#DVParty Day 2

Letyf: an anxious elf who lost his magic as a child. All he wants is to be Useful™️but he's pretty sure everyone hates him & can tell that he's just going to make things worse.

Only time will tell if he can focus, accept his allies' trust, & maybe extend a little trust of his own...

"To live freely, I have only one path left — and it may be the last."

"Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch."

Spoiler, in the next line... he misses.

Opening line:

my favorite quote from Redistribution of Pain keeps playing in my head as I climb the stairs two at a time (this happens when I get bleak about things): “in life you have to play the hand you’re dealt - the global government just keeps shuffling the deck...violently”

Local man goes to the river after a terrible storm and almost drowns in mud. "He's totally fine," says the voice of god in his head. "Don't give into his dramatics."

Really loving to see everyone's first lines for their projects in preparation for DVPit #DVParty

I wanted to get involved too, so here's the first line of 'Wild Growth', a fantasy novel.

#DVPARTY Day 3:Daughters of the Bayou is a YA Southern Gothic Fantasy.
It happened again. Another nightmare with fragmented faces of boys I can't quite place. But last night was different.This time there were no faces at all, just a pair of bright red sneakers, so vivid I could see the scuff marks.

ARLANTA OF THE SKIES

Arlanta soared along the Edge, nothing beneath but empty sky that stretched all the way to the Surface. A blanket of cloud lay below, meaning those beneath endured a grey, sunless day while she and her countryfolk enjoyed beaming sunshine.

#DVparty #A #F LA FOLIA
Snowflakes dance in the night, catching the candlelight that ebbs from paneled casements. My winter boots, the most expensive things I own, carry me over cobblestones just beginning to freeze. The sturdy, ribbed footwear were worth every drop of sweat & blood that earned them

VENOM IN THE CLAWS—my YA gothic fantasy inspired by THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO with revenge, ghosts, adventure, court intrigue, and romance—starts off short and… maybe not sweet, that’s not always the vibe here 🖤🐍⚔️

Anyway:

I was twelve the first time I tried to assassinate my fiancé.
