I glanced over at my cappuccino, just out of reach, with the foam dripping down the side. “Why would I want to go back to a planet with no coffee? Plus, I’m reading a really good suspense thriller, 'Dead Body Nursery Rhyme Allusion,' and I couldn’t bring it with me.” -The Cosmic Turkey #WIPSnips

Janet's parents are on a distant planet. Since it's a YA story, that's the safest place for them, as I'm tenderhearted and didn't want to kill them off. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters We talked about reunions the other day, so today let's talk about the opposite: partings! Have your characters left someone significant behind? Do they hope to see them again, or know they never will? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

That's definitely Lola. The rest of the #AwesomeCharacters can't figure out how she wound up working for a peace organization. She claims the swords hanging in her quarters are decorative.

“I’ll need you to identify which of these rings from Frink’s quarters is the one you’re missing.” Beau’s eyebrows jetted upward. “How many did he have?” “Four,” Nlubglub said. “Seven,” Frink said simultaneously. “Um, I meant four. It was totally four.” -The Star-Crossed Pelican #WIPSnips

We arrived at my quarters. The room was a color I would describe as “death gray.” The computer viewscreen showed a motivational poster with a much fancier ship than mine and the words, "Aim high: even if you crash, it’ll take you longer to hit the ground." The Cosmic Turkey #WIPSnips
