#PennedPossibilities 1149½: Bonus Question (Courtesy of @AnnaSaultron) Your MC comes across some spooky scary skeletons… What’s next?

Bolt often visits the Urban Desert, suburban ruins of overgrown landscaping, broken cement, and rusted steel, east of Home City abandoned over a century ago when the population fell quickly. Coming across horses is rare, and spotting their migrations at altitude more so, but this herd with a bone-white coat and yellow-ivory spinal plates (think a stegosaur; it's heat radiator anatomy) are unexpectedly flighty, notable. They rear, thrash tails, and whinny with wide eyes when she flies a body length overhead, just out of hoof range. She decides it must be a predator spooking the skeleton palominos and isn't up for that type of adventure. She resolves to tell a park ranger if she spots one on the way to meet her man friend Blue—for something more fun to ride.

#PennedPossibilities 1149½: Bonus Question (Courtesy of @AnnaSaultron): Your MC comes across some spooky scary skeletons… What’s next?

Zerika would probably love it, or she'd opt to draw her sword and ready herself for a fight. One or the other. It's too hard to tell really. It also seriously depends on what these spooky scary skeletons are doing, of course. How spooky and scary are they?

#WordWeavers 10/6: What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?

I have something simple to answer this prompt with. It's the magick in my universe, just in general. It would seem to terrifying, so bizarre and surreal to us.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #TheScarletMirror #FatedByFire #CozyFantasy #Fantasy #SwordAndSorcery #Romance

#ScribesAndMakers 10/6: On a scale of 0-100, how much conflict (however you personally define it) is necessary for a compelling story?

A compelling story doesn't necessarily *require* conflict. Everyone has a different story in their mind's eye. Some have conflict, some don't. I can't put a put down for that. Then it also depends on the genre as well. They're all so different.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon

#PhantastikPrompts 10/7: Do you have some kind of "Captain Happen" character that keeps things moving?

I don't. I strive to steer clear of writing one-dimensional, single-purpose MCs, SCs, or antagonists. I give them main stories, side stories, fulfillment, their own choices, consequences of said choices, and more. I want characters who don't just exist for one purpose and one purpose only. They have lives, dreams, desires, things they hate or dislike, families or reasons why they might not have them, and as always, their own emotions. In my mind, they're people, not stick figures who exist on a page for only one reason. But those are just my own thoughts on it.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon

#PhantastikPrompts 10/6: Your protagonist needs money and gets a musical job. Imagine and tell.

Oh, god. Just *imagining* this has me dying of laughter over here. Zerika can neither play an instrument nor sing. Elric might be able to help her out, though. Either that, or people would just feel *so badly* for her that they would drop coins into her hat or can, anyway. Probably the latter...

#WritersCoffeeClub 10/7: Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction?

For me, it's usually addition. Then again, it just depends on what I happen to be proofreading and editing. But yes, I lean more towards addition as opposed to reduction.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon

#WritersCoffeeClub 10/6: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?

Hints. Subtext. Maybe even the themes as well, honestly. I don't always spell things out for readers. In fact, I tend not to.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon

#EroticMusings 71: Have you ever created characters with desire that persisted beyond death?

Absolutely. Let's talk about my Paranormal Romance Series for a moment. We have #WingsOfQuietLonging here, and the MCs are undead. They're a pair of vampires who *truly* love each other.

But yes, I've also written this in other ways as well. I'm a spooky writer. I love horror, romance, etc. Love persists. Death is of no consequence.

#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon

#EroticMusings 70: Culture: What does arousal mean to you? Share an example from your work of arousal stemming from something other than someone else's physical appearance.

This is a good question. It's a feeling, a state of mind, emotions that wash over you, etc. Inner thoughts are important as well.

Here's an example:

Across the room, Malcolm met her eyes. It was a long look, one that spoke volumes and made the hair on the back of her neck rise. There was a spark of desire there, and she had to take a deep breath. Clearly, Malcolm couldn’t actually hear their conversation, not with how deeply he was enjoying talking to his nieces and catching up, but she found the timing odd. She wanted nothing more than to drag him upstairs right now.

Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction?

I reckon it balances out.

I tend to find myself trying to shorten dialogue to make it more succinct, but at the same find I’m garnishing descriptive passages to add to the atmosphere.

I guess I also attempt to shorten sentences in general ‘co sometimes I do go on a bit.

#EroticMusings 2026.10.06 —Week 71 (October 4-10) Characters: Have you ever created characters with desire that persisted beyond death?

Yes. Not big-D Desire as the hashtag might prefer, but little-d immortal desire fitting with the eerie nature of this month's first prompt. The MC is a woman shaman in an SF lost-generation-ship setting. The man was the MC's best friend's bodyguard and man-servant, with a deeper relationship implied. After saving his employer's life, he comes back as the shaman's second guardian whom only the shaman can see—a black leopard being her first. He wants to help the shaman protect her best friend and convincingly talks to his former employer through the shaman as an intermediary, though there are infuriating limitations and things he won't do or say. To the shaman, her guardians exist as if in the room with her—she can see, hear, and physically feel them, but they're ethereal and disappear when they couldn't co-exist or become intransigent.

The reader may grow to question if shaman's guardians are real or whether the woman is delusional but manages her mental illness extremely well. The story touches upon on the psychology of charisma and success as well as the difference between greatness and insanity.

#ScribesAndMakers 2026.10.06 — <On a scale of 0-100, how much conflict (however you personally define it) is necessary for a compelling story?

A question like this requires a qualitative answer but, forced to answer quantitatively, I would guess approximately 31.4157% +/- 10√2​, which works out to some, enough, not too much, or the opposite of what the experts say.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.06 — What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?

Practically everything? I don't want to give away the discovery aspect, so I'll pick something not mundane that's also SFW:

Men typically raise their sisters' children.

Which means their nieces and nephews. It isn't uncommon that boys will raise younger sisters, or cousins of first and second degree. The tradition causes considerable angst in the WIP.

To be clear, this is a normal gender role. Men grow up expecting this.

Blue—One of Bolt's LIs and the man with whom she's most comfortable—is already supervising his teenage sister who is a scatterbrain nerd with little common sense. He's doing this while being trained as a praetorian (a rare and special job), while occasionally working as what looks to our eyes to be a type of (male) geisha. Bizarrely, to our eyes perhaps, he's increasingly certain that were his sister to become pregnant he'd willingly give up his hard-won jobs to raise her children. In his society's terms and in Bolt's eyes, he is a very masculine guy.

What is it with Americans and they way they think they can commandeer iconic characters from English literature and assign them a National Day under the American dating system?

According to the Yanks today is National Mad Hatter Day, which is completely incorrect, it should be the 10th of June to reflect the English price tag on his hat showing 10/6 or ten shillings and sixpence.

Oof.
Hope's decision not to take her studies seriously leads to her not being taken seriously, even when she is capable of great deeds..
Justice's decision has a hand in her arrogance and vastly underestimating the danger at hand.

Like a lot of people of her time, Justice doesn't eat breakfast because it's sinful.
Hope, on the other hand, has to eat breakfast as a performance art, witnessed by hundreds, even if she's not in the mood to eat.

On a scale of 0-100, how much conflict is necessary for a compelling story?

Somewhere between 1 and 70.
A mad lad's adventure war story needs a lot more conflict than a children's book about a binge-eating caterpillar.

#WordWeavers 6/10: What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?

The way most, but not all, members of the magical community accept magic and the supernatural to be part and parcel of everyday life.

There are the odd few who find it difficult to accept magic as being real even though they are capable of doing magic themselves to a greater or lesser extent.

My Word of the Day today is SCIAMACHY. Share YOUR words to describe this picture in the comments!

Sciamachy, From Late Latin sciamachia, derived from Hellenistic Ancient Greek, σκιαμαχία, skiamakhía, from σκιά, skiá, shadow, + μάχη, mákhē, battle.

Meaning shadow-boxing; fighting that is futile or make-believe.

The photo shows the inside of an ancient-looking, dark stone chamber with bright sunlight streaming across an uneven cobblestone floor strewn with fallen leaves.
The beam illuminates a rustic drystone pillar and the angled jamb of a low doorway, casting dramatic shadows against the textured masonry walls.

I’m not sure how relevant the word Sciamachy is to the content of the picture but it’s nice to come across a word I’m not familiar with.

What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?

Seemingly irrelevant details are peppered throughout the narrative including scraps of dialogue famous from other works, lines from songs as well as references to both song and book titles and mentions of less well-known stories from folklore and mythology.

Not to mention all manner of supernatural creatures and arcane magical rites.

#onthisday

Wilson Tucker, American author and critic died on this day in 2006.
Arthur Wilson "Bob" Tucker became well known as a writer of mystery, action adventure, and science fiction under the name Wilson Tucker.

He was a prominent member of science fiction fandom, who wrote extensively for fanzines under the name Bob Tucker. He became a prominent analyst and critic of the field, as well as coining he term "space opera."

Although he sold more than 20 novels, Tucker principally made his living as a movie projectionist and theatre electrician.

His most famous novel is probably The Year of the Quiet Sun (1970), runner-up for the Locus Award for Best Novel and a finalist for the Hugo and the Nebula Award. In 1976 it won a retrospective John W. Campbell Memorial Award for 1972 novels.

Other notable works include The Lincoln Hunters (1958), where time-travellers from the future seek to record Abraham Lincoln's "lost speech" of May 19, 1856. It contains a vivid description of Lincoln and his time, seen through the eyes of a future American who feels that Lincoln and his time compare favourably with the traveller’s own.

Tucker's habit of using the names of friends for minor characters in his fiction led to the literary term "tuckerization" or "tuckerism(s)."
For example he named a character after Lee Hoffman in his novel The Long Loud Silence, after Robert Bloch in The Lincoln Hunters.

#WordWeavers 6/10: What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?
Well, almost everything in the story is mirrored in our own history within the last 200–250 years and much of it remains in some parts of the world… but we would probably look askance at the way the Guild of Dawnsingers, still, recruits by taking girls from their families at age ten or eleven. At least, now, they are allowed to maintain some contact.
#books #writing #writersofmastodon

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/10: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?
Well, I suppose a truly inattentive reader could potentially miss just about anything…
I imagine a lot of people would miss the small acts of homage to Ursula K Le Guin (guys, there’s an actual Archipelago…). I wonder how many, even among the fortunate ones who’ve read Malafrena, will catch the direct quote in the current WIP?
#books #writing #writersofmastodon

#PennedPossibilities 1149: Think of a choice your MC made. How did it lead to where and who they are now?

I've talked about Bolt's series of stupid decisions that led to her being involuntarily employed by the mob. A dozen years later, the story starts with her photographing something incredibly newsworthy. A "cub" reporter at the scene, with a broken camera, asks her if she'll sell her photographs. Even though he uses the day angel equivalent of calling her the n-word to get her attention when she ignores him in the crowd, she chooses to sell.

The entire novel is predicated on that yes. If we consider "now" the last chapters, the "how did it lead to where and who they are" is her dealing with the fallout of becoming a famous photographer, helping (and protecting) new friends she meets, juggling multiple identities, and knowing "interesting" people on both sides of the law who are interested in those on the "opposite" side, and having no choice but to become involved when she knows better.

For Bolt, it's a real mess…

#PennedPossibilities 1149: Think of a choice your MC made. How did it lead to where and who they are now?

It was the choice to seek out the man she had been dreaming of and to learn why it was happening. Zerika is learning how to become a better person now, not just a skilled "huntress" (AKA a monster killer for hire). Every single day she’s changing and softening a little more, but all in a good way. She’s growing into a woman with friends, with a found family, a home, and finding her very own happiness. Oh, and she’s found her soulmate.

The first line of the story is the main character becoming conscious while in motion and continuing as if nothing happened. I hope it is haunting, and her acceptance of it eerie, even if neither her blackouts nor the story have anything supernatural about them.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.05 — If your characters had to swap lives for a week, which pairing would create the most chaos?

Rainy Days and Spilling Mead could defo swap bodies. Actually, there's worse but that would be plot advancement by stupidity. This is apples to apples since both are controlling individuals (the antagonists) who understand governing others, and both can work miracles beyond the household ones of which most daemons are capable. There would be zero handicaps regarding learning each other's body.

Literally, not figuratively, the world might freeze over or burn up as a result of this swap, about which I will give no clues. Assuming somehow the pair solve the rapid-death problem, possible even in the context of the series, each person has a completely different philosophy about dealing with life's interruptions.

Though Boss Mead is technically the bad guy mobster, it's impossible to imagine him trying to eliminate Rainy Days to take over the whole enchilada. He's a chill spider in a web sort; he might play with the constabulary and records, while enjoying attending theatre events, throwing a state event, and confusing everybody by not acting like the Director of Home and the Nine Outer Worlds. He knows his one-week lease could end with him losing his security deposit if he's not respectful.

On the other hand, Rainy Days is a bit evil. She might take care of a few personal scores in a way only a syndicate don is capable of—with none the wiser—investigate her underlings in the constabulary and the bureaucracy with Boss Mead's mob minions to find failings or corruption, and possibly improve Boss Mead's network to force him do things she wants to happen but can't do through proper channels.

But wait.

There's one more thing!

Rainy Days gets to be male for a week? Rainy Days will gleefully take advantage of the equipment swap. Yes, she would want her swapped-out body to be on the receiving end.

#PhantastikPrompts 10/5: What is the best thing that has ever happened to you as an author?

Being told that I'm a "comfort author" by friends and readers of mine. That I'm someone they come to read when the require some peace and quiet, need to emotionally recharge after a long day, and want something good to enjoy reading. There is no better feeling than being told that.
