#PennedPossibilities 996 — Share some of your favorite lines from your WIP. (I’m going out later, so this one will be a bit early. I hope no one minds.) Here’s a few bits and bobs that I loved writing. These are in no particular order. I will, however, state who says a particular line if it happens to be a quote or offer some context. • “Every corner of this heart is haunted. You are the ghoul, the specter of my past, and yet I wouldn’t trade a single memory of you for the world. I pray only that you continue to haunt me, Fen.” — Alistair (to Fenella) • Even the shops had taken on an uncommon grimness, with their hard facades of marble and granite, the wealth within gleaming like archaeological relics under museum glass. (Gothic vibes, hell yes.) • Looking at her felt like leaning too close to a dying fire, the heat muted, the flames gone, but the coals glowing red, alive in silence. (This is a line about Hati’s wolf eyes.) • The room was dark, shadows playing on the walls as he lit a lamp on his bedside table. (Again, so simple and yet so utterly gothic, and I love it.) • “Even in silence, my heart still whispers your name.” — Alistair (to Fenella) • His eyes were dark and steely. They looked like storm clouds pressed into color, grey not as absence, but as tension, alive and waiting. (A line about Alistair’s vampiric eyes.) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves
