Noah & his mom Cassie from #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.
"Things don't have to be like this. There could be other ways. There could be other worlds."
Well I started out this month intending to work on #Charagma, & wrote about 25K words!
... Then my muse decided we needed to write #Tenement instead - 11K words! 😅
Unfortunately all the Tenement bits are SPOILERS, so here's the last bit I wrote from Charagma instead:

Writing sprints have been surprisingly helpful in forcing me to get stuff down and not be distracted. It's not always good, but it's SOMETHING.
This month was my first time doing a writeathon & it started off great, but fell off quickly. I think my style doesn't fit it well 😩
November 22nd: Do you find external challenges useful? e.g. writeathons, sprinting, prompts etc.

Most of them aren't useful to me due work and unpredictably of my ability to function. That said, I'm finding that very narrow scoped ones, like prompts, can be very useful for a "well, why not?"
Like fleshing out an ancient civilization or a wipsnip word making me write 250 words.

Virgil became accustomed to not being touched, not that he prefers that. He just has... no one.
Except Lucifer, who limits it hand holding, as Virgil is ace, which being so touch starved kind of melts Virgil.
Once they *FINALLY* admit it, that changes... quite a bit.

How does your character feel about physical touch?
Are they fans of a handshake, hug, pat on the back, etc?
Do they prefer to keep their distance?
Does it matter how close they are to the other person?

Virgil:
🟥 Apologies are defensive reflex, rarely heartfelt
🟥 Massive Workaholic
🟥 "I would have been right, if I was right"
🟥/🟩 He will help anyone. He can't stop himself.
🟥 Lives entirely off the company expense account
🟥 People become like fog once they're not around

Earlier, we shared some Antagonist green flags. Now let's see some Main Character red flags! 🟥

Noah can be like this comic at times 😅 He too easily assumes nobody else has ever questioned things like he does, not realizing people HAVE, but they got slapped down.
He also can be a bit selfish & willing to make moral concessions for the sake of his goals... Though he has a line!

Well I was hoping not to have any repeats this month 😅 But for this question I'd have to say either Lord of the Rings or Ella Enchanted.
Since LOTR is more well known, let's go with Ella.
Her story is all about her trying to overcome a curse of obedience laid on her when she was a🧵

Context: the physical gender transition enchantment doesn't persist beyond death (a problem that the priests of Ashkenta are actively working to solve), so Archer's the only one who'd know that a dead 'woman's' corpse might be Sabbat's

It's set in the 27th century...
We are the ancient lost civilisation...
Maybe the Liana stories have more interesting ancient civilisations then...

Oh, boy, DOES IT.
So, there are four main regions in Karatera - the Coastlands, the Red Sands, the Violet Sands and the Expanses. Each of these regions is host to a fallen civilisation, so Karatera is absolutely plastered with ancient ruins.

The alchemists collect a variety of substances which either have magical properties in this world or can be used some other way in their magical-chemistry.
It reminds Shallot of her mother's house, which she can't stand.

Well I have been kinda taking a break from Mireia snips lately, but considering the main source of magic power in Atalantis is crystals... here we are 😅
Mireia's first time using a kaana crystal, from Book 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy.
