@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers Sept. 17: By the end of your story, how many injuries has your MC had?
In biography, El suffers injuries other than physical. Forced separation from her brother, sex-based apartheid, the near-criminalizing of sex for women, and the slings and arrows of making her way back to […]

By the end of your story, how many injuries has your MC had?
Answering for disOrder, because it's the most horrific
* neurotoxin poisoning
* stunner blast and rough arrest (twice)
* beaten up in a bar and dumped unconscious in an alley
* additional bruising and discomfort […]
@smoking-gnu.bsky.social#WordWeavers 17/9: By the end of your story, how many injuries has your MC had?
For the current project? She starts out with some pretty significant ones, that being three stake-like projectiles pinning her through her gut into the mech she was driving for just a moment.

@jonsparksauthor.bsky.social#WordWeavers 17/9: By the end of your story, how many injuries has your MC had?
By the very end (Book 9, WIP), Jerya is 70, so a few aches and pains are to be expected, as well as stretch marks and so on. But she’s…

@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers 9/16: If your MC were elected mayor of your own town, would you stay or move. Why?
Stay! If El was the mayor, we'd have gone *on* from a good state. We wouldn't have to constantly fight with people like the school-board head, a sexual and religious bigot.
The parents had to work […]
@tomhalasz.bsky.social#WordWeavers Sep 16: If your MC were elected mayor of your own town, would you stay or move. Why?
He's rarely home, so I don't think he would be very good at that. He does fight evil corporations, so there is that.
@screwturn.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers Sept 16: If your MC was elected mayor of your own town, would you stay or move? Why?
Since my current MC becomes a trickster god and is able to control every atom, everywhere, at once, moving wouldn't make a wit of difference. However, I would expect a few unexpected deaths of […]
@jonsparksauthor.bsky.social#WordWeavers 16/9: If your MC was elected mayor of your own town, would you stay or move? Why?
The question doesn’t work here. In the UK elected mayors with actual power are currently only found in larger cities. In smaller towns like ours…

Your characters get one completely ordinary day with no villains, quests, murders, wars, prophecies, romantic disasters, or impending apocalypses. How do they spend it?
Bored. Might as well catch a baseball game.

Sounds remarkably like most other days. There are no murders in…

@julesjones.bsky.social#WordWeavers 14/9: Your MC is offered exactly what they've always wanted-but accepting it will cost them something they love. What do they choose?
I have had so many hashtag game questions this month that could be answered by "I'm currently writing Blake's 7 fanfic..."
@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers Day 12: If you removed one supporting character from your story, whose absence would change the plot the most?
Hmmn. Elthea's father, who silently made the first move in a sequence that depended on it
@tomhalasz.bsky.social#WordWeavers 14: Your MC is offered exactly what they've always wanted-but accepting it will cost them something they love. What do they choose?
Like coffee and chocolate? Oh, he chooses coffee and chocolate.
@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#WordWeavers Sept 14: Your MC is offered exactly what they’ve always wanted—but accepting it will cost them something they love: What do they choose?
I chose the hard thing, university, and gave up a nice business I would have enjoyed. It was the right thing to do

In a way this is the choice Jerya faces in Three Kinds of North. In the College of the Dawnsingers, she’s…

@robertawarner.bsky.social#WordWeavers Sept 13: Share a line of dialogue that sounds innocent without context but absolutely isn’t.
'This person needs help, doctor,’ she said. ‘Please do not just stand there.'
Hint: it's a person. Just not a human person.
