  9. #SundaySnips from a story that's looking for a home—a part of me feels like rewriting it as an Omela inspired story (it's not too far off in concept, and would be a small fix) #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress

  10. Here's the only time I've used “nourishment” in my work, currently a stand alone story (sent for a competition), with a potential to be a much bigger book. if you enjoyed the snip, check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/lucidillus... #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress #AmWriting

  11. The word for #SundaySnips is “yearn” so sharing a piece about an Eldritch God who set out the Four Horsemen, but they weren't meant to attack his precious personal project (just everything else) Read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/136530... #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress

  12. From a story that I wrote some time back, but haven't been able to revisit and edit (I also need to figure out where to send it). So here's an excerpt from “The Gilded Taxidermy” (working title) with the word ‘wither’ for #SundaySnips #WritingCommunity #Writingprompt #Writesky #HQpress #AmWriting

  13. Today's #wss366 prompt word is "drain"--good, yes? So far in the hashtag we have contributions from @kalloway, from @stevendbrewer, from @extraspecialbitter, and from me. I fully expect @tobadzistsini to put in an appearance too (but no pressure 😉)

    Is it too #draining to write a little something today? Or would it perhaps be restorative? Check out the hashtag so far and see if inspiration hits.
