💚𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥💚 In honor of Namesake Day, I invite you to choose the name for one of my minor characters! 😍 This will be for my Regency Romance Time Travel novel. She is a female character. Born into an upper middle class family. She is brilliant, but also fiercely independent and stubborn. She doesn't care much for the conventions of polite society and often says exactly what she's thinking, regardless of whether or not it's considered proper. Drop your suggestions here in the comments below! I'm excited to see what you come up with! 😁 💚💚💚 #namesakeday #writerswritesnippets #regencyromance #romanceauthor #timetravelromance #romancebookstagram #characterdevelopment #romancebookaddict #romancebooks #historicalromance (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcCoSEOQbm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💚𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘💚 In this snippet for Writers Write Snippets, Neve travels to the Origami Kingdom for some much needed rest and relaxation. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 - 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗔 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 Paper lanterns hung in the air as I walked into the Origami Kingdom. I stepped on the ground and felt an immediate sense of relief and joy. The fresh scent of spring air and cherry blossoms filled the kingdom. The Paper Palace looked like it could float away with the slightest wind, yet it stood strong against any weather and had survived many attacks. The structure, composed of intricate folded paper, seemed to move in slow motion as I approached the entrance. At the front gate, I met guards who led me through the winding corridors of the palace. I passed several origami sculptures depicting the origin of the kingdom. When the guards reached the throne room, my eyes fell upon the Origami King. I had never seen someone so regal, so handsome, and so imposing in my life. He wore an origami mask that covered his entire face. There weren't many details about him in my memories, however, this man radiated such power that my entire body shuddered just thinking of what would happen if I ever crossed him. "Your Majesty," I bowed. "Princess Neve," he said, his features blocked by his mask, "what brings you to my kingdom?" "I've come to your lovely kingdom for a vacation alone." 💚💚💚 #indieauthors #fantasybookseries #writingcommunityofinsta #origami #writerscafe #writingislove #planasolovacationday #writerswritesnippets #creativewritingsociety #instawritingcommunity (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQd6DePJm7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

😴𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛 𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚😴 In honor of National Public Sleeping Day, Neve discovers the power of rest after an intense workout. Read on to learn about her experience and the strength she found in resting. *** I lifted the heavy iron dumbbells, curling my arms towards my chest. My muscles were beyond exertion at this point. Osbius stood nearby, watching me closely and occasionally correcting my form. "Okay," Osbius finally spoke. "It's—" With a loud clang, I threw the weights down. The sound reverberated off the brick walls like thunder. "... time to rest," Osbius finished. I lay down on the floor, feeling its cool and smooth surface against my cheek, in contrast to the blood still pumping through my veins from my workout. I couldn't keep my eyes open and soon drifted off to sleep. *** QOTD: Where is the strangest place you've fallen asleep? AOTD: I once fell asleep in Math class. In my defense, my teacher had a "Bueller... Bueller" kind of voice. 😅 😴😴😴 #writerswritesnippets #nationalpublicsleepingday #naptime #writersworld #instawriter #writtenword #restandrecovery #maketimeforyou #mywriting #fitnesstime https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPIePJgHUX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌊MOMENT OF CLARITY🌊 This piece for Writers Write Snippets is for my Regency Era romance novel. Enjoy! 😊 Theme - Who Shall I Be Day Georgiana stood beside a rocky shore. Waves bashed against the gloomy cliffs. Sea mist sprayed against her lips as she breathed in the salty air. The wind tousled her hair as the setting sun on the horizon beckoned her like a beacon to a new future. She thought about her future and what people expected her to do with her life. Marry well, have children, create a legacy. Her nose wrinkled as she recalled the argument she had with her mother. With her father gone, responsibilities fell upon her shoulders. She hated when people spoke of marrying well. The thought made her want to cringe, and now she had to consider it or lose everything. Marriage always reminded her of a ring of knotted twigs, tightening every year around a woman’s neck until she could not breathe or speak. She shut her eyes and listened to the sea. Peaceful and soothing, she could stand here forever and forget everything. When she opened her eyes, she noticed Henley standing on the far side of the beach. He stared out at the sea, his broad shoulders tense. She wondered what went on in his mind. As if pulled by a magnetic force, she made her way towards him. “Good evening, Mr. Sutton,” Georgiana smiled, hoping she had not disturbed him. Henley turned to her, sadness in his eyes. A small smile appeared on his lips. “Miss. Whitehouse.” He bowed his head. “What brings you here?” “Clarity,” Georgiana hesitated, then continued, “I suppose I needed time to myself to think.” Henley nodded, understanding, and said, “The sea puts things into perspective.” Georgiana looked at the ocean with a smile. He reached out and took hold of her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. She didn’t know what came over her, but she squeezed his hand as though he were her lifeline. Georgiana was certain of one thing despite not knowing the future. She felt content with Henley by her side. 🌊🌊🌊 #regencyera #romancenovel #momentofclarity #newbeginnings #newperspective #lovestories #whoshallibeday #writerswritesnippets (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoyhDhmO9lH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍨🍦BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS🍦🍨 In this piece for Writers Write Snippets, Neve eats ice cream for breakfast. ☺️ Theme - Ice Cream for Breakfast Day The bright sun blinded me as I stumbled into in the kitchen. Sleep had been restless. Coffee and breakfast were the only things that came to my mind. I rubbed my eyes and turned the coffee machine on. I winced, waiting for the coffeepot to finish brewing. The coffee machine hissed as though angry with my impatience. I needed something to eat right now. The sweet, nutty scent of coffee hit me, and my stomach growled in anticipation. Then, I remembered, we had ice cream in the freezer. Cookies and cream. It would be a perfect start to my day. I took the carton and a spoon and took my first bite of the smooth treat. The chocolate cookie bits crunched in my mouth while sweet vanilla cream exploded on my taste buds. Ardit walked into the kitchen and frowned. "That's not breakfast." "Why not?" I shrugged, "It's got milk in it." 🍦🍨🍦🍨 #writerswritesnippets #icecreamforbreakfastday #icecreamlover #breakfastofchampions #bookishpost #foodielove #writingsociety #coffeecoffeecoffee #writingcommunityofinstagram #writerscorner https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2xs70vyHx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌙DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?🌙 Is your main character about to face a terrifying reality or wake up to a blissful dream? In this piece of dialogue from Snow White and the Guardians of the Sword, Neve and Ardit discuss the Evil Queen, a woman so feared she's deemed "the stuff of nightmares." *** Theme - World Marriage Day “Your stepmother is the stuff of nightmares. She came to the kingdom one day and it was as if the king, your father, had no sense. He married her that day. The citizens believe he’s spellbound.” “Spellbound in love or spellbound my wife just cursed me?” I asked. *** Share in the comments: is your character having a good dream or a nightmare? 💭💛 🌙🌙🌙 #worldmarriageday #marriageday #writerswritesnippets #iamwriting #authorsofinsta #dreamsandnightmares #nightmares #writersclub #indieauthors #bookstagramit https://www.instagram.com/p/CopwjmsrTMr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤KEEPING A PROMISE🖤 Let’s talk about promises! Do you have characters that make promises? In this snippet for Writers Write Snippets, Neve is shocked to learn that her teacher, Desiree, has a love life and has made a promise. Theme - Promise Day *** “Uh...” I hesitated for a beat. “Are you going on this date?” “A promise is a promise, Neve.” Desiree replied, "And I keep my promises." I shuddered at the idea that my teacher went on dates. With a sidelong glance at her, I noticed how tight she clasped her hands, her gaze fixed upon the table in front of her. Her eyes flitted towards her wristwatch as though counting seconds, and that made me uncomfortable. I gave her a watery smile. “You can get out of this, right?” “I don’t want to.” The idea crossed my mind for the umpteenth time that night... Miss. Desiree had a life outside of school. “As long as you’re okay with it,” I muttered. *** Tap that heart if you enjoyed the snippet! ❤️ 🖤🖤🖤 #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #bookish #writerswritesnippets #promiseday #booklover #storytelling #writinginspiration #writingmotivation #creativewriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CokkhxTL3w3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤SOLITUDE LIFTED, TOGETHERNESS SHARED🖤 Theme - No One Eats Alone Day This is a continuation of my last piece for Writers Write Snippets. In the last snippet, Neve was eating alone and began to miss her family. 😔 I've continued the snippet. Hope you like the ending! Enjoy! 😊 *** The empty table made me feel small and insignificant. I tried to push the thought out of my mind, instead focusing on the steaming bowl of ramen in front of me. Ah, ramen, the food staple of people on a budget and lonely college students. I took a bite, savoring the umami flavor of the rich broth. I missed my foster parents and their smiling faces, reaching for the bread basket. The clock ticked, echoing in my mind like a death knell. Dim light from the chandelier punctuated the dancing shadows against the wall. Loneliness hung thick in the air like spirits refusing to move on to the beyond. Ardit stepped through the dining room threshold. My heart tightened as he sat beside me. “No one should have to eat alone,” he smiled. Ardit’s warm presence filled the space, and the weight of my solitude lifted from my shoulders. I returned his smile. “Thank you.” *** Like if you enjoyed the snippet! ❤️ 🖤🖤🖤 #heartwarming #friendshipismagic #companionship #bookishcommunity #writerswrite #creativewritings #nooneeatsaloneday #writerswritesnippets #writingcommunityofinstagram #writergram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cofy03ZvWeZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗 𝗗𝗔𝗬📚 Happy World Read Aloud Day! Instilling a love of reading is one of the best things you can do for your child, and it's so important for their development. They learn so many skills from reading: how to read critically, how to identify different words and how they sound, how to connect symbols into sentences or paragraphs. Reading is a great way to help kids develop their vocabulary and understanding of the world around them. And they really enjoy it! When you read aloud with your child, they not only learn new words and concepts, but also practice listening skills and improve their attention span. When you read aloud together with your child, you are helping them build a love of reading that will last a lifetime! 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: Ardit stood in front of a group of rowdy children at the local bookstore. Ready to cast a spell with words. Ardit took a deep breath and opened the book, his voice ringing out clear and strong. The subtle hint of authority in his tone made the children quiet down. Reaching an exciting part of the story, Ardit’s eyes lit up, and the children, caught up in the tale's magic, hung on every word with their mouths hanging open. The children gasped, feeling the excitement and tension. "Reading aloud is a magical experience," Ardit said. "And we're glad to have shared it with all of you today." 📚📚📚 #worldreadaloudday #readaloud #readaloudrevival #readaloudday #writerswritesnippets #readingmatters #readingaloud #literacymatters #readingismagic #readingwithkids #buildingaloveofreading #familyreading #storytimewithkids #readaloudcommunity #raisingreaders #readtogether #becauseofreading #authorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writingmotivation #booknerd #writerwednesday #wednesdaysnippet #readingcommunity #readersofinsta #readingchallenge #writersclub #readersgonnaread #youngreaders #readingiscool (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIClo4rIm2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘'𝗦 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 & 𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 🖤 Neve’s fashion choices are all about simplicity and functionality. 🙌🙌🙌 She doesn't follow trends, she simply wears what she loves. Here's a look at one of her favorite outfits: The black leather jacket hugged Neve’s frame. Its smooth surface gleamed in the sunlight. She donned a black, white, and red Twenty One Pilots t-shirt, the band’s name emblazoned in bold, white letters like a battle cry. Her feet stomped in a pair of black combat boots. The rugged soles made a solid thump with each step. Worn black jeans clung to her legs. The smell of leather and denim wafted from her, a subtle yet powerful reminder of her badassery. She hoped her outfit screamed, “Don’t mess with me.” 🖤🖤🖤 #writerswritesnippets #combatbootstyle #functionalfashion #twentyonepilots #leatherjacket #fashioninspiration #writingofinstagram #instafashion #instaleather #blackleather #fashionchoices #combatboots #combatboot #writingabook #writeabook #thewritercommunity #storydevelopmentthursday #ootdpost #writingdreams #pentopaper #writefromtheheart #wordsmithsunite #wordsmiths #novelist #womenwhowrite #ladywriter #writeon #writingspark #bookwriting #writerswritesnippets (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn49LpZv_Sv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍕𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗 & 𝗦𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗧🍕 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 - 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 Neve loves pizza. She'll eat most kinds except for anchovies. Here's a fun snippet I wrote for the Writers Write Snippets challenge: The garlic and herbs sprinkled on top of a buttery crust made it extra tasty. Cheese bubbled over spicy tomato sauce. It's no secret that I love pizza. I hadn’t realized my hunger when I refused his original offer. “So, how did you like my pizza?” A voice asked from behind me. Startled, I choked on my last bite. “I love it!” I said through my coughing fit. “See? What did I tell you?” "I love it more than you," I said. "Wait, you love me?" "Look Ardit, you can't compete with my love for pizza. It's a losing battle. You should stop trying... it's pathetic really. But at least we have this moment and it'll bring you some comfort." Ardit stared at me and burst into laughter. “You’re right,” he said after recovering from laughing. “I guess I am pretty pathetic compared to you. I’ll go eat my pizza alone. Can't sit with the cool kid now, can I?” “Good luck out there,” I shouted after him as he left the room. 🍕🍕🍕 #writerswritesnippets #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorsofig #sundaysupperday #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingcommunityofig #indieauthorsofinstagram #nationalsundaysupperday #writingscommunity #igwritingcommunity #findmywritingcommunity #writingcommunityofinsta #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #creativewriting #authorscommunity #writersconnection #writersociety #authorsofinsta #writersofig #writershub #fictionwriting #storywriting #writinglifestyle #bookwriter #indieauthors #writersofinsta #writercommunity #writersclub (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnL0VevAK9L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎆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=
