#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.

#PennedPossibilities 962 — If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre?

Give me a spooky OST, something ornate, complex, and rich with emotional depth. It would be soft and mournful during the sadder moments, then uplifting, inspiring, moving, and emotional at times, and serious, scary, and terrifyingly brash and loud at others. It needs to be rich and dynamic, allowing for expressive contrasts and emotional depth. All classical, of course. In my mind, it would be reminiscent of Hammer Horror as well, which was what started this entire novel (which turned into a series) for me.
