DAT #GOT HANGOVER THO. . . Well I’m glad I have the #storysnippetschallenge to look forward to this week because I am majorly depressed after the series finale of #GameofThrones. Anyway, this post isn’t for wallowing. Meet my #WIP MC, Stephanie Silverstein! . . #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerlife #iwriteya #writewritewrite #authorgram #yaauthor #writergram #writingquotes #writingtips #writinganovel #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #bujo #bulletjournal #bulletjournalinspo #meetthemaincharacter

Traveling for the next 16 hours on a plane ✈️ but I didn’t want to miss out on finishing up the #StorySnippetsChallenge! Below is my current #themestated (said to my MC by a character my betas are loving!) & then I combined my #excitingmoment and #fundialogue in one passage where my pixie pirate MC & her crew are in the midst of a crazy storm! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ALSO! Make sure to follow the leaders of this fabulous challenge (tagged them in my photo!) because they have more fun challenge ideas coming up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #THEMESTATED: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “But sometimes strength can be weakness, and weakness can be strength. You have a different kind of strength. I know it. And someday, you will too.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #EXCITINGMOMENT & #FUNDIALOGUE: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the sea only became angrier, her waves growing bigger and bigger as if daring us to proceed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “It’s the Numa!” my crew began to call out over the winds as they ran back and forth, doing all they could to keep the storm from pulling out little ship apart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “They must not want us to capture this ship!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “What if it’s cursed?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I shook my head. They were my crew, but they were a superstitious rabble, the lot of them. Sure, even I’d admit the Silver Sea acted as though it had a will of her own. But at least we could see the sea. The Numa were a different story entirely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We are not turning this ship around because of some mystical beings! They’re just a bunch of fairytales parents tell their sprites to keep them from misbehaving!” I called back to them resolutely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “And do you know why they call them ‘fairytales’?” They gave me a blank stare. “Because fairies don’t have tails!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One puck raised his hand in protest but I pointed my sword in his direction, already knowing what he would say. “Changelings don’t count, Maeve!” Dropping his hand, his shoulders drooped as he continued to pull the sail before him, taut against the winds. • • • #writingchallenge #writersofinstagram #writerlife #igauthor #writergram #writergirl #yaauthor #yafantasy #yafantasyauthor #iwriteya #amwriting #iamwriting #bookflatlay #flatlay #flatlayoftheday #harrypotter #typewriter

Hope to see you there!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY SNIPPET: Another cannon fired and I laughed again, cackling into the night. Listening to its sound, I reveled knowing that mine was a laugh many throughout Faylan had grown to hate and even fear. “If only they could somehow put my laugh on the wanted posters,” I smiled to myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the years, I had perfected the art of hiding my face from all but the pirate fleet. Whether I was aided by a plaster mask, painted features, or my trusty hooded tunic, I was a shadow in the night – now known as Shade, Menace of the Five Provinces... • • • #writingchallenge #writerschallenge #fantasyworld #highfantasy #fantasybooks #fantasybook #epicfantasy #yafantasy #amwriting #ilovewriting #yaauthor #yafantasyauthor #iwriteya #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #igauthor #writergram #writergirl #authorgram #writersofbookstagram #authorsrock #womenwriters #femalewriters #womenwhowrite #writingcommunity

Hey hey! I know I didn't post yesterday and I'm a bit sorry for that but I'm very excited to say that I've hit 4,000 followers today! Thank you so much for this! I'm thinking of doing a giveaway but I'm not sure what to do or what I could afford. Any ideas, comment below! On another note, for #storysnippetschallenge I'm going yo post yesterday's and just act like I'm with them. Today is #themestated I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure what this is fully but I posted what I felt with a good place in my story where this might be happening. I will say, Raziel, the character Michael is talking to, is not a fan favorite but he plays his part well. Have a great writing day! #authorsofinstagram #writinginspiration #writing #tkth #thekeytohell #writeeverything #writingcommunityofinstagram

It’s Day 2 of #StorySnippetsChallenge! Today is #TeaserTuesday so I decided to share a few lines from my WIP #ProjectFairyFantasy that a bunch of my beta readers said they really enjoyed! My pixie pirate MC is in her messy quarters after a stormy battle at sea... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY SNIPPET: “Today most of my weapons and costumes lay scattered about the room as if a vicious battle had been waged there but the bodies had somehow disappeared. Carefully stepping over props and swords as if trying to honor the unseen corpses, I finally reached my desk and began sifting through the mess of maps that covered it...” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think Want to learn more about my MC? Check out my post from yesterday and don’t forget to share your snippets by joining the challenge too! • • • #writerschallenge #writingchallenege #bookflatlay #flatlay #flatlayoftheday #typewriter #handlettering #writersbulletjournal #bulletjournallove #Bujo #fantasyworld #highfantasy #fantasybooks #fantasybook #yafantasy #amwriting #iamwriting #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #authorsofinstagram #igauthor #writergram #writergirl #authorgram #writersofbookstagram #authorsrock #femalewriters

As my beta readers are finding out, I LOVE worldbuilding (maybe a bit too much? ) so I’m excited that for the #StorySnippetsChallenge Challenge today, we’re sharing some #SettingSetup for our stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My WIP #ProjectFairyFantasy takes place in a world ruled by five fairy clans at odds, but we first meet my pixie pirate MC at odds with the magical world itself. I want the fairy world to feel alive, almost like it is a character all on its own, thus the following story snippet! ... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY SNIPPET: The evening had started out promising, the Silver Sea quiet and unassuming. Almost too quiet. Like the sea herself had a secret she wanted to keep from me. But the sea, like a lady scorned, could not be quiet for long. As the sun had slowly dipped down behind the towering mountains in the distance, her waters quickly grew restless. And it seemed she had even convinced dark clouds to snuff out the moons and stars who usually were so kind to light our way. “Well played,” I thought to her with a smirk. “But you have only aided our cause.” • • • #writerschallenge #writingchallenge #igbooks #igreads #instareads #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #booklove #bookish #bibliophile #amreading #bookworm #booknerd #readersofig #goodreads #amwriting #iamwriting #creativewriting #novelwriting #writingcommunity #writerscorner #writersnetwork #writersworld #readwriteunite #yaauthor #yafantasy #iwriteya

Announcing a different kind of #WritingChallenge for June! ・ Writing challenges have been a great way to meet other writers and keep my daily writing muscles in shape. But my short attention span is craving something new! ・ Each day for the month of June, I will be making a list of ten things related to my #WIP or #writing in general. ・ Why Ten Things? ・ Credit where due, the idea of ten comes from @altucher and his post, The Ultimate Guide for Becoming an Idea Machine. Read it! (Linked from post in bio.) ・ But to paraphrase, ten things is like maxing out on weights at the gym. If I asked you for ten ideas of books you could write, you could easily write down four or five. But your brain is hardly breaking a sweat! ・ But at six, seven, eight… this is when it gets hard. This is where the magic happens. Push through the fatigue and find out what is hiding the depths of your brain. ・ The ten ideas don’t all have to be good. In fact, some of them will be awful. The ten things don’t need a full explanation, a short list is fine. The point isn’t to create a perfect todo list. The point is to flex your idea muscle and be inspired by what comes out the depths. And to share that list so others can be inspired, as well. ・ So grab your sweat band and join me in the #tenthingschallenge for writers! Who is in ・ #WWFChallenge2019 #AuthorsChallenge2019 #MayWritersChallenge2019 #mwc2019 #FantacyWIPMay #MayLitWrit2019 #RawChallenge #TheWriteClub #HorrorAuthorLoop #LiAnnaInMay #CharacterDevChallenge #LadyKnightMay19 #StorySnippetsChallenge #YouMayBeAWriterIf #WIPandMe #CozyMysteryMay #MyWIPMay2019 #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writer #authorssupportingauthors #litloop

Day 4 of the #storysnippetschallenge is #firstlines. Here’s the opening of my YA contemporary “The Shift” . . This is how I take my revenge. I like it black, no sugar. The stronger the better to keep me sane through the eight-hour shift ahead. My source of sustenance is always whatever jackass customer treated me the worst during my shift the day before, and I always have a hard time choosing between several pieces of human garbage. But today’s target is a clear winner. . . #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerlife #iwriteya #writewritewrite #authorgram #yaauthor #writergram #writingquotes #writingtips #writinganovel #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #bujo #bulletjournal #bulletjournalinspo

Day 3 of #storysnippetschallenge If you don't know, The Key to Hell is based in Astoria, Oregon for the most part. Sure, heaven and hell are thrown in but much of the story takes place in this small historical town. Just because I'm curious, how would you describe the Astoria Column? #writerslife #writinginspiration #writeeverywhere #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity
