Grammar Tips
Remember that “it’s” is a conjunction for “it is”. Before typing yet another incorrect it’s into your story, look at the sentence it is in not as it’s but “it is”.

“Every dog has it is day.”

That sounds incorrect and completely illiterate like you all can tend to be so the correct word here is its, a possessive.

July’s writing prompt: Write a story about a dreamcatcher. Purely from your mind imagine what the best one would look like. It might describe you; it might describe what else you want it to represent.

Imagu and the Slipping of the Sun
Note: Animals in this story can grow much bigger than they can in the real world. The hero is around 4’3.

Our protagonist is a cockerel in the Guard of the Armadillo.

They along with the rest of the Guard have been sent to travel to the palace of the king...

Something is wrong.

The rooster stops by the intimidating flight of stairs which lead to the pagoda.

They turn, relaxing the grip on their weapon very slightly, lowering their turtle shell shield.

Rain Rattling, the armadillo, passes by the protagonist, leading the Guard up the stairs without a word. Idly, our cockerel loosens the whip of seagrass and jellyfish tentacle, trailing it behind them up the stairs, the conches and murexes tied to it clinking quietly on the steps. The wolf behind, Stands Straight (or, One Who Walks On Their Hinds) was forced to dodge the tip of the whip, and was very irritable by the time they finally reached the top of the stairs.

“Get it together, Quiet One,” Stands Straight hissed as he stood aside, pointedly hitting the rooster on the back of the head with the flat side of his dagger.

The silent warrior said nothing, and lowered his turtle shell shield, raising it to the king once the Guard’s armadillo escort had scrambled on.

“Rain Rattling,” the buffalo ruler murmured in his distant, unsteady voice. He smelled of herbs and snow.

“Bark’s Light,” the little armadillo responded, dipping his head. “We came as soon as we heard. What is the situation in question?”

The buffalo muttered something under his breath, then looked up. “They are coming- the Kin of Agilope. They will attack the palace. We have sent Assassins into their ranks, but it is not enough. We need some of your Guard’s warriors to travel into their territory.”
