#WordWeavers 14th May ~ Which of all the characters you’ve ever written are you most proud of?
It’s not so much that I’m proud of them as fond of them.
In truth, they’re my imaginary friends who just happen to be characters in my series of novels.
On occasion they may surprise me by doing something I’d never imagine they’d do by not sticking to the plotted out story, yet I’m too fond of them to go down the kill your darlings route.

Looks like a useful resource.
My urban fantasy series is heavily reliant on the esoteric and arcane, the things no man was meant to know.
I'll be keeping an eye out for your posts.

Harry Blackstone Jr., American magician and author, died on this date in 1997.
Harry Bouton Blackstone Jr. was an American stage magician, author, and television performer, who is estimated to have pulled 80,000 rabbits from his sleeves and hats over the course of his career.
Famously, or perhaps not so famously, he’s one of Harry Dresden’s, full name Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, namesakes.
Which reminds me, I still haven’t gotten round to getting the latest book in the Dresden Files series, Twelve Months.

Using my psychic abilities I looked to the future to see what I’d be doing later today.
I thought I’d probably be writing something to post on this site, but it turned out I was wrong.
It occurred to me it would be for the best if I put off trying to see into the future and did some writing instead.
Dammit! Procrastination or precognition, why do I keep mixing the two of them up.

Edward Lear, English poet and illustrator was born on this day in 1812.
Famous for his nonsense poems such as those featured in his Book of Nonsense.
Today we’d refer to them as limericks, a term he never used.
Here’s one of my favourites, although my own beard’s nowhere near as bushy and unkempt as it once was:
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"#bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #onthisday #HowtoSucceed… #Author #Novel

#PennedPossibilities 1011: Do you have a favourite song? Has it ever inspired anything you’ve written?
Not as such, but it’s kinda fun to drop song titles into the narrative and wonder whether my readers will get the reference:
‘I’ve been watching you,’ he said, by way of a greeting.‘What? You mean as in every move you make, every step you take, I’ve been watching you. Kind of a way,’ I replied, leaving him nonplussed.
