#PennedPossibilities 966 — SC POV: When was the last time you got lost?
Samuel: About a month ago, on the way home from the pub with the lads. I had far too much to drink… Hati was laughing at me as I stepped into the flat. She immediately knew what happened, and then she put me to bed. I’m such a knobhead.

#PennedPossibilities 967 — What level of education do your characters have?
Although it’s the tail end of the Victorian era, most of my characters are very, *very* old (and are supernatural beings). Their education is self-taught, if they even have one to begin with. One of my characters, the MMC, is well-read, clever, intelligent, and a published author. It’s all self-taught for Alistair, of course, like I said. With that being said, because they’re all so old, they also have the time to learn anything and everything. At this point, they have nothing *but* time on their hands.

@floofpaldi thanks! I've been meaning to give it a read, so I'll definitely give it a read.
And definitely give it a read. It's super interesting with its handling of the villainess trope
@MisWiredKE Which one did you mean, Zombie Loan or Blue Exorcist? They're both amazing. And thank you! I can't wait to check out May I Ask for One Final Thing. I bet it's great. It's always nice to have friends who also enjoy manga and anime as well.

@floofpaldi Blue Exorcist. I don't remember where I stumbled on it, but I've always been curious about it.
It is nice. I don't generally talk about my hobbies as I can go on and on about it (especially Pokemon). Also I can be a lot when I get going

@MisWiredKE Oh, okay. When you do get around to it, I'll just let you know one thing... My favorite character, in anything, honestly, is Father Shiro Fujimoto. I just absolutely love that man.
Never worry about being nerdy with me. I love Pokemon too. So much. We love a lot of the same stuff, I feel like.

@floofpaldi I will!
And it really does seem like we do like a lot of the same stuff

#PennedPossibilities 967.1 — Bonus Question (Courtesy of @sfwrtr
Pick a character. How do they, or how would they, react to sleep deprivation?Let’s take Alistair, for instance. He would go out of his mind with frustration and rage. If it was forced sleep deprivation, there might be a murder on the hands of the mortals or immortals once he’s “escaped,” depending on who’s done this to him. If it’s simply insomnia causing it, well… He would be a mess, rather neurotic and emotional, and Fenella would probably step in to *try* and help. Eleanor would as well, to be fair. She’s like a mother to everyone in Dorcha Castle, and that includes our dear Alistair. She’s very sweet.

#PennedPossibilities 672 — What’s the current word count for your WIP?
At the moment, I’m only at 42, 354 for “Wings of Quiet Longing,” and that’s alright so far. I’m taking my time with it. I won’t rush the writing process.

@floofpaldi The digits in the prompt number rearranged themselves. This happens to me all the time because I'm dyslexic—my imposterToot ought have been 967.1 not 976.1). Shouldn't 672 read 968? Didn't PM so you don't get a flood of people telling you the same thing.

@sfwrtr No, no, that was one was on me, not you. Don't worry. You didn't mess up any of the numbers for yours. 968 was supposed to be the number, so I just fixed it. Thank you for letting me know. People will be confused, it's only natural, but I'll post about it later in the morning. Accidents happen. Thanks for letting me know because I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

#PennedPossibilities 969 — Do your stories have happy endings?
I always strive for a happy ending. Whether I achieve that or not is up to the readers and what they wanted said “happy ending” to be. Those two things might not jive.
You could describe my stories as having “angst with a happy ending.”

#PennedPossibilities 970 — MC POV: Have you ever experienced something that couldn’t be logically explained?
Alistair: I myself cannot be logically explained, so the answer to that one is definitely a resounding yes. The supernatural exists, and I’m immortal.

#PennedPossibilities 971 — Where does your SC feel the safest? Is there a particular person or object that helps them feel safe?
For Hati, it’s a particular person. Two, in fact. It’s either with Samuel (her husband) or with Alistair (her best friend). She’s easy to pin that way.

#PennedPossibilities 972 — Do you ever have to deal with “trolls” where your writing is concerned? Do you receive hate?
To be fair, and I'm knocking on wood while I'm saying this, I haven't dealt with any nasty bastards in a *long* time. It used to really bother me, until I realized that it wasn't actually a reflection on me but on them. It's not my problem. Things like that don't bother me anymore. I have bigger fish to fry.

#PennedPossibilities 973 — How do you select the names of your characters? For you, is there a method?
For me, it’s simple: the names come to me. Sometimes, I might have to open some sites for extremely Scottish first or last names, but hey. I’m sure I won’t be faulted for that.

#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest?
I think I’ll talk about romantic jealousy here for my post. Alistair does, but he would never say a word about it. He’ll keep it all inside. Fenella does, especially nowadays with Alistair, and it might manifest itself in short answers, easy aggravation, and heavy sighs. You know, the telltale signs of being peeved about something...

#PennedPossibilities 975 — SC POV: What did you get into trouble for the most when you were young?
Hati: Oh, I was always in trouble. I was such a rebellious little thing! I used to sneak out of the house and my mum would scream at me every morning for it! They’re *almost* fond memories now. I miss her, and I always will.

#PennedPossibilities 975.1 — Author / Artist POV: Sometimes we end up In the Zone. Do you work until you drop? Or to a stopping point? Can you do anything but sleep afterwards?
A great big "thank you" to @sfwrtr for this prompt.
I'm usually pretty good about this. I never "work until I drop," and I always feel like I know the stopping point. Having MS, I've learned to know my body pretty well. I know what I need. But if I still have ideas after I've stopped writing for the day, I'll jot them down on my phone. Sometimes, I'll be writing late at night and then head to bed right afterward. I'll be lying in bed, and I'm suddenly flooded with ideas. I'll just roll over, groan in annoyance, and reach for my phone to scribble things down for the following day or whenever.
There's no better feeling than being in the zone. When the muse comes a'knocking, we can't ignore it!

#PennedPossibilities 976 — What aspect of your SC’s personality are they most insecure about?
Hati both loves and loathes how outspoken (and brave) she is. It gets her into trouble a lot. Think about it this way… This story takes place in 1890, and she’s a woman. It was a scary combination for the time period, just being a woman who’s filled with courage and has a voice that she’s willing to use.

#PennedPossibilities 977 — Have your characters ever travelled outside their country of birth? If so, when and where did they go, and why did they go there?
Some answers might be spoilers, but I think I’ll answer this one regardless of that.
Alistair: To everyone’s surprise, yes. I can’t say why or when.
Fenella: Yes, of course. She traveled the world for years.
Caden: Yes, he lived in London decades ago. With his ex-cult.
Isma: Yes. This one is obvious. He travels everywhere.
Duncan: He has. To London. (He was Jack the Ripper.)
Hati: Never.
Samuel: Never.
Jonathan: He hasn’t.
Eleanor: She has, but only to America for a holiday. She was much younger.#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves
