This excerpt from my Masshole vampires monstrosity is all about regret, homicide, and boy math.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Screenshot of a word document that reads: “What you did to Townes was fucked up. You know that, right?” Keir shrugged. “Kind of low on the list of fucked up shit I’ve done. You learn to let it go.” He slapped the turn signal, eyes on the road. “Especially when you’ve been alive for a while. The more time you spend worrying about the past the less time you have to do anything about it.” Esper crossed her arms. “How old are you?” “I was born in 1932. So that makes me… uh, I dunno, bad at math.” “Oh my god, you’re in your nineties?” Esper covered her mouth, fighting back a wave of revulsion. “You are so old!” “Oh, that’s the part that freaks you out? Not the vampire part?” He counted off items with his fingers splayed out against the steering wheel. “Or the super spy part? The part where I exploit and occasionally murder people for a living?” “All of it!” Esper rubbed her temples. “All of it is freaky, Keir.”

Another excerpt from my vampires vs. Massholes WIP. Are they fighting or are they flirting? Honestly with people from Boston the difference is rhetorical
#writingcommunity #writingprompts
Screenshot of a word document that reads: “Lawrence!” Nia smacked his shoulder. “What the hell?” “You’re gonna be saying that a lot if you keep dating my brother,” Keir said with a smirk. “He’s insufferable.” “You’re not helping, Keir.” Lawrence winced, coughing. “I’m sorry, Nia. I don’t know what else to do.” “I could start helping,” Keir said. “If you tell me why you decided to help my shitty handler instead of turning her in like I assume you were supposed to. This one,” Keir pointed vaguely at Lawrence. “Just loves doing what he’s told.” “I can’t tell if you’re being gross or not, but either way, stop,” Esper said. “It’s distracting.” “Honey, even I can’t tell if I’m being gross or not,” Keir replied, wiggling his eyebrows at her. From what Nia could see, Esper was not impressed.

once again my WIP is Masshole townies vs. vampires. Don't worry, this guy is about to get kicked in the face
Screenshot of a word document which says: She glared at him. Too angry to scoff. “Okay Dracula, you’re a vampire. And I’m out. For real this time.” Nia was about to reach for the door again when something flickered out of the corner of her eye. It activated something primal in her, an instinct that told her she was in danger. Nia’s body froze. Slowly, as if being very still could keep her safe, she scanned Lawrence, searching for whatever it was that had set off alarm bells. The first thing she saw was his hand. His fingernails, which had been neat and blunt before, had extended into steely, talonlike points. Razor-sharp. Lawrence’s knuckles were white where he gripped his knee, as if he was restraining himself. Nia kept searching, eyes drawn upward. Lawrence’s eyes were wide, the pupils dark and deep. Like a cat about to pounce. Or maybe something larger than a cat. But that wasn’t the worst of it. No, the worst part was the two fangs peeking out from the corners of Lawrence’s mouth. His lips parted revealing a row of teeth, jagged and white as a shark’s.

Masshole townies vs. vampires and as of chapter 15 the vampires are winning.
Screenshot of a WIP which reads: “So are we going on the run? Because if we are, I need to pack.” Townes was already making a mental list of everything that she’d have to fit into her suitcase. Makeup kit, selfie stick, coordinating outfits. “We should hide somewhere warm. Cuba’s warm, right?” “We’re not going to Cuba,” Esper said as she reached the car. “And why the hell did you take my bat?” Townes rolled her eyes. “You got to use it last time.” “It’s my bat!” “It’s your shitty dad’s bat.” Townes hit the unlock button on her keychain. “Anyway, what are we gonna do about Nia? She’s not gonna want to run away with us after our attempted kidnapping.”

This is how my dog looks at me after I've fed him dinner.

I imagine this is what it must feel like to be some sort of god who has blessed the crops after a long winter.

meanwhile, at Cuomo HQ:
a photo from the viral "Willy's Chocolate Experience" event that was a notorious failure: the photo is of a woman in a green wig standing in front of a poorly-hung black sheet. She has a table with haphazard "lab equipment". There is a fog machine seemingly pointed at her. Her expression is exhausted. The overall effect is both underwhelming and embarassing

Text over a haunted forest which reads: Excerpt - With surprising gentleness, Roma lifted Haze’s bound wrists. With one swipe of her claw, she cut through the ropes, without leaving even a scratch on Haze’s skin. Haze flexed her fingers, tingling but otherwise fine. Without the focus that life-or-death stakes brought, it was hard to think, but they weren’t in the clear yet. “What about the other hunters?” “Dead.” Roma shrugged. “They would not surrender.” Haze accepted this without comment, though it made her blood run cold to talk about death so callously. “What about the other wolf, the one you were with?” “There is a Pack a few miles from here. I sent Ronan to warn them when we scented the hunters.” Her face softened. “I needed to make sure they were safe before I came back for you. I am sorry for the delay.” Haze swallowed. “You shouldn’t have come back for me at all.” To Haze’s surprise, Roma snorted. “I am very sorry for saving your life.” An arrow pointing at Clarke and Lexa from The 100 which says "sapphic enemies to situationship". Beneath it is a promo image from Teen Wolf with an arrow pointing to it which says "irreverent approach to werewolves & witches" Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Haze Luna. Biracial (Mexican & White) Nerdy ADHD / Neurodiverse Rep Body Positive Plucky Heroine Curious Bookworm Stubborn When the war between witches and werewolves reaches a dangerous peak Haze must choose between newfound love and her duty to her people. There is a silhouette of a plus size woman wearing a witchy hat beside the text. Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Roma.

Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Wolfsbane and Witch Hazel by Shannon Lippert 87k words Teen Wolf meets The L Word in this New Adult Queer Romantasy Haze is a failed witch who’s just blown her best shot at redemption. She has to figure out what’s weakening the connection to magic before her people lose their gifts forever. Which means teaming up with a werewolf, the witches’ mortal enemy, who is either making bedroom eyes or I-want-to-throttle-you eyes at Haze. As the mystery of magic draws Haze closer to her unlikely ally, she discovers a threat to the future of her people. Torn between love and duty, Haze’s choice will determine the future of witches and werewolves alike." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Tropes & themes, Enemies to lovers Grumpy x sunshine Neurodiverse rep Love vs. duty Yearning Power and corruption Forced proximity Slow burn Female rage Emotions vs. stoicism" Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Opening - The ceasefire only meant that no one could draw blood, and Haze found herself cataloging all of the ways she knew how to maim someone without breaking the skin. Gravitational dislocation. Deoxygenation. Simultaneous extremity fractures. Not counting forbidden arts like blood magic, there were sixteen torments in total, one for every step she took between the car and the square, limestone chalk bright against the charred gravel. The scorched remains of a long-abandoned church would not have been Haze’s first choice for a meeting place, but she’d ceded the right to choose to her guests. Why they’d chosen this place, full of sulfur and sorrow, was beyond her. What was the sixteenth card of the major arcana? She should have studied more." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Comps - A Discovery of Witches, forbidden romance & restoring lost magic. Her Majesty's Royal Coven, challenging the status quo. Wolfsong, queer contemporary, overcoming trauma, becoming a leader. The Unbroken, sapphic enemies to situationship, love vs. duty"

Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social arrived! Good timing, I just finished a book. Usually I let my dog decide which one from the pile I'm going to read next. This appears to be Chaz-approved.
A hand holding the book 'Beings' by Ilana Masad - the book cover features a forest lit by a UFO. The book is being sniffed by a beagle, who looks curious.

so for no particular reason I am imagining RFK Jr. falling down an up escalator for 45-95 minutes

my dog sleeps like a creature who knows nothing of politics. the weight on his soul is as flimsy as wet cotton candy. May we all find such untormented moments, snoozing on a bed of dragon blankies.

Sometimes you need to stay up way past your bedtime to finish reading a really good book. No regrets.
