@itsamabee.bsky.socialLOVE #Favelinefriday!
I enjoy FAR TOO MUCH being ridiculous in first drafts
@scarletvmitchell.bsky.socialFrom the final scene of the first Mudlark’s novella-
“Well, you’re my responsibility,” he pointed out.
“Remind me that next time you get knocked flat on your arse by *redacted*,” she countered, and they both conceded the point as a draw.
Bonus:
Jack has his weaknesses…

@sageowenwrites.bsky.social“If he didn’t have a secret he could be a hypocrite like everyone else, but instead he strove for the kind of consistency necessary for fiction. Real people could be messy, conflicted. Fabrications had to be neat, logical, linear.”
@acturek.bsky.socialEdited in BK this week:
After Cerel confronted Rushak, provoking a physical altercation which proved very satisfying for Rush.
BQ: Rush’s anti-talent is behaving in a romantic way. He just can’t pull it off without painful awkwardness!
@maruthauthor.bsky.socialI couldn’t pick one line so here’s a small scene.
@geniuslemur.bsky.socialOur hero speculates about the opponent she hasn't met. #AWingAndAPrayer drops on 10/3!
But you didn’t need demons, or ghouls, or monsters, did you? Not when you had men like Il Duce or the new chancellor of Germany.

Her boy tumbled to the ground as she landed, his golden blood staining the grass.
Great tears of liquid fire fell from Looccup's eyes. *How could I have let them hurt him.*
Lawcket managed to smile up at her. “I'm okay.”

@micheleos.bsky.social#FaveLineFriday "She smiled through small talk and asked him questions about his job as if she'd never heard of “equity” before."
The first trait I knew about Mega is that she thinks she's ridiculously charming & irresistible despite being consistently resisted. She thinks this date is going well 👀
@walkerharris.netFrom revisions, 2 contrasting reactions Katie (& her ND) has to 2 guys.
1: awkward reaction to hot guy 😬
2: calm with cute, kind guy 😍
Quirky Katie is my favorite Katie.😅

I could try tearing the pretzel in half, hoping it does not annoy me if I do not use a knife to more accurately cut it. However, a better, bolder idea comes to mind. I reach up and hold it out in front of his mouth.
He takes a bite. Then he hums softly and I feel it as much as hear it. “It’s still warm. And I agree. This is all very lovely.”
I take a bite and ask, “So have you just been staring at the sky this whole time?” Part of me recoils at talking to him with a bite of pretzel in my mouth, but that part is easy to quiet. I first met him by apologizing with a mouthful of cookie and every day since it has grown easier around Kyle to simply not worry about so many things that normally clutter my mind. I do not stress about following scripts of how I should act and how I should talk.
With Kyle, I can just be.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:vejdejmydqe6svdy3ut5qjdb/bafkreiflje4a73m3ejajrfpya752kozhiqxlcyyxxwl6zlnixhnjhxrjr4@jpeg)
@writing-bea.bsky.socialHappy #FaveLineFriday! It's been a very planning-heavy week for me, blocking out future chapters. But I've been working on editing this morning so I have another duel-snippet to share:
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialThis week I've been editing The Wolf Knight. It's the eighth short story for Raven & Bear. I adore this because it describes a very tender friendship between Sir Garrett and Ata which was set up from the first story.
Bonus A: Both of them whiff in romance.
#FaveLineFriday #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WIP
![An excerpt from The Wolf Knight (Raven & Bear: 8) by Bramble.
Transcript:
Princess Ata Glyndŵr pulled back a small curtain to stare wistfully at Brycheiniog’s countryside. Across from her, a young knight chuckled softly when he heard this girl sigh restlessly. She scowled at him, then frowned in pity. A blindfold covered Sir Garrett’s eyes and hid a scar splashed across his face. A staff of alder tapped Ata’s boot as that old friend admonished her.
“None of that.” A gloved hand tugged at this verdant strip of cloth before he grumbled, “it doesn’t hurt now, just itches.”

@thirdmonti.bsky.socialFave scene, really, from “To Save The Sun”
Part VI: New Wave Day
Rhina and Maestus just got bound (married for all intents and purposes) and a binding is also literal; participants’ forearms are bound with a string of pearls, hence the conversation.

@jaxdevora.bsky.socialHappy #FaveLineFriday! Share your favorite line you've worked on this week, and don't forget to support your fellow authors!
Bonus Q: What is your MC's biggest anti-talent? As in, the thing they absolutely whiff at, no matter what they do?
@joharraharper.bsky.social"Everyone always assumed we were conspiring." Matthew sighed. "We were just kids. We hung out. Went to the mall. The movies. Sleepovers. Normal kid stuff."
"With the occasional crime solving." Avery added.
@sbakelar.bsky.socialI know it's Saturday. I didn't write much this week. But this morning I had a line I wanted to share so *time travel*
#FaveLineFriday
From #ADragonForDarius Vol. 4:
"The gift of life passed from the Angel to the Dragon."
Drake is the only one who would make a cake, a functional German Chocolate.
@sainiku.northsky.social"No wonder you've become so attached to her," she teased.
Bonus Q: They make a cookie cake. Jane is booted out so that it can reach the judges without her sneaking a bite.
