Gonna share a longer one because this also my #snippetsaturday for the week!

Maristella tried not to lose heart as Pirate's Cove came into view. Foreboding cliffsides towered high along a long stretch of islands, as far as the eye could see, with no suitable ingress for a fleet, or even a single ship, to enter. Until now, she'd never seen Pirate's Cove, never come this close to it. It had been nothing more than a dark blot of ink in the corner of a map that she'd been told only to ignore. The cove she saw before her was something much more ominous. "I'm starting to understand why father's fleets are forbidden entry," Maristella thought, "and while I don't support their cowardice, I see it is not unfounded. I may be the only member of the navy who's entered these waters and lived to tell the tale— and even my fate is not yet set in stone." But Maristella held her own as they neared the seemingly impenetrable wall.

🎆𝗠𝗖 𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗 & 𝗦𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗧 - 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥🎆 How would your MC spend the New Years? Neve wouldn't do much of anything. She'd stay home and watch TV. Here is a snippet about how Neve spends New Years! Enjoy! *** Nothing moved. Nothing echoed. Nothing hummed. Fireworks ruptured the silence, booming through the frosty night air. I whispered out a soft sigh and plopped down on the soft, somewhat dilapidated couch, bottle of sparkling grape juice in hand. The seat next to me remained empty no matter how much I tried to pretend that he sat there saying my name. Neve. I took a swig from the bottle and grabbed the television remote. The television screen shifted from black to a sparkling ball. People danced in the streets watching a band play. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The host shouted with glee, “Happy New Year!” I held up my bottle to the television screen to give my salutations. Then I downed the entire bottle in one gulp. *** 🎆🎆🎆 #nowipwritersway #snippetsaturday #yafantasyauthor #amwritingfantasy #authortkkhan #authorsofig #writerscommunity #writerswritesnippets #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingofinstagram #writingsofinstagram #iamwriting #fantasybookstagram #writingfantasy #bookstagrammersunite #fantasybookstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookishfeed #writersofinstagram #creativewriting #writersconnection #writersociety #authorsofinsta #writersofinsta #fantasyauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #authorgram #authorssupportingauthors #fantasywriter (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4Sn9wrpBE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am playing catch-up with our daily posts for #writerfriendschallenge. Day 1: I’m a fifty-nine year old writer who has published academic works and am now working on a series of books on women who were geniuses in their fields. The twist in my writing is showing that while these women were geniuses, they were also flawed humans like the rest of us. Day 2: My goal for July is to complete my 3rd rewrite of my George Sand novel. While my goal for #campnanowrimo is 25,000 words because of editing and fact checking, I’m hoping to write a lot more. Day 3: #snippetsaturday The best way to describe her was through the words of Victor Hugo during her funeral “In this country whose law is to complete the French Revolution and begin that of the equality of the sexes, being a part of the equality of men, a great woman was needed. It was necessary to prove that a woman could have all the manly gifts without losing any of her angelic qualities, be strong without ceasing to be tender ... George Sand proved it.

#themoongravityandskychallenge asks for #dialogue for #snippetsaturday Since I'm lazy, I choose dialogue from the #wip I'm working on today. This snippet is from Ethereal Realms Book III, between Varik Skyborn, Lord of the Court of Sky and Muírgan Vivane, the Queen of the Elves. #amwritingfantasy #fantasylover #yabookstagram #bookstagram #yareaders #YAFantasy #fae #faerie #elves https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6HyzHLHbR/?igshid=kfpbuth9umv5

#snippetsaturday and let me say that for all my hopes, for Ms. Infinity never, ever did I want this series to be a prophecy. Damn. Just, damn. Johnny Gunn is, btw, essentially Trump with a dash of Lex Luthor. Okay, in the book, he pulls his insurrection from NYC (I won't give away how.) But the biggest difference, the one that makes me long for the version in my book, is that Ms. Infinity is there to save us. Technically this doesn't follow the criteria of today's #fantasywipjanuary2021 but I don't know if I have anything else. . . . . . #snippet #insurrection #superheronovel #superhero #superheroine #femalesuperhero #originalsuperheroine #msinfinityseries #msinfinity #whereinfinitybegins https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1xGb1gVKe/?igshid=16hicoaqm8lne

#SnippetSaturday ~ Prologue ~ The brisk wind air smelt like nothing she had ever smelt before. It was of a scent that didn't exist even in the furthest corners of her memory. It also tasted sweet, like the rarity of chocolate given on testing days. It made her mouth water and she knew if she were to ever leave this place, it would never leave her mind. She would never be able to let it go. How she knew, she wasn't exactly sure. It was just one of those things that came naturally, a piece of knowledge she seemed to have yet, never knew anything about. The world around her bristled with life. The soothing run of water ran at the edge of her hearing range, a gentle rumble that if she listened long enough to, could probably put her to sleep. But she couldn't let that happen, no matter how badly she wanted to soak in the wonders of this world. She had been warned and knew well enough to keep on guard. It'll trick you. Your deepest secrets are already known the instant you step into It. It will hold them against you. You mustn't let it. The grass whispered as she moved forward through it, tickling at her calves with how far up the blades could reach. The trees stood proud and tall on one side of her, reaching towards the blue skies above. On her other side lay the field in which she walked, a vast emptiness of swaying yellow grass. The low rumble of water never left the edge of her hearing range, still beckoning to her the trap that it had set. The fluttered of wings batted in her ears, but the owners were invisible to the eyes. They lay beyond the trees, trying to pull her towards their sound, into the waiting trees. They wanted her off her path, to join whatever lay within the darkness that lined the edge of the forest and beyond. She kept her eyes forward though, fingers twitching in the strain it took to look forward, to keep in that solid direction. Even one glance and It'll take you. Don't look away. Don't look down. Don't look up. If you do, in any direction whatsoever, you lose. Losing was not her thing, though she knew sometimes it was inevitable. Losing was part of life, part of the game that everyone played #amwriting #writingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9TdoJjDPc1RgtMQvxvwN2-gsHUq1i00N58O40/?igshid=ik9jblmfri7l

“He smiled at her, letting the emotion light up his entire face, and for some idiotic reason, her face cracked too, lips absently spreading in an upturn at the sight of him. 💋 But just as quickly as the smile appeared, she schooled her features again to indifference. She was *not* happy to see him. 🌿 No. 🌺 He was a distraction, nothing more. She *couldn’t* let him become anything more…” 💕 #SnippetSaturday #Instinct #Instinctnovella #NovellaExcerpt #bookstagram #romancenovella #romancewriter #romanceauthor #authorsofinstagram #romancereadersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #romancewritersofinstagram #selfpublishing #selfpublishedauthor #indieauthor #debutnovel #bookstagrammer #allisonblackwood (at Toluca Lake, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B123U7aAs5X/?igshid=h9rdhlz04y0s

#moonearthandskychallenge (@themidnight_novelist): #SnippetSaturday- Earth No better time to revisit some snippets from my novel, Be, and it's upcoming (somewhat) prequel, An Impossible Dream, along with a new snippet of the same setting (different time) from book 3 (another somewhat prequel), Where the Heart Is! In my Be Series, there's some overlap when and where the books take place, due to the shape of the series versus the timeline. The third book, Where the Heart Is, takes place over about 17 years, overlapping in the final 5 years with book two. The second book, An Impossible Dream, takes place over the course of 6 years, overlapping in terms of the timeline for the very last year with the first book, Be. The places the characters visit, also have some overlap, such as with the town surrounding the castle. The first quote is part of Clary's perspective on that town. The second is Sare's perspective of that same town about a decade later. And the last is Ari's perspective on that town about five years after Sare. You can read more of Ari and Sare's perspective in excerpts found in my latest blog: https://ellielieberman.weebly.com/blog/same-setting-different-characters-same-place-different-times #bookseries #characterpov #writingperspective #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #bookrecommendations #beseries #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #mustread #indiebooksbeseen #indiebooksofinstagram #indiesofinstagram #be #ellielieberman #animpossibledream #prequels #seriestimeline #booktimeline #authorgram #bookblog #authornotes #authorsofinstagram #writingofinstagram #writersofinstagram #wheretheheartis https://www.instagram.com/p/CpeTn5VrB8h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❄𝗦𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 - 𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧❄ Lower lip trembling, I slung my knapsack over my shoulder and headed outside. Slashing winds separated leaves from tree limbs, exposed and agonizing in a savage world. The wind ripped right through me. Tears stung my eyes. I turned up my coat collar in a fruitless attempt to battle the wind.  ❄❄❄ #snippetsaturday #snippet #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writersofinstagram #author #writerscommunity #writer #bookstagram #writerslife #writersnetwork #writersofig #snippetsaturdays #spillthewintertea #decemberwriterswipchallenge2021 (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXEj8VhLiE_/?utm_medium=tumblr

"When her eyelids fluttered open, a gray sky stretched above her, the clouds thick and cotton-like. Cool water lapped at her skin, framing her face and submerging her ears, muting the world into sweet endless silence. A dream? She must’ve fallen asleep. A single ray of sunlight cut through the infinite gloom, the brilliant beam slicing into her eyes. She closed them and reveled in the kiss of warmth on her face. She could float like this forever. - L.D.
