"What's happened, officer?" she asked, exasperated.
"Is a Robert Smith here?"
"Yes," she said. "What has he done?"
"I'm just here to return his wallet," he said. "It fell out of his pocket when he tripped." He handed it over.
"Oh. Thank you," she said, accepting it. (3/4) #wss366

"I… I don't know what to say," she said, at this transparent lie. "If you're getting bullied, please tell me. Let me help!"
He started to say something when the doorbell rang. His mother answered the door. A police officer stood on the step. (2/4) #wss366

He tried to sneak in the door, but his mother caught him.
"Stop right there, young man," she said. "What happened to you?"
He had a black eye, the knees of his pants were torn, and his knuckles were swollen and bleeding.
"I just tripped," he said. "OK?" (1/4) #wss366

Ta-taso isn't sure she likes it when I grasp her muppies. But they're irresistibly soft and velvety. #DogsOfMastodon

I attended the #WriteAngles conference yesterday. I learned a lot and had an outstanding experience. https://stevendbrewer.com/write-angles-2025/

I basically only ever use #trip in dialog…

One of the things I enjoy about #wss366 is searching through my fiction to see how I've used a particular word in the past. Here are some examples for today's word:

"Thank you!" she said. "You're such a dear! And so helpful during the #trip!" *Docklands*

"She… Uh… She's not with us on this #trip," Cecelia said. *Lady Cecelia's Trial*

"Ssh. You really need to be quiet for a few minutes, because if you wake anyone up, this is going to be the shortest #trip in history." *Something Else to Do*

#WritersCoffeeClub How do you keep track of dates and events in a WIP?

It depends. Usually I have a text document with notes to keep events in order. But in the *Revin's Heart* series, I created a CSV file because there are so many characters and events.

In my forthcoming book, *A Familiar Problem*, there is a countdown because the demon that captures Rory as her familiar has 100 tralongs (sorta like a day) to train him before the tournament, so each chapter has the countdown as a subheading.
