Progress on Expired Reflection? 2,005 words. Iโm at the brink of the Climax, so that gives you an idea of how close I am. Thatโs exciting.
It was the beginning of holiday activities here, so there wasnโt much time for writing. Thatโs okay. Family first.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to one & all today.
Be everwell.

#PennedPossibilities 882 โ How could someone locate your SC(s) in a crowd?
๐Ok. Fun. Fun to write in a sipping a hot Irish coffee made with melted chocolate and cognac sitting in front of a fireplace -type fun. ๐คถ๐งโ๐๐ฒ๐
Blue
He's the hunky guy walking around wearing 50 pounds of gold-plated praetorian armor like it were a tank top. He's got the wholesome sexy look of the guy who'd play Superman in a movie. Oh, don't get me started about his gorgeous blue-feathered wings. Every woman notices Mr. Oblivious. He likes Bolt, though.
Pigeon the Pilferer
Bad body odor. The punk gangster lives on a diet heavy with fried food, onions, garlic, and stinky fish like kippers and sardines. Might have something to do with why you know he's in that crowd without seeing him?
Molt
Well, the day angel guy is in molt, but besides the an askew occasional down feather, he's lanky and tall and rather nerdy. It's hard to relate in words but he has a sexy smile when he sees Bolt; otherwise he looks like a college student.
The devil-girl
If you see a young woman who looks somewhere between 15 and 30 (depending on whether she's in pigtails or has her hair up in a frumpy bun) with a textbook levitating reading-distance from her face, walking down the street, the crowd parting for her, it's probably her. Oh, the daemon also has a tiny horn sticking out from each temple that resembles a sharpened length of rusty rebar.
Night on Fire
Easy: She's a night angel. Rare. Think of a classic good-looking vampire but instead of a cape she has velvety bat wings that can wrap around her. She's as dark as nightfall (deep blue) but with reddish dark fuzz on the underside of her wings. She. Turns. Heads. Despite being under five feet tall. And she wears dark wraparound glasses that hide her amber cat eyes. She be SEXY, mucho. You will do what she says because you want to impress her.
Steamed Milk and Sugar
He's a pretty average guy, slightly chubby and rounded, a bit pale, very much looking like office help who doesn't want to be thought of as competition or date-material. He's the most likely to be missed of the group of SCs, but he's also the most intense of the group, always working to succeed as a reporter, so he's very observant; he'd be called shifty-eyed if he were the least bit sneaky. He'll note Bolt from his place in the crowd, no fears. He'll wave and shout and smile. He's very supportive of her; she helped him make his first big break. No way Bolt will miss him! She wants to jump his bones even though she wants to keep him in the friend zone (Night on Fire is his roommate). He's definitely not her physical type (she's a jock into physical fitness and prefers her men with wings; he's a saint and has none), but he's giving her tons of reasons to stop being superficial! I hope the hot situation makes the readers want to tear their hair out.
@floofpaldi: Happy Holidays to you and your Nana!

In the spirit of the days of yore when Christmas meant trying to scare the kids with horror stories told around the fireplace, here's a short little tale that features Santa.
#WordWeavers 2025.12.24 โ What is the gift your antagonist brings to the world?
Three antagonists, three brief answers.
Pigeon the Pilfer:
Nothing really, he's a punk gangster. Fast food sellers maybe consider him a gift because he eats their food at every meal. He's partial to fried breaded fish sandwiches with a side of fried onions. Sometimes, and only at breakfast, he has kippers and onions. He always adds extra garlic.
Boss Mead:
His gift really waits for a sequel as the current WIP is an inciting incident for him. He does keep the Home City underworld mostly under control, lowering the violence level and upping the organizational level, and he takes some pride in that. He likes profit since he is a mob boss, and likes it when people voluntarily pay rather than having to be roughed up. He'd rather be accepted into high society, but that's not happening as he's also nouveau riche.
Director Rain Days:
Literally the gift she brings to the world is the world. When she was a teenager, she realized she could do one thing spectacularly well. The fact that there were wars because of her, and civilizations perished, is incidental to the fact that without her, the world would have become uninhabitable within decades. Neither she nor the author know how long ago that was, but it was more than a millennium ago.
