@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers 9/21: In your current WIP, which character do you relate to the least and why?
Our moms, who have been brainwashed by being taught obsolete and erroneous information by *their* mothers, their mothers before them, and their mothers...
This work is biography, about Elthea's and my […]
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers 21. In your current WIP, which character do you relate to the least and why?
I relate to all of them on some level, or I couldn't write them. But the least... the one farthest away from me... might be The Hamster, the indomitable, unstoppable golden hamster. I don't have that kind […]
@jonsparksauthor.bsky.social#WordWeavers 21/9: In your current WIP, which character do you relate to the least and why?

@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers Sep 19. What are three personality strengths your antagonist has?
Blindly following obsolete dictats from her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, ad infinitum.
Supporting her peers in the denigration of all their girl-children.
Sneering at anyone who wasn't *just* like them.
@tomhalasz.bsky.social#WordWeavers 9/19: "What are three personality strengths your antagonist has?"
Greed
Stupidity
Luck
Amazing how far you can go with those three.
@jonsparksauthor.bsky.social#WordWeavers 19/9: What are three personality strengths your antagonist has?

Intuition

The last is because he has faith in humanity. It may cause trouble for him, but he never learns.
Definitely, a strength.

Love, loyalty, high sales/bullshit resistance
@jonsparksauthor.bsky.social#WordWeavers 18/9: What are three personality strengths your MC has?

Cantata Deeps:
Sonata has been stunned (several times), whacked with a baton across the head, and the knee, partially strangled, had her shoulder kicked in, and been smashed about in a tumbling escape pod.
