Dido gravitates towards confidence. She likes it when someone else can take the lead and make things happen.

Wendy doesn't typically look for companionship. She's been on her own a long time. But she might be taken with with someone who actually gives a shit about her.

The quality Lawcket is most drawn to in another person is kindness.
He will excuse cowardly actions, & will sympathize with many failures, but compassion towards others is a make it or break it for whether he can feel about you as a friend.

Rider thinks he admires bravery most, 1/3

Av'ry: Genuineness.

As a partially reformed conman and manipulator, who ended up that way due to the society he was raised in, Av'ry appreciates when someone is fully themselves. Without an agenda, without trying to gain anything from him.

Hailey:

"What kinda companion we talkin'? Just kidding. Loyalty, I guess. Someone I know isn't gonna stab me in the back or whatever. I dunno, I like feeling safe around the people I keep close because I've had waaaay too much betrayal for someone who's barely out of high school."

Jordan: loves Ash’s calm demeanor and her take charge character. He’s attracted to her sarcastic humor and her unrelenting sense of justice.

Ash loves Jordan’s quiet humility and his desire to serve others even if it seems old fashioned. #LitHodgepodge

Makoto: Determination. Once I set my mind on a goal, I stop at nothing to accomplish it, and I would prefer that others match my drive.

Gil Dong: I'll pick determination too. No matter what comes my way, I'll stand my ground, and I look for people who can stand beside me.

NSFW warning.

There is a TINY amount of dialogue here, but mostly narration 😅

Tryna catch up 😅 I finally took OP's advice and made some character picrews. This is Nico Schaefer Atkinson. He is a guy, just limited picrew options, but tried to communicate that as well as I could w/ a long-haired character lol

This feels a lot like that one question that vexed me earlier. I don't have the brains today to engage with this, unfortunately. I'll try to answer questions people ask if I have anything of value to add.

Pentober Day 11: BRIDGE. A Friday incident call spins up a call bridge. Then the network goes dark and something answers.

@sayaashrah.bsky.social you are an exemplary writer of fight scenes. There’s a lot that goes into them. What are the most important elements to focus on when crafting one?
What details might be most and least important?

(Others who write them feel free to jump in too)

I'd definitely want to talk to Robert E. Howard or Hemmingway about writing.

Contentious subject, but how do youz feel about using accents in your work? A simple aid for character voice? Too cheesy? An important part of your style/cultural representation? Appropriative when done wrong? I write accents a lot, but -have- had reading experiences ruined by them. 💬

#LitHodgePodge @rachaelrainerivers.bsky.social has an amazing way with words that really draws you into the character. How do you discern what to show? What to hide? I think it's a good convo to have!

-This also goes for all writers and authors out there who are struggling out there with the same issues I'm having, who have similar advice.
I'm basically trying to "Bluey" myself out of this one, like in the episode "The Show".

-possible to pick yourself up when there's so much negativity in the news and the publishing industry, facing rejection after rejection, and knowing that you will be the ONLY person in your family to tell your story? How do I stay positive?

Just got off a summit for writers called Write Anyway featuring @suecampbell.bsky.social and other writers and book coaches, I wanted to ask but never got answered:
As a failure struggling neurodivergent writer with a disability & chronic pain, how is it...
