldn't attempt to read an acronym with tired eyes. I spend 2 mins wondering if Michigan (MI) was having a storm & how ICY it was.
& did I need to know if MI was ICY as I had no immediate plans to be in the state.
& which MI city was currently ICY? It's only Oct but anything's possible. iykyk

Thanks! I hadn't considered those. I just thought maybe a single line or two didn't offer enough to hint at the story.

Yesterday I asked whether or not people want more content if prompt snippets are short, but no one replied.

If anyone wants to answer today, I'd be grateful. 😀💜

Top 2 are from different series. The standalone's a single line.

Only one snippet today.

Question for those who like & repost my snips.

When my snips are shorter, like now, would you like me to include more context from surrounding paragraphs?

Please reply with your answer, I'd really like to know. TIA

Pt 1 of 2 posts today

I try to include 'Hope' -- actual word or variations of -- in all my stories. Below are snippets from a single series only.

Welcome to Maddy & Dinah's journey. I've numbered them to show book order.

Both series & standalone had several 'Welcome' to choose from. Instead of reading each & deciding, I just picked a random number from the 'Headings' options in 'Find' then clicked 'Results'.
Top's #5 of 14
Middle's #1 of 12
Bottom's #4 of 12

Had several variations to choose from but opted for plain & simple.
The top 2 are each from a single book in two different series. The bottom 1 is from a standalone.

My DVpit pitches are up for all who are enjoying my #WIPSnips posts. 1 is page pinned. The other begins w/a Yellowstone comp. They give more insight into each series.

A reply or quote post if you like them would be appreciated.

Desperate for cash to repair her ship’s AI, Lyr accepts a lucrative job from a naive heiress who thinks she can save humanity. The catch? The heiress is her ex's bubbly new girlfriend. Oh, and if they can't make this delivery, it's the end of the world. Literally. #A #SF #LGBT #TV #Own #DVPit

I could see this leaning into Thriller genre also.

Being accused of murder was not on Emmie’s bingo card but when a fan dies during her mom’s book event, all eyes are turned toward Emmie—she was the last person to serve them food. She needs to get her life back & not get killed in the process.

Malibu Rising x The Sirens 🌊

When an island whispers different versions of unwritten local legends and turning into a creature of the deep as a result of first heartbreak makes you want to drown your ex- no one is safe

Especially not the ex boyfriends

That would make you a member of Team Dinah!

There's also:
Team Maddy (the other MC)
Team Bo (the bartender)
& for some reason Team 'Loafwich' (for the amazing meatloaf sandwiches Markers serves) lol
