  10. #PennedPossibilities 1026 — What is your MC’s biggest priority?

    Not letting any of her friends, who think she's simply a talented by eccentric street photographer, learn that she's really a courier for the mob. One's a high power magazine editor, another is Bolt's longtime riding partner whom she just discovered is a praetorian working for the ruler of the planet (who knows her by name and rep, which is scary by itself, even before you consider Rainy Days rules nine other worlds, also), and a journalist whom she helped get his first front page headline with her photos. The last, who is a man presenting his super-attractive feminine side, is confusing the heck out of her, and she's afraid she might act on her instincts messing things up further, especially since he's just told her he's interested in learning what her day job is (she's been coy about it, obviously)—and his first guess shows he's been paying attention to her movements around town, like a good newspaper reporter.

    Bad enough she has to worry about the constabulary learning she's a criminal.

    She can't imagine any of these folk taking kindly to learning her true profession. The mob boss might not take kindly to her slipping up, either!

  15. #EroticMusings 2026.05.25 — Week 51 (May 17-23) Craft What kind(s) of intimacy do you find hardest to show in your work? How are you trying to improve?

    [Note: This is a discussion about how to include sex in a story. —RS]

    Well, there was a time where a friend reading a draft of a novel said, I love the story but I don't believe these people ever have sex. They fade to black.

    Well, I was still writing my stories as if they were YA, and I was the type of shy person that was quite okay with tell not show in certain areas of life, and could be quite "appropriate" about hinting at chemistry in bed with intimacy outside of bed.

    These last few stories have been a culmination of wanting to write more spicy stories, of trying to show don't tell tastefully yet naturally for the character, to make sex integral to the plot of the story by proving it a raison d'être. It is hard†, no pun intended, for me to do as my censorious mind objects and balks and tries to stop me from writing.

    My solutions have been to never use the common, crass, or anatomical words associated with sex in the English language, to always address the event from the racing heart and senses of the first person narrator, what she sees, feels, smells, tastes, hears, or worries about—her assessments, enjoyment and what captures her attention—not what someone standing in the room or looking at a movie expects to see to fulfill their interest. No demonstration sex—what the narrator reports was for her benefit not yours, though once you get into the flow… However, the phrase "being demonstrative" does have a special meaning in the right context. I'm not above using innuendo, double entendre, unusual phrasing, or misusing meanings of words to get the point across!

    So far, it seems to be working.

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=
    † Okay, sorry, the pun was intentional.

  20. CW: #EroticMusings — Week 52 2026.05.25 (May 24-30) Culture: May 25 is Towel Day! Share something with a towel (or otherwise related to Douglas Adams or the world of the *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*). CW: Read the hashtag!

    #EroticMusings May 25

    Actually, turns out towels add spice to the right kind of story.

    In a society that is more permissive than ours with far more restrictive rules on consent, where what they wear has different standards and function than what we are used to, when they go bathing in public bathhouses—a cultural norm—towels have meaning. Look up onsen and konyoku. My "trope" has shown up in a few stories now (and I'm about to write a sensuous bathhouse scene), but it is etiquette to wear a towel around your hips if you want to say you don't want to be propositioned.

    If you are a man.

    Women wear a towel around their hips to signal they aren't hunting to lower the anxiety level of the men around them.

  25. #WordWeavers 2026.05.25 — What one event defines your MC?

    That time when Bolt let her pride get the best of her and she took revenge on the Hauler Guild in a high school jock juvenile delinquent manner before running from home, fearing she would be caught by the constabulary. Soon after, needing to eat, her unwittingly doing what turned out to be very useful little messengering jobs for the mob simply sealed the deal.

  26. Got this idea from a YouTube video to put out a basket in my living room with physical media items I’ve been working through.

    Helps to cut down on the decision making on what to do and just get to the enjoyment part faster

  33. #PennedPossibilities 1024 — MC POV: Name a time where you cried your eyes out.

    [Bolt:] Me? Cry? You stupid or what?

    Author speaking here. Did you really think that Bolt would admit to this? She's can be very emotional, despite the tough-girl jock image she presents, and the current apathy she's working through as she tells her story in the novel. However, whilst she's talked about being duped by the Hauler Guild into paying heavy initiation fees, passing all their tests, and then being told they wouldn't accept her because she's a woman, subsequently to throw a rock through their window and roll one of their vans down a hill, what she never admits in the book (as a mildly unreliable narrator) is she cried a lot on her own having been made to feel so stupid besides having her dreams crushed. What she can do is haul heavy loads through the sky. As a day angel, she has 99th percentile lading ratio, but without guild membership, she can't work.

    As Bolt's author, I think maybe she took her revenge because being made to cry was the final straw for her stupid jock pride.

  38. #PennedPossibilities 1023 — Who would you personally trust the most out of your cast of characters?

    My narrators. Understand that trusting someone does not necessary mean wanting to hang out with them or to have a relationship.

    The current WIP includes Bolt, la narratrice du roman actuel, a day angel. She's friendly and loving, and craves companionship. She might pout learning I am in a committed relationship! Though she's a criminal and a mobster, I trust her to warn me were she ordered to do something not in my best interest.

    Rainy Days is a secondary very scary powerful antagonist in the WIP, but she's narrated her own stories and I know her heart, which is that she does her best to respect individuals who aren't her enemies or working for them.

    Last, there's the devil-girl, who squeezes Bolt's conscience and teases out her empathy. The daemon with bent rebar horns narrates a series of stories as a very reluctant autistic and often clueless heroine. I trust that she'll watch out for those whom she feels responsible, give a second chance to people who are earnest, and make sure bad things don't happen to those who are innocent—if she can. She does not like hurting people, though if you were to watch her face when she thinks she's been given permission to fight someone—as a creepy glee twists her smile—you might think otherwise.

    I know how my narrators think. Personally, I trust them. Other persons interacting with them—well, it depends on what type of person they happen to be.

  45. #PennedPossibilities 1022 — How would your MC like to be remembered after their death? What sort of legacy would they want to leave?

    Considering her life forced to be a courier for the mob, her goal is not to be remembered, which she fears will be as a criminal. She doesn't think about her street photography, even as those who wish to make it famous are making a name for her. Her integrity, however, will make her very much more than she can imagine now.
