  6. #WordWeavers 2026.07.20 — If your antagonist could improve one thing about themself, what would it be?

    [Yes, I plan redemption arcs for my antagonists. Not saying they're easy to earn, or if they'll grow to deserve them.—R]

    Improve himself? Learn how to make real friends, or figure out some way to do so. His current life as the goose that laid the golden egg is certainly comfortable, but lonely. His interlude with his courier (the woman MC of the story) made his loneliness worse because though she clearly hated him, she set that aside and demonstratively enjoyed having fun with him while remaining unerringly direct and open in their conversation, and now, that she's left, the house seems hollow. He knew what she felt. He's even thought of giving her all of the evidence he blackmailed her with, to see how she'd react, if maybe he could get her to join with him—but the syndicate that's made him its beating heart might react badly if she could freely leave if she chose to. His action might make her less safe, no, undoubtedly it would. He knows it's a bad idea. How can he make friends when he's as trapped by his own machinations as those he's trapped?

  8. #EroticMusings 2026.07.19 — Week 60 (July 19-25) [based on Penned Possibilities 63] PoV (any character) What's is the dirtiest thing you've ever said, or heard?

    I can't answer this one in PoV. There simply is no way to translate the figurative or metaphorical concept of "dirty" with regard to sex, in the context of their society. They simply don't think that way. So long as the situation is appropriate and the acts are consensual, even coworkers, and certainly friends, would think nothing of sharing art, relating tales, or maybe suggesting partners—or simply suggesting—and if people acted upon it, well, what​evs, "Tell me how it went." The erotic does exist; there merely is no associated onus or shame. Trust me, these are human beings: there's plenty psychological craziness to go around to make things interesting.

  9. #PennedPossibilities 1076 — What challenge does your MC dread even if they wouldn’t run from it? Why does it stand out?

    Bolt has grown to accept her life as no longer her own, She's the messenger; people she delivers to want to kill her for that reason. She grows fond of a coworker, an increasingly very obviously dangerous daemon enforcer, blackmailed into taking the job, actually a young woman, a thaumaturgy student. Bolt is tasked with passing orders. The enforcer wants to be left alone to study and, as their boss tries to entrap the enforcer into worse criminal acts, she increasingly takes out her ire on Bolt until Bolt dreads delivering her blue envelopes. Bolt feels they're fish caught in the same net trying not to be lifted from the water, so she continues to like her coworker and tries to be friends.

    It's not easy.

  11. CW: NSFW 18+

    Model: Kinberly

    Lost in the luxurious fluff, her gentle gaze is the most seductive invitation. Draped in delicate lace, she embodies a soft, irresistible temptation. Lean into the cozy warmth and let her playful smile draw you closer. ❤️

  12. #WordWeavers 2026.07.19 — MC POV: What scares you the most about the future of your world?

    [Bolt, day angel woman:] I dunno. Just living, working for the mob, is kinda scary enough already, but there was the news…about the government saying the population had declined 30 million to 240 million since the moonshot 200 years ago. Still, 240 million! That's an unfathomable number. Can't get me to worry about that.

  19. #WordWeavers 2026.07.18 — What is your MC’s favorite family tradition?

    Bolt ran away before becoming 18. She didn't value her family until she didn't have them anymore. I could be crass and say both mother and daughter (Bolt) enjoy their men, but without the context of their society, you don't know how boringly prosaic that statement actually is. There's not much else that really qualifies that most other day angels don't also do.

  33. #WordWeavers 2026.07.17 — What does your SC find beautiful that most people don’t?

    This feels like a cheat because the devil-girl is doing a guest stint as a supporting character in the current science fiction WIP. Her answer IS mathematics. The more complex the better. She likes math. Numbers talk to her, equations balancing makes her ecstatic. The beauty that could make even her cry, that most other daemons dismiss, lets her see how the universe is constructed and, well… work miracles.And that, already, is manifestly spoilers.

    With over a dozen books published, undoubtedly you find it simple to turn off the self-censor when writing (and during revision!), but I suspect this wasn't an easy skill to master. Any tips for mastering the monster? My recent work is spicy by necessity of the POV (1st person) and her world; though it's not erotica, the character does relish one aspect of her life. I admit to choking whilst writing more often than I like, then restarting and wondering why I stopped. You could help me greatly by sharing your experience.

    With over a dozen books published, undoubtedly you find it simple to turn off the self-censor when writing (and during revision!), but I suspect this wasn't an easy skill to master. Any tips for mastering the monster? My recent work is spicy by necessity of the POV (1st person) and her world; though it's not erotica, the character does relish one aspect of her life. I admit to choking whilst writing more often than I like, then restarting and wondering why I stopped. You could help me greatly by sharing your experience.

  45. #PennedPossibilities 1073 — MC POV: Tell us about a time when your heart raced, either for good or bad reasons.

    Well, since I've become less prejudiced, not only do I have more men to choose from since I'm not as picky as to whether they are day angels or not (that is no longer requiring them to have wings), there's the devil-girl. She's both a daemon and not a guy. Her pointy rebar-like tiny horns are exotic, fascinating, challenging—dangerous in a cute way. I really wasn't trying to hook up with her, only to distract her for awhile, but I was being friendly and she interpreted that, well, unexpectedly, unexpectedly nicely, you know, and, well…, you know… racing heart, right? So, why not?
