Ketil's Pep Talk #WeWriWa #8Sunday #SnipSun #Snippet Sunday 6 December 2020
http://www.facebook.com/groups/SnippetSunday
http://wewriwa.blogspot.comThe BlurbThe fate of the Cosmos rests in the hands of an unlikely team of unusual friends. Will an exiled member of an ancient extraterrestrial race, a human ghost, and two ghouls be able to outfox an ancient evil and beat Nyarlathotep at his game before time runs out? This buddy story is the first in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos cliffhangers.
The NotesLast time Little John lamented his lost opportunity.
The Snippet
“Now see here, my fine fellow,” Ketil countered. “I am not the sort to give pep talks. You have only to look upon this grim face to know this to be true. But I see no reason why you could not go into business one way or another. Dylath Leen, for instance, is a debauched city which never rests. There are folk of varying degrees of ill repute milling about day and night, and they are looking for a good meal. If you have an eatery which is open all night, I can guarantee that few of them will care that you are a ghoul.”
“I will consider yer thoughtful words, Guv,” Little John stated, wiping his eyes on his sleeve. “I could give ‘em a fine, simple meal at me tavern. I thank yer kindly, Old China!”

SEELIE KAY: Postcards from The Ledge: This week in The Loft: Author Lil DeVille!

First Look Friday: Midnight Friends: Live and Don't Learn

He has a similar appearance to what I imagined for Valentino. LovableNinja is new on Pixabay and I wanted to give his photos some exposure.
The following is a new chapter from my WIP, The Key of Eidolon.
Midnight Friends Live and Don’t Learn
“Gee, I don’t know how anyone could have predicted this happening,” Guy Frank sneered sarcastically at Valentino Valley, who sat on his bed, gawping at Guy with a look of sheer confusion. “Close your mouth, Val, before you start catching flies.”
“Well, I didn’t expect the bitch to fly into a frenzy!” Val protested. “Hell, you’d think she’d be glad for the exposure. She’ll probably have lots of dudes calling her now. It isn’t like she’s ugly, really, she’s just kind of a nerdy-birdy, not really up to the Val Valley standard, you know.”
“You didn’t expect her to fly into a frenzy after you and Charlie and Heather spread nudes of her all over the school?” Guy sighed. “She was in love with you, Val. Stop fucking pretending you did her a favor by doing this. You and those bitches Charlie and Heather wanted to push her over the edge. The three of you are so lacking inside that the only way you can make your sorry selves feel better is by destroying other people.”
“Yeah, maybe, but I still think she went over the top,” Val said with a shrug. “I’m hungry. You want something to eat?”
“Do you expect that I’m going to go down to the kitchen and eat leftover turkey legs with you, la-di-da, like nothing happened? Or should we get out some pumpernickel and rye and make sandwiches? I haven’t got a fucking appetite, Val, and I don’t know if I ever will again. You’ve always been a bit of a shit, but I let it slide because I convinced myself that at the heart of things you were cool. Well, the stage was set when you convinced poor Claire that you had feelings for her, so she dropped her guard and let you take advantage of her.”
“Hey, Man, I didn’t force her to strip and pose for me!” Valentino protested.
“Bitch, you as good as raped her!” Guy snapped. “We’ll be lucky if we don’t end up in jail. Any lawyer worth their stuff is going to argue that she was legally impaired. She had Cousin Adam tripping balls through her bloodstream, and I’d argue that her taste in men was fatally impaired from the get-go, her being in love with you and all.”
“You don’t have to tell them that you supplied the drugs, and I’ll say that she asked me to take the pictures. I was tripping balls too, so maybe she took advantage of me.”
“You’re pathetic,” Guy groaned. “I don’t know why I was friends with you. Even if I don’t go to jail, I can kiss any scholarship opportunities goodbye. Worse than that, Charlie, Heather, and Jeanette are missing. I don’t give a shit about Charlie and Heather, but Jeanette seemed cool. Claire may spend the rest of her life in a mental institution if she ever regains consciousness. Helvey had a nervous breakdown and he may have lost his best friend. What the fuck did Helvey do to deserve that, Val?”
“Took up too much space in the hallway?” Val queried.
“You’re fucking hopeless. I’m going to try to do the right thing, even if it’s too little too late. I wish I’d never met you, Val. I hope that karma bites your ass hard. See you in court.”
Valentino Valley watched his only real friend walked out of his life forever and wondered if maybe he had gone too far with his scheme to humiliate a girl whose biggest mistake was falling in love with a good-looking popular boy while not being pretty and popular herself.

IWSG December 2020
https://www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com/Heyyyy, yesterday was the first Wednesday of the month, right?
Whoops. Oh, well, you get my scintillating IWSG post today!
The question for the month is:
Are there months or times of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why?
And the answer is...
Not really. But kind of.
You don't think I'd just leave it at that, do you?
I've been writing about how writing challenges tend to select one of three months out of the year: April, October, and November.
There are nine other months! Why does it always have to be those three?
So, on my own, there would be no particular time when I would write more than others. But given challenges like NaPoWriMo, NaNoWriMo, OctPoWriMo, the November PAD Challenge, the April Poem a Day Challenge, the October Spooky Writing Challenge, and the A to Z Blogging Challenge, I end up being forced to write more than I normally would during those times.
Granted, I volunteer for the abuse.
So, to sum things up, the answer to this month's question is, yes but no.
Or maybe no but yes.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Y'all have a productive day, now. Or an unproductive day. Whatever.
~Cie~

WIP Wednesday: Midnight Friends: Photo Allergic
Free Use Image by Free-Photos on Pixabayhttps://pixabay.com/photos/female-hat-girl-shy-woman-1031584/Midnight Friends Photo Allergic
Claire Hart didn’t so much wish she were a babe as she wished she could be somebody’s baby, but she was sure that would never happen. The high school freshman was a plain, shy girl of medium height with a medium build who dressed in loose-fitting clothes and wore minimal makeup. She was glad that the raging acne and greasy hair of her early teenage years were now under control, but what she saw in the mirror still left Claire photo-allergic.
Claire had nobody that she considered a real friend. Ruth Andrews was nice enough, but she wasn’t someone that Claire could talk to about her thoughts on the supernatural world. Ruth was a good Catholic girl and thought that such matters were best left unspoken. Helvey Gray was a funny guy who brightened Claire’s spirits with his goofy jokes, but Claire certainly couldn’t imagine discussing the unseen world with him.
Charmaine Chaplin was so pretty that it made a hopelessly homely young woman like Claire physically ill to look at her, but she was a sweetheart even if Claire sometimes thought that Charmaine had let her brain atrophy because she never had to use it. Charmaine’s cousin Dorothy Lombardo was a big girl with sad eyes like a basset hound who may have envied Charmaine’s beauty as much as Claire did, but who had a dogged devotion to her effortlessly beautiful cousin whose naiveite sometimes left her in compromising situations from which she required rescue.
Claire supposed that it would have been all right to have pleasant companions who had no desire to look too hard at the world beyond the walls of sleep if it hadn’t been for the unpleasant individuals with whom she was forced to share her life. There seemed to be far more bad actors than well-behaved students at good old St. Charles Catholic Preparatory Academy.
Valentino Valley was a stuck-up jerk in theatre group. Claire developed a crush on him because he was initially nice to her, but when he discovered that he was carrying a torch for him, he turned nasty. Claire surmised that Val was probably being nice to Charmaine in hopes of getting in her form-fitting jeans and Claire was simply a secondary recipient of his fake friendliness.
Val’s butt buddy Guy Frank was a non-entity when he wasn’t around Val. Guy’s given name was a perfect fit, as he was That Guy who blended easily into a crowd. If he’d had the inclination, Guy would have been the perfect criminal mastermind because he had such a nondescript appearance that it would have been difficult to describe him. Helvey once said that Guy looked like a forty-year-old car salesman.
Helvey also said that Guy looked like a frog and Val looked like a pompous prince. Claire and Helvey giggled while drawing a cartoon featuring Pompous Prince Pompadour of Buttland and his sidekick, Frankie the Frog.
