#writingwednesday update
Feb. 28th, 2019 12:42 pmPosted to the writing blogs.
week one
Exact Drabble: Sunshine wordpress ; fic blog
For the prompts ‘sunshine’ and ‘sci-fi’
She gazed at the myriad stars. So many, yet so little light.
The ship relied upon internal lighting. There was one window at the front of the ship while viewscreens supplied information about the rest of the vessel’s exterior. Outside it was perpetually night, or so it seemed. In the vacuum of space there could be no day.
She sighed, and checked the star map. She needed to find a planet, take a rest stop before making the delivery. She needed to stand on solid ground for an hour or so.
She needed to feel the sunlight on her skin.
week two
2 haiku based on the saying “red sky at night…” Sky wordpress ; fic blog
Red sky is dawning
Sailors, shepherds take warning
Rain may be ahead
Red sky as sun sets
Take heart at the sign, better
weather tomorrow
week three 3 x 3 sentence fics wordpress ; fic blog Note: these are edited from previous versions posted to my personal journalsome were fanfic originally for the 3 sentence ficathon
Redemption
“Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance?”
Bound in chains at the tyrant’s feet, the knight said, “I wanted to give you a chance to surrender, because I believe in redemption.”
The tyrant raised an eyebrow, and his sword, and said, “Well, sadly for you, I don’t.”
Gift
He leaned back, contented from the birthday feast, eyes tired and heavy, but she shook her head, saying, “I haven’t given you your present yet.”
She began to unlace her gown, then paused and asked, “Would you care to unwrap it yourself?”
All thoughts of sleep fled with a grin as he moved to accept his gift.
Beware
If you go into the forest, beware my child, for there are predators who may look pretty and speak gentle words but are deadly.
Stay off the paths and in the shadows and trust no human. Beware especially the ones who dress in red for they carry knives and kill wolves without hesitation.
week four WiP snippets: snippets from my WiPs. I searched for those mentioning ‘spring’ as we approach springtime in the northern hemisphere. wordpress ; fic blog
Sorceress Apprentice (fantasy romance)
The only way this could be more perfect was if Kerine and Sabrina were here to enjoy it with them. And, of course, if Emeri were not sick. It was hard to believe he was dying on a night like tonight when he was happy and so very much alive.
The moon rose, and the Elder led the ritual by the fire. Thanks were given for the summer, for the harvest, for all the blessings in their lives. Regrets were expressed, sorrow for losses endured and apologies for wrongs done to each other. Wishes were made for the future, hope that the coming winter be not too harsh and that spring would return soon.
Bryony blinked away tears. There would be no Winter Solstice dance to honour the returning sun, not for her and Emeri. She would be expressing grief for her loss when the winter sun fell upon the village square and the ritual fire was kindled once more.
“And now,” the Elder said, “The Ritual Fire Dance!”
WRE (shapeshifters)
It was a warm spring evening and Romaine had decided to go to work in his wolf form.
The good thing about night shifts was that there were less people around. Romaine trotted happily down the street without seeing a single person and only one car. He turned right, into the park, ducked through some bushes, and found the old abandoned rail line. It would take him longer to get to work, but sometimes it was good to let go.
He gave in to the urge to run, powerful muscles giving him speed most dogs or wolves wouldn’t muster. Crickets chirped from their perches in the overgrowth, and mice scuttled about in the bushes. A bird trilled, maybe a nightingale. His ears heard the sound perfectly but Romaine was no expert on birdsong.
Halfway, he paused at a puddle. Wolves could drink rainwater without ill effects, much as dogs could. By their dual nature they had immunity to a whole range of illnesses and toxins that could endanger or kill either dogs, or humans, or both. Still, sometimes the human mind shied away from the wolf instincts, always a disconcerting experience. He didn’t like to think of himself as two people; he was a Wolf, always, regardless of the form he was currently in.

Fic snippet: An Invitation
Jan. 9th, 2019 03:21 pmFor #writingwednesday. A snippet from my supernatural drama WiP featuring shapeshifters and set in modern day UK, on the England-Wales border.
Romaine (Wolf) and El (Cat) are currently working at a supernatural helpline but Romaine was a field agent until taking leave after an incident, and El is biding time until her chance to make field agent.
In snippet fic, El doesn't want to go alone to a party her family is having; maybe her friend and colleague Romaine can help.
The Invitation
El glowered as she typed. "My family is having a party," she said. "Anniversary party for my great-aunt Madelana and her husband Grant. They've hired a room at a social club, a DJ, catering, full bar."
"Sounds nice?" Romaine ventured uncertainly, twisting on his swivel chair to look at her. El was upset about some aspect of this party.
"It might have been, except my cousin Laura will be there," El fumed. "Laura whom I hate, not Laura I like. Nor Lana from Texas. Laura the smug asshole."
Romaine typed a few things into the database, updating some records. El's extended family seemed impossible to keep track of but he was fairly certain he'd not heard of hated!Laura before. "Right."
"If I show up alone she'll make a snide comment. She's engaged to some dumbass but he's always too busy to come anywhere with her. He's supposedly jetsetting around the world, saving illiterate llamas or building toys for endangered children or something." El shook her head. "Flashes her engagement ring, talks about her So Important work in finances in fucking London, and how Findus is combating climate change by travelling the world in aeroplanes and helicopters."
Despite the obvious hyperbole and sarcasm, Romaine had to ask. "Findus?"( Read more... )

Writing Round up
Dec. 20th, 2018 03:14 pmI've scheduled this post at my professional wordpress, tumblr, etc. However you can't yet schedule entries at DW though you can at LJ. So I'm posting this ahead of next Wednesday, the last Wednesday of the month and year.
Happy Holidays! I hope you've been having a wonderful time.
Thank you for following me, and for reading my work, for all the likes and shares and comments.
Best wishes for 2019, may it be a year of happiness and abundance for us all.
As this is the last Wednesday of the month and the year, I'll mention my previous Christmas and winter themed works, maybe there's something you haven't seen before or would like to see again. They are all ficlets from the WiP:WRE with shapeshifter friends Romaine (wolf), El (cat) and Kit (also a cat).

Fic snippet: Friendship
Aug. 15th, 2018 10:06 amFiclet from the WRE WiP. On duty at the call centre, Romaine and El talk about friendship, giving insight into their dynamic – and El’s relationships.
After the caller hung up, Romaine watched El for a while. At last she leaned back in her chair, rolling her head around her shoulders.
“You okay, Rommie?” she asked, catching his eye.
“Just thinking. We get a lot of calls about broken relationships, broken friendships, and issues that wouldn’t be so bad if someone had a close confidant to talk to. I’m used to being mostly alone but calls like that one make me wonder if I need more friends, or if the chances of finding someone who won’t stab me in the heart – metaphorically – are so low that it’s not worth the risk.”
Woods. He didn’t speak the name aloud; his ex-partner, whose inaction at best had led to Romaine getting shot.
El spun her chair around. “This job makes you think about things,” she said. “About your own life. And it’s good to reflect. But don’t let it change who you are. If you like being alone, so be it. And if you want friends then hey; I can’t promise never to piss you off, but I’m generally loyal and aren’t we already friends?”
Romaine blinked a few times. “Sure.”
“Sure?” El repeated, mock horror in her tone. “One word answers like that can be a sign of insincerity you know.”
“You took me by surprise.” Romaine shook his head. “How do you know when you’re friends? How do you know when you’re in love even? Or if you meet someone as a friend and then suddenly you’re dating?”
El shrugged. “I guess you just know? Things can develop gradually and no-one has to say ‘Hey, want to be friends’ because you just are. There’s no proposal, like when you get engaged, not for friendships. As for love, well, I distrust the idea of love at first sight. You have to get to know someone whether you’re dating or befriending them. There is the ‘I love you’ moment in a romantic relationship but love…that’s a big and complicated word. I love my parents, my sister, my nieces, and pizza, but all in different ways.”
The phone rang and she answered. Romaine got an email and as he opened it, he couldn’t help noting that El’s boyfriend hadn’t got a mention in the list of her loves.
As background, Romaine just took a call from a man going through a rough patch, whose previously close friend had made things worse with some insensitive remarks.
Pretty personal one for me this time, and a cut down version of what I was going to post because someone told me my characters are too depressing to deal with.
This was a hard one to post at this point but writing is about pushing our own boundaries. I really need a Romaine or an El in my life, someone who can listen without judgement and be supportive when I need it, the way they are there for each other.

Fic Snippet: A Pleasant Afternoon
Jul. 4th, 2018 09:48 amA pleasant afternoon
WiP: WRE fic snippet. Romaine and El spend a lazy Sunday together. (Note: Armand is Romaine's middle name.)
After lunch they slumped on El's sofa, drank more wine, listened to some music. El put the TV on and found a showing of Princess Bride, the movie only five minutes in, and they watched the rest. Halfway through El served up generous slices of chocolate cake and made coffee.
When El had finished her cake she tucked herself up on the sofa, feet on the cushion, knees against Romaine's leg, one arm against his, sharing his warmth.
After the movie, Romaine stretched, sorry to dislodge El but feeling stiff. "Fancy a walk?"
She nodded. "Want me to walk the Wolf?"
"Would you? Thanks."
Romaine went upstairs to get ready, El saying she needed to use the toilet, tie up her hair, and find a coat.
A few minutes later she came to meet him, pushing open the door which he'd left ajar. She was wearing a grey hoodie with the slogan "I am a cat" on it and the hood even had little ears sewed on it. Romaine, now in wolf form, snorted at the hiding in plain sight pun and then used his nose to nudge the collar and lead he'd found from a bottom drawer and put on the coffee table.
El put the collar on him but not too tightly. The lead was a slip lead, a green and white striped cord with a leather stopper which she didn't bother to adjust since he wouldn't be pulling at her, and a large hand holder loop.
"Keys?" she asked. Romaine whined, having forgot about that and gestured to the key box.
El picked up his keys and slid them into her pocket alongside her own, clipped to the belt loop on her trousers for security.
She pulled the door so it locked behind them. On the way out, they met Mrs Calloway, just coming back in with a newspaper tucked beneath her arm.
"Oh this must be that beautiful dog," Mrs Calloway said. "Can I pet him?"

A snippet from WiP novel WRE. El and Romaine meet fellow shapeshifter Kit (who took on a bigger part earlier than I'd expected, he could not be merely background until the second planned, if currently far-off, book!)
One use of bad language.

Ficlet: Goats
Mar. 14th, 2018 09:54 am
This is a character moment I wrote about the character's shared sense of humour. It will require some editing if it's actually to be included in the novel WiP so I'll share it here as is. Inspired by this advert
If there was one incident Romaine had to point to that summed up how he and El were on exactly the same wavelength and thereby such good partners, it was this, which happened three months into El's probationary period.
They visited a farm where there'd been reports of a sighting of a dangerous supernatural. The farmer who'd reported the creature to the agency eyed them with misgiving, chewing on his pipe. Romaine assured him that he was able to handle the creature and had dealt with them before.
"It's not that," the man said. "You'll have to cross the goat paddock to get to the field where I saw it last. Nasty buggers, some of them. Sharp hooves."
Romaine and El, in unison, as if they had rehearsed it, said solemnly, "I ain't afraid of no goats."
The man, understandably not reassured, shrugged and gestured for them to go ahead, goats, ghosts, hooves or creatures be damned.

Fic: Cookies
Dec. 20th, 2017 11:29 amSet in the WiP WRE verse. 445 words. No warnings apply.
“They’re awful,” El said, turning her back on the cookies, almost tearful.
Romaine had never seen perfectionist El before. But then last Christmas, when they were both working at the helpline, she’d booked leave and gone on holiday with her family. He’d never witnessed the intensity of her yuletide celebrations firsthand.
“They don’t look that bad,” Romaine said.( Read more... )
