OH MY WORD, girl those quotes are amazing!! 🙂 You have such lovely character names, by the way!
Thank you! Lately I haven’t been too certain about how my writing has been turning out, so I really appreciate that:)
Of course!! Aww, your writing is SO GREAT!!! From everything I’ve read, I can already tell you’re an incredible writer!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 And I think your story/characters sound very interesting! <33333333
Aw, thanks! That means a lot to me:)
@writerlexi1216 This is a really good topic!
Just some random snip-its of dialogue from my WIP (first draft, so don’t expect anything fantastic):
“You haven’t lost me. I’ll see you again, you know. This isn’t the end, only a parting for now.”
. . .
I sit with her for a long time before she uncovers her streaky red eyes. I reach out a hand. In a rare moment of stillness, she takes it. It’s cold within my grasp.
“I want you to remember,” I say, fighting to hold back tears. I look directly into her eyes, sorrowful and afraid. “You’re not alone. Never let yourself forget that, no matter how bad things get.”
And never let me forget either, I silently pray.
. . .
“I miss you,” I whisper in the dark.
“I miss me too.”
Those are so beautiful, Wyn!!
@everyone
Y’all, you guys are awesome!!!!
Ok, I’m a bit late to the party, but here are a few lines that I like:
* * *
Nic traces his finger over the back of my hand. “Sometimes, it’s not about understanding each other,” he whispers. “Because some of us have more inside us than it’s safe to know.”
I twine my fingers with his and meet his eyes. “Sometimes, it’s not about pushing people away. Because some of us want to help.”
* * *
Actually, I only got one at the moment, cause I need to go do something. 😊

I finally came up with some nice quotes… ;-; I don’t know when I’ll use them in the story but they’re nice…
“Don’t you realize how lucky you were? You – you didn’t have to become a criminal. You could have gone and led a normal life! But yet, here you are, the same as me…”
– Angelo to Micah
I don’t know when Angelo became a major character but now he is ;-;
“I guess I went by M so as to not be constantly reminded of the Biblical connotation of my name, for I believed that if my parents could see me now and what I had become, they would be greatly ashamed.”
– Micah on his name
And now for one from Nikolai, I don’t know where all this came from but it came yesterday night:
Nikolai remembered when Mikhail had come with him to Heather Flights, all those years ago. He had been just a kid, what, not even sixteen? And Nikolai had promised his parents that he would protect him…
And now Mikhail was dead, and Nikolai would make sure that Micah would pay in blood.
– Nikolai thinking about Mikhail and Micah
Character profiles really do something, I guess…
Here is one on Shade’s motivations…
“I don’t care if you want to stop, okay, Caleb? I am going to get this money. Even by the time we’re dead and forgotten and worthless and gone, at least, by then, we’ll still have money.”
– Shade to Caleb upon hearing that he wants to stop the medication
And a small sad snippet that I wanted to write, I guess?
As he lay there on the pavement, bleeding out, snow began flying down, like cold kisses which died the instant they brushed his cheeks. To him it felt like he was floating upwards, to wherever the snow came from.
“Uncle Vincent! Can we go to the zoo today?”
“I’m afraid not, Addy. Uncle has work today.”
“Then what about tomorrow?”
Vincent smiled to himself as everything, the snow and the stars and the sparks, began to blur together.
“Yeah, that’s fine. I’ll be free tomorrow.”
And finally, something from Thirteen Ways…
“I’m going to marry a princess one day. And then we’ll be rich, and we’ll have clean sheets to sleep in and cake to eat every day. Wouldn’t that be nice, Carlos?”
– Aine Westerwind to his younger brother
I do believe that’s all for now…
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysDude, these are AWESOME!!! And those character names are 10/10. I’d love to read some of your writing sometime! 🙂 Which WIP do these quotes come from??
@writerlexi1216 All but the last are from The Mafia of Heather Flights, which is currently in plotting shambles! I’d love for you to read it, haha. I’m really excited to write/draft it, so I might tag you when it’s time to beta-read…though I might be posting some short stories in the near future! Thank you so much by the way!

If hours don't turn into daysThat’s neat! (Not about the plotting shambles). Yikes, I feel for you there. Plotting can be… difficult, so I wish you luck. And hey, I’d be honored to read your work! I think your ideas sound super gripping. I’ll be on the lookout for the short stories, then! 🙂 And no problem!
@writerlexi1216 Ah, I’d be honored to have you read my work! I’d be really happy if you do! And I’ll work hard, I swear ;-;
