#WordWeavers Mar. 29: How big is your cast of characters?
#FirstFire has the smallest cast of all my fantasy novels, because it's just Lysandra and her bodyguard/companion Markos for 75% of the book. Others come and go as the narrative requires.

#WordWeavers Mar. 28: When was the last time your MC got excited? Why?
Probably her Dash from The Incredibles moment, thanks to a loan from Hermes. To say more would be #Spoilers. You'll just have to read #FirstFire when it comes out.

#WordWeavers Mar. 26: SC POV: What’s your favourite smell?
SC would be Markos, a Corinthian solider: "Making me choose between fresh baked bread an hyacinths is just cruel. I hope they have hyacinths in Elysium."

#WordWeavers Mar. 21: Where does your MC fall, on a scale of timid to recklessly brave?
Lysandra starts off fairly sheltered, timid, and unsure and finds her courage during her journey to Mount Olympos.

#WordWeavers Mar. 15: If your SC came across a large crystal that was glowing from within, what would they do w/it?
Markos would assume it was some thing left by the gods that would cause misery, and would give it a wide berth.

#WordWeavers Mar. 13: Tell us about a quirk your SC has.
By modern standards Markos is not quirky. By Ancient Greek standards, he's quirky because he treats a teenage girl w/respect, & believes she should choose her own destiny.

#WordWeavers Mar. 12: How could someone who knows your MC well console them after the last time you made them suffer?
Well, it's all in the book. You're just going to have to read #FirstFire when it comes out later this year.

#WordWeavers Mar. 10: Antagonist POV: Imagine you achieved your goal. What’s next?
What's next for a capricious Greek deity? Get into a family feud, find some other mortal to toy with, the usual.

#WordWeavers Mar. 4: When was the last time your MC lied?
For my current WiP, I'm don't recall my MC actually lying about anything. I'm sure #ZackJackson has lied about something now and again, and characters in my fantasy novels, too.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 1: What is the fundamental goal you seek to achieve with your current WIP?
To create an entertaining fantasy story set in Ancient Greece than folks of all ages/backgrounds can enjoy & make some money, hopefully.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WritersCoffeeClub Feb. 26: Does your current WIP have an antagonist?
No. The goddess who cursed the land because of the MC's betrothed has nothing personal against the protagonist. If anything, she's sympathetic to Lysandra's plight.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WordWeavers Feb. 25: How is light created in your book? Candles, electricity, magic, or what?
I'll assume we're talking about my WiP, because I have almost a dozen books out now.
The sun and fire are the primary sources of light.

#WordWeavers Feb. 20: What tropes are in your current project?
More than I can list, but off the top of my head: declaration of personal independence, questioning societal traditions/rules, a loss of innocence, and gratuitous Greek.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WordWeavers Feb. 19: Does your antagonist believe in the supernatural?
Absolutely. Persephone is a goddess who splits her time between Hades and Mt. Olympos, so, of course, she believes in herself.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WordWeavers Feb 18: Can your MC carry a tune?
Yes, Lysandra can sing. She hasn't learned an instrument yet. It doesn't really come up in the story though, except as a passing mention.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
#WordWeavers Feb. 16: If your MC had a statue put up in their honor, what it be for?
For my WiP, because she climbed Mt. Olympos and retrieved the fire the oracle said would end the deadly blizzard afflicting Korinth.
#Books #Writing #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #FirstFire
They found a fallen tree to sit on while they ate the last of their bread and some of the dried fruits they'd acquired from the last farm they stayed at. Wisps of fogs swirled over the top of the still pond water in a diaphanous dance Lysandra found at once mesmerizing and unnatural.
