I don't have "carrier" anywhere, so I used courier instead. From Death & the Dreamer: Soryl and Win discovering something interesting about Luther #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

I wasn’t sure how I ought to respond. “Did you say Luther Glick isn’t dead?”
“I did indeed.” He lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with gossip. “He was laid out in his parlor, and he sat up.”
I gaped at him. That certainly was not what I’d expected to hear.
The steward cleared his throat and resumed his Stoic Steward act. “The mistress Rosalyn was sent to attend him. I’m afraid she will be occupied until at least tomorrow afternoon. However, I can take the message and deliver it to her when she returns.”
“Fine.” I fished into my fake courier bag and produced the sealed envelope containing the note I’d written myself: Please enlighten me as to the trustworthiness of a woman called Tova.

The word for August 5th is “carrier”

G'morning #WIPSnips! Some banter between Milly and the lone staff member of the manor to stay behind while the school is in session. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

“Stone?”
“Unit of measurement, don’t worry about it,” Cook says as he slides a glass of orange juice towards me.
“Fair enough.” I eat breakfast in silence, savouring each bite. It’s exactly what I needed.
“Lunch isn’t for a few more hours, so if you’re not looking to interrupt the class, are you going to try out the thing from yesterday again?”
“No. I feel uneasy about something. Going to check out the treeline for a bit. Everything is still closed up tight, right?” I ask.
“Oh yes! I can open this back door right here, but nothing else. You good to go out alone?” His voice carries a lot of concern for my safety.
“I think so, with these new guns of mine,” I say, and I have to fight so hard not to laugh at his frown, and again when his expression changes to irritation when I hold up my arms and flex my fingers.
“Don’t get too cocky just yet,” he continues gruffly, “you’re only just scratching the surface of what a Draakkin can do!”
“Alright dad, but I still have to check the treeline for anything I find either suspicious or troubling, cause that’s my job,” I say with a smile and walk towards the back door. He unlocks and holds it open for me.

If you're a new writer looking to publish your book, my biggest piece of advice is to do research into publishing, no matter whether you want to go trad or self-pub. And PLEASE avoid vanity presses and hybrid publishers that ask you to pay to publish your book.

With the funding cuts to the UN refugee centered organizations, it's getting harder to manage relocation missions and proper health screenings. Doctors, nurses and critical support staff are being let go in scores and impoverished migrants bear the brunt of the pain. The rising heat isn't helping.

A good friend of mine grew up in the Sudanese savanna before moving to the city. He learned how to make a pen and ink from wood and plants, talk about a super power.

Magic is a university subject. The raw material slowly poisons the user, so children aren't allowed near it. The Hartwood Brethren approach it a bit differently, because they're weird.

Informing a teenager that she's pregnant, especially when she's a refugee and about to be cleared for migration is one those moments where I wish there was a fast forward button.

'After we got to know each other a bit better, I told Terrence how I feared the daily injections. ‘Oh, I understand. I’ve had those, too. Do they stick the needle in your legs, like they did mine?’ ‘My arms. My legs. And my…bum! Both sides. Every day.’ ‘Oh dear, that’s awful! Would it help if I..'
