#WIPSnips 1/1: Begin

Nodding as he watched her begin to wander off, walking backwards as they bid each other farewell, Manson called out, “I look forward to it!” - Demons in Dunraven #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 24/11: Debut -> Begin

"He did the photography whilst she wrote the articles. She was a freelancer to begin with, and they were going to try make it big together. But he died before they could really get off their feet..." - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 23/12: Global -> World

“I had to do a research project on the unveiling of the World Train. It was a pretty big deal, since Undercity and Metralo were against the idea for a really long time." - #WitchChild

#NovemberWorldbuilders 24/11:

Again another unnamed couple, but I specifically have in my notes that two Fire peoples settle down and choose to disband the Fire Markets. These people are ultimately Ryder's ancestors #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 22/11: Crystal -> Gem -> Stone

Upon the circular stone embedded into the ground was the same diagram as the one in the Vance study, except the outer ring was decorated with leaf-shaped flame carvings, giving the impression of a badly scaled sunflower in some ways. - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 21/11: Direction

Remembering the town map he’d learned in year seven, Manson was fairly certain which direction they needed to head. #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 20/11: Special

Dunraven wasn’t seen as particularly special on the grand scale of Vivafell, thanks to the current Mayor being in BioMar’s pocket – if you believed what the papers wrote anyway. - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 19/11: Third

Looking down, hidden amongst leaf matter on the ground, was another burn mark, that lined up with a third on a further tree. - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 18/11: Retrograde -> Backwards

Also completely unaware, Jon took this fact like a bullet to the chest, amazed into staggering half a step backwards. - #WitchChild

#WritingQ

In #WitchChild we have;

Ryder: Where am I? Is Dad ok? What do I need to do? (He doesn't have mornings, it's whenever he wakes from passing out)

Valerie: Okie dokie time to get up again!

Victor: Fooooooood.....

Manson: I wonder if I have time for a swim...

#NovemberWorldbuilders 18/11:

In #WitchChild Manson is our water MC. He loves to swim in the ocean, and ultimately learns he is a water element.

The Waters of Life are in Aeon City. Manson was born in Metralo and moved to Dunraven.

And yet, somehow... They're connected~

Spoilers! ♡

#WIPSnips 18/11: Burger -> Sandwich

'Sandwich in one hand, and hot chocolate to go in the other, Ryder wandered down the same side of Market Lane as the Hearth and Soul Café, deciding not to cross the major road in the middle just yet.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 17/11: Spend

'Glad that her son was making friends but saddened that she wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with him, Casey was fine with letting Manson stay out.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 16/11: Run

"I know you like to snack, but I might be able to give you a run for your money!" - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 15/11: Progress

"Aware that the altar was working against him, any progress the bookworm made felt like an achievement now, using his opposing element almost out of spite to keep powering through." - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 14/11: Week

'But this would mark the second time in a week that something strange happened, out of his control.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 13/11: Build

'He could feel the well of excitement at using his magic and having things work as he wanted them to build within him, his breaths becoming shorter and his sentences shorter.' - #WitchChild

... That is gonna get rewritten later <.<

#WIPSnips 12/11:

'Retrieving his glasses from the front of his shirt, Manson did his best to dry them and put them on again, clearing up his view a little bit.' - #WitchChild

I have completely edited Chapter 2: The Storm by hand for #WitchChild Demons in Dunraven, and I've updated my 2 out of 13 pages for my draft, but I am far too tired to do proper scene expansions, so I'mma stop here for the day.

Once my chores are done, I am out for the count! 🤞

#NovemberWorldbuilders 11/11:

Ryder's ethics? I suppose he at least starts off with the idea that he has to solve all of his problems on his own. He wants to protect people with magic and make their lives easier so he avoids using it to hurt people as much as he can 🤔

Does that count? #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 10/11:

'Some days Jessica could work from home since she was one of only three local reporters in the Dunraven area, but every Monday an important editorial meeting was held.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 9/11:

'Eyes narrowed behind his glasses, Manson was starting to get an idea of the full picture they were looking at.' - #WitchChild

#NovemberWorldbuilders 9/11:

Blayne, Alistair and Demonus. And out of those only one is the truest of villains... #Vethera

Anyone who reads #WitchChild book 2 (when I finally write it) is gonna be so confused about why I call Blayne a historic villain xD

#WIPSnips 8/11: Little

'His ever-present almost headache was gone, the light didn’t strain his eyes at all, and he no longer felt like he was hearing every little thing around him at double volume.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 7/11: Movement

'There was a silence that filled the room, with not a sound or movement as Victor tried to recall what happened.' - #WitchChild

#WIPSnips 6/11: Penultimate -> Final

'As the Wind Whisperer, Anil heard many things over the thousands of years he’d been alive. It was his final connection to the world, and therefore he felt it was important to hold on to.' - #WitchChild

A poorly focused image of a note page and a typed page. It is chapter 1 Page 1 of Witch Child: Demons in Dunraven, written by myself and undergoing its first major edits.

I write in dark mode, so I'm finding out what editing in portable light mode is like!

Somehow this is working better than ANY time I ever studied and it's the same principles 🤔

#WIPSnips 5/11:

Gesturing towards an ancient marker, made of bark and beads that hung from a tree by the road, Ryder indicated where the trail started. “Now we go across country. The path is a little tricky to follow, but thousands of years haven’t worn away marks of the past yet.” - #WitchChild

Another company today! Metralo Media Megacorp, or MMM or Triple M for short, use the colour purple for their branding. They own 90% of media outlets worldwide and are basically the #Vethera version of Google. #WitchChild features MMMaps for example instead of google maps
