The opening scene of Laurus Nobilis reminds me of The Knightbane's Prize. It's a well choreographed sequence which characterises the protagonist well, which is what I was trying to accomplish myself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwHN... Go watch it! #QueerPrompts #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

โ€œStone?โ€ โ€œUnit of measurement, donโ€™t worry about it,โ€ Cook says as he slides a glass of orange juice towards me. โ€œFair enough.โ€ I eat breakfast in silence, savouring each bite. Itโ€™s exactly what I needed. โ€œLunch isnโ€™t for a few more hours, so if youโ€™re not looking to interrupt the class, are you going to try out the thing from yesterday again?โ€ โ€œNo. I feel uneasy about something. Going to check out the treeline for a bit. Everything is still closed up tight, right?โ€ I ask. โ€œOh yes! I can open this back door right here, but nothing else. You good to go out alone?โ€ His voice carries a lot of concern for my safety. โ€œI think so, with these new guns of mine,โ€ 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. โ€œDonโ€™t get too cocky just yet,โ€ he continues gruffly, โ€œyouโ€™re only just scratching the surface of what a Draakkin can do!โ€ โ€œAlright dad, but I still have to check the treeline for anything I find either suspicious or troubling, cause thatโ€™s my job,โ€ I say with a smile and walk towards the back door. He unlocks and holds it open for me.

#AwesomeCharacters As mentioned before, Gwyn doesn't lie. However, any memoirs would be from her perspective, and she's not omniscient. She also can't read or write, so it would be dictation and her feelings about whatever she was talking about at the time would definitely come through in her toneใ€œ

But Caly was quiet a moment, and Poppy suddenly wondered if she had just asked a forbidden question and Caly was about to yell at her and storm off. Her fingers tightened around her pencil, shaking too hard for her to put lead to paper.

We rode in silence after that, only the deer-thing honking like a plastic sporting event blow-horn every now and then. We even rode through town drawing looks from the townspeople as our means of transportation honked. When this world would finally have cars, this would be normal to them; until then, theyโ€™d have to deal with the goose moose. We pulled up to the house and unfastened the creature from the cart.

#FaveLineFriday Writing hasn't been easy, as you can probably tell, but I have written! From my cozy fantasy hero x villain romance WIP Wish Upon a Storm. Proudest writing achievement so far? Probably releasing Island of the Baboon God!

A warm soft thumb slipped under his shirt, brushed over bare skin. Wes rose up on the balls of his feet. "We - we put a lot of work into the castle!" He said. "And this party! There's guests coming in a few hours!" "All the more reason to take you before they get here." "My parents will be there," Wes said. "I haven't seen them in forever." A finger joined the thumb. Wes felt himself relaxing into the touch. "You're enjoying this," the professor said. Wes blushed. The knites tittered nervously. "I can't stop you from doing what you want with me," Wes said. He placed a hand over the professor's. "But - but don't you want to see what we've done with the place first? We put so much work into making it our homeโ€ฆ"

How can she do it? How can she be so strong, after everything sheโ€™s been through? As if answering my questions, she said the words I never expected to hear, even though I really should have by then. I knew them so well, as I had practiced them in my head every night we spent together, until they felt foreign and strange. Yet, when she said them with such tenderness, both in body and soul, they resonated as strongly as the crystals of the Worldโ€™s Edge. โ€œI love you, Jane.โ€ โ€œI love you, too.โ€ The words came out quickly, desperately, almost clumsily, flowing like a river in a storm before a single thought could dam the way. At the last possible moment, I had decided that I didnโ€™t trust my brain not to mess it up, so I trusted my heart to get it right instead. All my silent rehearsals, gone to wasteโ€ฆ โ€ฆ but her smile couldnโ€™t have been brighter.

Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

Gotta be Princess Ceindrych from The Wolf Knight. She's nine years old, three apples tall and so excited to be Ata's friend! I fear that I made her too adorable, truly. It's made me maternal. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

An excerpt from The Wolf Knight (Raven & Bear: 8) by Bramble, in black text on a white background. Princess Ceindrych arrives for a sleepover. Transcript: A timid knock stalled his rebuttal. Both waited patiently until they heard Princess Ceindrychโ€™s voice outside, so soft neither understood that little girl. At a hum of approval from Ata this knight approached the door, staff first. When it opened their visitor was hidden by a large pillow she carried, with only her slippers visible. Halbadier Marrok loomed a few paces behind. โ€œSleepover!โ€ Princess Ceindrych hopped up and down giddily, still muffled through that cushion, โ€œI brought games and snacks.โ€ Sir Garrett stepped aside when this tiny child waddled into the parlour. He wore a precious simper, already endeared to their visitorโ€™s antics. In contrast, Ata crouched ahead of her. One hand outstretched to halt that younger princess before she stumbled into a bookcase. Though they were only three years apart in age, a foot of height separated them as the older girl stood again.

#FavLineFriday I like this moment in my horsey WIP I worked on this week when Beau buys an old donkey to save him from slaughter. And Beau also has an idea in mind that could be good for Finn's bitter horse... (cw animal with past abuse in a poor state)

Going to the pen then, he gathered that sack of bones in a tattered red halter which had all but grown into his skin, rubbing the hair off the bridge of his nose. Ears pricked, sniffing Beau with that large nuzzle, somehow, that animal knew he was not going into that truck smelling of death backing to the pens. โ€œCome, budโ€ฆ Letโ€™s go.โ€ Smiling a bit that he had bought that old donkey, but he walked and tugged a bit, and the donkey followed. Slow, but Beau had that patience to match his wobbly steps. To the trailer where he just opened the door, and lowered the ramp. Walking in, not even looking back, feeling him follow, feeling his nose against his back. Tying him up, he ran his hand on that meagre coat, tracing his bones, the whip scars. Putting a lump of hay in the net. โ€œNot too much, budโ€ฆ ok? Donโ€™t make yourself sick.โ€ Boiling at the state of that animal. โ€œWeโ€™re going home. I have a new friend for you, youโ€™ll see.โ€ Smiling, watching the donkey munch that hay, careful. He locked him up and climbed up, starting the engine, rolling out softly under that rising sun. Putting the radio on, some country songs filling the air, and all felt good and right, that warm blood raced around by his generous heart. A tiny idea there, taking shape as he hummed the tune of the song. A tiny thought, his heart warm.
