I always liked this chapter title. It felt fitting as a description for depression.

For today's #WIPSnips one of my favorite similes from the 2nd half, which I've mostly avoided sharing but it's just too perfect for today's word.

The prose in Awaken, My Love is difficult to describe.

I would say it is unique.

On the night of one of the most holy days of the year, in which people honor a saint who died in the cold to save her brother, a boy stumbles into the inn, his extremities frostbitten.

#WIPSnips Very few instances in Healing's Whisper, given my MC & myself share a love for storms.

The weather had a way of making him smile when nothing else could. He looked longingly into the dark rolling storm clouds, wishing somewhere deep within his body that he could be one with them.

Even though storms play a major role in #Ellamir in later volumes, those aren't written yet, so it's vibes today. Maqine storms Mrs Knight's school to rescue Hannah from the clutches of Brother Nicholls

If love was a roof to protect from the barrage and constant downpour of life, their father gave them crumbling ruins in the face of the inevitable and ever dangerous storms.
He was the inevitable and ever dangerous storm they needed protecting from.

Kinda spoilt for choice here, since most of Silver in the Ashes takes place during a multi-day storm (also apposite given the weather outside right now), but here's Mortimer taking a brief moment to consider the current situation
