#WIPSnips - "Charge"

Using AI in your work makes you stupider and lazier. That's it. That's the post.

All her secrets start to unravel, and while she "gets" what she wants, she starts to lose something she didn't expect...

This is a throwback, but I'm cheating and using "The Magic Treehouse" series, since we can go everywhere they went. And because I was obsessed with that series as a kid.

"Second"
#WIPSnips #WriteSky

I get the initial idea for a character, and create the world, then create more characters. My world-building and characters influence each other. It is a process, and a lot of it changes by time I get to the drafting process.
#WeeknightWriters #WriteSky

Yessss we need more eco fantasy!

Oh no! Is your cat okay now? Poor baby

Hey #WeeknightWriters !
I’m Emi. I’m a teacher with too many houseplants and books. I’m querying an NA Romantasy with moon-magic and mythology. My WIP is a YA Fantasy with spirits, courtesans, and a whole lot of secrets.
#WriteSky

Same! It's my favorite kind of almost ending.

Maev finds Cal, dead from a yurma (snow leopard spirit) stealing his soul. In her anger, Maev kills the yurma. When interrogated by the court, she reveals that she killed the yurma, but lies that she did so with the goddess Agna's help: from courtesan to goddess-chosen.

Amulets, which come from defeating or freeing a spirit, have some sort of magical properties. But they take just as much as they give.

My LAST page is 334, so here is the last two paragraphs.

Today’s #WIPSnips Sometimes I forget what I have written and I think “Whoa! I wrote that?” 😵‍💫 #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #lgbtbook

#WIPSnips
Namura and Maev are friendship goals

My midpoint is a little different. I want to create a false sense of victory that starts around the midpoint and crashes at the All is Lost. The MC reaches her goal at the midpoint and is finally recognized for it, but it has contradicted what she has learned on the way.
#PlotTober #WriteSky

As a fantasy writer, I always make my own worlds but inspired by real places.

For this WIP, the main kingdom is heavenly inspired by the Himalayas. The elements of wind, water, flame, and stone keep humans safe from the spirits, so humans have to live in high altitudes.

Background: A ruin on the edge of canyon. "Anyway," said Generous, "they've produced a few anavim, most of whom have relocated to other sephirot but Bland, and probably the royal family, thinks they've been disappeared by the XT's. Therefore, he thinks that Beauty has some strange relationship with the XT's because she's the oldest of the anavim they've bred who hasn't disappeared and she's employing drop-offs and has a history of being interested in them. It seems by their reasoning that Freethinking should also have disappeared but for some reason Bland thinks he's different from Beauty." "The fake drop-offs were the only people I got on with!" said Beauty. "Later, I befriended some of the last real drop-offs to help fake drop-offs act realistically. By the way, all the real drop-offs I've met have been naviim and as far as I know, they all married naviim, often other drop-offs and formed a true-breeding navi extended family." "It sounds like they're doing the same thing as us," I said. "Only nibeyim can't teleport." "They can go through wormholes," said Freethinking. "That's very dangerous," said Breeze, "and requires difficult magic." "It's more likely they're just coming from off-world or perhaps the Big Sea," said Fascinating. "But none have come in the last forty years," I said. "And now a bunch have disappeared, including descendants of the ones from forty years ago."

They are all my beloved children and I'm excited to write all of them BUT if I have to pick one, it will be my FMC. I am having a lot of fun diving into the mind of a courtesan who fakes spiritual divination.

I'm so super excited to write the villain because I love villains.

Since I want to make this a duology, the ending will end on a cliffhanger. Maev gets what she wants: she's not a courtesan and a respected captain on the spirit corps. However, the theme of freedom has a cost comes back, and while she might have everything she wants, none of it is sweet.
#PlotTober

Hammering out all the fun in the fun & games part. I have some general scene ideas but need to work on connecting them and threading through all the subplots. Writing is so much work.
#FirstDraftFall #WriteSky

I love Save the Cat and Story Genius. I'm so character-driven that my external plot will take a hit if I can't reign it in and run wild just on my characters. So both help me stay organized. BUT I'm a firm believer that everyone needs their own process.
#WritingCommunity

I have the same habit, but I think as long as the protagonist is making active decisions, they will have enough agency. ☺️

So we get a glimpse on when she fell in love with alchemy and the antagonist AND we get tension. Sounds like a great opening!

Supposedly, they were “broken up,” but they didn’t seem like finished business. Rewind watched them with glistening eyes in a stone face when Gemmi wasn’t flirting with him, instead. “Reeeeewind, I like your hair today!” Gemmi giggled as she tousled it, leaned in toward his face, then scrambled off. “Ooooo, let’s see those LEGS!” she’d screech as she yanked down his saggy pants, smacked his butt, and grabbed him from behind. “Do I have anything on my shirt?” she would ask, as she’d push her boobs up while walking backwards in front of him. Rewind blushed and chuckled at these harassments. Glitch would jump into the middle. “Aw, c’mon, those CHICKEN legs??” “Yeah, looks like you dribbled on yourself, Gemmi!”

Gemmi needs all eyes on her.
