Part 10 of May and #WordWeavers meme regarding Blorbo From My WIP [Image from @AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop ]What are the beauty standards like in your world and do they impact any of your characters?Beauty standards: Tall, slimmer, generally fit or at least seeming to be fit. Delia: Short, stout, and well-padded. So She has an inferiority complex about herself. Fortunately, Kosh is into her particular body type.

Part 8 of May and #WordWeavers meme regarding Blorbo From My WIP [Image from @AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop ]MC POV: Describe your neighborhood.Book One Kosh: It's a busy warren of streets with owner's apartments above the businesses they run. The crew and I run a decent enough tavern when we're not adventuring. Our immediate neighbors are chandlers, artificers, and a florist. With a tea shop across the larger thoroughfare. There's a herbalist down the street and a butcher's downhill that doesn't charge us extra when I go to pick up the orders. That sort of attitude always gets a tip from me.

#WordWeavers 5/6 What writerly challenge have you encountered recently? In a sense, my ego. "I've got some free time now. Sure I can start two more projects while finishing up the last three!" 5 hours and 4 shots later... Total word count: 622 "This is crap. I'm crap. My writing is crap. Crap, crap, crap!!"

Part 5 of May and #WordWeavers meme regarding Blorbo From My WIP [Image from @AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop ]Is your MC aware of their flaw?He knows about the soft spot for kids and the trust issues. He frequently trips himself on the social rules and feels the chip is justified.

Part 4 of May and #WordWeavers meme regarding Blorbo From My WIP [Image from @AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop ]What’s your MC’s critical flaw?Oh, he has a few…

  • Soft spot for children roughly the size of soviet-era Russia
  • Operates according to different rules depending on the social situation and forgets that he should keep the other rules in mind
  • Has forgotten how to trust
  • A chip on his shoulder bigger than the combined potato fields of Earth

Part 3 of May and #WordWeavers meme regarding Blorbo From My WIP [Image from @AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop ]Tell us one thing you love about your story.I adore covering the little aspects of worldbuilding that make Alfarell come to life. I love the opportunity to nestle puns into the narrative. I love putting in references to everything I love in there. 🎶 I love the whole work, and all its crazyness ...boom de yadda, boom de yadda, boom de yadda, boom de yadda...

#WordWeavers April 30. What unhealthy beliefs are held by your MC? There's a tension between her belief that she is special, can save her people and loved ones, and is a good person, with her beliefs in almost the exact opposite. And anytime she thinks about it one way, the reverse comes to mind. All of it is unhealthy.

#WordWeavers 4/25 Is there any political or moral value that your MC and antagonist agree on? On the surface, probably lots. Matholwch would agree with Taliesin that kings and rulers are beholden to their people, that history and the arts are lifelines of a culture, that compassion for others is the hallmark of a worthy ruler. The problem is that Matholwch will forget his 'principles' the moment it's convenient for him. He seems to have no issue throwing his people into a catastrophic war for pride's sake, and evidently his 'compassion' for his wife only applies when she's not speaking up for herself and her native Wales. To be fair, Taliesin isn't a saint when it comes to his principles either and he's been known to use deceit and trickery when there's no other option.

#WordWeavers April 25. Is there any political or moral value that your MC and antagonist agree on? They'd probably agree on a few things even if they'd never admit it. Both want to help their people from those seeking their destruction. They just go about it in very different ways.

#WordWeavers 24. Do your characters have any “tells” when they are lying? My character's so seldom lie that I barely think about that. Oddly, I can't recall Lydia -ever- resorting to our right lying. She simply doesn't put out all the facts and generally lets people think whatever they want to without feeling the need to correct them.

#WordWeavers 16/4: If your MC lived in our world, would they have good financial credit? I'm writing abt my alt self rn, so that's not easy to answer. Alt me was born here, in "earth realm," but she's been long enough to be declared dead. So if she cane back, she'd have no credit, no identity, and no way to correct that easily. Ofc, she has access to gold coins and other things she could trade for money so in that way, she'd have good financial stability without credit.

#WordWeavers April 15. Is your antagonist more optimistic or pessimistic? Why? Pretty pessimistic. That's what being trapped in another world for a time will do to you though.

#WordWeavers Feb 21. What part of editing is the hardest for you? When I run up against a sentence or phrase that I struggled with when drafting and I STILL can't figure out how to make it better.

#WordWeavers April 13: Does your MC have a particular scent they love or hate due to their past? Alana keeps lilacs in their room and uses their scent distilled as a perfume. It reminds them of loss, of grief, of why they keep fighting. And, occasionally, it reminds them of love.

Your opinion on April Fools Day & do you incorporate the day into your work? April Fools Day should be celebrated as the International Day of Fact Checking. I don’t have the opportunity to incorporate it in Esther and Érié. [EDIT: it appears that 2 April is International Fact-Checking Day 🙌] #wordweavers 2026-04-01
