9/11: What would you do if you met your antagonist?

Andert: "Well, I'll steel myself and greet him as is custom, with a bow of my head."

"I have practice, I see him almost every evening."

*grits teeth*

"Maybe it is a good thing he tends to ignore me. I'm just glad Goswin is allowed to sit with me, or I'd simply go mad."

68 โ€” MC POV: What is the best pick-up line you know?

Andert: "A what?"

*ME explains*

"Oh. Oh. I... have no idea. I've never... I mean, there was... but she..."

*blushes fiercely*

"She... married someone else."

*walks away*

67 โ€” Write about a recent decision that your MC has made.

Andert decided to become his weaponsmaster's friend, after digging a big, tragic secret out of him.

Best decision of his life. Even if it earns him a lot of bruises.

When youโ€™ve dreamed about being an author for over forty years, you donโ€™t let a little thing like an upset protagonist deter you!

9/9 โ€” MC POV: What do you hate the most about the author?

Andert: "She kept my story hidden for twenty years. I mean why?

"Does she hate me so much? Did my father persuade her? I really would like to understand that. It doesn't make any sense to me. I felt... abandoned.

"Although I'm grateful she finally found some backbone and got it published."

66 โ€” Describe in detail one item that your MC would want to inherit from a relative or has inherited.

There is one item in the story that has Andert interested - but he has no illusions about ever owning it.

You see, Goswin has forged a magical sword. It's black, with silver wire inlaid in the hand guard. But it's lost, after he and his mage friend were ambushed, on the way to deliver it....

65 โ€” MC POV: Write about a time you broke something.

Andert: "I don't break things. I'm careful with them." *glares*

""Oh. You meant bones. Well, I had some of my bones broken that one time when... I got trapped and beaten up by three former guards.

"That wasn't fun at all. But it taught me that I can survive a lot if I just focus on staying alive."

Never heard of me or my books? No problem. The first book in my epic fantasy series, Heir to the Crown, is free. Just search for Servant of the Crown.

64 โ€” Break up your MC's life (thus far) into 3 chapters and give each of them a title.

1) The Unwanted

Andert is a burden, but at least he's taken care of.

2) The Apprentice

Andert finds his first friends and begins training as a warrior. A brutal test of his mettle happens.

3) The Knight

As a new knight, Andert is sent on his first quest by his father - a suicide mission. Can he survive?

7: Share an image of a favorite book cover design.

In another post, I already mentioned Taire, my book cover designer. She also did the cover for a book by my friend, M.H. Milrem.

It's complicated, epic and very dark fantasy, and the cover totally represents all of that. I'll definitely recommend the tale for lovers of that genre.

9/7 โ€” Why did your villain become a villain?

Count Willomar is a good man and not truly a villain. However, he is not handling Andert very well.

You see, he fell hoplessly in love with this beautiful woman a few years after his wife died. When she agreed to become his new wife, he was beyond happy.

She died in childbirth. The child lived - and every time Willomar sees him, his heart breaks anew.

It really does happen just like that. I have three more epic fantasy series already planned out, plus a sci-fi series! Just need to write faster!
