💚𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥💚 In honor of Namesake Day, I invite you to choose the name for one of my minor characters! 😍 This will be for my Regency Romance Time Travel novel. She is a female character. Born into an upper middle class family. She is brilliant, but also fiercely independent and stubborn. She doesn't care much for the conventions of polite society and often says exactly what she's thinking, regardless of whether or not it's considered proper. Drop your suggestions here in the comments below! I'm excited to see what you come up with! 😁 💚💚💚 #namesakeday #writerswritesnippets #regencyromance #romanceauthor #timetravelromance #romancebookstagram #characterdevelopment #romancebookaddict #romancebooks #historicalromance (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcCoSEOQbm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

😴𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛 𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚😴 In honor of National Public Sleeping Day, Neve discovers the power of rest after an intense workout. Read on to learn about her experience and the strength she found in resting. *** I lifted the heavy iron dumbbells, curling my arms towards my chest. My muscles were beyond exertion at this point. Osbius stood nearby, watching me closely and occasionally correcting my form. "Okay," Osbius finally spoke. "It's—" With a loud clang, I threw the weights down. The sound reverberated off the brick walls like thunder. "... time to rest," Osbius finished. I lay down on the floor, feeling its cool and smooth surface against my cheek, in contrast to the blood still pumping through my veins from my workout. I couldn't keep my eyes open and soon drifted off to sleep. *** QOTD: Where is the strangest place you've fallen asleep? AOTD: I once fell asleep in Math class. In my defense, my teacher had a "Bueller... Bueller" kind of voice. 😅 😴😴😴 #writerswritesnippets #nationalpublicsleepingday #naptime #writersworld #instawriter #writtenword #restandrecovery #maketimeforyou #mywriting #fitnesstime https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPIePJgHUX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 - 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 He resembled a statue carved from rock. His face remained impassive. The muscles in his arms were taut as a bow. He was not even breathing heavy despite our strenuous session. "What is this?" "Strength training," he said. "Is this a warmup?" I wiped sweat from my brow. "Because it's one hell of a warmup. Hell being the operative word." 🔩💪🔩💪 #writerswritesnippets #fitnessaddicts #writersflare #aspiringauthor #trainingsession #writersden #bookishcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAsRPdL4MI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍨🍦BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS🍦🍨 In this piece for Writers Write Snippets, Neve eats ice cream for breakfast. ☺️ Theme - Ice Cream for Breakfast Day The bright sun blinded me as I stumbled into in the kitchen. Sleep had been restless. Coffee and breakfast were the only things that came to my mind. I rubbed my eyes and turned the coffee machine on. I winced, waiting for the coffeepot to finish brewing. The coffee machine hissed as though angry with my impatience. I needed something to eat right now. The sweet, nutty scent of coffee hit me, and my stomach growled in anticipation. Then, I remembered, we had ice cream in the freezer. Cookies and cream. It would be a perfect start to my day. I took the carton and a spoon and took my first bite of the smooth treat. The chocolate cookie bits crunched in my mouth while sweet vanilla cream exploded on my taste buds. Ardit walked into the kitchen and frowned. "That's not breakfast." "Why not?" I shrugged, "It's got milk in it." 🍦🍨🍦🍨 #writerswritesnippets #icecreamforbreakfastday #icecreamlover #breakfastofchampions #bookishpost #foodielove #writingsociety #coffeecoffeecoffee #writingcommunityofinstagram #writerscorner https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2xs70vyHx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌙DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?🌙 Is your main character about to face a terrifying reality or wake up to a blissful dream? In this piece of dialogue from Snow White and the Guardians of the Sword, Neve and Ardit discuss the Evil Queen, a woman so feared she's deemed "the stuff of nightmares." *** Theme - World Marriage Day “Your stepmother is the stuff of nightmares. She came to the kingdom one day and it was as if the king, your father, had no sense. He married her that day. The citizens believe he’s spellbound.” “Spellbound in love or spellbound my wife just cursed me?” I asked. *** Share in the comments: is your character having a good dream or a nightmare? 💭💛 🌙🌙🌙 #worldmarriageday #marriageday #writerswritesnippets #iamwriting #authorsofinsta #dreamsandnightmares #nightmares #writersclub #indieauthors #bookstagramit https://www.instagram.com/p/CopwjmsrTMr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤KEEPING A PROMISE🖤 Let’s talk about promises! Do you have characters that make promises? In this snippet for Writers Write Snippets, Neve is shocked to learn that her teacher, Desiree, has a love life and has made a promise. Theme - Promise Day *** “Uh...” I hesitated for a beat. “Are you going on this date?” “A promise is a promise, Neve.” Desiree replied, "And I keep my promises." I shuddered at the idea that my teacher went on dates. With a sidelong glance at her, I noticed how tight she clasped her hands, her gaze fixed upon the table in front of her. Her eyes flitted towards her wristwatch as though counting seconds, and that made me uncomfortable. I gave her a watery smile. “You can get out of this, right?” “I don’t want to.” The idea crossed my mind for the umpteenth time that night... Miss. Desiree had a life outside of school. “As long as you’re okay with it,” I muttered. *** Tap that heart if you enjoyed the snippet! ❤️ 🖤🖤🖤 #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #bookish #writerswritesnippets #promiseday #booklover #storytelling #writinginspiration #writingmotivation #creativewriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CokkhxTL3w3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗 𝗗𝗔𝗬📚 Happy World Read Aloud Day! Instilling a love of reading is one of the best things you can do for your child, and it's so important for their development. They learn so many skills from reading: how to read critically, how to identify different words and how they sound, how to connect symbols into sentences or paragraphs. Reading is a great way to help kids develop their vocabulary and understanding of the world around them. And they really enjoy it! When you read aloud with your child, they not only learn new words and concepts, but also practice listening skills and improve their attention span. When you read aloud together with your child, you are helping them build a love of reading that will last a lifetime! 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: Ardit stood in front of a group of rowdy children at the local bookstore. Ready to cast a spell with words. Ardit took a deep breath and opened the book, his voice ringing out clear and strong. The subtle hint of authority in his tone made the children quiet down. Reaching an exciting part of the story, Ardit’s eyes lit up, and the children, caught up in the tale's magic, hung on every word with their mouths hanging open. The children gasped, feeling the excitement and tension. "Reading aloud is a magical experience," Ardit said. "And we're glad to have shared it with all of you today." 📚📚📚 #worldreadaloudday #readaloud #readaloudrevival #readaloudday #writerswritesnippets #readingmatters #readingaloud #literacymatters #readingismagic #readingwithkids #buildingaloveofreading #familyreading #storytimewithkids #readaloudcommunity #raisingreaders #readtogether #becauseofreading #authorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writingmotivation #booknerd #writerwednesday #wednesdaysnippet #readingcommunity #readersofinsta #readingchallenge #writersclub #readersgonnaread #youngreaders #readingiscool (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIClo4rIm2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
