Oh, I’ve done nothing really today but take my puppy out to potty at least 5 times and wrote 300 words

#WIPSnips — dungeon

From ‘War & Blood’ (Book 1)

#writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts #fantasy #fiction #author #amediting #amwriting
“Men who survived were either forced to work on the farms, fill their ships or tend to Queen Darya's needs. If they failed to comply, Darya displayed their dismembered bodies; each limb on a wooden spike at the centre of the courtyard, summoned them to the dungeon to starve long enough to chew the meat off their own bones then hung their rotting corpse along the alleyways of the city so their children and women could see. Either way, death would always be the end result.” — written by Shanice E. Wilson Excerpt from ‘War & Blood’ (Book 1)

As of tomorrow, October 1st, I will resume writing. Think this month’s break has done me some good. #writingcommunity

Side note: haven’t been active here with the prompts because I’ve taken a month break from writing. I think I really needed it because my WIP started feeling like a chore and not my piece of art. Anywho, I’m hoping I come back to it in October feeling inspired! #writingcommunity

I got a puppy! It’s still overwhelming right now though because he needs potty training and requires a lot of attention 😩. I could cry sometimes.

Meet Ollie!

Ah, don’t mind if I do. Red is a very prominent colour in my book series.

From ‘War & Blood’ (Book 1)

The red dress swept the pavement like it was blessed by it. Fluttering freely at her back as she gracefully made an entrance up the steps. Everything about her was intoxicating. Her voice, even more dreamy. Whether you'd seen her for the first time or many times before, her impressions always felt like the first time. Queen Rhaelle's beautifully braided trailed down her spine, reflecting the sun's light like it was its own. Adorned with little white flowers tucked behind the burnt ginger strands, she was never more grateful for her maidens for their time spent every day without grievance for fitting them in perfectly. Her sapphire eyes, rimmed in a light blue hue, replicating the depth of the Poseidon Sea, could drown you. Like brown silk, polished in beady diamonds, her skin was so delicate that even a stare could bruise her. For as long as the sun existed, she would keep absorbing its glow, returning the gesture.

#WIPSnips — adventure

(Would you believe I only have this word once in my whole WIP?)

From ‘War & Blood’ (Book 1)

Please. Please. Make it stop. She begged the heavens to call her home. Maybe dying before she could save her people made her coward but she was tired. Everything had gone wrong since she got on that ship. The life of adventure didn't seem so pleasing anymore.

#WIPSnips — reptile

I don’t regard dragons reptiles because they’re “mythical creatures” but I have the word “reptile” nowhere in my books, so I’ll go with dragon.

NB. Names have been redacted.

“Nearly half the city still writhed upon spikes as the monstrous beast loomed like a shadow carved into the sky. But not [redacted]. As she descended with her dragon, effortless and unbroken, he smiled-never had pride swelled so fiercely in him. Everything that she was had tethered him. Driven him beyond breath. With only a prayer that her eyes would one day meet him as his did hers. Even if that meant waiting a thousand years until his stars at last rose to crown her sky. For she was worth every second, every silence, and every burning moment of his life.” — written by Shanice E. Wilson Excerpt from ‘Fire & Anarchy’ (Book 2)

#WIPSnips — same

Finally get to share a snip from book 2 of my duology, ‘Fire & Anarchy’ for the first time!

Only crows hovered where she sat. Their caws like a hum from her soul. Grey had seized where blue once rested, and though daylight had fallen into night at least a hundred times since, not the smell of burning flesh, screams echoed once through the hollow bay or the screeches of enormous claws crushing wood could meld what she had endured into a distant memory. Nothing felt the same.

There’s a different kind of freedom that comes from saying ‘no’ to people who would never even consider reciprocating kindness to you.

Did all reading today and no writing. For once, I don’t feel guilty. Surprisingly.

Can’t wait to add on to my tattoo. Long overdue. I need the entire forearm by Christmas.

Been a heck of a day for me and my leg but I’m proud that I did some red pen editing.

I was supposed to order a spare Apple Watch charger but instead I ordered a new book. Oops 😬
