I missed <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/FridayKiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayKiss</span></a>. But <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ThrowbackThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThrowbackThursday</span></a> looks even better. My I suggest using a shorter name, especially since we are just starting. maybe TBThur.

Isobel necessary on a bicycle?<p>In the spirit of <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/FridayKiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayKiss</span></a>, I thought I’d do another find-the-word-in-an-excerpt hashtag. In this one, I’m going to look for words that were invented or popularized by William Shakespeare… for… no reason at all. 😜 Thought I’d call it <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ThrowbackThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThrowbackThursday</span></a>. If you want to join in, please do! If you can’t find the word in your writing, but you’ve got something related in some way, let’s see it!</p>
Isobel necessary on a bicycle?<p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/FridayKiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayKiss</span></a>: TRAVEL</p><p>Today is the last Friday Kiss, and this moment is from GODHUNTER. I chose this excerpt over a sexier one because it encompasses the theme of the book so well. It seemed an appropriate way to end this little tradition, anyway.</p><p>BTW, the GODHUNTER audiobook is up for preorder right now! It’s going live on April 8. The narrator is a real human with a real IMDB page. 🥳 She’s a rare bird who was willing to take on multiple accents despite their difficulty, and I’m so grateful.</p>

It took a while and he had no socks. She felt as if she had lost interest.</p><p>“Your turn, Miss Flynn.”</p><p>She weighed up the options. Shirt or trousers. Her chest was of considerably more interest than his. However drawers were separate items, one for each leg. Not joined in the middle, but they were baggy and the shirt was long; it would hide her nether regions.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FridayKiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayKiss</span></a> "Middle"</p><p>From BROKEN VOWS by Steve Turnbull</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Romancelandia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Romancelandia</span></a></p>
Vera Blackwood<p>I know handwriting varies in time and place, but somehow I didn’t think to actually research handwriting until today, to make this graphic, even though my WIP spends a lot of time describing handwriting! (The MC is learning to read and write as an adult.)

Vera Blackwood<p>This week’s word is CONFESSION. Sadly, I hear through the grapevine that the organizer of <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/FridayKiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayKiss</span></a> plans to stop.
