In order to avoid completely cluttering up this community, I'll add writing updates in comments below this post.
You can basically follow me building my books, struggling with my characters and putting them through hardship.
I'm not sure how easy or hard it is to jump to the last reply in a thread, but I hope it's doable.
If you feel supportive, just give me a few yays or high-fives in a comment. 👍
Today started out really well. I wrote before my morning started (240 words for the Vampires), walked to the office and felt really good.
Ran errands after that (stressful, had to pick up a package from a location I'd never been to before), and then found an official letter that added another mountain of stress.
So not much else happened today, except comfort books and stress eating.
Can't share much, either, sorry. So I'll pull a snippet from Sky Falls, for a change. (This is not "our" West, it's "his" West.) I'll edit his story over Christmas and get it published in January or so.
“Just relax, West. This shouldn’t hurt.”
Sky Falcon was reasonably sure it wouldn’t. He had watched the lightning everyone had in their bodies for months. He had played with it in the plants that their North was growing. The plants had never complained.
“Shouldn’t?” West rolled her lovely eyes.
“I’m not damaging anything. I’m just going to slow it down.”
“Slowing what down?”
“The lightning in your arm. I want you to tell me how that feels.”
