Really had to vibe for today's #WIPSnips. Up is a #direction, eh? #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky #Writing

Today's #WIPSnips from a short story about a story-serving restaurant called Cliche's.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Remember when you could play solitaire on windows without having to watch ads for virtual slot games with excessive graphics?

It's a fair question! I can be bought for a standard chocolate chip, but for an oatmeal raisin? Not so much. All cookies are delicious, don't get me wrong. But there are tiers.

Another #WIPSnips from my short story about a support group for people with incredibly niche super powers.

Another #WIPSnips from a short story today. Going with vibes: #spend = pay. I'm hoping to start a new novel by next week. If all goes to plan, I can start snipping from a new source!

It really was!

Thanks Pam! It was a fun, short story. I liked coming up with the niche and useless superpowers haha.

Outlining a novel from scratch is like making your own puzzle pieces and jamming them together until some sort of picture presents itself.

Reading your first draft is like realizing that picture looks like a three-year-old's drawing of the Mona Lisa.

Never underestimate the power of a haunting children's melody...nor the unexpected honk of a goose.

This was a fun little short story to write.

Premise: a support group for people with niche and useless superpowers.

MC: can fry a single egg per day.

Every Maga's response to No Kings: "What a great success! It must have worked, because there are no kings!"

Me, realizing there must have been lots of tea at the Tea Party protests:

This was a fun one to write because I sought out cliches to use, rather than avoid them. It was the point.
