#WordWeavers 8/18: What's your favorite line you've written this year?

What a tough question. How about this one:

The pupils weren’t just black, they were midnight fields, starless and infinite that swallowed distance and sound, leaving a weighted, eternal silence.

I'll share it. It still makes me giggle.

#PennedPossibilities 1101: What creature or monster would your MC or SC love to keep as an unconventional pet? Why is that?

The answer to this one is quite simple. It’s been mentioned enough in the story already. It would have to be moths. As a matter of fact, Alastair actually keeps them as pets, cares for them, and has done this for years.

Bats aren’t important to vampires. That’s only folklore. It’s complete nonsense. Moths, however, are *very* symbolic.

#PennedPossibilities 1100: Who is the most challenging opponent your MC has ever faced? What did they learn from them?

Alistair and Fenella have the same answer. It’s Isma. Duncan could be another possible one, only on a much lower tier, of course. And it’s more about what they learned *not* to do, how not to treat others, than it is about anything else. They saw the rottenness of mortals and immortals alike from that man (and Duncan as well). After all, they were all once mortals (AKA humans), and they shed their humanity like a snake sheds its skin. It’s disgusting.

#WordWeavers 8/12: If your main character had a comfort food, what would it be?

The way I just laughed out loud.

Let's try warm, slightly tipsy, maybe blonde or brunette (he isn't picky), and dancing around the room with him.

In my universe, my vampire MC takes what he calls "sweet drinks" or "little sips," and his victims are none the wiser. They aren't injured at all and are only missing a few drops of blood.

#PennedPossibilities 1098: What is a relatively recent invention that dramatically changed the world in your WIP?

It’s almost 1890, but let’s look back at 1885. Karl Benz invented the first practical automobile (powered by an internal combustion engine), Gottlieb Daimler created the first gas-engine motorcycle, and John Kemp Starley demonstrated the Rover safety bicycle for the first time. These inventions all shaped modern personal transport.

The reason why I mentioned this is because I think my series will eventually (and way down the line) move into modern day.

Not in this particular story of mine, no. But I have done that before. I love the process of conjuring up new names for various different tales. It's such a fun part of it all — even though it's just as frustrating at times, too.

#PennedPossibilities 1094: Saturday Word Edition: Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “sorrow.”

(For @thatwriterellie.)

I’m just going to share a small excerpt that relates to this. I love Alistair and Fenella to bits. That is certainly no mystery by now, I’m sure.

⬇️

He coaxed the tiny, winged creature over with his palm facing down.

“I can’t exactly say why,” Fenella began, “but it reminds me of a line you wrote in one of your books.” She watched as the moth landed on his index finger. “He traveled on wings of quiet longing and endured for the sake of the girl. Life was—”

Their eyes met as he finished the sentence for her, “Worth the sorrow.”

In response, she made a soft sound. “It certainly sounded as if you were speaking from experience, Alistair. Was that the main character’s thoughts or yours?” 

He huffed a quiet laugh. “It’s the mystery of writers. I’ll never tell anyone. That would spoil the fun, dear.”

#ScribesAndMakers 8/8: Polymorphous?

Let's discuss shapeshifting and shifters. In my current WIP, we have "full shift werewolves," and I love writing them. There might even be others, but you'll learn as the series goes on. On another note, many people assume (because of fiction) that vampires can "shift" into bats. That's a lie. It's just fiction, and it's ridiculous as well. Alistair laughs whenever that's brought up in conversation.

On another note, many people assume (because of fiction) that vampires can "shift" into bats. That's a lie. It's just fiction, and it's ridiculous as well. Alistair laughs whenever that's brought up in conversation.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/8: In your works, when the subaltern speaks, who listens?

This was an awesome prompt. I decided to use my current WIP for the answer.

Alistair does. The clever ones will. The wise. Those who work for Alistair listen as well, as does Hati.

But let's talk about Alistair for a minute here. He's the sort of man who has amassed friends because he's a kind-hearted man who helps those who so desperately need it. Out of the servants working in his household, a number of them were jobless and/or homeless years prior. He brought them on. It's for one very simple reason: he cares. And yes, he listens.
