Another #WIPSnips from an incomplete book 2 of ✨The Annora Project✨ #writesky #writingcommujity #writingprompts

Cael might be the jokester of the group, but he’s also one heck of an engineer.

Fynn’s POV—
I don’t blame the woman, Nora’s clothes hang so loosely on her petite frame, it’s like she borrowed them from a giant. She’s going to need the extra fuel to build up her strength—not that I plan on letting her fight. When this is all over, it might kill me, but I’ll help her go back. If that’s what she wants. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping she’d choose to stay here with me. “Ah. Nevermind. Your girl’s here I see.” Cael gives me a look, practically shoveling the rice into his mouth. “Sorry, what did you say? It’s hard to decipher between the sounds you make when you eat and actual conversation.” “Oh pardon me.” He snorts, dabbing his napkin ceremonially at the corners of his mouth like he has some semblance of manners. “I said, how did our girl do at training today? I figured you were watching her like a hawk, so…” “Our girl?” “Yeah, I have a feeling Annora and I are going to be besties. She actually laughs at my jokes, unlike some people I know.” Exhaling loudly, I sigh, running a hand through my hair. Cael was my first friend, after Zane and I… And I know he’d never try to take Nora from me, but jealousy threatens to bubble over when she sits down next to him, directly in front of me. The ridiculous grin on his face tells me he knows I’m pissed, and he’s here for it. “There she is! First training session, and lookie here” —He gently grips her chin, turning her face both to the right and the left as he inspects it— “she’s fully intact. Not even a scratch!” Glaring, I grip the table, white-knuckled, until he finally stops touching her. He smirks when she laughs, shaking her head as a pink blush tints her cheeks. He may be my best friend, but this idiot is looking to face me first on the training mat tomorrow. Maybe a few punches will wipe that smug look off his face.

I actually, really like to use words that are absolutely just fillers. 😵‍💫

We sometimes say this to our kids when they’re being particularly frustrating.

A #WIPSnips from book 2 of ✨The Annora Project✨ #writingcommunity #writesky

Nora’s first day of training. She’s still pissed at Fynn for lying to her, but he’s just over the moon that she’s there, with him.

Fynn’s POV—
It’s all I can do to stay rooted in place when she goes to the ground, even though I know Jackie won’t seriously hurt her. I take one step in her direction, but the firm shake of her head is enough to freeze me mid-step. She’s stronger than I give her credit for, but the need to protect her might be stronger. My side aches like a son of a gun, the bruise already forming from Liam’s strike. She’s a distraction. When she’s in the room, I can’t focus, my eyes constantly searching for her. I’m sure Cael will give me crap for it later. It’s been awhile since someone got a decent hit on me. I don’t intervene, but stay close, keeping an eye on her as Jackie shows her how to stand, how to use her core for more power. Jealousy and want burns through me. It should be my hands on her. And it’s my own damn fault that it’s not. Sweat drips from the wisps of hair that escape her braid—her shirt soaked through. It’s tempting to tease her since I know how much she hates cardio. I’m not sure what Jackie says to her as she wipes the moisture from her brow, but she smiles one of those rare Nora smiles, and it hits me like a punch to the chest. Suddenly her eyes meet mine, the smile softening a bit. Her cheeks are red from exertion, almost the color of her fiery hair. She stares at the ground when I make my way toward her—unable to stay away any longer. “My turn.”

A #WIPSnips from A Recipe for Romance 💘 #writingcommunity #writesky “burger”

There are a lot of burgers in this WIP thanks to Will’s favorite small-town bar.

Maggie’s jealous when a substitute teacher hits on Will in front of her. He finds it adorable. (They’d both deny it)
Picking at an imaginary fuzz on her blouse, she shrugged. “Well, I should probably get going soon since you have a lunch date.” “I might…haven’t asked her yet.” He avoided her gaze, reorganizing a few papers that were perfectly fine as they were. “Well, you should probably get on that. It’s almost lunch. What if she needs time to change?” Maggie slowly grabbed her purse, which was slung over a spare chair. “You’re probably right.” Will paused for dramatic effect, fingers drumming against his thigh. He shifted his weight, caught off guard by the sudden flutter of nerves. She would probably laugh in his face, but he found himself actually enjoying her company and not wanting it to end. “Well, Boss, wanna go get some lunch? Or do you need to change?” Maggie paused mid-step, eyes wide. Gesturing toward herself, she mouthed, “Me?” “Do you see another bossy woman in here?” He smirked at the glare he was getting accustomed to—maybe enjoying. “Although I’m a bit afraid to take you anywhere. You do eat regular food too, right? Your palate is probably too fancy for anything around here.” “Just because my taste buds are more sophisticated than yours, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good burger.” She folded her arms across her chest. “Is that a yes then?” He stood, mimicking her posture, knowing she wouldn’t be able to resist a challenge. Her shrug said it all—challenge accepted.
