#WordWeavers 5.23 — Are your MCs picky about where they sleep?

In general, it depends on the story.

Let's take #TheCityOfOpulence, for example. While Alexios prefers his own bed, he can also sleep in the warehouse or in his car.

In #TheFinalRite, Father Kenneth is used to sleeping in various different rectory buildings or hotel rooms. He's always on the road and traveling.

In #TheScarletMirror, Elric prefers their own bedroom, up high in the tower. They're a mystic (AKA a wizard).

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.3 — How much of your worlds are invented versus real? Give examples.

Great question!

#TheCityOfOpulence has a fictional world, all #SFF and #cyberpunk.

#TheScarletMirror has a fantasy world, from a homebrew and original #DnD / #DungeonsAndDragons world of mine, same as above.

The worlds in #TheFinalRite (a horror, paranormal, and exorcist-based story), #ThePastIsAWound (a 1950's news program), and #Unwanted (an office-based love and drama) are all real and accurate.

#WordWeavers 12.24 — Are any of your characters pessimistic? (1/2)

A lot of my MC's are. Lix and Randall in stories for The Hour and in #ThePastIsAWound are so pessimistic. Alexios Jace, the MC in #TheCityOfOpulence, is a pessimistic grump. Elric, my MC in #TheScarletMirror, tries to portray an air of optimism but it doesn't always shine through. Father Kenneth Sweeney in #TheFinalRite is an exorcist, among other things, and he considers himself a realist. He isn't optimistic, either.
