Several Sentence Sunday
Thanks for the tag, @tinyarmedtrex
As I am currently working on Thuiskomst, have a few sentences from that. (Thuiskomst is the next story in Kanej Wensen: Inej finally comes back to Ketterdam, and gets to reunite with Kaz.)
“I adore you,” she murmured along his jaw, heading back towards an ear. 
“Since when… aahhhh… are you so intrigued by my ears?”
“Since I learned it could make you make that noise.”
I see… He wondered if hers might be as sensitive, and lifted a section of her now loose hair to use it like a brush along the edge of her ear and her neck. 
Inej giggled into the crook of his neck, “Kaz!”
“Turnabout is fair play, my Wraith.”
“Since when do you play fair?”
“Point to Captain Ghafa,” he rumbled with amusement.
Inej huffed, and nibbled at his ear again.
(This may or may not have been inspired by real life things... ::grins::)
Soft tagging @kezzzx, @aphroditestummyrolls, and @reinanova if they wanna play!

As a writer, I've always wanted to write what I personally wanted to read.
While it is kinda therapeutic and exciting, it's also quite scary to think...
What if no one ever felt this way? Or maybe it won't have that much of an impact? What if readers cannot relate with it?
I mean fantasy genre is usually quite popular among tweens, teens, and YAs.
But what about actual adults?
Life is rough. Adults are the most stressed ones. Sometimes, I happen to stumble upon a good story and it takes my mind away from the icky realities for a while.
Writers, comics, authors, entertainers.
I guess a lot of artists opt for this sort of skill. The ability to transform people to a fabricated world with little hints of reality blend into.
Maybe, adults could use some dedicated fiction written exclusively for them. Something that doesn't have violent gore, or the fate of entire universe riding on one person.
I think there are scarier things in real life than worrying about being the quintessential chosen one. When I started my WIP, I went through the motions to settle at this conclusion.
No unhinged plot twists, no shock and awe, no crazy emotional plateaus. Just people being people. Having to make difficult choices. Faced with their inner demons more than the next apocalyptic monster.
As a writer, it's all I wish to accomplish. I hope it comes to fruition.

How about an F1-Supernatural mash-up AU about Charles' cursed quali pants? How about that? Isn't that a neat little idea?

You and your husband are soulmates. But he goes off on a sea voyage and does not return. You have not been with anyone since. It has been twenty years. “I will move on,” You hiss to your family and friends who ask. “When one of the Gods themselves tells me he is dead.” A day later there is a light knock on your door. The man on the other side is smiling sadly, apologetic. “We’re very sorry ma’am. But he’s dead.”

Mayday 2023
Day Six- Prompt; Haunted
The air is still and quiet Yet I feel a presence near A ghostly figure in my sight But there is no sense of fear
She moves with grace and poise As if she’s dancing in a dream Her form is light and weightless A calming presence it would seem
Despite her ghostly nature I find myself at ease Her peaceful energy surrounds me Bringing comfort and relief
So though she haunts me nightly I welcome her with open arms For her ghostly presence soothes me And brings me a sense of calm

alone in a prairie, standing so still
there lies a barn, atop of a hill.
sheep drown in their wool, the horses all left
and now it is time, to go like the rest.
there’s nothing to do, and no one to save
unable to think of what happened that day.
cattle graze freely, the wheat overgrown
the lights are still on, but no one comes home.
tagged by: @chibiisanii (hello!)
A famous prompt: Describe a barn as seen by a man whose son has just been killed in a war. Do not mention the son, or war, or death. Do not mention the man who does the seeing.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing
If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 
1. Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.
2. Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.
3. Concussions
This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.
I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.
4. Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.
5. Road Rash
Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.
6. Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.
7. Deep Laceration
A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.
This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.
8. Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.
If you want to explore writing burns, read here.
9. Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.
10. Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

Writers are crazy creatures.
They'd rather see people unhappy with their words leave than having to edit it.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
