I started working on a short horror story called "No One Lives In Ashmere" tonight. Here's a taste. #WriterSky #BookSky #HorrorSnip

Snippet from "No One Lives In Ashmere", a horror story bout a paranormal investigator walking through an empty town that fills her with false memories of having lived there. She repeats "No one lives in Ashmere" to ground herself in reality.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Yolanda Montez and Courtney Whitmore, aka Wildcat and Stargirl. Yolanda is dressed in a black cat themed superhero costume, while Courtney is wearing a blue superhero costume with white stars. Yolanda has long black hair, while Courtney has shoulder-length wavy blond hair.

This is brought up so little that I didn't even know there was a sequel until I found its version of "A Girl Worth Fighting For" on YouTube by accident. I've seen it now. Very poor choices were made.

It's only mentioned in passing, but the Cranston High cheer squad is seen here dressed in "distinctive-red and-black uniforms." The POV character is dressed in a soccer uniform, since she and her friends just came from practice. This is shortly before the inciting incident. #SummerOfStories 9

A short snippet from "Rise of the Ocean Guardian" by Arthur Clybourne, featuring three soccer players and a cheerleader hanging out after their respective practices.

For those who aren't familiar with Seattle, allow me to introduce our coolest resident, the Fremont Troll. He lives under the Aurora Bridge. As you can see, he has captured an unfortunate Volkswagen driver.

This is how I learned that neither "orca" nor "orcas" are included in my writing software's dictionary by default. 😅 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriterSky

Initial worldbuilding for the Elemental Guardians series. I had a brief mental lapse where I accidentally paired the Ocean Guardian Mech with the Sky Guardian. 😄 #BookSky #WriterSky

Only one of these things can be true. Either that post has at least one like or it doesn't. Make it make sense please, Bluesky.

It's not my pet, but here's the cutest zoo animal I've ever had the pleasure of encountering.

I'm comfort reading this book. I also rented "Detective Conan vs. Lupin the 3rd for a future comfort watch."

This is not what Lonnie actually says in this scene. He says "Im'ma take this trash out, then we can get crackin'." No idea why it was changed so radically. #YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan

Lonnie Lincoln from Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man spends time with his family. The subtitle reads "Let's get started after I take the trash out."

Lila loves animals! She has a friend who runs a wildlife repopulation center. Her favorite animal is the golden lion tamarin. But they're an endangered species, so she wouldn't take one as a pet. #AwesomeCharacters

Love that #LifeIsStrangeReunion is acknowledging the teleporting question. My personal theory on this is that people just rationalize it away. I mean, if someone was suddenly appeared next to me, I'd probably just assume I hadn't noticed them walking up to me.

I was a teenager in 2004, and I'm not sure I would have called this a casual outfit. #ResidentEvilRemake

I finally got the picture onto my phone. The video seems to be gone, though.
