Odysseus spun, which placed him an inch from Achilles, who was momentarily shocked into silence as Odysseus bared down on him, breath slightly heavy from the intense dance, and speaking just loud enough for Achilles to hear. “If you wanted to talk we could have stayed at the booth. Be a good boy for once and dance.” “Yeah okay...” Achilles breathed in sharply, cheeks turning pink, and the two continued to dance until the DJ ended their last song, and spoke through an intercom. “Alright party people, I’ve warmed you up enough! Hope you’re ready for some godly performances we have ready for you tonight! Now get ready to rock the night away with our first band, Khoshek’s Kittens!” Achilles and Odysseus, as well as the rest of the dancers, stopped to look up for the announcement, breathing heavy.

As the two returned, Euphemia gave Odysseus a metal clanking slow clap. “That was pretty impressive, lordling. How’d you get so good at our low born dances?” “I merely copied what Achilles was doing.” Odysseus shrugged, downing the remnants of his drink.

I saw "Misery" last night, base on Stephen King's book.
The scene that hurt me the most is the grill scene.
That hurt my #author soul. Everything about it pissed me off.

But the grill scene hurts more. #writimg #horror

I know ur characters can look however in ur books but my character design ideas tend to be a bit extravagant esp for fantasy... I have questions so I'll use fire emblem characters for example.. how would u describe these looks in a novel? 🤔 #writersky #writingcommunity #writimg

To say I'm a bit bummed by the editing process is an understatement.

310 characters that I'm putting in the bin because I'm not especially happy with the concept. Still got the practice in.

Started on chapter thirty-two of In the Dark today.

Trauma therapy continues. I'm not having panic attacks at this point, which is nice, but EMDR is exhausting. I didn't expect to be so tired! Still, healing is happening. Writing is happening. I am good. #writer #editing #writimg

Cozy sci-fi novel. a courier service across mountains and desert. Based in a small town.
Do I have the main character be running the post office or be one of the couriers that rides a giant lizard? I'm thinking the former. Bit more day to day
