"I know it sounds stupid but..." Amarula confessed. "I miss that lady Android who listened to me. Better than any therapist we've ever had. Kinda crazy that I #need her."
"You're not that crazy..." Tharra said. "The fact that we weep for a machine than a human, we fell into madness." #WIPSnips
Screenshot of the following novel excerpt: I have no idea how long I stayed there, letting the enormity of the loss seep under my skin. I believe I blacked out. I remember tracking my prey along the Maritime Silk Route under the assumed identity of Daeva Jonah. I reasoned that, if appearing in my hidden form, with its flaming skin and inhuman proportions, didn’t terrify them to insanity, surely announcing myself right in my name as the wicked spirit of someone known to cause storms would. In my human form it would have meant burdensome costumes, but no one seems to care what a person made of fire wears. I still relish their screams when I caught them over an empty sea on a moonless night. I appeared as a spark in their sails, somersaulted through the rigging, and encircled their ship in a mile-high inferno. ‘How did you find it?’ I demanded ‘An old fisherman told us of a sea witch who had taken him prisoner in his youth and used his boat to sail to a cave with stolen herbs to use in her potions. We thought the cave must contain treasure and conscripted him to lead us there.’ ‘Does the lying wretch still live?’ ‘No.’ ‘Good, then I needn’t trouble myself over him.’ I went through the ship as thoroughly as a plague goes through a rat’s blood. I found pearls carved into chamber pots and tapestries used as bed linen, but I saw no sign of the Tree or the bottle.
I did not have luck. Weeks went by and I had not found work. My visits to the newspapers were unfruitful. After waiting over two hours outside the office of Mr. J. Ezekiel Blathern at the Seattle Daily Times, I was told by a supercilious staff member that the newspaper was not equipped to run photographs, and had no need for my services. Two wasted hours. A printer on Cherry St. told me that he’d heard the Seattle Post-Intelligencer was preparing to make the transition from steel engravings to the half-tone process, enabling them to publish photographs. I hurried to my room at the Cooke to get my portfolio and walked the four miles to the newspaper’s offices. When, after another long wait, a hirsute editor of the Post-Intelligencer met with me, the man insulted me by wiping his hand on his vest after shaking mine. I’m sure it was unintentional. I thought, the man would not recall having done so if asked about it two seconds later. “You have wasted your time, little fellow,” the man told me. “We already have a camera, and it should be no great challenge to train someone to use it.” People, I found, regarded me with curiosity at best, but more often with suspicion, like a housekeeper inspecting something that might be mouse droppings. I was an oddity to some, a threat to others. I once heard the phrase, “Japanese dandy,” behind me as I walked out of a store, followed by a burst of women’s laughter. I was complimented by many people on my mastery of English, the way people praise a dog for walking on its hind legs, but was offered no positions.

White text on a black background. The word need is highlighted five times in green. "I need you," I whisper when I finally stop kissing him. Need feels deeper than love. Stronger. I can feel Red's laughter more than I hear it. "You don't need me," he says. Smiling. Like it's a joke. "Don't say that. I do. I need you." "Okay, okay," he says, no longer smiling. "I'm sorry. I... You know I need you, too. I quite literally wouldn't be here without you." I flush. "I... I just don't want to lose you." Red smiles. "You won't. I'm not going anywhere." I sigh and lie down with my head in his lap. The buttons of his jeans dig into my head. I don't mind. "Promise?" I mumble. "I promise." The exhaustion I've been pushing aside all day is finally threatening to overwhelm me. I let it. Red will be here when I wake up. He has to be.
Today’s #WIPsnips word is #need. This word shows up a LOT in my draft. You can probably see why just by this scene… lol.

She woke up even more famished. It was time to walk. Wet clothes, empty belly, smoky air. The day before, she had felt made of light. Now, her human body reminded her of its unmet physical needs and rough treatment. At least she was hydrated, and free. Back in the forest.
Sometimes the hunger is what keeps us going...

"Well, we obviously #need to find out, right? See if the ground is firm enough to walk on, if the air smells okay, and there’s anything out there worth scavenging! We #need to remove some trash and do more repairs, and maybe one of us could do some scouting."
#need from The Runechildren, Book Six of the Lonely Ship Saga.
