#PennedPossibilities 1013 — MC POV: Have you ever lived in another country / place besides where you were born? Would you want to?

Fenella: I have. I’ve lived in many places. I’ve actually traveled the world. In the end, I still found my way home to Moray, Scotland. To Alistair. To Dorcha Castle. I’d like to stay here now, if I’m given the chance.

Alistair: That’s my own business...

#PennedPossibilities 1012 — How do your characters feel about seeing doctors or anyone in the medical field?

Well, this is an interesting one. Most of the main cast are undead in the sense that they’re immortals AKA vampires and werewolves. The mortals AKA humans, however, will do it whenever it’s necessary. There’s a barber-surgeon (who's also a dentist and a farm animal veterinarian) in town. Let’s also not forget the fact that it’s the tail end of the Victorian era, as far as medical science is concerned. Ooof, we've come such a long way since then...

#PennedPossibilities 1010 — What are any of your characters hiding? (A fantasy, fear, strength, talent, an unpopular or controversial opinion, prejudice, etc.) Why are they hiding it?

Alistair has a huge secret that he’s hiding but I can’t reveal it or speak about it just yet. It’s written, of course, but not yet published for readers. He hasn’t revealed it yet (and won’t ever tell anyone) because it would be world-shattering. As far as Fenella goes, she was also hiding something. It was the truth about her travels around the world, the profession she chose, and what she did to help the women she met. Caden is hiding a secret as well. He’s a Dreamcaster. You’ll just have to read the story to learn what that means.

#PennedPossibilities 1009 — Do any of your characters wear glasses?

Ironically, I broke mine tonight, so I can't respond. I will edit this post and add in my answer tomorrow. 😂

Edit: Jon does but only for reading. Caden also wears a fake pair of spectacles most of the time, so people won't suspect a thing. FYI: He's a vampire, of course.

#PennedPossibilities 1007 — What is your SC’s earliest memory?

It’s of her mother holding her as she cried. She’d fallen and scraped her knee on stone. Hati thinks of her mother often, honestly. She misses her dearly.

#PennedPossibilities 1006 — How would your characters describe their community or communities?

Typically, it’s cold, miserable, unforgiving, and tough. Vampires are a reclusive bunch and aren’t likely to help one another if they’re strangers. Werewolves, on the other hand, are either found in small packs or simply with a mate. Their groups are very, very small. At times, when the planets align (lol), these communities can also be caring and supportive to friends and family members. Also of note, vampires and werewolves do not get along and are not meant to ever become friends (or more). Alistair and Hati broke that rule. He’s a vampire and she’s a werewolf, and yet they’re close friends. Their small circle can’t understand why immortal beings can’t just get along. There are mortals and immortals. You’re either one or the other, so why does it matter what sort of immortal you are? The hatred is unneeded.

#PennedPossibilities 1005 — What type of clothing does your SC typically wear?

Samuel is easy to pin here. Mind you, again, it’s the end of the Victorian era.

I’ll break things down a bit as I go.

• Practicality: Clothing was durable and functional, often consisting of mismatched jackets and vests to save money. (Yet he still manages to look fantastic. Hati always tells him so.)
• Materials: Workers wore wool, corduroy, or heavy cottons in dark, somber colors to hide dirt and wear. (Samuel does just this, of course. He’s a worker with a tough job.)
• Footwear and Headwear: Lace-up boots and simple caps or worn-out bowlers were common, prioritizing protection over style. (Sam prefers caps to what he calls “poncy bowlers,” truth be told.)

#PennedPossibilities 1004 — If they have any, tell us about your MC’s philosophical beliefs.

Ooooh, let’s get down to the nitty gritty with this one. Philosophical beliefs are guiding principles or worldviews that shape how individuals understand reality, morality, and existence. I’ve never really thought about this in reference to this specific WIP of mine, but it felt so easy once I sat down and really delved deeply into my answer for the prompt.

Alistair:
• Socratic Method: Developed by Socrates, this belief emphasizes questioning assumptions and engaging in dialogue to seek truth, fostering critical thinking rather than accepting ideas at face value.
• Introspection: The practice of examining one’s own mind and beliefs to gain self-knowledge and understanding. (All Alistair ever does is think, think, and think some more.)

The thing about Fenella is that I can’t quite pin her or explain her beliefs. The only thing that comes to mind is “Justice for Women” because of everything she’s done in her life, considering how she’s helped women steadily for nearly a decade. She dedicated her life to the cause.

Not to be forgotten, this is also the tail end of the Victorian era. That plays a major role in all this. It matters a great deal. Times were different. The days were much harder back then, even for vampires.

#PennedPossibilities 1003 — MC POV: Were you born to shine in one special way? What makes you really stand out?

Alistair: I do not shine. I glint like the steel of a blade in the moonlight. And no, I’m not special.

Fenella: I suppose I must be special if I can keep his sore, sorry arse out of trouble most of the time. Maybe that’s my purpose in this life or what makes me stand out. I remain, if only for him. I was made for him. I was made to love him, even if it’s from afar at times, to annoy him and be his company and to keep him from being too reckless. Hati would say as much, anyway. She’s such a romantic. Don’t let her fool you — because she’ll say otherwise and roll her eyes.

#PennedPossibilities 1003 — MC POV: Were you born to shine in one special way? What makes you really stand out?

Alistair: I do not shine. I glint like the steel of a blade in the moonlight. And no, I’m not special.

Fenella: I suppose I must be special if I can keep his sore, sorry arse out of trouble most of the time. Maybe that’s my purpose in this life or what makes me stand out. I remain, if only for him. I was made for him. I was made to love him, even if it’s from afar at times, to annoy him and be his company and to keep him from being too reckless. Hati would say as much, anyway. She’s such a romantic. Don’t let her fool you — because she’ll say otherwise and roll her eyes.

#PennedPossibilities 1002 — Tell us a random fact (of any kind) about your WIP.

The narrators in “Wings of Quiet Longing” are unreliable. One of them, to be more specific, is the worst of all. You can decide who it is for yourself. (I love an “unreliable narrator” tale. It keeps you on your toes, makes your brain work harder, and it keeps you guessing along the way.)
