The #WIPSnips word for December 7th is "empty"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
The best man handed her the glass, now empty. “At least it’s open bar,” he said, and resumed taking drags from his cigarette.

“Of course, I’ve thought about this,” he said. “And it’s going to kill me if I don’t kiss you right now.” I held my hand out. He pulled me out of my chair and onto his lap. He put his hand behind my head and pulled me in closer, our foreheads against each other, his other hand on my back. There was the big smile again. I focused on the amber rings around his irises before I closed my eyes. He leaned in and put his mouth on mine. His lips, soft and full, tasted like mint toothpaste. My body went limp, and I let him pull my waist in closer.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
His desktop screensaver a picture of the beach that looked like one of the standard wallpapers that came with the computer. He had a few folders on the right side of the screen. ‘Divorce Stuff.’ ‘Pictures.’

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“Come on, Madi. You dumped me with a note like one of Carrie’s awful boyfriends in Sex and the City. What was his name? He was in Office Space.”

from 'real love baby' because i never talk about that one #writingprompt
She laughs. “You evil genius. What is this about, Greg’s beach house?” I nearly spit out my Pepsi. “I told you about the beach house?” “Yeah, you said it’s a ‘fuck you’ to your mom for making him buy the lake house when he sold the maps.”

The #WIPSnips word for December 3rd is "dominant"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“Pop culture is a multifaceted interest.” Madi tried to defend her main interest being keeping up with new music, movies, books and TV shows. She was tired of explaining new pop stars and actors to watch out for on dates, but it was more interesting than hearing about what people did at work.

She didn’t want to go to London quite yet if she wasn’t one hundred percent done with Felix or Jonah.

Welcome to December and a new week of #WIPSnips!

The word for December 1st is "belong"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Felix had returned, the smell of his cologne mixed with cigarettes wafting into Jonah’s clean living room. It felt like he didn’t belong, but Madi wanted so badly for him to be comfortable.

The #WIPSnips word for November 30th is "number"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
And you need to show me I’m your number one, and not some girl you had a stupid childhood crush on, who happens to be a close friend to both of us.

The #WIPSnips word for November 29th is "dedicate"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Jonah had texted Madi a few times asking to talk, but she didn’t answer him. She was devoting her time to Felix now.

The #WIPSnips word for November 28th is "zigzag"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Felix being gone for a week had nearly made her spiral and if Jonah hadn’t shown up, she would have probably started applying for her visa early.

From favorite ex #writingprompt
The inside of the bar felt like the inside of an old train with curved ceilings and wood walls. I had only been on modern trains so I really did feel like I was in Murder on the Orient Express, just like the themed. I loved themed bars. I couldn't say no to an invitation to one.

The #WIPSnips word for November 26th is "impede"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Madi was borderline wasted from the way she was so uninhibited dancing with a man she just met, but not the kind of drunk where they would forget about each other tomorrow.

#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity
Madi went home after one drink, changed into sweatpants and caught and indie movie at Cinema Parc by herself. The air conditioning was nice in there and she flushed out her glass of Espresso Martini from her system with chamomile tea.

The word for November 24th is "debut"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Fiona and Bridget burst in through the glass doors. Madi watched Felix’s shaking hand hold his glass of water as he sipped instead of watching the grand entrance, but she focused back once Felix set the cup down.
