#WordWeavers March 1: What is your greatest fear about your characters?

That they're shallow, that they don't change enough over time, that they'll be boring.

#WordWeavers March 2: Do you write scenes out of order?

Yes, very much so. I'm not convinced that's the best method for anything longer than a short story, though, so I might (holy shit! holy shit!) switch to detailed outlines for the next big project.

That said, the next big project is a sequel to a novella that's *very* episodic, and I want to keep that structure, so many be back to non-sequential writing.

#WordWeavers 3 March: Introduce your MC without telling us their age, gender, job and who they are to others.

She's mostly quiet these days. She does her chores. She listens at dinner. She sits by herself a lot.

#WordWeavers March 4. When was the last time your MC lied? Why?

She lived homeless for a little bit after leaving the cult. She used to engage people in conversation and then pick their pockets.
