#WordWeavers 2026.10.04 — What is your MC's most irrational fear? Where did it come from?
Those few characters with irrational fears are dealing with mental illness, and currently aren't the MC. However, though the MC is a day angel with feathered wings meant for flying, she feared flying up until age ten. Falling, actually. An uncle got sick and tired of it, and the therapist bills, and her getting beat up at school, and shoved her off a cliff. It is one of many mysteries to contemplate in the stories as to how Bolt survived, considering day angels are still entirely human with no instinct for flight yet violate physics… Anyway, when she figured out she could fly she immediately feared landing, but that was handled within the day.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.03 — Share a line from your WIP that foreshadows something important without giving it away.
In the prior paragraphs, Rainy Days has just discovered that Bolt's name is not "Tandem" as she thought, but "Good Eye." Yes, that's—count them—three (3) identities and it's complicated. To fully appreciate the tension below, pretend Rainy Days is their world's Queen Elizabeth I.
Rainy Days extended a fist for a bump and I bumped knuckles firmly in a womanly gesture. My knuckles felt like glass. They ought have clinked loudly. They ought have shattered as the commanding woman added, "I expect Good things. I'm keeping an Eye on you."

#WordWeavers 3 Oct: Share a line from your WIP that foreshadows something important without giving it away.
“Ha!” His laugh was not cruel, but definitely incredulous. “Do you maybe have a magic wand?”
“I’m serious,” she said. “I think I can do it.”
He looked at her appraisingly. “You really do,” he said, and laughed again, this time simply happy. He wrapped his arms around her neck, smirked, and said, “If you can do all that, I must just stand for you as Captain.” -

The monk had his hand on the man's chest and mumbled, apparently offering prayers for the departed. He stood, finally, re-straightening the boshiya to keep his face properly covered. "Well," he said, "you won't be able to chalk this one off to a rasper."

“Ah, come on,” said Julie, whacking him on the shoulder encouragingly. “Have a bit of courage, dash it.”
(The last seven words will appear again, later, in someone else's mouth and in very different circumstances.)

I started looking through the WIP for something that would fit here, noticed some stuff that needed rewriting, and now I'm revising again. Nothing to share for the prompt.

From the John Doe Is Not Alone short I'm working on for release this month:I may be strange but, so far, it seems I'm only as strange as the world I've found myself in.

“You have no right—nor power—to dictate what dragons do beyond our borders,” Jez growled. “They are free beings in this world. Learned enough to take their own counsel. If Quenelle withholds their welcome, we will live to regret it.”

The real # 1. What is a promise your MC made that they regret?
She regrets to go away and let someone else make a sacrifice instead of her. There are good reasons for that, but it hurts her.

The real # 2. Which character knows your MC better than your MC knows themselves?
This is a difficult question. Spontaneously I'd say Calanthe, since she knew the MC since she was a child and loves her as if she were her own daughter.
There's also Rosie, once the MC's childhood friend, who knows the MC's weak spots and doesn't hesitate to point out what she doesn't like.
And a figure out of legends, but she has an advantage over the others since there is a magical connection.
They all know her really well, but I don't know if they know her better than herself.
