Age verification?

I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in theater shortly after original release.

I saw Star Wars in a theater on its original opening day.

I saw all three Lord of the Rings films in cinema when they first came out.

You know, I'm kind of afraid of making decisions like this for these characters.
Both Chana and Mathias are older and are pretty far away from their first loves.
She's intense, even at a young age and would have burned through that first person or persons.
Mathias is more quiet and focused.

It's February, so let's talk about romance just a bit!

Who was your character's first love?

Was it a positive relationship for them or less so?

How did it end (if at all), and how did that affect them?

Grisira looks back on her first love fondly. It was 32 years ago (when she was 20), with a young woman who had originally been pining after Grisira's older brother. Grisira's charm and passion won her over, and they were together for about eight months. (1/2)

Anastasia has a sophisticated style. Vivian is a brawler.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Let's talk fighting styles!

How does your character fight? Do they wield weapons? Magic? Are they a brawler? Or do they have a more sophisticated fighting style?

Or are they a pacifist who would never fight?

If you’ve never seen it, I urge you (and everyone) to check out the bluegrass version of White Rabbit (is such a thing possible?) by Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway. Don’t leave before the banjo coda.

Falsely or not, Cat N. Kinnery handles most accusations the same--enjoy the attention until she gets tired of it, then disappear.

Melody Fayth has never been accused of anything, falsely or not. Yet.
But I do have some doozies planned.

#OCSky
Has your original character ever been falsely accused?

How did they prove their innocence, if at all?

I meant to answer my own question on this one and forgot!

How to get into a myslemir: Normal people cannot and never do.

Certain Mind elemental abilities allow it, but it's usually a combination effect. So, no octant Godbloods, only half and quarters who got lucky.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders If you have nonphysical realms in your setting, how can they be accessed? Can characters go there or somehow 'see' inside it? Does something else live there and come out when summoned?

If you currently have Ring, disable it, uninstall it. Don't support this regime's quest to kidnap and assault everyone who doesn't look white enough or objects to the fascism. If you must have a security cam, it's not difficult to set up your own closed-circuit system that no one else can access.
NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.

With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

There is a prophecy about a child born on the shore of the sea who will destroy the Realms and release those in ancient bondage.

WIP Love Interest

Nothing in the Rose book. Chana flirts, has a few trysts, but nothing serious. Mathias doesn't have time for anything that's not about getting Rose to the border. And he has to be careful in the Human Realm.

Lovely profile of a fantastic filmmaker, alongside everything else.
Cannot believe that I got to profile an extraordinary filmmaker, who happens to be the mother of NYC’s new mayor, and think about intersections of art and politics, and how familial love might produce a buffer against the corrosive politics and cynicism of our time. My story about Mira Nair:

I must apologize to Matsumoto because the last 2 reviews I have done of his books have accused him of being a bit backwards. He proved me wrong here. A surprisingly progressive thriller I was hooked from pg 1!
Suspicion by Seicho Matsumoto and Translated by Jesse Kirkwood
Kumako Onizuka is sure to be convicted of murdering her husband, everyone from the police to the entire population of her town knows she did it because journalist Moichi Akitani told them she did. He spent days tracking down every bit of dirt on her he could find and once he was sure that all of this pointed to the damning conclusion that Onizuka was guilty he published it.

Just realized I missed day 9.

Um, yeah.

I'll share a little excerpt or two later today.

#TimeTravelAuthors
Day 3:

BLUE SKIES and FROM NOW ON are companion pieces - they start at the exact same moment and tell the same story, but from two different characters' perspectives.

BLUE SKIES starts with a dad skydiving.

FROM NOW ON starts with his daughter, watching from the ground.
