#PennedPossibilities 1129: If you had to choose a genre of music that best matches your current WIP, what would it be?
That "modern" jazzy noir sound of old timey PI movies.

#PennedPossibilities 1128: Does your MC have a name that’s unique?
My MC has at least five names, and in a world where everybody names themself, this count is likely typical. Family names don't exist since property and status are not heritable.
Everybody starts with the same name, however. It's "Child" (nominal) or "Child of" (familial). Despite being an interstellar society (without electricity or A/C), child mortality rates are high. Each day is a heat index warning day, and some days are deadly for adults, let alone infants. Thus you get called "Child" until you understand the concept of naming yourself, assuming you survive. Considering how children are, they probably have a series of names into their teens.
My MC is 30 now, so she had named herself at least once, but she never shares that name because she got blackmailed into working for the mob and worries that name could be traced.
When she got blackmailed into the mob, she on the spot named herself "Lightning Bolt" because she could believably prove she was a fast flier and not be questioned. She's now an air courier.
She has two other names. One is "Tandem." She taught some guy to fly tandem with her (too complex to explain here) and suggested that name so as not to use her mob name. They became long time friends. She took the name "Good Eye" when she inadvertently became a celebrity photographer, so as not to publicize her mob name where it might be recognized by the wrong people.
Hard to say whether in a world population of 240 million people that her names are unique, but they might be rare. Japan also has a descriptive naming system with half the population; by convention many personal names are reused and some are very common, like Yuki and Shiro (Snow and White respectively). I suspect some combinations in this world are more common than others. Other names in the story are phrases, like Night on Fire and Arrow Flies True and seem more unique.

#WordWeavers 2026.09.13 — Share a line of dialogue that sounds innocent without context but absolutely isn’t.
A third voice said brightly, "Tag, you're it!"
Out of context, it seems pretty innocent, right? Maybe a group of kids having fun? Nope! Signals the segue into a scene where the MC and the main series antagonist spar over a cute guy, an SC LI. The MC and SC are day angels. They have wings. Feathers. They're flying. The antagonist is also flying, but is… something else†.
Zooming out to a #snippet #excerpt. Might be rough as I revised the snippet heavily in the post as it needed it. I'll copy back to the manuscript! 😋
A third voice said brightly, "Tag, you're it!"
My first impulse is to flee—always. I'm a courier for the mob, not an enforcer. My lived truth is be not the messenger who got killed.
Blue was a praetorian; my friend was innocent of what I did for a living. He did not fright. Reflex had caused me to swoop at him. I pulled up my feet not to kick him, at least, as he dunk-dived at the last instant, furling his wings. His eddy sucked me down. In a heartbeat I overcame that. Wings out catching momentum-heavy air, I slowed scanning the twilit sky—purple and salmon clouds, a flood of deep indigo and sparkling first stars beyond.
Where?
My heart stuttered in my chest. Had we both not been intimately aware of each other's warping of up and down, chaotic attraction would have smashed us together bodily or ripped us apart—literally feather plucked by tangled swirling ups and downs a dozen times or more powerful than down felt standing on the ground.
My shock wore off. I understood I was the target, not Blue who returned to my side, breathless. Dropping as he had was the best way to create speed, to leave him safely behind, so I brought my wings close and let my head lead as I fell forward into increasing wind in my eyes.
A woman's voice came from behind me, rapidly getting louder, closing the distance. "Aw, aren't you going to play?"

#WordWeavers 2026.09.12 — If you removed one supporting character from your story, whose absence would change the plot the most?
Keeping in mind what I'm going to state isn't due to strategic plotting ahead of time, all my characters end up being chains of elucidation and emotional connection between other characters, places, and events. I describe the world through characters doing things and interacting. Extracting one will affect the atmosphere of place and the emotion in events. My characters aren't so much gems as keystones. That said, I must answer this in reverse if at all.
Night on Fire is the closest to gratuitous as any character, acting as a friendly sexy antagonist in black to spur the MC in her unasked-for career and to present a vaguely vampire-like leather-winged night angel for minor world-building to explain facts about then modern human genetics. She could be turned into a background character, leaving her roommate Shugh and Night on Fire's emotionally damaged sister Light Insight intact with little rewriting. All others are at this point essential to the denouement and epilogue, and would require major story changes.

#WordWeavers 2026.09.11 — What does your MC believe about themselves at the beginning of the story that turns out to be completely wrong?
In the first chapter, Bolt states it clearly. The concepts of belief and fate don't exist in her world, however she is convinced she's stupid. She'll learn that her prior prideful bad choices don't mean she can't make better choices going forward. She has free will and learns from her mistakes. It takes a dozen years, but still…

#PennedPossibilities 1127: What quirks do some of your characters have?
- Lightning Bolt (MC): Her studio apartment walls and ceiling are plastered with photographs she took. Lots of men. Many are suggestive, and she can view them from the hammock she uses as a bed.
- Blue (SC, LI): Worries a lot about not being able to raise a family thanks to his new job as a praetorian working for Rainy Days, which to him is mind-blowing and fabulous. Still, he wants to raise kids.
- Shugh (SC): Donuts—how he maintains his soft, rounded, feminine look (he's trans-fem). He introduces Bolt to the food.
- Molt (SC, LI): University student. Easy for Bolt to tickle into nerd mode and, since he studies women (more is kinda spoilers), this delights Bolt as she likes how he studies and measures her.
- Devil-girl (SC): Way too many quirks to catalog, but mostly due to being a high functioning autist. She comes off as super-serious about everything, but nearly impossible to goad. Here's one: Love love loves praise, but only if she considers it earned—at which time she'll do a little jig.
- Boss Mead (A): Despite basically being a mafia don, he likes having business meetings at open air cafés. Makes his minions nervous, causing them to control traffic. Clients watch their tongue. Maybe it proves to him how talented he is at not incriminating himself.
- Rainy Days (A): Way too glib and sparkly, projecting an air of being an airhead whilst being touchy-feely, getting you to talk—this despite essentially ruling all of humanity. You don't want to see her serious.

#FantasticPromptsEnglish August 30: To plot or not to plot? What's your path?
I've begun to question my path with the current WiP. My usual course is to have an idea that I follow to a predetermined probable end. So too it was to be with Bolt's story, Reluctant Courier. I knew she'd been blackmailed and that her life was difficult and lonely, as depicted from the outside as an empathetic supporting character in another completed story. However, I wanted to approach her POV of those times as more of a cozy mystery SF tale, as slice-of-life rather than adventure. I know how the parallel stories tie together in half-a-year—a ticking clock if you will—but I chose different earlier endpoints for Bolt so my series main character doesn't overshadow her new friend.
So, to the point. I've been imagining as I write the story various "beats" along the way. Really, it's more like I am writing parts of the story in my head as they occur to me, never quite in order. The mob boss will do X. The devil-girl will do Y. The neighbor will do Z. Mentally, I am left with a saw blade full of missing teeth. Some scenes I've written immediately, some remain vague as things I will write.
When I think of the process of writing what was visualized as a novella but is already around 25K half-written, it feels like I am plotting out the story! I am creating the chapters in my head, writing them non-linearly, but as I decide I like this or that, it fills in her life and leads to elucidating the main mystery in her story.
What do you think? Am I plotting?
Certainly I am NOT writing an outline!

@Archie8 That reminds me that I do have a bicycle to fix. Will have to substitute the sandwiches with noodle casserole, though. There’s a nice Scandinavian word for it: #hygge. The German #Gemütlichkeit comes close, but is not quite the same thing. The English #cozy works. Mastodon sure is a cozy place.
