Let’s “sparkle” 💖

#WIPSnips WOTD:

“The railings and room doors were adorned with a fresh coat of maroon paint, and the windows to the lobby sparkled.“

#MakeMeFree #writesky #writingcommunity #authorsky
Snip from my debut novel, MAKE ME FREE: Rolling up to the Sprucedale Inn, Ann noticed the freshly paved, filled parking lot, and the motel that, despite its one-star rating, appeared clean and well-maintained. The railings and room doors were adorned with a fresh coat of maroon paint, and the windows to the lobby sparkled. Huh, this looks cleaner and busier than I thought it would be. Well hell… She then glanced at the clock on her dashboard. 9:30. Shit.

Ann believes her mother abandoned her. So she tries to fit in where she can’t, takes refuge in evangelical ministry, and seeks love from unavailable men.

But what if the story of her mother’s absence is a lie?

#WIPSnips WOTD for today is “chance”:

“Harry makes me feel so good, and this might be my last chance at anything like this since Luke isn’t going along with God’s plan.”

#makemefree #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity #booktok #supportindieauthors
Snippet from my debut novel, MAKE ME FREE: At that moment, the gears began turning in Ann's mind. I want this so bad. Harry makes me feel so good, and this might be my last chance at anything like this since Luke isn't going along with God's plan. Is he really The One? I don't even know anymore. At this point, I doubt God cares...not about me, anyway.

“Famous”-ly, here’s the #WIPSnips WOTD 🖋️📚💙

“My brother was the star athlete, the honor roll student, National Honor Society, the valedictorian and class president, the world-famous scientist.”

#MakeMeFree #writesky #authorsky #weirdgirllit #womensfiction #supportindieauthors #exvangelical
Snippet from MAKE ME FREE: "AC, I wasn't trying to go low. That sucks. But here's what I'm trying to say. I have had to live in my brother's shadow the entire time I've been alive. My brother was the star athlete, the honor roll student, National Honor Society, the valedictorian and class president, the world-famous scientist. The motherfucker pretty much invented GPS. And my parents have always looked at me as a failure. No matter how good my grades were, no matter how well I did in sports or clubs or anything, I was always a fail-ure...because I could never be anywhere as good as my brother. Vet school is my way of showing them that I'm not a failure. I can make my own mark in the world in a way they'll actually respect. See, my parents expect things of me. Doing what I wanna do is not exactly an option."

#writesky #authorsky #makemefree #blackbooksky #indie
Excerpt from my debut litfic novel Make Me Free: On the van during the two-hour trip to Detroit, Ann was forced to endure seeing her crush and her roommate stare at each other dreamily. At the museum, while the other students were studying the artwork and exhibits, she sat on a bench, alone with her intrusive thoughts. Why? How could he lie to me? She must have told him I liked him and then swooped in.

In my novel Make Me Free 🖋️📚💙, characters participate in a fictional evangelical campus ministry called “Christian Kingdom.” While the depiction of evangelicalism here is on the lighter end of the evie scale, even that can prove insidious.

Evangelical-related themes in the literary fiction novel Make Me Free: God-ordained spouses, charismatic testimonies, campus ministry retreats, dating vs. courtship

#WIPSnips WOTD for 4/23 is “click”:

“Slightly embarrassed, she clicked on another tab to hide that one.”

#makemefree #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky #writingprompts #indienovel
Snippet from Make Me Free: “Oh, that’s cool,” Paul then glanced at the monitor and noticed the article. “Reading about Losanti, huh?” Slightly embarrassed, she clicked on another tab to hide that one. “Hmm, a job in Losanti, too,” he called out. Ann blushed. “You know, Paul, it’s not what it looks like. I’m just sorting out my options.”

As it is “written,” THE #WIPSnips WOTD:

“But at the same time, the book is written in a way that assumes that Christian men will focus on women’s physical appearance, and it doesn’t take them to task for that.”

🖋️📚💙

#makemefree #writesky #authorsky #purityculture #exvangelical #weirdgirllit
Snippet from MAKE ME FREE: Ann spun strands of her tightly coiled hair around her index and middle fingers. “Because, the whole point of courtship is that as young Christians, um…we’re prone to making bad decisions on who we’re looking to be with, so we need to have our parents and the church community involved in keeping us accountable and pure until marriage, right?” Everyone nodded. She continued. “But at the same time, the book is written in a way that assumes that Christian men will focus on women’s physical appearance, and it doesn’t take them to task for that. That’s a worldly thing, though, and looks change. Isn’t focusing on looks part of those ‘bad decisions,’ since according to the Bible, God says that he looks on the heart?” Greg moved a strand of dark brown hair from his freckled face. “Not really. We’re not God.” “But aren’t we supposed to be striving to become more like God? We’re all made in his image, so wouldn’t focusing on looks take away from that?”
