Fun fact: a Korean word with no direct English translation is “nunchi,” which literally means something like “eye-measure.” It’s a social skill that most closely translates to “reading the room.” Chloe has nunchi. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

“You’re awake.”
Cyrus’s voice pulls me out of my nightmarish reverie, and a second later, he’s at my bedside. His hair is especially disheveled, and I mentally kick myself for thinking it looks more charming that way.
He blinks his eyes rapidly, as if to make sure he isn’t dreaming. The dimple in his left cheek greets me, the shyer one on the right making a fleeting appearance when that lopsided smile briefly spreads into a full one. And just like that, my chest is on the brink of bursting, and I’m grinning back.
“Well!” Chloe says loudly, bouncing up from the bed. “I’m going to find Mundo. You know, don’t you? How that boy gets lost.” She wiggles her fingers at us before jetting out of the room.

I keep meaning to read this because someone wants to borrow it before the movie comes out. 💙📚 I can not let someone borrow a book if I haven’t read it first. Feels weird.

The sprayed edges version of People We Meet On Vacation that I got at Costco.

And sadly there was a sticker situation because why are we putting price stickers right on the front Costco?

It's always a good day that starts with some Gods of Atlantis 😍😍 #writingcommunity #booksky

Prof Elfmily & Spoopdolph the Red-Nosed Catdeer@professoremily.bsky.social

Good morning #writingcommunity! For funsies, here's a little snip from Book 1 of my series THE GODS OF ATLANTIS. Kena says goodbye to his rescued phoenix before releasing her back into the wild. And... is Mireia perhaps starting to catch some feelings? 👀☀️❤️ #hqpress #Atlantis #writesky

A snippet of text on a purple & blue background:

Aiaxi bent her head forward, neck curved gracefully, and Kena tilted his own head forward to meet hers. They pressed their brows together in a sign of mutual respect and affection. And Mireia suddenly felt she was witnessing something mythical—something sacred.

He really is the Sun Father.

From WIP #2. Shannon is having a moment 🥰🫠 #WIPSnips #QueerWriters #WriteSky #lesfic #sapphic #BookSky #WIP

A screen grab of a work in progress. It reads:
With each arpeggio, the stiffness in Jacqueline’s body fell away. Her shoulders relaxed, her chest expanded, and her movements became more fluid than controlled. Jacqueline’s left foot tapped along as her delicate fingers picked at the strings of the guitar with a practised precision.
A wide grin tugged at Shannon’s lips. She felt almost guilty for witnessing this moment, but she couldn’t look away.
Then Jacqueline’s first vocal notes rang through the room—more unguarded and confident than Shannon could have expected.
Shannon’s breath caught in her lungs. Every muscle, every synapse, every tiny hair on her body snapped to attention, demanding she take notice, even as she herself tried to temporize the reaction.
Shannon watched her friend perform for a room full of people that suddenly felt very far away. Her focus was so singular that she failed to notice Mary or Nurse Hendricks watching, eyes flick between the musician and her.

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #amquerying #writesky #epicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚 From Epic Fantasy WIP, Waking the Saints. Demon hunter, mage, and queen: three enemies must unite before the Demonflood. Hunter and hunted must collaborate in a desperate attempt to awaken the saints.

Vayhne drew a thread of power from the ether and spun a mask of shadow and silence around him. Through the archway and up the stairs, Vayhne found his way to the private rooms on the third floor. Imported furniture from Caldone, elegant vases from Inani, and seaglass sculptures displayed the wealth and reach of the Gooseport House and their ships’ trading success. According to his spies, all of it mortgaged to the full to pay for Tauno’s bid for the throne. Could Zorrik have offered Kahyla money to prop up her new husband, King Tauno?
A young maidservant sat outside the closed door to Kahyla’s rooms.
He should leave.
The girl yawned.
But he had to know why Zorrik was here. He threw a pebble, bouncing it past the doorway and drawing the girl’s drowsy gaze. Vayhne drifted quickly to the door, muffling the sound of it opening and shutting behind him.

Here's the first paragraph of the next chapter (hopefully coming tomorrow)—this one will be action-packed! 😱 Sandrin's life turns upside-down as the forces of Xuntronia lay siege to his hometown of Hawenwall! #amwriting #fantasylit #booksky 💙📚

Picture of a digitally typed text with a pretty drop cap at the beginning. The text is as follows: "3. Escape. Ash and smoke. Dust was covering everything. Sandrin heard nothing but monotone buzzing and whistling in his ear. He needed to cough, he felt like he’s coughing, but he heard none of it. The flat, round top of the tower had smashed a house not far from him, right after decimating the hillside. The light of the explosion burned onto his retinas; he had been looking right up at the Towerhouse when it happened. Many people were breathlessly running around him, screaming at the top of their lungs, but Sandrin only saw their silent, horrified faces. The dust made his eyes water, he was dizzy, he had trouble getting to his feet. His right leg felt heavier than usual. He looked down. He didn’t remember putting on dark red trousers… He needed a few seconds before realizing something had punctured his calf."
