It wasn't a question Of fighting fair We never fought At all Feelings festered Rotted, grew Until that Awful brawl We both said things We never should We both cried Angry tears Though we made up In a mincing way It doesn't allay My fears #vss365 #fight

From Book 1: Instead of her signature bun, Ellen’s silvery curls drooped over her shoulders. The rosy hues had faded from her porcelain complexion. An intravenous line punctured the long, blue vein showing through her wrinkled, sagging flesh. #WIPSnips

The #WIPSnips word for December 21st is "silver" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The boxing announcer waved to the crowd. "Get ready for a great #fight! In this corner, weighing in at 224 pounds, it's Lightning Louie Peterson! And in that corner, weighing in at 50,000 pounds, it's an F-35!" Louie blanched. "This seems a bit unfair." "You're both fighters, ain't ya?" #vss365

I preferred the overt #fighting of his family on Xmas Day. Watching gravy boats fly while Michael Bublé crooned about a #holly jolly Xmas was kind of funny, like a Tarantino movie. Round my house, words were quiet but sharp as knives, & the frost never thawed. #vss365 #vsschristmas

#WIPSnips From my trucker WIP. Buck sends Ruby shopping for clothes and make up at the supermarket whilst he shops for food, and they meet at to queue. Ruby is worried as some people around them can't stop staring. (cw mention of past abuse)

#WIPSnips “Silver” The door opened and Akachi sat up straight ready for whatever barrage of questions was coming. A short black woman with a streak of silver in her tightly cropped hair entered. #WriteSky

#vss365 The widow did not weep when the #fighting ended. She washed his coat, pressed it flat, and laid it over the chair by the lamp. Morning came and found her still watching the doorway, where nothing waited but light.

Ramblings of a Wannabe Writer

I felt the walls closing in around me. I was frantically looking at the door, praying for Anne and Allie to walk through it, when Marc’s hand gently cupped the back of my head, his fingers tangled in my hair, as he leaned in and kissed me. Like, really kissed me. I felt like I was back in the fifth grade, being kissed for the first time under the big oak tree on the playground. The sounds of light jazz, conversation, silverware against plates, all of it went silent as the planets all stood still and I floated through the air. When I opened my eyes, Anne and Allie were standing there, Anne looking stunned, Allie amused.

“Well,” Anne finally spoke. “I guess you two learned how to get along after I left.”

#WIPSnips - Cry Wolf - GREAT word for a werewolf story. Opted for a world-building and character-background snip for Rieka. The day-to-day danger to a werewolf is hunger. Silver is a rare, but lethal threat. #writesky #writingcommunity #PNR #werewolf #romance #wlw #sapphic #lesbian
"We're factories that turn protein into power. Never forget it," she remembered her father explaining. "Silver bullets, fascists, they aren't the killers for us. Nothing kills more of us than starvation. That's why you need a pack, that's why you listen to your body, and that's why you don't waste time on small game. You skip one meal? You're putting a silver bullet to your own head and pulling the trigger."
Everything Rieka had learned for herself in the damn-near-decade since only made that clearer. Everything was protein for her. The change, her strength, her speed, even her senses. If she didn't have protein to burn, she started burning herself.

Like yesterday's Smutcember post, more Katie watching a movie at someone's apartment. This is from Episode 2 of my rock drama/romance serial when Katie is not having a good time. But at least she & Rachel are silly enough together that they always help cheer each other up. #WIPSnips #WriteSky
