Editing: NEON DREAM IN A VENDING MACHINE (hopepunk scifi)
WIP: IN THE LIGHT OF THE SAME SUN (scifi horror)
- Hopepunk Cyberpunk 2077 x Mike Chen Jaqs dreams of spacewalking, but illnesses keep her grounded. Joining the mob may be the answer, until she has to decide what she’s willing to give up: her friends, her morals, or her dream—even in a utopia, nothing comes without a price. #QuestPit #A #SFF #Q

- I love giving people their flowers while they're still alive. It's hard to remember to do it in the chaos of life, but people should hear they're doing a good job, or have done something kind, while they are still around to hear it.

- Ocean just a soup of decaying matter.
- I read in a writing group about how readers treat books like dinners. You're not always in the mood for a heavy, complicated dish. Sometimes you want Girl Dinner (TM). And, in this group, authors have found their Girl Dinner books sell better than their Beef Wellington. Much to think about
- used the word stars, an essential thing for this book to work. #writingprompt #writingsnippet #writingcommunity
- Well, fuck.
- The #WIPSnips word for April 23 is "click" Even though we have WIP in our name, it's okay if you share from something you don't currently consider a "work in progress" whether it's a finished draft or even something you've published. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
- At a certain point, writing for yourself is not enough. External validation lets you know someone sees you. Notices you. And points out to the universe, "this here, this is a writer".
- I realized that edits for #NDIAVM are going slow because I am terrified no one will care that it's done. I can deal with it not selling and getting zero reviews, but for the book to be completed and form a void where it once was, where no word from an outside source is utter about it? Depressing

- Here is the mockup I did when I began my edits. I'm not sure I'll keep it, but it captures the book fairly well. #writingprompt #ndiavm
- I mutter to myself, "do a hobby you're bad at they say", as I once again get my queen taken in chess
- Have more Az, who is arguably the best character. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

- I, a person with a special interest in science jargon, have had to learn too much legal jargon due to countries being UTTER TRASH FIRES AND I AM SICK OF IT. I ONLY WANT TO READ ABOUT BLACK HOLES, SPACE GAS, AND INSTRUMENT JARGON. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER COUNTRIES.
- Clicked for the laugh that this caused, stayed for the life advice in the thread.
- Just gonna lean into this harder.
- Me: This chapter really isn't working with how I wrote it. *tinkers with wording and adds awkwardness to MC* Me: Ah, perfect
- The worst lie I’ve told myself while writing this book is that I know what the color chartreuse is. It is not the purple I thought. #writesky #writingcommunity
- Reposted by Vivian RothI see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

- It's incredibly difficult to get back into it, usually because the energy that goes towards writing has gone to something else. Trying to wrangle that energy back to writing is like redirecting a river. Possible, but difficult. #SpoonieAuthChat
- Them: Viv, please describe your MCs nicely Me: hmm, no. "She’s jaw-dropping gorgeous, and a far cry better than my bagged skeleton cloaked in a chartreuse sequined number" #writingsnippet #writesky #writingcommunity
- Lemme tell you. Real hard to read my space science stuff when space science may not exist next year. Real fucking hard.
- lmao, it just keeps going.
- FUCKING THIS
- Az is Jaqs' personal robot and companion. He's one of my favorite characters to write because in his different forms I had to figure out how he would communicate. This shows one way. #wipsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
- My whole book takes place in autumn and winter, so unfortunately all I have is this bit from the opening pages. #writingprompt #writesky
- buy my friend's book
- In a book about feeling frozen in a body that no longer works the same way, this is my only passage with the word chill. #WIPSNIPS #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity
- Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The #WIPSnips word for April 14 is "chill" #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity
- My favorite thing is to send people memes at 3am (no timezone).
