From my picture book, ROMI IS NERVOUS, starring our real cat, ROMEO! I didn't have "fuzzy," so I used "furry."

“I’m sure you won’t be here long before you find your forever family!” she said. “I just know it.”
She walked off, and I watched her go. Nerves crept into my furry chest again now that she was leaving me all alone.
I meowed. The lady came back. She petted my head. I purred extra-loud.
“It’s okay, Romi. You’re safe now. I know it’s scary, but I promise it’ll get less scary. I have a special shirt you can wear and a treat that will help you feel calm. Would you like that? I’m here for you, too.”
I started to feel calmer, and my purr slowed down. Soon, I was asleep.

Hello world! I'm a debut #fantasy #author who is in the #QueryTrenches right now. I needed something to get my mind off of redoing my synopsis for the 50th time, so I wrote a silly #parody of "The Night Before Christmas" entitled "The Day before Querying." Let me know if you can relate. #amquerying

Bots/scammers, whatever they are, always think they've got me fooled in comments, but they don't. They ask the most annoying questions. 🤣

#WIPSnips #amquerying #writesky #epicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚

From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. Continuing the conversation between Malgrim, a foreign minstrel, and Zorrik, the cheerful Inquisitor.

Fuzzy eyebrows rose on Zorrik’s face. “My apologies, I meant no offense. A Ferruthan minstrel in Escala is such a curiosity,” he said. “But you say Bizal has sponsored an entire troupe? I would not have thought him a music lover.”
With a cautious smile, Malgrim said, “I despair that my employer is actually tone-deaf.”
“Now that sounds more like the Archduke I know. More interested in the rules of law than the subtleties of art.” Zorrik sighed. “Which is why I am surprised he hasn’t submitted a roster of your group to my office. Such a large number of foreigners should be registered with my department so that they can be observed by my demon-hunters.”
Malgrim blinked. “Demon-hunters?”
No wonder Grath had run from this man. Zorrik was far more dangerous than a simple teacher if he could command demon-hunters. Would Malgrim even understand the risks of an Ordeal if one of his minstrels was accused of magery? Would Bizal protect his investment by shielding the caravan?
“Archduke Bizal has been preoccupied with the Baron’s Moot, as a candidate for the crown,” Kahyla said. “If you brought your concerns to him directly, he could provide assurances.”
Malgrim frowned at this deflection to his employer. Zorrik craned his neck, searching through the crowd.

It might not seem like it, but this blanket has an important character development reveal later on.

The grayness of the room also fit his memories, a sleek and impersonal slate… except for the bright orange crocheted blanket folded over the arm of the couch.
Perry felt the edge of the blanket between his fingertips. The blanket was soft and fuzzy, the color glaring, the folding precise, and it definitely hadn’t been here six months ago.

A frequently used #WIPSnips I think, but my only use of “fuzzy.” #amwriting #amquerying #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #fantasy

@rammwriter.bsky.social Oct 10, 2026, 12:50 PM

I don't have the actual word fuzzy, but I can offer this rather fuzzy chase scene.

He pinches the light with his thumb and forefinger and stretches it, putty-like, until it’s long and fibrous. Then he loops it over his finger and shapes it into a tiny knot.
He flicks it in my face.
I sputter and sneeze. My head fills with a warm, fuzzy glow.
“What’s the Moth King planning?” he asks.
“I don’t know,” my mouth replies.
Shit. My brain did not authorize those words.

BBMak, all the way. They were so incredibly underrated, & they had just absolutely INCREDIBLE harmonies. My dream is to have them record the theme song and have a resurgence in popularity!

You remember them, I swear!!
