#PennedPossibilities 950 — Can your MC swim? If not, why not? If so, how did they learn? (New thread for my friends~!) Alistair can swim. He learned the hard way during a particular war. And no, I won't say which one. I can't. No spoilers here. If I remember correctly, I think it comes up later in a random conversation. (For context, he's an immortal, a vampire. He's seen so many things come to pass during his lifetime.) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 951 — MC POV: Write about something presently in your life that is “worth it.” Fenella: *He’s* worth it. Alistair is worth all of it and more. Why do you think I’ve ensured it all? And why do you think I eventually came home to Dorcha Castle to seek his protection? Because he will always protect me, I *trust* implicitly, and I will always care deeply for this man. I’ve been in love with him for so long. What an idiot I was to end things between us and leave the safety of our castle for a ridiculous trip to Paris. It’s been nine long years and my feelings have never changed. I thought he grew bored of me back then. As it turns out, I might not have been the only one who thought so. I’m also beginning to think I might not be alone in my affections, either. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 954 — What is your SC’s skill level when it comes to cooking and baking? Hati is fabulous at both, and Sam appreciates it. She actually *enjoys* cooking and baking. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 955 — Is your MC keeping any secrets? Can you reveal them to us? Two of them, actually, but I can’t elaborate on those secrets just yet, so I’ll just list them. • Alistair’s age... (Shhh.) • His love for Fenella. He has very good reasons for keeping both hidden. The very first one is even hidden from the readers for a while. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 956 — With whom is your SC’s most important relationship? It’s Hati’s husband, of course. His name is Samuel. She and Sam have been together for years now, and they would be lost without each other. They’re both werewolves. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 957 — Does your MC have or wear a signature color? Alistair does, but it’s never done on purpose. He tends to wear deep blues, darker shades, and occasional purples and plums. (Typical vampire lol. At least he doesn’t wear a lot of red, though!) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 959 — MC POV: Complete this thought: “I wish I had paid more attention when…” Alistair: I wish I had paid more attention when Caden told me about the coven (more like a cult) that he was in a decade ago. I wish I listened closer. Now I’m having to pore through my old journals for any important pieces of information I might have jotted down about them. Not only is it tiresome but most of it is entirely unhelpful for us. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 960 — Describe the longest romantic relationship your MC has ever had. (If they’ve had one.) Alistair’s one and only love was Miss Fenella Ralston (AKA Lady Fenella McKay). They were quite a pair. Random fact, unlike other vampires, they actually enjoyed making love. While she’s had other partners in her long life, he hasn’t. He wasn’t ever interested in a mate until her. He was in love with her for decades before he finally worked up the nerve to tell her, and although they eventually ended things between them, he still loves her. (And guess what? She still loves him as well.) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 961 — SC POV: Have you ever spoken up when you saw that something going on was wrong? Were you scared? What was the end result? Hati: I did. Alistair was in trouble. So was Fenella. I yelled out, and then I shifted into my wolf form and ran to their aid. And yes, I was utterly terrified. The end result was certainly… Well, no, that would require far too much explaining. But I will say this: everything was okay. (I can't explain too much... Spoilers!) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 962 — If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre? Give me a spooky OST, something ornate, complex, and rich with emotional depth. It would be soft and mournful during the sadder moments, then uplifting, inspiring, moving, and emotional at times, and serious, scary, and terrifyingly brash and loud at others. It needs to be rich and dynamic, allowing for expressive contrasts and emotional depth. All classical, of course. In my mind, it would be reminiscent of Hammer Horror as well, which was what started this entire novel (which turned into a series) for me. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 964 — MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation? Fenella: Murdering useless, evil men. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 965 — What is your MC’s reaction when someone close to them is sick or injured? How do they behave? Alistair’s usually a mess, to be fair. He’ll do his best to take care of whoever is injured, to do whatever needs to be done to either save them from a certain rough situation or to keep them safe. There’s a scene that relates to this very prompt and it happens to come rather soon. It’s in an upcoming chapter. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 966 — SC POV: When was the last time you got lost? Samuel: About a month ago, on the way home from the pub with the lads. I had far too much to drink… Hati was laughing at me as I stepped into the flat. She immediately knew what happened, and then she put me to bed. I’m such a knobhead. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 967 — What level of education do your characters have? Although it’s the tail end of the Victorian era, most of my characters are very, *very* old (and are supernatural beings). Their education is self-taught, if they even have one to begin with. One of my characters, the MMC, is well-read, clever, intelligent, and a published author. It’s all self-taught for Alistair, of course, like I said. With that being said, because they’re all so old, they also have the time to learn anything and everything. At this point, they have nothing *but* time on their hands. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 967.1 — Bonus Question (Courtesy of @sfwrtr@eldritch.cafe): Pick a character. How do they, or how would they, react to sleep deprivation? Let’s take Alistair, for instance. He would go out of his mind with frustration and rage. If it was forced sleep deprivation, there might be a murder on the hands of the mortals or immortals once he’s “escaped,” depending on who’s done this to him. If it’s simply insomnia causing it, well… He would be a mess, rather neurotic and emotional, and Fenella would probably step in to *try* and help. Eleanor would as well, to be fair. She’s like a mother to everyone in Dorcha Castle, and that includes our dear Alistair. She’s very sweet. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 968 — What’s the current word count for your WIP? At the moment, I’m only at 42, 354 for “Wings of Quiet Longing,” and that’s alright with me so far. I’m taking my time with it, and I won’t rush the writing process. (Random but interesting fact about me, just because I saw this not too long ago, and this has been added up since 2017, my AO3 account's word count in general is 636,925. That kinda blew my mind.) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 970 — MC POV: Have you ever experienced something that couldn’t be logically explained? Alistair: I myself cannot be logically explained, so the answer to that one is definitely a resounding yes. The supernatural exists, and I’m immortal. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 971 — Where does your SC feel the safest? Is there a particular person or object that helps them feel safe? For Hati, it’s a particular person. Two, in fact. It’s either with Samuel (her husband) or with Alistair (her best friend). She’s easy to pin that way. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest? I think I’ll talk about romantic jealousy here for my post. Alistair does, but he would never say a word about it. He’ll keep it all inside. Fenella does, especially nowadays with Alistair, and it might manifest itself in short answers, easy aggravation, and heavy sighs. You know, the telltale signs of being peeved about something... #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 975 — SC POV: What did you get into trouble for the most when you were young? Hati: Oh, I was always in trouble. I was such a rebellious little thing! I used to sneak out of the house and my mum would scream at me every morning for it! They’re *almost* fond memories now. I miss her, and I always will. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves
