Day 27

27-Are there human rights issues in your world? If so, does your MC ever address them? MC1 doesn't care about anyone's problems outside of his own. He is convinced the world is out to get him. MC2 cares, and tries to help one person, but mostly she's trying to keep her children safe.

Day 25

25-What tropes do you utilize in your story? That's a hard one. I'm not far enough along to answer that one yet. I imagine they'll become apparent as I write. I'm a pantser, so it unfolds as it unfolds.

Day 24

24-Does food play a role in your book? Food can be hard to come by during certain times. Feeding her children is MC2's greatest concern. MC1 is also concerned, but gets distracted and often forgets.

Day 23

23-Are any of your characters artistic or musicians?

MC1 is not. MC2 could be a writer but needs maturity and encouragement. One of their children is artistic. MC1's brother plays the guitar. MC2's brother appreciates art and music.

Day 22

22-Describe a ritual or tradition from your world. As this is based in the mid-1970s southern US, the rituals and traditions are largely the same as now. Some hold more significance than others, and that will be demonstrated in the story.

Day 21

21-How fair is your world?
MC1 feels that it is extraordinarily unfair - feels. MC2 recognizes that sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't, and that a lot of the times it's about what choices they make.

Please read my latest story, Cool Cecilia. As a man enters his golden years, he canā€™t help but reflect on his own perceived lack of coolness. However, he finds solace in fond memories of his older sister, and their childhood and teenage years, growing up first in Paraguay and then New Jersey.

Day 20

20-How dangerous is your world? What are some of the dangers?

MC2's world is very dangerous. She has no port in any storm. Her kids aren't safe. She has no predictability, no safety nets, no guarantee even of feeding her children every day.

Day 19

19-Describe your favorite side character and their relationship with your MC. Michael is my MC1's brother, MC2's BIL. He is complicated. I can't reveal too much here, but he will play an integral part in their story.

So, and folks, are any of you finding agents that have migrated to Mastodon?

I followed many on the other site, and found that they gave me a valuable -- and sometimes hilarious -- insight into the zeitgeist of the publishing business.

Like the one who was begging in her MSWL for a remake of The Three Musketeers, but with lesbian mermaids.

She was serious. wtaf.

Anyway, I kind of miss that shit.

Day 15

15-How does your MC feel around other people? MC1 is comfortable around "his" people but very uncomfortable around anyone he feels less than, for whatever reason. MC2 feels uncomfortable around almost everyone except a very select few.
