It entirely depends on the character, overall POV for the piece, and the kind of anger I'm writing. When I do write it from a character POV, I usually focus on the thoughts and the physiological symptoms of anger. #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! What's your favorite way to indicate anger in a character? Do they yell? Or go silent? Tense their shoulders? Grind their teeth? Does it vary for different characters? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I've only ever produced sequels or universal additions to fanfictions, since I'm presently an unpublished writer (outside of articles and other publications). The most fun is the world is set up for you. You're just building on the old ideas' foundations. #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Have you written a sequel before? If you haven't, what's stopped you? If you have, what were your most and least favorite parts about doing it? #WritingPrompt

Katie writes from the heart, spilling all the details she can spare but definitely omitting some choice embarrassing moments. Bekah writes like the winner of a war, everything is grand and inspiring if not harrowing. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WritingPrompt

Another Sunday, another #SundaySnips ~ while this section of my #novel #draft for Canary may meet the axe, I think it's a nice description to share in the meantime. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #HQpress

The Sunday Snips word of the day is 'pool' - the following is an excerpt from my novel WIP Canary featuring that word - Down the hall, a tiny oasis occupied a courtyard barely bigger than my own bedroom. The canopy of a well tended Japanese maple shielded a lichen softened bench, a single pond pool in the corner. The brick ground was insulated by bubbling swells of moss, a constant in the humid Southern air. When teachers came to sweep peace from the halls ahead of their students, they fiercely defended the small courtyard as if student use of facilities was criminal. In the early hours of the morning, I savored the sight from the windows. All the adjacent windows were still dark, a sign of mercy.

My name is Micah (they/them) & I'm currently writing a queer paranormal teen thriller named Canary. It explores the themes of codependency in a small town & how friendship can be enmeshed with jealousy, all a mask to hide internal insecurities around being unable to accept yourself #QueerWritersChat

Canary's antagonist knows the MC incredibly well even if their relationship is relatively new. They are similar people at their cores, but their motives are oppositional. There lies the drama. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

Stories have been an oasis in a desert of loneliness and confusion. They have opened my eyes to new worlds, lives, and adventures by the hundreds. Stories tell us there's no such thing as a life wasted, just a tale yet to be told. #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

I know this movie wasn't big for a lot of people and it gets a lot of flack in the scifi world, but I truly feel District 9 is one of the most underrated films about human-alien experiences and how humans would absolutely integrate the alien species into modern frames of oppression such as apartheid

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

It honestly depends on the world I'm building, but I love orchestral EDM or progressive house because it helps expand my creativity. I feel like it gets the brain moving towards creation immediately.

The background image shows a forest with the sun at a low angle, shining below the canopy. It’s very pretty green and yellow, giving a soft, gentle, warm feeling.

Katie's highest stat is and always will be charisma. Bekah's highest stat is intelligence with a short tie for charisma as well. Logan's highest stat is strength, for sure. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Katie is desperately trying to find a balcony or outside path to hide out on where the clothes don't feel like a second skin. Bekah's dancing and partying with Logan, but keeps trying to find Katie and drag her back to the dancefloor.

It’s time for a ball! What are your cast up to? Who’s being a social butterfly, who’s trying to find their magical one love, who’s being a wallflower, and who ignored the invite entirely? #WritingPrompt

The enemy is suspicion, codependency, and fear of change. However, one of my main characters is a secret villain. Their fear of people leaving and others outshining them drives them to dangerous limits. The other characters, frighteningly, are none the wiser - which is part of the drama. #WriteSky

I'd like to get within 20K of my goal word count, tbh. I'm so close, I just need to lock in to finish the rough draft so I can start restructuring and editing. #WriteSky #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity
