๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ข๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ & ๐ฆ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ง - ๐ก๐๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐ How would your MC spend the New Years? Neve wouldn't do much of anything. She'd stay home and watch TV. Here is a snippet about how Neve spends New Years! Enjoy! *** Nothing moved. Nothing echoed. Nothing hummed. Fireworks ruptured the silence, booming through the frosty night air. I whispered out a soft sigh and plopped down on the soft, somewhat dilapidated couch, bottle of sparkling grape juice in hand. The seat next to me remained empty no matter how much I tried to pretend that he sat there saying my name. Neve. I took a swig from the bottle and grabbed the television remote. The television screen shifted from black to a sparkling ball. People danced in the streets watching a band play. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The host shouted with glee, โHappy New Year!โ I held up my bottle to the television screen to give my salutations. Then I downed the entire bottle in one gulp. *** ๐๐๐ #nowipwritersway #snippetsaturday #yafantasyauthor #amwritingfantasy #authortkkhan #authorsofig #writerscommunity #writerswritesnippets #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingofinstagram #writingsofinstagram #iamwriting #fantasybookstagram #writingfantasy #bookstagrammersunite #fantasybookstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookishfeed #writersofinstagram #creativewriting #writersconnection #writersociety #authorsofinsta #writersofinsta #fantasyauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #authorgram #authorssupportingauthors #fantasywriter (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4Sn9wrpBE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

โ๏ธ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐จ๐ฃ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฆ๐งโ๏ธ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ฆ A Festivus for the rest of us! For those not in the know, Festivus is a non-religious holiday celebrated on December 23rd. Screenwriter Dan OโKeefe popularized it on an episode of the TV show โSeinfeld.โ People of all faiths have adopted the holiday to celebrate the end of the year without all the commercialism and pressure that comes with the Holidays. Festivus celebrations involve gathering around an aluminum pole and engaging in various quirky traditions like โfeats of strengthโ and โairing of grievances.โ So if youโre looking for a fun way to celebrate the holidays, look no further than Festivus! ๐๐ข๐ฌ What brings you joy? For me, itโs my family and friends and the love that I get surrounded by daily. Then itโs the little things like coffee or tea in the morning and listening to a new song by my favorite artist. All forms of art mean a lot to me, especially music. Reading a good book that makes me feel happy and helps me stay motivated and inspired when Iโm working on something new. And all that time that we spend with our family, friends, and loved ones is just icing on the cake. What brings you joy? โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ #authorlife #familyandfriendstime #writingcommunityofig #nowipwritersway #bringhappiness #lovedones #instacoffeelovers #feelhappy #coffeeortea #bringjoy #authorscommunity #familyandfriends #holidaystime #joy #instareader #familyandfriendsareeverything #airingofgrievances #littlethingsmakemehappy #writerslifeforme #bringsyoujoy #featsofstrength #instareading #festivus #writinglife #goodbookstoread #festivusfortherestofus #authorslifeSeinfeld #Seinfeldfestivus #authorslife #writerslife #writinglife (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmi4yVbO3_4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

โ๏ธ๐ ๐ข๐ข๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ & ๐ฃ๐ข๐๐ โ๏ธ I thought I'd do my prompt a little differently today and write a poem instead of a snippet. I haven't shared a poem in a while. This poem is about Neve from my upcoming fantasy romance Snow White and the Guardians of the Sword. The theme in this poem is loneliness and how Neve embraces loneliness and uses it as a strength that leads her to her found family. ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ She let silence take over filling her heart with clover. Acres at play, standing still, the wilderness of her will. She's a lover of silence, shining down in defiance. Release ships into the night. Last of us to seek the light. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writers #bookstagram #poetsofig #writingcommunity #spilledink #bookish #instapoet #poetryisnotdead #creativewriting #author #fantasybook #loverofsilence #authorsofinstagram #fantasybookseries #nowipwritersway #bealoverofsilenceday #silenceisgolden #writerscommunity #instapoetry #igpoets #instapoem #poetryofinstagram #wordsmith #poemsofinstagram #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #darkacademiastyle (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cme4jBtPqy4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

๐SOURCES OF INSPIRATION ๐ What excites you about writing fantasy? I love the idea of being transported to another world, with it's own unique rules and possibilities. It's like a mental vacation, where I can let my imagination run wild. And who doesn't love a good adventure? I can't wait to explore the world I'm creating and see where the story takes me. It's always a fun adventure! What stories have inspired you? Rick Riordan's books have inspired me for Snow White and the Guardians of the Sword. I love how he writes his own modern spin on mythology while respecting the source material. GO FOR A RIDE DAY What's your character's ride for the day? Neve doesn't have a car. But, Georgiana from my Regency Romance novel gets driven around in a carriage. ๐๐๐ #writersoninstagram #transportationtuesday #nowipwritersway #fantasyauthorsofinstagram #fantasynovel #goforarideday #writingcommunityofinstagram #writertalktuesday #thewritercommunity #writerscorner #authorscommunity #fantasybookseries #fantasyauthorlife #fantasyfiction #fantasyauthor #fantasybooksseries #themooncometandskychallenge #regencycore #carriagerides #fantasybook #scifiauthor #fantasyauthors #scifiwriter #fantasybookslover #scifigirl #authorsofig #fantasybookstagram #writingsociety #regencyromance #fantasybooksofinstagram (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRb1myLO6K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

๐๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐ก๐ Can you believe it's next year already?!! ๐คฏ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฎ My biggest goal for 2022 is to finish writing Snow White and the Guardians of the Sword. I am determined to finish writing this book! ๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ก๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐๐ I didn't make any of my writing goals this month. My entire family and I were sick with the flu. I barely wrote because this month was exhausting and busy. After spending some time away from the keyboard, I am ready now to dust off my writing tools and get back into the game. Itโs a weird feeling, coming back from a writing break. Like thinking your fire for writing has been extinguished and only to find you were just misdirected. One of the things that really helped me was finding writing prompts to ignite the fire and get things moving again. ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ข๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ข๐๐ The most festive I'm being is breaking out a bottle of sparkling grape juice and watching Rockin' Eve. But, I broke out the red lipstick again for today too! Yay! ๐๐๐ Happy New Year everyone! ๐๐๐ #authorlife #bookstagram #writers #writersofinstagram #bookishlife #authorslife #bookstagrammers #writerscorner #writersofinsta #writersoninstagram #writerssociety #writersconnection #writinggoals #bookstagramcommunity #authorselfie #authorofmylife #writerslifeforme #bookstagramming #newyeargoals #authorsofinstagram #bookish #newyearsresolutions #writerso๏ฌg #authorgram #happynewyear2023 #writingsociety #spillthewintertea #themoonsolsticeandskychallenge #nowipwritersway #writingmotivation (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4IH6dLxmr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
