Do you like #horror, #darkfantasy, epic tales of terror and dread? Perhaps words you have to look up the definition of (perse is a color I swear)? How about characters almost constantly in peril? Blood-sucking trees? Hungry shadows?

Then I have good news!

‪Read something that said, "You need the big marshmallows, the kind you do the chubby bunny challenge with."

My brain changed 'chubby' to 'stuffy' and I am now laughing in a terribly ugly fashion.

Good thing I'm alone down here...don't have to explain myself.

An amorphous, starving collection of shadows, eyes and teeth is the primary villain. A few have said they quite like them.

Parnamyr; antagonist, protagonist and constant pain in my ass, should not be likeable but the fact he is proves I've found my readers.

I write no one with purpose. >.<
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Antagonist day! Are they likeable?

Would it surprise you if your antagonist was someone's favorite character?

Were they written to be cathartically hateable? Sympathetic but flawed? Somewhere in between?

I have 'dead' in #WakeandGlaer which I am definitely writing, #WIPSnips. I am not dealing with brainworms eating all my words at all.

Hey fellow creative folks. I hope we can collectively forgive ourselves for maybe not getting the running head start January was supposed to be. We’re doing the best we can in the times we live in and it is ROUGH out there

Looking to be a touch disturbed or unsettled?
Perhaps you enjoy reveling in discomfort?
Drowning in sweet, sweet agony?

Well, you may find my #horror to your tastes then...

It is fun to do taxes after a bunch of tax reform laws went into effect so you're stuck staring at numbers that seem very wrong and hoping desperately that the thing you're using will know if it is your fault.

...I'll be chewing on the walls until the returns are accepted...

Ooh, ooh. My favorite thing to figure out, really. As I should be writing #WakeandGlaer we're using the trauma monsters.

Delgrij is realizing he's never had one.
Wherever the Heart shines is Mitra's.
Faerai is afraid hers is gone forever.
Parnamyr's is Mitra (he'd never tell her that though).

What does your character consider "home" to them?

Is it a place? A person? A feeling?

Are they often "home" or have they lost it? Are they searching for it?

Have they never felt at home before?

I don’t have enough voice for the amount of screaming I need to let out

"Oh, hey, I made $45 last month." *checks royalties* "Oh...ne-nevermind."

It was actually $13.

I'm not going to math that out, I'm just going to be sad.

I am a fly on the wall desperately taking notes and hoping they don't ruin the plot.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?

Does that change depending on the circumstances?

Print copies may not pay me anything but I cannot properly express the delight when someone buys one.

You want me on your shelf? My words? With all the other stories you love?

How could I not love that?

Someone bought a copy of #WealdandWen yesterday, if that was you...thank you for the smile today. ^.-

My husband informed me today that Champions Online is still going. We haven't played it in like a decade? Thought it was dead. >.<

So I will be making superheroes and villains for the foreseeable future. Who knows if I will play any of them.

I just love the character creator...

"You need to air out your house, dust and get outside more. We did that and we were never sick," says the woman who used to scream at me for catching something new every week.

Maybe *you* were never sick. But sure, mom, the answer to everything is I need to get out more. Of course. Silly me.

Think my friend's baby got me sick. I've been sick with one thing or another for months now. Immune system made of tissue paper over here.

I love long e-mails from companies that amount to "I dunno." Like thanks for less than nothing. I now have even more questions I know you won't answer.

I am not going through the trouble of getting my kdp account reinstated on the off chance they'll put my book back up. I would rather eat glass.

It seems more critters have slithered under my door. If you plan to stay be aware it is weird, sad and gay here. Random bouts of manic posting, self-immolation and suffocating silence are also common.
