I don't know why, but I tend to be nice to my characters when it comes to sleep. Everyone gets an adequate number of hours each night.

I mean, mostly.

Stuff does go wrong in the dark hours.

Screaming.
All I can hear is screaming. Distant, far away. But still so loud. Shut up. Shut up.
It's me. I'm the one screaming.
Shut up.
I can feel my body moving, muscles expanding and contracting, strong and weak all at once.
"Clem?" Red's voice is too loud. A bass drum
thrumming in my bones, vibrations that I can feel throughout my entire body.
Shut up.
Something is ripping me apart. Metal slicing my bones, my muscles, my organs. Poking holes in my lungs. Draining the air out of me like letting go of an inflated balloon, watching it dance around the room before falling still and deflated to the floor.
There's nothing but chaos, as if even the perfect systems of my body are rewriting themselves, rows of DNA scrambling and twisting. Acid instead of blood in my veins. Eating holes in my bones.
And then nothing.
No more pain. No more chaos. Just a vague
and fragile sense of peace.
Am I the one feeling it, or is it Wright's
feelings bleeding into me?
I don't know.
I'm awake now. I see Red. All of him. Every
pore in his face stands out, like thousands of tiny needles. I can see the fine hairs on his chin catching the light. His eyes aren't just blue anymore. There's an entire spectrum of color. Green and blue and pertect grey.

The #WIPsnips word for today is #vibrate. Didn’t have that, but I did have #vibration, which is close enough I think lol. This is the scene where Cainen gives up control to Wright. I might rework it later, but for now,
here it is lol.

A sneak peek into our greenhouse!

@satori.insights and I created this greenhouse using a broken canopy frame and some up-cycled plastic sheeting. We used a heat gun to meld the plastic sheeting together.

We get a clear picture of this cruel dystopian setting, but less clear image of the main character and their goal.

Filter this cool setting through your main character's perspective to make this universe (and the stakes) more personal, draw readers in.

When you have creatures that purr, you get spoiled for choice with the word "vibrate."

Here, Gielle's first attempts at "speaking" with Irif aren't quite aligning with her mentor's descriptions. 😉

Gielle would rather walk over hot coals than ask someone - even a close friend - for help.

Partly because she's been taught to be independent. Mostly because she's afraid of looking weak or incompetent.

White text on a black background. The word original is highlighted in green.

"Okay. Let's go back to the beginning. Hi. My
name is Wright."
Next thing you know I'll have you on one
shoulder and Left on the other.
"Ha, ha. Very original. No one has ever made
that joke before."
What are you, Wright?
"Think of me like... a hitchhiker. You're the
car that happened to pick me up."
And I can't drop you off, can I?
"Unfortunately not. You're stuck with me. I'm
stuck with you."
Until I die. That's what Nicole was saying.
"Yeah."

Today’s #WIPsnips word is #original. Pretty sure I’ve posted this snippet before, but it’s a funny one. Wright (immortal parasite) finally introduces himself.

How to Write a Query Letter That Gets Manuscript Requests | Jane Friedman The query letter has one purpose, and one purpose only: to seduce the agent or editor into reading or requesting your work. You can learn the formula.

16 #YA #C #10Queries #RevPit

Great opening scene buried beneath a much too long query letter.

Should be one page around 350 words total.

Here's a good resource janefriedman.com/query-letters/

😂 My characters are all in desperate need of therapy.

They'd have to go out of the story to find someone capable of wrangling their trauma.

Detecting the knock-offs requires a specialized eye, typically found among those who manufacture and use them.

Not something the Senate approves of as YelNi and Maris are "lesser" planets.
