“Hey, what’s the matter? Are you lost, kiddo?” The elf asked, glancing over her. His honey-brown eyes caught sight of her hand and widened. “Kire-kire, that’s a nasty scrape!”

A drawing of Lysander, Seri, and Inarora meeting for the first time. Inarora's on her butt and her grandfathers are knelt and crouched beside her, looking on with worry.

#WIPSnips I'm too tired to make a comment but yes there is a lot of social and political commentary in Inarora's Excursion lol.

#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Inarora'sExcursion
Between Kaedan’s back pain and lack of sleep, all he wanted to do at that moment was to crawl into bed and pass out under a mound of blankets. Perhaps snuggle his old plushie bear. Something to get his mind off of the horrible case. It was chilling to think that humans thought it would be okay to attack a diplomat, let alone someone based on their species! Okay, Kaedan, don’t think about it. You’ll work yourself up again, and that is the last thing you need right now.

#WIPSnips trying to get one in for the week at least. It's been a week lol. Anyway, a mischievous Gay Grandpa to bless your timeline.

#WriteSky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity #Inarora'sExcursion
“Fair enough, I suppose.” Grandpa Lysander set his pencil down on the table and flipped his notebook shut. A twinkle of mischief flickered in his eyes again and a wide grin crossed his face when Sutari looked back at Grandpa again. Sutari pressed his lips together and narrowed his eyes. Yet, the smile never faded from Grandpa’s face, and Sutari gave a light shake of his head. Inarora giggled at them.

#WIPSnips I don't use 'scene' too terribly much, and this was the best one I had lol. #WriteSky #Inarora'sExcursion #WritingCommunity
To distract himself, Kaedan watched the scenery pass by. Homes and businesses lined the side of the hard, dirt road. They were buildings mostly made of red or white brick, with others here and there built with stone or concrete siding. All of the buildings were lit with a warm glow from the porch lights and street lamps in the early dawn.

Make hand made art in the style of Studio Ghibli, not steal their work to make yourself feel like an art. Fuck xAI.

#ArtSky #Inarora’sExcursion #OCSky
A drawing of Inarora in the style of studio ghibli in a sketchbook, done with alcohol marker and colored pencil. Her name is next to her in katakana reading イナロラー. A white gel pen was used to write her name and make stars.

#WIPSnips sorry for the lack of snips lately. Busy as fuuuuuck. Anyway didn't have TODAY'S word so did yesterday's instead.

Kaedan's back actually protests everything he does tbh. Bc how dare he do shit lol.

#WriteSky #Inarora'sExcursion #WritingCommunity #AmWriting
Kaedan’s back protested as he hauled his father to his feet. Dad groaned and hissed against the exertion. For a brief moment, Kaedan thought his father would fall backwards and take Kaedan with him. However, Dad corrected his balance and Kaedan was able to drag him into the chair. Dad dropped into it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just doing some writing at work, rewriting a scene entirely and making it different. I decided to take out one scene bc I didn’t vibe with it in my story anymore and I’m liking this a bit more.

Lysander deserves to ramble. As a treat.

#Inarora’sExcursion #WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
A photo of my ipad open on a keyboard case, with a Kakashi figurine standing on the keyboard. There is a long wall of text on the tablet, indicating someone hard at work. Allegedly. Though maybe not entirely true since I’m writing up the alt text and making this post LOL.

#WritingPrompt DID SOMEONE SAY GAY GRANDPAS????

The very much front and center gay couple. I love them so fucking much. I could gush about them for days. They’re Inarora’s great-grandfathers, and we meet them in the past when Lysander’s still alive!

#Inarora’sExcursion
A drawing of Seri and Lysander holding hands with red spider lilies surrounding them. They are gaxing lovingly into each other’s eyes. Seri and Lysander holding hands while taking a walk together, and Lysander has his cane. They are both smiling. Lysander and Seri dancing on their back porch together, and both are wearing simple kimono.

Realizing that I’ve been actively working on Inarora’s Excursion, writing, re-writing, editing, now cycling back again for like 4 years now. But the very FIRST draft was from 2016.

Holy shit, Ina’s Excursion is almost 10 yrs old.

#WIPSnips Early bit of prose for my WIP! I've been enjoying adjusting the worldbuilding in this book and I don't think I fixed this part up as much as other parts tho.

#Inarora'sExcursion #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding
An airship rumbled overhead, likely on its way to procure the next shipment from Vininsia beyond the Torobi Mountain Chain. End’oria relied heavily on imports for fresh produce due to their harsh, cold climate with over eighty percent of the year experiencing sub-freezing temperatures. With the mountains on one side and oceans on the other, airships were better suited to the task.

#WIPSnips more Byron, apparently! LOL. We love Byron tho. He tries his best.

#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AmWriting #Inarora'sExcursion
Byron needed to calm down. Come on, Byron. Stop overthinking this. Intel will find her. That’s what they’re supposed to do. Yet, anxiety clawed at him. He knew full well what they did with his father’s murder investigation—stall, hinder, even outright ignore it. Why would they help him and Kaedan—direct relatives of Lysander Beservera, who almost published the book that would have paint the Council, Intel, and the Naa’ran in a negative light?

#WIPSnips Great-Grandpa Lysander and Inarora bonding over music 🥰

#Inarora'sExcursion #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writer
“I wish I could hear that kind of music, it sounds really nice.” Grandpa Lysander sighed. “Alas, I don’t think that exists yet.” He moved the stylus back to the outside rings and let it play. Inarora twitched her ears with interest as heavy beats started dropping. “Is this…” She tilted her ears. “Madadk Gahihwen?” Grandpa Lysander beamed. “Yes! The heaviest rock band we’ve got in this era.” “That’s so cool,” Inarora remarked. “They’re nowhere near as popular as they are in this time, but they still are kinda around. Sometimes Daddy plays it.”

#WIPSnips poor Ina. She needs a hug.

#AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Inarora'sExcursion
Late morning sunlight slanted through the window, illuminating the room. At first, she was confused, briefly not recalling that she was in the past. When she woke up earlier that morning, it had barely registered. Now, seeing the room illuminated and properly awake, she remembered where she was. Her body weighed heavily as the realization set in: last night wasn’t a nightmare. It was real.

Trudging along. Gotta break chapter 5 up into 2-3 chapters too, even more fun lol.

“...your nine-year-old son is my grandpa Byron. You’re both my great-grandpas, but you won’t really be my great-grandpas until 400 when I was born. I’m Inarora, your great-granddaughter," Inarora Beservera, #Inarora'sExcursion

A drawing of Lysander knelt with his cane, Seri, and Inarora's first meeting in Inarora's Excursion. She's back on her butt, Seri is crouched on the other side of her. It's snowing and it's dark/cloudy outside.

First line of prose vs first line of dialogue!

#WritingPrompts #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Inarora'sExcursion
Twelve-year-old eathys Inarora picked up her favorite satin doll—Sally, the baby elf—from the couch and rubbed the back of its onesie on her face. She scoffed and grinned upon her triumph. “Yeah! That’s what you get for attacking ME, you asinine mossball!” Inarora exclaimed. “Don’t pick fights with a red sorcerer who’s ten levels higher!”

Not the most like emotionally devastating part but this is what I've got so far. And I almost cried writing it lmao

#WritingPrompt #Inarora'sExcursion
Goosebumps crawled up Kaedan’s arms as he remembered kneeling with Grandpa, hugging him while he bled, begging him to stay. Kaedan cried as he called the authorities on his clunky phone, and Grandpa watched Kaedan in a daze as he bled out. Grandpa spoke to him in a jumble of words, but the thing he understood and still remembered to that day was Grandpa holding his hand to Kaedan’s face and saying, “I love you so much, Kaedan” before he lost consciousness.

#WIPSnips I didn't have 'candy' but I have 'chocolate'!

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #OCSky #Inarora'sExcursion
“Here you go, sweetheart,” Sutari insisted. “Eat some chocolate. It’ll give you some energy.”  Seems legit. “Okay.” She took the first chocolate truffle and unwrapped it, putting it in between her teeth to break it in half. Half of the shell fell into her mouth, and she swished her tail as she chewed the creamy center. Warmth flooded over her: the taste of chocolate brought her a slight joy. “Mm! The same as in my time.”

Since I’m gonna post short stories to itch io, I figure, I might as well make the covers for them! So here’s the first story’s cover!

#ArtSky #OCSky #Eathyns #Inarora’sExcursion #Fathers #Children #WheelchairUser #Amputation
A digitally hand drawn cover made for itch.io. It features Kaedan in his wheelchair, Inarora as a little one standing next to him, a young girl with a mess of curly hair making an excited pose and grinning, and a man next to her chilling in a chair drinking coffee. The man has an amputated tail and what looks to be a prosthetic on his left leg.
