Slap Some Sense – Writing Wednesday Prompt
I recently wrote a scene where a human woman slapped a fae lord (he deserved it and she knew she couldn’t actually hurt him, just startle him), so I decided to turn it into a prompt.
Slapping some sense into an immortal, supernatural creature when you’re half their size probably isn’t a great idea. But sometimes they need it.

A sweet, adorable romance. It was like The Great British Baking Show meets a clean version of Bridgerton. I think this might be the first Ugly Duckling Retelling I've read, and I read a lot of fairy tale retellings. The fairy tale elements were charm ...more |

“Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head.”

“How absurd it was that in all seven kingdoms, the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - went unarmed and were taught nothing of fighting, while the strong were trained to the highest reaches of their skill.”
