#ScribesAndMakers 8/21: Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.
I *do* have a character who's able to read minds. That would be Alistair.
I *also* have a character who sells antiques and art pieces. That would be Caden, and he's quite a businessman.
I don't have a character who was a spellcasting warlord at one time, though. That was a random answer I came up with in the moment.

#WordWeavers 2026.08.22 — Which character would make the worst roommate?
It isn't the primary antagonist who would make the worst roommate, as one might expect. Bolt (the MC) and Boss Mead spend a chapter-worthy night at his place, watched by his bodyguards (and take that as you will), though she hates his guts. That doesn't mean it wasn't fun, or wouldn't be fun if more permanent. A dodecade ago, she tried to make that arrangement, but failed for inexperience.
Actually, it is Pigeon the Pilferer who wins the prize as worst. Not only does the punk gangster have a bad attitude and a chip on his shoulder, that shoulder (and the rest of him) smells. Bromhidrosis, as diagnosed by another SC. It is a pretty harsh judgement when you consider their world is very hot and nothing like A/C exists. Everybody sweats. Every body has a unique smell, and I don't mean perfume. Worse, Pigeon prefers men—not that Bolt cares what preferences a person has. It seems like a waste to her, though. Another reason she wouldn't have him as a roommate.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.
No new words, brain was very tired. But I did quite a bit of editing for Moon. Friends helped finding a couple of names I only had placeholders for, and I laughed at an Easter Egg I put in and forgot.
Definitely fun.

I"m about to leave to do a reading at the Biloxi Public Library. The creator of the series, Mark Burr, hosted a reading last December (could it really have been that long?) in Ocean Springs. The energy, the lineup of authors, the cozy space. I held the launch in a coffee shop in the Marigny with two other writers presenting. It was fabulous. I've never told him of his inspiration. I'm gonna today.

#WordWeavers 8/22: "Which character would make the worst roommate?"
Aleister McCraw, hands down.
Rich, entitled, spoiled - and used to being in command. After all, he is the Alpha of the McCraw Pack.
He'd be a very reluctant roommate, as well.
