the king about why her son was cloned, and she'll be there when the bad guys take the families hostage... This might be book 2 material.

Good question! :D

I don't think I really hit on "sad" moments much but...MC's progenitor's mom was wailing when he left to join the military, and he left angry at her. MC has to go visit her at the end of the story and make up for it.

I read a chapter aloud just today for writer's club! My voice dries out after about four pages.

However, I read short bits aloud to myself all the time. Especially dialogue, to make sure it sounds natural.

The World Court has great medical care, but lousy education. This WILL change, but right now kids get lost and only attend with their parents' permission--orphans or wards of the state are left out.

I intended it to be a place of inclusion but I broke it.

No more than 5 editing lessons in a week, haha.

I've got 2 hernias and I'm not allowed to do basically any cleaning--no heavy lifting, bending, or carrying--so I might see if I can get someone to come help me clean my house. Depends on the bank's computers.

#WeeknightWriters #CourtroomGhost
Specific struggles this week:
-getting gas for my truck
-sleeping through the night
-edits!
-No really, edits.
-Taking a brain break and using my time wisely

Also, my paycheck came in but the bank's computers went down so I can't access it. 🙃

@danzierlea.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 11:21 PM

#WeeknightWriters #CourtroomGhost Well... It's been up and down. I'm taking a brain day today (so of course I read through lesson 6 and printed the worksheets, but I'm not DOING them...some break lol) because I've been snippy at people around me lately and that's not good of me.

Trying again since I posted the wrong quote.

Hi all, I'm Liz and I'm doing massive edit work on #CourtroomGhost. I'm following Holly Lisle's How To Revise Your Novel class, and I've done five weeks of work in five days because I couldn't let myself stop.

MC's weakness is his naive belief that every wrong can be put right.

But I really think that's also his strength, because he's willing to do the work to find ways of making things better. He's not jaded yet.

Actually getting to this for a change!

The World Court started out as a pirate base in the tunnels and caves underground. Above-ground the city was planned, and then there was major conflict between the pirates and the city builders (who I haven't named yet).

In which MC, having been awake for half a day, can't sleep.

Two hours into the night, the ghost appeared beside the bed. Go to sleep, he said. 
Can't sleep, I told him. There's too much going on in my head. 
Your thoughts are like wind whisking leaves around in a tempest, he replied. Let the wind go. It will come back, but while it's gone you sleep. He disappeared again. 
I wondered how he did that. But the thought was another leaf whisking around my mind, and with some effort I let it go. Sleep came at last. 
But it didn't come empty. 

The word "effort" is highlighted in blue.

From where MC reveals the ghost to his best friend.

"Kai, you're a damn soldier. You – *we* have a whole laundry list of things we've done that nobody could call good. What wrongs does he want you to right?"
"All of them."

Oh. Oh no.
MC is visually infamous enough that potential dunkers won't try it for fear of being targeted by the government.

UNTIL KRISSY DUNKS HIM.

The villain, especially when he reappears. And the characters talk about wanting to punch each other, which may carry over to the readers if I do it wrong.

Challenge: Sum up your story in 30 words or less.

#CourtroomGhost Sentence: With a squad of wronged clones' help, a haunted clone assassin must survive deadly enemies to bring his case against the evil cloning doctor to the besieged World Court. (29)

MC, Ravi, and Orion have been each other's sparring partners for years. They're a little out of practice now, but they get back into fighting form pretty quickly.

"You've been working yourself to exhaustion for most of a week," Ravi said at last. "You're distracting yourself. Kai did that. Worked until he couldn't stay awake, passed out, got up four or six hours later and did it again."

I mixed it up a little in the opener of CG, with snippets of Kai's memories opening each chapter until part 2.

I don't really have another medium I'd like to try; mom was a painter and taught me a lot about art so I know it's not my area. My brother does music...
