  1. #PennedPossibilities 1104: Where has your MC lived the longest? What kept them there for so long?

    It’s Dorcha Castle in Moray, Scotland. In fact, he actually *still* resides there. Memories, loyalty, love, and friendship have all been the reasons why he stayed. It’s his home.

  11. #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.

  26. Say not of me that weakly I declined
    The labours of my sires, and fled the sea,
    The towers we founded and the lamps we lit,
    To play at home with paper like a child…

    —Robert Louis Stevenson’s apologia for deserting the family trade of lighthouse-building & taking up the pen, instead

  46. #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.
