Definitely unfair - so unfair. Poor, poor Tennyson. 🤭🤭🤭

From Tennyson's arc of The Atlas Brothers Break the Multiverse

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

“You’re saying you flirted with me because you could tell I like boys?  Is that it?  A targeted attack on gay?”
Emmanuel’s hand gently caught his wrist, the tongs hovering over the last cookie.  He dropped the piece of lemon peel in surprise.  Emmanuel smoothed his brown thumb over the inside of Tennyson’s wrist, over his pulse point and the sensitive skin there.  
“I’m saying I flirted because you’re cute and I knew you’d be receptive,” he said, his voice going low with that same tone that had made Tennyson stupid last time, the one that slid over his skin like rich, dark coffee.
Tennyson’s breath hitched.  It was unfair of Emmanuel to use that voice now.  Unfair of him to run fingertips over Tennyson’s skin in sensitive places.  Unfair to look at him with dark eyes big and full lips still dotted with a tiny smear of cookie icing.  Fucking hell…

I have been imagining this scene for a loooong time. I'm pleased with how it turned out. Someone else showed up in it that I hadn't realized existed until after the first draft was done!

He tried to say, “Azza,” but his lungs convulsed again.
Blood oozed into the linen of her clothes from scraped skin.
Her lips were blue. He felt for her pulse. It was thin and fast. She was dying.
No! They won’t take another one!

Hi-hi, night friends. Happy little reminder that I wrote a ... not-so-happy horror short story! Perfect for the spooky season! Free, pay what you want. It's a bit gruesome but probably my favorite short story I've written overall.

Note to my writer self: Not every character has to speak in riddles, koans, and psychedelic poetic fragments.

#AwesomeCharacters

Ahvram would be really good at gymnastics, but he would never know.

Hector is a dancer so that settles that.

Ru is a trapeze artist and swimmer.

Bonus: Merros would be good at being an octopus and fitting in impossibly small spaces.

six inches of black thread got me thinking about instructions for unraveling

Thanks to @madp03t.bsky.social and
#AmpersandAfterDark #prompt

#prompt #poetry #blueskypoetry #writesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #poets #creativewriting

instructions for unraveling

except where it catches the light,
black thread is nearly invisible in the dark.

six inches have come loose.

i measured them where they lay against my hand.

the rest is still there.

somewhere at another end
you are holding.

I think 4 rejections in a morning, 3 from agents you were pretty hopeful about, is probably enough…

Feeling pretty devastated today. I’ve been toeing the line of giving up for months now. My story just doesn’t seem to have a place in publishing.

I come up with some really weird names for my characters. How about you, #writesky ?

Handy reference 😉👋🏻

We only follow geniuses here. Jk 😹 More seriously: What is stopping you from writing that book? #writesky

@holfelderwatson.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:43 AM

Hey there! It's us, ALC Holfelder and SB Watson!

We're reintroducing our WIP as it's new working title of Matched Magic: Smoke on the Horizon #MM:SOTH (Formerly #Cursed). Urban fantasy ft a birth divination prophecy, cursed to vanish, fancy magic, vampires, and set in #Pittsburgh.

#Writesky

A mood board for the WIP Matched Magic: Smoke on the Horizon by ALC Holfelder and SB Watson. 

Starting at the upper left corner: a large photo of four tarot cards with a spooky candle; there is a smaller picture of two hands with dark nails dealing tarot cards. A medium photo of a hand with fire coming out of the palm; there is a small red Aries sign. A black and white photo of the city of Pittsburgh. Beneath this photo is a picture of a female vampire with white hair and blood red lips with blood dripping from her mouth. Inset is a snippet of the definition of “evil” from the dictionary. To the left is a picture of a hand with the index finger extended and a spark of light emanating from the finger. Inset is a gold Taurus sign and two small black *. To the left there is a picture of a sword handle with a small inset of the Aries sign. In the middle is the title of the book “Matched Magic: Smoke on the Horizon. Faintly behind the words is the shadow of the skyline of Pittsburgh.

End description.

Well, Ryu is already a huge baseball nut, and is trying to establish a league.

Ian would do well at something slow and methodical that requires precision, like pool or snooker.

Nico would be a great boxer... until he gets banned for stomping on his opponent's face.

Hockey in the north sehorean regions is particularly brutal for reasons no one can really nail down (residual influence from Primal Gods when aggression is gathered in one place) (1/2)

@melroseauthor.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:37 AM

I (hand)wrote 10 pages today! Which means I'm a little over 1% of the way done with this new draft.
Wish me luck!

There are the usual games like Soccer (futbol), baseball and hockey, and basket ball. Of course magics are not allowed in most places. But some street leagues and games do allow it.
