Really enjoying this #WIP so I'll keep sharing as many snips as possible. "Destroy" is a good word here. #WIPSnips #amwriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

In the parallel universe, Sassia is confined in place, but I doubt she'll stay contained for long. From untitled #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity
Hopefully Sassia can get back to her correct universe, but she'll have to be patient. From untitled #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity
Faces play a key part in Mirror Me so I had to go with this inciting incident near the front. #WIPSnips #amquerying #WriteSky #writingcommunity
The first time Sassia walks into her own house in an alternate universe - but she doesn't know it yet. From untitled #WIP #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Nice take! Yeah, she's thrown into it.

Omesu is having an existential crisis. Her gods might not be gods. Her calling might be wizardry, not petty magics. The man who may fulfill the prophecy is a liar and a spy for an enemy country. That same man is also her closest friend and definitely doomed to die. This sucks. #WSPit #W #A #F #LGBT

THE OPENING The world was awash in silver and shadow. Her feet were bare and frozen, the milky outline just visible amongst the spidery fronds of wet grass that clung to her skin and the hem of her nightgown. As dark and grasping as water weeds. This was not one of her nightmares. The kind that ripped her from sleep. That felt like drowning. Suffocating. There was no home spun blanket, no rustle of hand-stuffed pillow. The wind dragged dark strands of copper across her face as she scanned her surroundings. A circular clearing sliced a space through the dark trees. The branches reached for her, swaying and creaking like brittle bones,. It was the farthest she had ever travelled in her sleep
