  13. #WordWeavers 2026.09.29 — Is your character more likely to enjoy a sunrise or sunset, and why?

    It comes up in the novel. The MC—Bolt, who is a day angel—enjoys both.

    Sunrise is the end of the normal work day (no, I won't explain), and on a normally very hot world, it's the coolest part of the day, with the bonus of a light show. She loves to fly from the first bright blue dawn light until the sun has risen and tries to fry her. It's a languid contemplative time, often silent, rarely with other fliers near, though flight takes more effort than at sunset.

    Sunset is the time of the first bell. There are plenty of thermals with which to gain altitude by circling, wings outstretched. It means reaching cooler air and winds at altitude sooner. So easy! Cooling—they don't call them updrafts for no reason—despite the late afternoon heat. Sunset colors are glorious when they paint the horizon, but if there are gathering heat storms, more magnificent to behold is the chiaroscuro purples, oranges, and scarlet shades fading around the curdling shadows of cumulus and stratus. Later, as dark envelopes, it's a gift to witness prismatic light from the world's edge turning cirrus into strands of sparkling jewels, especially when you fly high and the thin air hypnotizes you. Waking early is an arduous task, for sure, but gliding until the sky becomes pitch black and starry—and your sight of the ground below becomes nothingness, but for someone's remote cabin lantern or a train rushing down invisible tracks—is wondrous. It's the best time to fly tandem with a male friend.

  18. #PennedPossibilities 1142: Does your MC care about vanity and their image?

    van•i•ty 'van-a-de | noun (plural vanities)
    1) Excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements.

    Is Bolt proud of her appearance and her flying ability? Yes. And yes.

    Could she be a model? Not really. She could be mistaken for a boy but for her hips. But if you could admire the looks of an athletic thirty year old woman, she's likely the best you'll encounter. She works at it.

    Bolt loves flying, which is good since she's a day angel. Is she the fastest or best flyer? Likely not, but she accepted a challenge from arguably the best (the main series antagonist), and though Bolt lost, she received a complement.

    So, is she excessively vain or concerned about her image? Excessive being the key word here…

    Nope. And nope.

  33. EDIT : PROBLEM SOLVED !!

    Answer in the comments, and I'll leave this here to avoid orphaning them

    In today's mysterious adventures ...

    I have a minimalist document in HTML. It's a table, renders perfectly in the Firefox and the DDG browsers.

    Some cells have bgcolor set, and that shows up nicely.

    I want to export to PDF and the immediately obvious thing to do is just hit Ctrl-P in the browser and select PDF output.

    But the preview shows it to be in B&W.

    Any obvious reason for that?

  38. #WordWeavers 2026.09.28 — Tell us about your MC’s religious or spiritual beliefs.

    Not only does she have none, she is incapable of developing any. The concepts don't exist in her language. And. Had I not mentioned it in response to this question, you'd probably not have noticed except for some circumlocutions in the narration. Can't use the words derivative of belief or faith or luck, for example. Sort of spoilery, so please endeavor to forget I mentioned it.
