We are highly evolved apes wearing clothes, desperately trying to pay for those clothes. People don't buy things... they buy a brief, shimmering moment where they feel less like an ape and more like the kind of person who deserves that widget

Today's word for #WIPSnips is “zigzag” and I don't remember using it, but if we go with vibes~~ I have used “winding” part of still a WIP (Titled: The Cursed Guard of Bombay) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritersLift #AmWriting

In the morning's paper, a headline screamed: "Radical Journalist Incites Violence and Anarchy in Bombay Docks." A warrant for Kaveri's arrest was issued, and she was forced to flee, going into hiding in the winding backstreets of a part of town Damodar would never dare to enter.

Medium beige color with a decorative rectangular frame. At the top of the image, in dark brown text, it says "Weekly Austen & Bronte Inquiry." Below that is an illustration of a quill pen and an ink pot on top of a book. In the middle of the image, also in dark brown text, it says, "What insights does Austen offer into the daily lives of the gentry class?"

I find
early morning unraveling
of the knots I crafted yesterday
extremely therapeutic and relaxing

Releasing the pressure
on my jammed up brain
has become
a mental health necessity

The slow methodical
deknotting process
is also a great way
to review and learn
from the mistakes
that we accidently did create
embedded deep
in our tangled life complications

#WordWeavers Nov 28: Your MC gets a free bag of candy corn. How do they react?

Gery <reads ingredients>: Is this food?
Serte <snatches bag, pops one in mouth>: Tastes fine.
Gery: They're little more than sugar with additives.
Serte <eats another one>: They'd be good stakeout snacks.
Gery: ... how often do you have stakeouts?
Serte: Not often.
Gery: Good.

#WorldOfOntyre 28

Yesterday was a big holiday & family day that was all such days should be.

It was also a day where story was mostly set aside, but not on the drive where there was time to think about the novel.

Too, memories make us rich, & make writers richer still.

Now, I have 3 days to finish the prep on Expired Reflection so I can begin drafting on Dec 1st. This story is impatient.

Be everwell.

The three books in the Kovenlore series, out of seven, sit on a bookshelf, a gargoyle bookstand on the right.

Each book’s cover is the negative image of a golden, hand drawn map showing mountains, plains, and rivers, but sometimes a black void. The titles are always displayed across two lines up high, the color varying. Between the two lines of the title is always a set of turquoise eyes.

A subtitle, always in turquoise, is below that and shares which number book it is in The Kovenlore Chronicles. At the bottom is the author’s name, Christina Anne Hawthorne, and always in a dark yellow. All text is outlined in black, the titles possessing a shadow.

Book 1, Trust in the Forgotten, is on the left, it’s title in turquoise. Book 2, A River in Each Hand, is at center, its title in red. Book 3, Exhuming Truths, is on the right, its title in dark blue.

#Today 28

Good day!

I’m exhausted, but what a sensational day. Yes, there was a drive in the fog, & another in the rain.

There were also two adorable two-year-olds, great conversation, a superb meal, & my team won.

Wonderful memories are made of such moments.

Be everwell.

A trail laden with pine needles descends a wooded gulch where there’s still green grass in autumn, though it’s sparse. A fallen tree lies to the left, another to the right farther away as the trail drifts to the left, then curls to the right. There’s abundant lichen, green on brown. The sky is gray.

A book on a brown blanket in autumn grass with apples.

To make a great character in your novel and writing, you have to give them a purpose, a motivation, a fear, and a flaw. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky

Give Yourself Time. - Wrtr ~ Background illustration shows the stages of growth.

Writing: Make use of each character's body language in your writing. A character's body language can say a lot about the story and the character that they can't or won't say in words. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky #WriterSky
