Pastimes include writing, thinking about cats and misplacing my phone.

@savvylittleminx Not sure the particulars of your vacays, but you can appeal it and basically say you’re scheduled to be out of town.

Phantom of the Opera always circles back to Raoul vs Erik/Phantom.

And ultimately, at seems to boil down to “would you rather choose someone that would die for you or someone that would kill for you?”

Am…I a broken reader?

Did not cry at the following deaths:
Beth March
Dobby
Piggy
Charlotte (EB White)

😔

Maybe it was the age I was at while reading?

How do characters swear in a non-Christian/non-religious fantasy novel?

God bless
Bless
Christ
Geeze/Geezus

…all have subtle religious underpinnings.

Things like shit, damn, f*ck can sometimes be a bit too harsh.

I have two degrees in English language and writing and today I (re?)learned the difference between "invoke" and "evoke". Man, I love words.

@Tranquil_Tevene I’ve been so preoccupied with building rounded support characters that I now need to go back and develop an equally thought out development for the main character

[AC Murphy @ScribeOfMorrow]

I’ve run into a unique issue where, in fear of creating flat side characters, they have become rich and vibrant and all have colorful backstories.

But by comparison the main character now seems quite dull.
