Ascension

"Traffic's wild tonight," the driver offered, making brief eye contact in the rearview mirror. She gave him a thin smile but didn't respond. She caught her reflection in the Plexi partition and wondered if he noticed her eyes. Wondered if this disguise would survive the evening. She reapplied lipstick and steadied her nerve. She could hold it together a little while longer. On arrival, the driver was paid without a word, a cash transaction and an unremarkable tip. She wondered if he'd even remember her in the sea of faces and fares on just another California evening. The security seemed laid back and lax, but there were familiar bulges under loose-fitting jackets that spoke of imminent violence should the need arise. The gentleman receiver scanned her invitation and checked against the guest list. "Weather's mild tonight," he spoke without looking up, "you're all set. Welcome, I hope you have a pleasant evening." She smiled a practiced cocktail smile and drifted past him without

She Heals

It’s in the blood. Sprinkled among the human elements is something other-worldly, something…magic. At birth there’s just a spark of it, nothing noticeable but as one grows so does that spark; manifesting in one's early adulthood. It’s not as scary or disconcerting as one might think…To them, it feels very natural and freeing. From her palm it rose White light shimmers, she begins Healing our bruised world

The Meat of the Matter: Creating Characters

Creating characters is my absolute favourite part of the writing process. I thrive on the sheer number of paths you can take to create just one character with their personalities, traits, quirks, wants and needs, back stories - the list is endless! But dreaming up one isn't just about hair length, eye colours, if they are left handed or right handed. They need to be more than their physical presence, and I know not everyone may think that an infinite number of ideas is as much fun, so let's take a look at a couple things that can be considered when you're creating a character. What is the most important thing about this character that you wa

Squanpie's DD Suggestion Guidelines

Hi, I’m squanpie (https://www.deviantart.com/squanpie)  a Community Volunteer for literature. This means I have the honour of choosing Daily Deviations. But I need your help! The lit gallery is huge and I can’t possibly read everything. So I need you, the community, to send me awesome suggestions. :la: FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation? “An assortment of submissions are chosen each day by a select group of staff and volunteer members who wish to showcase work they have found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large.” It's not an award. It means a work gets displayed site-wide for one

Contact Light

There is a shiver along my circuitry when he comes in to check on me. I hear my gears whirr faster, but only for a moment, before my system re-adjusts their speed. I watch him from the corner of my eye, the task before me boring, monotonous, while he is exciting, lively. Lively. I run the word through my processor, its meaning sparking along my wires, slithering between my circuit board. He stops in front of me, glasses falling against the bridge of his nose. He scribbles something on the clipboard he is holding and I watch as the ligaments and muscles flex in his arm. I rotate my vision down to my own arms, similar in design, but slimmer, m
