Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop for everyone who loves to write! Today's excerpt is from the dark fantasy Imprisoned in Stone. This scene takes place the day of the mage's arrival and gives insight into Maerva's world and foreshadows what is to come. And now the Sunday Snippet.

That a woman’s only power was the ability to bring life into the world. The contradiction always confused Maerva. If a girl could sail as well as a man, why couldn’t she do other things as well? So engrossed in her reflection, she forgot her surroundings until she heard her namee.
