#WordWeavers 2026.03.25 —What do you feel thinking about the last scene you wrote?

Pretty good. I've extended the mystery of the devil-girl and turned Bolt, the day angel MC, into a hot mess of conflicting emotions, exposing her vulnerabilities to having someone she likes want to make her happy because they want to. (There's some NSFW stuff immediately before and innuendo here.) The subsequent scene I set up is going to leave Bolt confused and not trusting her own desires. Not too shabby!

SC POV
What’s your favorite smell?

"Gunshots in the morning. Next."

#WordWeavers 26. SC POV: What’s your favorite smell?

Ash: Sulfur and scorched rock. Or if you wanna be all old-timey with it, "fire and brimstone". It's not really about the smell itself, it's about what comes next.

(Ash summons demons for "fun")

#wordweavers SC POV: What’s your favorite smell?

Any of my characters would say the same thing - petrichor.

#WordWeavers 2026-03-25 What do you feel thinking about the last scene you wrote?

I've been struggling with this scene for months. It's probably the fourth time I've written it, and it's kind of a pivotal moment in the story where a lot is revealed and a plan is made. I made a lot of progress today but it's going to need more tidying up before I can continue.

#WordWeavers 2026-03-25 What do you feel thinking about the last scene you wrote?

It's okay... I've rewrote or heavy tweaked the same 3-500 words at least three times now. It is still feeling like a half deciphered anagram. I /probably/ should plow ahead for another 5-700 words and come back to it with a bit fresher breath, and have some give it a "10 not 20" word check to see if I've made a brick instead of a blancmange.

#WordWeavers 25. What do you feel thinking about the last scene you wrote?

the last scene i wrote was a (brief, non-graphic) sex scene. i like it, but it's raising further questions.

i've gotten to the point in the leads' relationship that i can start putting more sex into the story. but while i'm not squeamish about writing detailed sex scenes, the main problem with them is that they slow the pacing to a crawl. i'm having to be judicious about which moments to include: a few meaningful gestures, but then we have to get on with things.

'Thus the bed was warmed, and the morning enjoyably squandered.' that's how i summed it up this time, lol.

#WordWeavers Day 25: What do you feel thinking about the last scene you wrote?

I need to rewrite it because it didn't feel right in the story.

WordWeavers for 26th March, 2026

26. SC POV: What’s your favorite smell?

Caly: The mountains. I don’t know what it is that makes them smell the way they do. Maybe it’s the trees, or the lichen, or the snow, or something else. I just know I love to breath it in, whenever I’m among the high peaks.
