Muse Food – Doors And Other Portals

By Cynthia Sax on August 26, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this awesome door in Manila, Philippines.

I LOVE doors. Doors are magical. They divide one place from another.

Crossing the threshold is taking a journey and it implies change.

A locked door hints at secrets. A closed door can be a visible rejection. An open door is welcoming. A fancy door implies there’s something fancy on the other side. A plain door means the opposite.

Doors can be powerful symbols in our stories. We can use them to shift our readers’ expectations and alter the mood of a scene.

Drift Would

A cyborg and a spy fly into danger.

***

Drift is one of the best pilots in existence, and he has been assigned a perilous mission.

The G Model cyborg must fly to a distant planet, locate the sector-destroying superweapon the enemy is projected to be developing there, and obliterate that threat to the universe.

When Drift arrives at his destination and meets with an informant, he’s distracted by a mysterious human female seated in the shadows. She’s Drift’s genetic match, and she is the one being he’s destined to care for, claim, and protect.

She’s also a liar and a thief. And she might be working with the enemy.

Trusting her could kill him and everyone he cares about.

Liar. Thief. Seductress. Saboteur. Roshini has been called all of those things. And she has earned each label. She’s done some terrible things to safeguard the beings she loves.

A gray-eyed cyborg warrior with nimble hands and a shared need for speed won’t stop her high-risk activities.

She’ll sacrifice everything, including her lifespan, to complete her self-appointed top-secret assignment.

***


Drift Would is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg who loves to break speed records, a human spy with a talent for changing her appearance, and a foe intent on killing them both.

Muse Food – Boats And Framing

By Cynthia Sax on June 25, 2024

I love this photo the Dear Wonderful Hubby took when we were visiting Panglao Island in the Philippines.

The focus is on the boats.

But the reason it is so beautiful to me is the framing of the much less interesting rocks and tree branches.

In every chapter, there’s usually one scene I’m super excited about writing.

I REALLY want to go straight to that scene and skip all the things that have to happen before that scene.

But I remind myself that those less gripping scenes are WHY the super exciting scene is so exciting. They are the reason that scene makes sense for reading buddies. They’re the reason that scene is impactful. They are the reason that scene is emotional.

They’re the rock framing the boats.
