He drained his cocktail.
"What are you eating?" she asked.
"Huh?" he said, chewing.
"What do you have in your mouth?"
"Oh! These are cherries soaked in brandy!"
"Are they good?"
"They're the best of this drink. Here! Would you like to share?" He moved to kiss her.
"Uh… No thanks!"

There was a knock. At the door was her co-worker Kyle, wearing a long, black cape.
"May I come in?" he asked.
"What's with the costume?" she said.
"What?"
"The costume! That cape! It looks rather… vampirish."
"Pish posh," he said. "Can I come in?"
"I don't know," she snapped. "Can you?"

It's cold and brutally windy — but sunny — so we braved the conditions to see the winter aconite with its flowers open.

I think they're missing a few verbs, like thrive, breathe, sleep, run, hide, blink, writher, walk, work, eat, drive, fly, swim, laze, watch, crawl, jump, touch, lick, poke, nudge, drink, masturbate, read, flick, sit, type, pour, cook, etc.

Just a suggestion: If you do a Google image search, don't scroll down more than two or three pages. The first couple of pages are probably somewhat relevant. But, after that, it's weird, creepy AI shit. Ew.

@stevendbrewer@wandering.shop - Mon, 03/16/2026 - 20:42

"Bebe doesn't want to be an anymore," she sobbed. Tears rolled down her face as she waited for the crowd to disperse. She hoped they didn't find her.
She heard a quiet ruff and felt a cold nose press against her back.
"Thanks, Tau!" she whispered.
He turned and stood guard. (2/2)

Bebe wedged herself between a dumpster and the wall as a horde of fans poured around the corner.
"Where did she go? Find her!" The fans spread out looking for her. They had seemed happy to see her at first, but they they had become demanding an unruly until she had been forced to flee. (1/2)

David French, both-sidesing polarization, writes: "It is relatively easy to support the civil rights of people you like (even if you disagree with them). It is profoundly difficult to support the civil rights of people you hate." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/opinion/trump-talarico-maga-religious-political-division.html?unlocked_article_code=1.TlA.bca9.s5KjlDTdrQv1&smid=url-share

What he doesn't say: It's one thing to hate people because of what they say and do. It's another to hate them because of their essential characteristics, like skin color, national origin, sexual orientation, etc. These are not the same.

Does your MC have or wear a signature colour?

"What colors do you want on his doublet, Sir Revin?"
"What?"
Cedric looked down at him.
"He's not a Belthingstone squire. What are YOUR colors?"
"I'm not a noble," Revin said. "I don't have a title or a coat of arms."
"Yet…" Cedric smirked.
Revin was pensive as he walked back to Ravensbelth with David.

@stevendbrewer@wandering.shop - Sat, 03/14/2026 - 19:57

Cecelia realized he was about to ask what she was doing in Highlend and so she cut in and asked him instead.
"And what brings you to Highlend, Milord?" (4/4)

<p>&quot;Cecelia! Of course! You do

@stevendbrewer@wandering.shop - Sat, 03/14/2026 - 19:57

"Cecelia! Of course! You do very much take after your sister. The resemblance is nothing short of… astonishing. Though, of course, anyone would recognize you as one of the Aspidelle girls. May I ask…" he said. (3/4)

<p>&quot;Pardon me,&quot; Cecelia said.

@stevendbrewer@wandering.shop - Sat, 03/14/2026 - 19:57

"Pardon me," Cecelia said. "I fear you have mistaken me for my older sister. It is said we look much alike." She was profoundly grateful that she was not wearing her Metterwin's ring.
"Viscount Drache Metterwin, may I Lady Cecelia Aster Aspidelle." (2/3)

As 7 bells was striking, Cecelia came down the stairs and entered the dining room. To her horror, in addition to Lord Kenderback was also Viscount Metterwin. He started when he saw her.
"Lady Kandela! What a surprise to see you here!" (1/3)

Is selling your work for money important to you when you write?

The money is not important to me, however, selling books is important for two reasons. First, I want my publisher to be able to recoup the cost of publication. It's not free to publish a book and having a book that sells well enough to at least cover its costs increases the likelihood that you can get the publisher to release more of your books. Second, sales numbers are also persuasive to agents and other publishers.

"But if you can put up some resistance, they can't take for granted that they can get a good read on your thoughts. And you force them to divide their attention."
"You slapped me," Rory said, holding his hand up to his face.
"Aw… Here," she said. "Let me kiss it and make it better." (3/3)
