#PennedPossibilities 967 — What level of education do your characters have?

Although it’s the tail end of the Victorian era, most of my characters are very, *very* old (and are supernatural beings). Their education is self-taught, if they even have one to begin with. One of my characters, the MMC, is well-read, clever, intelligent, and a published author. It’s all self-taught for Alistair, of course, like I said. With that being said, because they’re all so old, they also have the time to learn anything and everything. At this point, they have nothing *but* time on their hands.

#PennedPossibilities 966 — SC POV: When was the last time you got lost?

Samuel: About a month ago, on the way home from the pub with the lads. I had far too much to drink… Hati was laughing at me as I stepped into the flat. She immediately knew what happened, and then she put me to bed. I’m such a knobhead.

#PennedPossibilities 965 — What is your MC’s reaction when someone close to them is sick or injured? How do they behave?

Alistair’s usually a mess, to be fair. He’ll do his best to take care of whoever is injured, to do whatever needs to be done to either save them from a certain rough situation or to keep them safe. There’s a scene that relates to this very prompt and it happens to come rather soon. It’s in an upcoming chapter.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.22 — Create a micro-story in six words.

I'm gonna cheat here. I'm going to write a micro-thingy about my current WIP, #WingsOfQuietLonging, not so much a micro-story. In fact, I've got two.

• Bound by fate, cursed love endures.

• Fangs bared, love lost in twilight.

#PennedPossibilities 964 — MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation?

Fenella: Murdering useless, evil men.

#WordWeavers 3.15 — If your SC came across a large crystal that was glowing from within, what, if anything, would they do with it?

If Hati stumbled across said crystal, she would no doubt bring it to Dorcha Castle to ask Alistair and Fenella about it. Caden as well, surely. She wouldn't know what else to do. Magic plays a part in this story as well, so there's also that to consider.

#WordWeavers 3.13 — Tell us about a quirk your SC has.

Caden twitches, sometimes. He's always bouncing his leg, for example. He's constantly filled with energy. He frequently overlooks details or makes careless mistakes. On another note, he often has difficulty maintaining focus. These days, in modern times (as someone who has AuDHD), we might just be able to diagnose him with ADHD. You never know, though!

#WordWeavers 3.12 — How could someone who knows your MC well console them after the last time you made them suffer?

Hati knows him better than most. He's her closest and best friend. Consoling him has become a task that she's willingly, happily taken on. If anyone could do it, it would be her. And me, oh, I've made him suffer throughout this book (that's turned into series) and I'm horrible for it. Shame on me.
