What aspect of writing do you struggle with the most? When I first started out trying to string sentences together, you could say I wrestled with the whole kit and caboodle—even if I didn't realize it...

Most books begin with something small: a note, a question, a memory, or a character you can’t stop thinking about.

Then, page by page, it becomes real.

What first made you want to write yours? 💙📚

Bethany would definitely sew her own costume. She definitely knows her way around a needle and a thread. She would start it on the first of Oct.

Halloween approaches! How would they costume prep?

Has your character had their costume planned for months? Are they buying it off the rack? Are they throwing something on last minute and calling it a costume?

Character design question!

Does your character wear jewelry or similar decorative items?

Do they wear something special all the time, or do they change it up regularly?

My favorite Lesbian Character of my own is Fredericka Ann Jackson

She's modeled after 1800s era English Sapphic landowner-industrialist Anne Lister aka Gentleman Jack

These two WIP Villains of mine are partially modeled after two horrible school teachers from the third grade. I hated them more than any other teacher I had.

I think some people might relate to one of my villains, Mala Dea

Mala Dea is an archetypal villain who seeks long life, wishes to postpone her death as long as possible, fears the unknown, & is nostalgic for a past long gone

Antagonist day!

I think even the most evil villains have things people will connect to, either something big or small.

What's something you think people will find relatable about your antagonist?

Don’t make them evil just for the sake of being evil. Give them a distinct personality, believable motivations, emotional patterns, and a reason behind their choices.

Yes. When characters go to the Color Realm their bodies change to fit the new environment and more or less match their spirit, their inner energy and stuff

lol 😅 besides Inga, the selkie in my last novelette, there's also Gorgeous in The Weight of Her Gaze - she's a gorgon shapeshifter

And writing romances, emotional transformation is kinda part of the deal?

In my Shadowside series, which I started writing in 2008, a key character is Saliriel, a fallen angel who is also a trans woman - against the wishes of virtually all of her siblings

Find her in Harsh Gods
