Something wet and warm splattered against his cheek, he winced at the feel of it but forced himself to remain still and forward facing even as the man that had been kneeling beside him gurgled and collapsed forward into the dirt and into Everett’s view. Blood pooled around the man’s twitching form. One golden hoof stepped back before the widening puddle could mar it’s perfect sheen then the unicorn was standing in front of Everett. He stilled, remembering Manannan’s words. Do not move. Do not speak. Do not look her in the eye. She lowered her head until her horn rest on top of his shoulder, her head blocking his view of the body beside him. A fine splattering of red dotted her white coat and he realized then why the stories of old had told not of a white unicorn but of a red horse. -- Jae Arden

Writers block has lifted. Writing has recommenced. Not the project I should be working on but words are flowing again so progress.

A line from Book 1 (working Title: Iron & Ivy):

“Not one actual lie. Just truth shaped like a blade, hidden until it struck.”

Varkkot rubbed one hand over his beard. "For as miserable as she has been, in her good moments I see a lot of familiar traits. Mine and yours. She almost feels like a daughter to me. Odd, considering I've not known her long."

Hi. I bring you an excerpt from Stanza!!!

The opening paragraph of Awaken, My Love.
Astaire told me this is the way the novel should start but I resisted because it felt too similar to another book I love. He demanded it though and who am I to deny Astaire anything?

Can you guess the opening it's similar too?

“Varlen loved his father. More than Asrim loved him.” You take another drink. You neither know nor care how strong the alcohol is. Maybe it will burn the memories of Varlen from your mind.

The vampire’s eyes glowed like cold stars in an otherwise empty night. She was too far away to make them out in detail, but they seemed to shift in colour occasionally, from silver to lilac and back again. Halla had mentally prepared herself for the inevitability that he was beautiful. The primer had stated such in a very academic, clinical way, as beauty was a trait of all the Fey. So it was easy for her to dismiss the fluttering in her chest and the mild heat that was summoned to her cheeks at laying her eyes on him. It was definitely him. There was no mistaking him. ‘Eldarin.’

Halla the monster hunter sets eyes on her newest prey for the first time.

GOG doesn't have any so i had to go look in this prequel/backstory thing i wrote about the main ghost in GOG, salem. aptly titled "The Bone Coffin" lol

Transcript: "That's not-" He choked on his words, falling out of step with her before shuffling back. Sputtering, he said, "That liquid death you chugged must've gone straight to your brain." It had for him at least, because his thoughts wavered like rippling water as he fought to keep his composure. Rin laughed, the faint discomfort of her comment fading beneath her buzz. "That's sorta the point of drinking, isn't it?" His shoulders hiked up as he jammed his hands further into his pockets, though he was already losing hold of his embarrassment. "So then what's the point of this walk?" "Hmmm… Guess that depends. I'm nothing if not a gracious host, so the least I can do is offer my guest a say in the matter." Seiji grinned at her mock seriousness. "You're fucking weird, y'know that?" That strange something about her snaked its way past his walls again and slithered right into his chest. He found he rather liked it there, curled up within the warmth of alcohol and his empty heart.

Finally making some headway on my WIPs again! I'm finding that I like writing mildly-drunken banter.

Text on a rainbow background that reads: "Very! A lack of Vitamin C could end with death! Would you like to die due to a vitamin deficiency? We're pirates, do you know how embarrassing that would be? We would be the worst band of space pirates in history! They'd put us in history books to laugh at us!"

Text on a rainbow background that reads: Kolgo thought back to the amount of food they'd seen just stored in boxes, but knowing Jordan would complain about how they'd all be having so many health risks due to lack of whatever was missing, decided to continue with the starvation route.

Been writing a story with a friend of mine, the first chapter is still in the writing phase, but I wanted to share some of what we wrote!
It's a more comedic story set in a grim world.

This is some of what I've written.

Outlined text over a dark blue ocean. The horizon is obscured by fog. The text reads: From the See Fret. Somewhere, deep in my subconsciousness, the feeling of home mixes with saltwater and brine. Frothing ocean waves, bitter wind, and the cold privacy of an ever-present fog. A language I don’t quite know all the words to is trying to tell me something. It says my name like a prayer. It feels like a calling.

This is my favourite quote in all of my WIP "From the Sea Fret". I just wanted to show it the love it deserves

A note app screenshot that reads: Morgan and Risk Pt. 1 The sight before Morgan was as impressive as it was terrifying. An entire pirate fleet, devastated, reduced to nothing more than chunks of wood and metal sinking between the monsters massive coils. He felt his stomach turn as he watch the leviathan start plucking what unlucky humans had survived from the water, downing them in quick gulps, not granting them even the curtesy of at least chewing. Morgan closed his eyes and took in a long shaky breath, *so*, he thought to himself, *this was the monster his kingdom employed for their safety.*

How would y’all like a rare writing snippet?
