Also if you’re playing, bookmark this page:
Write A Book With Me Board Go to the board every day, and post your own run on the newest official topic—the one pinned to the top when you get there. That way, I’ll see what you’ve written and be able to respond (after I’m done with my own writing). 😀
Finally, for folks who want to play Write A Book With Me, but aren’t set up yet, here’s how you get set up:
- Create a free membership. (link opens in new tab)
- Sign into the boards. (link opens in new tab)
- Introduce yourself, then find the Thread Of The Day, which will be pinned to the top of the board until I post the new one.
For readers, who may or may not find the word counts interesting, I’ll post snippets here.
The current novel-in-progress is WARPAINT, and today I have a snippet, also posted on the board…but if you just want the snippet, I’ve posted it below, too.

And then it changed.
Pain turned to pleasure, fire to delicious heat, fear and anguish to incredible, calm, centered certainty.
This was how I was supposed to feel. This was perfection. I opened my eyes, and everything lay before me in a flawless detail I had never before imagined possible. Every surface had a crystalline clarity that rendered it beautiful, no matter how mundane its origin or purpose.
The people around me were exquisite, their hair, skin, and features all seemingly crafted out of new materials so much finer and more delicately designed than human flesh had ever seemed to me.
