#WordWeavers Day 12: SC POV: What you find difficult to say to other people

Jo: I can't tell Ellis I'm happy for him. How can I when it would be a lie. He's found his people; bully for him. Don't get me wrong. I don't begrudge him for it, but it's a total head fuck. I mean, who wants to be made vulnerable in that way? Look what happened because of it.
It's better to steer clear of all that relationship crap. I only have to worry about me and I prefer it that way.

#PennedPossibilities 69 — MC POV: If you could live to see any event in the future, what would it be?

Jack: I don't want to see the future. Not my future anyway. What if... nah, no way. It's too much. I know what I want the future to look like, but wishing it and having it are two different things. Maybe everything turns out perfectly for us. If it doesn't, then I suppose I'll deal with it then. All we have is right now and that has to be enough, doesn't it?

#PennedPossibilities 67 — Write about a recent decision that your MC has made.

Marcus made the decision to leave the club without letting anyone know he was going. That was a mistake.
Though it did end up resolving an argument he was having with Ellis, so some good came out of it.
And scars are sexy, right?

#PennedPossibilities 64 — Break up your MC's life (thus far) into 3 chapters and give each of them a title.

Ellis
1. Lone wolf
2. Red in tooth and claw
3. Alpha

Marcus
1. The lonely prince
2. A switch in time
3. Eyes wide open

Jack
1. Home is where the hurt is
2. Hiding in plain sight
3. The tie that binds

#WordWeavers Day 6. When is a detailed description necessary and when is it better to skip?

Don't know about necessary, but I'm better at describing people and emotions, and not so good with descriptions of their wider environment. It's something I need to work on.
I love detailing the intimacy and connection between my characters, so that's what I concentrate on.

#PennedPossibilities 63 — The most offensive thing your MC has ever heard anyone say?

Jack won't answer this. He hates thinking about the things his uncle said about him and they still detrimentally impact his self worth. It's not so much the words themselves, but the negative feeling behind them. He wanted them to hurt, and they did.
Other words, that could be taken as offensive, have a completely different effect on him. It's all about context and sentiment.

#PennedPossibilities 61 — Write about something your MC frequently forgets

Marcus forgets to make allowances for other people. He tends to either dismiss them, or go all in. There's no in-between. So when someone he trusts lets him down in some way, he finds it hard to accept and move on.

Jack often forgets to take care of himself.

Ellis doesn't forget things. He likes order and neatness. Probably a result of the chaos of his childhood.

#WordWeavers Day 4: Does your antagonist have a chance to become a better person?

Of course. But he chooses greed and self interest. There is also a fear of being seen as weak in the eyes of the pack to motivate him. When you take something, using your superior strength and cunning, it's hard to let that go, especially when you know others are eying your position and wondering if you're as good as you used to be.

#PennedPossibilities 59 — What is the best piece of advice that your MC has ever been given?

"Start walking. Don't ever come back or you'll regret it."

There are many things Ellis regrets about that time, but going back, when he finally did, will never be one of them.

#WritingWonders 28: Who is the first character you created for this work?

Marcus already existed, in another story. Ellis started as a minor secondary character in the same one, but they never met.
Although I knew Marcus would be an MC in this one, Jack came to life and became the focal point until Ellis migrated over and evolved to bring the three of them together.

MC POV: 3 things in your bedroom

Marcus: That is one huge mother of a bed.
Ellis: All the better to...
Marcus: Don't you dare.
Ellis: You don't want a little wolf roleplay?
Marcus: I didn't say that, did I?
Jack: Uh...there are restraints attached to it.
Marcus: Top and bottom?
Jack: Yeah.
Marcus: Hmm...
Ellis: Check out the wardrobe.
Jack: What's in there?
Marcus: Oh shit!
Jack: Oooooohhh.
Marcus: How much time do we have?

#WritingWonders Day 25. What do your MCs never want their parental figures to know?

Marcus wouldn't want them to know how much it still hurts that they never loved him.
Ellis feels betrayed by the way his parents turned their back on him. He doesn't care what they know about his life.
Jack's parents died when he was 8. His uncle raised him. He'd hate for that man to find out how he's living now. To realise he likes being dominated. Yeah, that wouldn't go well.

#WritingWonders Day 24 — Antagonist POV: What do you like the most about the place where you live?

(Unknown Antag): Not much right now. It's a shithole. But I have plans to change a lot of things. I need money to do it and I know just where to find it.
Things are already in motion, so watch this space.

#WritingWonders Day 8: MC's biggest mistake?

Marcus might be about to make it.
I haven't written the words yet, but he's teetering on the edge of a decision that could end very badly.

#PennedPossibilities 49 — MC POV: Something you've learned of late?

Marcus: Not to trust anyone, no matter how much you want to. You might think they're on the level, but there's always something they're hiding.
Jack: He told us when he was ready.
Marcus: It's not about *when* he told us, Jack. It's *what* he told us.
Jack: Is it so bad?
Marcus: I don't know. Is murder bad?
Jack: In...in the right circumstances, maybe it's okay.
Marcus: It's not as simple as that.

#PennedPossibilities 48 — How MCs react to compliments?

Jack - Praise and compliments are weird. He likes them with an edge. Call him a good little slut and he'll melt at your feet. If you mean it.

Marcus will brush them off but inside he feels warm and itchy for more.

Ellis - Can always tell when he's made someone feel good. His wolf will puff up with pride as their scent changes and their body language opens up. He prefers to give them, but they're nice to receive.

#MMMRomance #Shifters

#WritingWonders Day 22. What makes my heroes feel weak?

Ellis - When people he cares for are threatened, he has physical strength, the money and the people to keep them safe. So why does he still let the fear creep in?

Marcus - Being ignored, talked over or just forgotten. Do his parents even wonder about him?

Jack - Fists hurt, but words have the power to grind him into dust.

#PennedPossibilities 47 — MC POV: What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Marcus: I've eaten a lot of weird shit. refused a lot of it too. Rich people think up all sorts of crazy torture for their food and then charge stupid amounts of money for it.
Jack: Like what?
Marcus: [sighs] Foi gras, ortolan bunting, kopi luwak.
Jack: I don't know what any of that is.
Marcus: Be glad you don't. It's fucked up.

#WritingWonders Day 21. MC POV: Stranger makes a crude comment about your SO. How do you react?

Marcus: Depends on the context. In the club, if that was what they wanted, then all power to them. I mean, don't ever yuck on someone's yum, yeah?
Me: And if they didn't want it?
Marcus: [chuckles darkly] I may be smaller than a lot of men, but the hell to that. I'd make sure they saw the error of their ways. And if all else fails, Ellis has hella big teeth and claws.

#WolfShifter #MMMRomance #WIP

#PennedPossibilities 46 — What is the priority for your MC right now?

Ellis will do whatever it takes to ensure Jack and Marcus don't get caught up in whatever bullshit his old pack is trying to pull. He doesn't care if they come for him. But *no one* gets to hurt his... Lovers? Family? Mates?
