An earthbound angel who in her current human lifetime has to pass herself off as a normal teenager is in trouble with her celestial bosses. From my new #WIP, sorry if this is rough. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

All good (at this point) as Corin enters the nerve centre of the VR simulation she's been gifted a ticket to. From "Artificial Life" #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Welcome to the opening of Mirror Me, just after the inciting incident. Ella thought she had a new start but it's taken a very dark turn. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Corin's prize of a weekend in a VR simulation of her favourite show comes with even more than she had imagined. From "Artificial Life" #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Didn't think I had "battery" but it was in my new #WIP. Here we're in the POV of the angel who's been assigned to keep an eye on the troublesome girl incorrectly beamed in from a parallel world. Unfortunately she's lost her. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Going with "prison". In Artificial Life, Corin ends up in a fabricated pyschiatric institution after complaining she can't get out of a VR simulation. Not a good weekend. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Although I don't have any dungeons in my stories, I had a few references to prison, which I'm calling close enough. Here, in Mirror Me, the liberation of the clones may be in sight. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

The old handclap escape hatch from a malfunctioning VR simulation is another thing that's gone awry. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips "safe" #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

With a rogue clone in the house, time to hide all sharp objects. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips "safe" #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

From my new #WIP, being stuck in an alternate universe brings new meaning to the idea of "missing". #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Things have gone badly amiss by this point in Corin's VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Back to the inciting incident in Mirror Me when Ella is arrested for a murder committed by her male clone doppelganger. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Being treated to a free VR experience of an iconic show is bound to get backlash from some quarters. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Didn't have any hibernating in my books, but in my VR adventure there's a plan to rat out a guy hiding in his parents' basement with a stolen swimming trophy. A stretch but it'll do! #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Received some great feedback on my VR/AI-gone-wrong story from a trusted CP that it was "twisty, turny, creepy, but really good for a dark scifi story". Between drafting and querying my other projects - both trying in different ways - it's a nice pick-me-up! #WritingCommunity

A river plays a key role in my new #WIP. My MC is having an illicit interaction with her alternate universe counterpart and we also get some insights into her character. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I had a literal bear! Is being committed to a mental institution the lowest point of Corin's VR simulation? Maybe, maybe not. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I didn't have "swift" anywhere in three books. Must have been tailored that way. In its absence I'm going with "quick," in a scene from my new #WIP where a battle is going down between two versions of the same girl from different realities. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I didn't think I had any "mire" but here it is in my new #WIP. After being stranded in a parallel universe, Sassia is guided to a safe house by an angel assigned to the case. But will she stay out of sight? #WIPSnips #amwriting

At this point, Corin still thinks she'll get out of her simulation, so even though it's been a shit show she's feeling more sanguine. #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

I felt like leaving the beaten track and going off piste for today's #WIPSnips prompt of "leave" so I went with "leaves" for the opening of my new. #WIP. Here our MC is waking up in an alternate universe after a very fuzzy night. #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

For today's #WIPSnips we find Ella getting a makeover as her own male clone from her best friend. #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm feeling good vibes - I only queried 10 days ago, she promises to read quick and already has editorial suggestions.

Ella is a victim of a crime of having her former DNA stolen but that has led to her being accused. Thankfully a trans rights-specialising lawyer steps in. From Mirror Me #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Just got my first ever full request from an agent! After a long tough haul in the trenches, this is just the lift I needed. #amquerying #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I had "yard" as part of some Americana when Corin goes on a road trip in her VR adventure. From Artificial Life #WIPSnips #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

From my new #WIP, this is the sapphic moment that leads to my MC's undoing, but the suspicion is it's a setup. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #writingcommunity
