#PennedPossibilities 725 — Do you have a favorite character in your current WIP?
It's either Alexios or Dante, and for different reasons. Alexios holds a special place in my heart. I've been written him for years, in various different RP stories, TTRPG stuff, and in this book series I'm currently working on. I genuinely couldn't love him more. Dante is a very close second. Tall, dark, and handsome (with a side of angst), and he's a doctor to boot. What's not to love? They're both softies on the inside, but scary, broody, and formidable on the outside. It's such a delicious combination. They really are so different, though. That's the only similarity. Even their backstories, relationships, and lives are complete opposites.
With a world this nuts, I make mine smaller and keep the good things close. A short, personal essay for a change and sharing a little gratitude.

Did I just watch the moon rise or disturb a meeting of the demoms in the forest?
Do you have large stretches of time in your work? How have your character's priorities shifted in that time?
The hellhounds were told, "Fetch!" One brought back a dark fantasy filled with allegory, the other, a thoughtful, satirical scifi.
We've tied contracts to their collars and sent them back out!

So close to finishing the revisions on Chapter 5. Simply don’t have the time to get the last of it in. Will have to wait till next time. Still, every step forward is progress.
Chair
The King sat on a throne
of velvet and gold,
and commanded the poor
to do as they’re told.
The poor man’s better throne
is an old rocking chair
on a breezy sunlit porch —
there’s simply no compare.

Past literature knew how to “show” a character’s reacts/feelings of a situation with context clues and understandable actions vs modern literature where most feel they have to tell you everything as if you can’t figure it out. #writingcommunity

Careful manipulation, or is another power at work? Are things going Kru’s way, or is something more sinister unfolding? The only way to find out is to follow along.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.
Still not a good day for admin stuff, but I wrote some words for Lucky and translated more for South.
I'm glad I'm adding words to files. That didn't properly happen for quite a while.
And a lovely person in the UK is reading through my entire backlist. Thank you, unknown reader!
