ROY G BIV tag game

Thank you @thewriteflame for the tag!

Rules: Search your WIP for the colours of the rainbow and post the excerpt

I will be taking my excerpts from my original fic Renegade Heiresses WIPs.

Red (Prodigal Heiress)

The fairness of her skin in her face, however, was marred by a visible scar on the left cheek and barely visible under face powder. Her lips had been dark red, full and begging for a kiss— Justin shook his head. What was he thinking? Was he contemplating kissing her lips and licking the lipstick off her lips? His mysterious savior? How absurd!

Orange

Yellow Gold (Prodigal Heiress)

Though it had been a week since they first met (or was it?), she remembered the invitation sent to her office above Francisca’s bookshop. It was an ecru card with black and gold gilded frames interlocked at the border, and the letter prints elegant yet powerful.

Green (Prologue)

Once out of sight, she removed her beaded green slippers and walked down the volada where she encountered a woman in a less elegant version of the terno and whose face registered shock at seeing her. It might have been her forest green terno with bronze-hued pañuelo, tapis, and cola or that Francisca stared at her dead in the eye. She might have scared the woman either by her presence or stare, making her back out and disappear into the dark. Strange woman, Francisca thought as she resumed trying to find where the Señorita had run off to.

Blue (Prodigal Heiress)

Then the blue-attired performer—she recognized to be Luisa Confesor—snapped her head up and stepped forward in a dramatic fashion, approaching to the microphone. She commanded the attention of the patrons, though Clarisse could not make much of everyone’s reactions.

Indigo

Violet

Tagging @winterandwords, @avoidingcertaindoom, @laplumedemaureen, but this is also an open tag to those who want to join in the party.

Happy writing!

#other writers #it's perfectly normal to think of smooching your savior Justin

i hate you "pair the spares"/"everyone must be paired" tropes, i hate you forced last minute romances, i hate you implication that a happy ending means a romantic partner, i hate you amatonormativity

#proud to announce none of my current wips has this

Writer's friends when they listen to the writer explaining the plot to their story:

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

"fuck you, my child is fine" your child spent 6+ hours researching how a particular dye was made in tenth century england and then ultimately decided that they didn't need to include that detail in their novel

Writeblrs who play tag games: How do you interact with the writeblr/post that tagged you?

Twin poll: How do you interact with posts/writing that result from YOU tagging others?

I’m asking specifically about writer tag games—Last Line, Heads Up Seven Up, OC in Fifteen, etc.

Assumptions of this poll:

#1: You saw the tag and you DO want to play/participate/pass it on.

#2: You DO tag the person in your post (“I was tagged by @/so-and-so…”)

#3: “Reblogs” include instant and queued reblogs.

#4: For the purposes of this poll, organizational tags like #other WIPs or #your writing count as the ‘no tags’ option even though they are, in fact, tags. (If it’s only those, not accompanied by comments on what the person wrote.)

An 'Other/Explain' example might be: You reblog their post, adding your participation to create a reblog chain. Some folks acknowledge the writing of their tagger in comments or tags; some do not.

Thanks for helping to sate my curiosity!

#polls #I try to comment in tags #but only after I've done the game so I know I did it #I also like the post
