Shadow Spark Publishing

We like to discuss tropes or other commonly-seen scenarios in media on these days. We understand not everyone likes tropes or thinks about their stories in those terms. We are not here to dictate what is or not a trope, and we never say writers MUST use tropes.

Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic: The Rivalry Exists Because of a Misunderstood Kindness Years of conflict stem from one moment meant as compassion. Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

Today's affirmation: Kindness, especially toward yourself, is never wasted effort. Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water. #monday #motivation #relax #breathe #water #shadowsparkpublishing

It's #sunday shout out time!! Tag someone or introduce us to someone you admire in the writing, reading, or art community!

We made it to Saturday, friends! Did you do any writing this last week? If you did, share a short line from your recent writing sessions. Are you happy with it? Do you already have plans to improve it? #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #indieauthors #selfpubauthors #authors

We like to discuss tropes in media on these days. We understand not everyone likes tropes or thinks about their stories in those terms. We are not here to dictate what is or not a trope, and we never say writers MUST use tropes. We're just here to talk about stories.

Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic: Pain Is Transferable. Injuries, grief, even emotional wounds can be passed between people. Healing is negotiation. Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

Today's affirmation: You’re allowed to take breaks, not abandon the story. There’s a difference. Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water. #monday #motivation #relax #breathe #water #shadowsparkpublishing
