Potty picture from an 1869 edition of the 'Illustrated Police News'. I assumed this was absurd, until I looked it up. Apparently, you can kill people doing this. (Don't ask me where I looked this up, though. Maybe I was hallucinating). #Victorian #crime #weird
#PennedPossibilities 919 — MC POV: When faced with a problem, do you tackle it head on or procrastinate until it needs immediate attention?
Alistair: Not chuckling, I promise. Not me. It depends on what the issue might be. You can see how lenient I’ve been with Duncan. But for the most part, yes, I pride myself on handling issues after they make themselves known. I won’t wait. I don’t procrastinate. With Duncan, however, things seem to be different. I don’t know why. I need him to leave the castle, to move out, and yet…

#WordWeavers 2.1 — Who is your most despicable character and how do you feel about them?
It's Duncan. There is absolutely nothing, and I mean *nothing* at all, redeemable about him. If I could, I'd end his miserable existence myself. He's a murderous vampire. Give me a stake and *I'll* take care of it, just so Fenella and Alistair don't have to worry about it.

February 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?
Working through the sequel, the voice seems OK. There is my authorial voice (the whole books feels like me) and the voices of the different characters.
Pure satisfaction may be found by the reader but I am never utterly satisfied with any writing.

#PennedPossibilities 918 — How would your antagonist react to being mocked or made fun of?
With murderous rage. There will be bloodshed. And that goes for all of the antagonists.

#ScribesAndMakers 1.31 — Share something about your creative work this month.
I can definitely do that. This is a bit of a funny scene in the midst of the chaos.

#PennedPossibilities 917 — Have any of your characters ever broken a bone? More than one? If so, how did it happen?
Alistair broke a bone as a young boy. It was his arm. He doesn’t even remember why or how it happened, though. As for my other characters, I’m sure some of the mortals have. After all, they’re only human. Accidents happen. Jon has a bad knee, although I’ve never gone into serious detail about it.

#PennedPossibilities 916.1 — Bonus Question (Courtesy of @sfwrtr): Your MC wakes up as a wolf (or if a wolf/werewolf, a rabbit/wererabbit), what do they do, how do they react?
This has me laughing, RS. Thanks for chipping in last night!
Alistair would, as I'm sure we're all expecting, scream until his lungs gave out. He's a very old vampire. If he woke up as a werewolf, shit would absolutely hit the fan. Life would be irrevocably changed for him.

#WordWeavers 1.31 — What’s your MC’s relationship with food like?
It's non-existent in the human sense of the word. He's a vampire, and he only drinks blood.

#WordWeavers 1.30 — If there was a party, would your MC be the center of it or hiding in the corner?
There actually *is* a party that takes place during this tale. It's an All Hallow's Eve ball at Alistair's castle. He doesn't *enjoy* being the center of attention but neither will he hide away from it. He'll gracefully take it on, despite how uncomfortable he might be inside.

#WordWeavers 1.28 — If your MC and SC each got 3 wishes from a genie, would any of their wishes cause problems for the other?
Ironically, things would be great. It wouldn't cause any issues. They're best friends.
Lord Alistair MacKay (MMC, a vampire):
1. Peace between immortal beings. (I.e. no matter fighting and bitterness between werewolves and vampires.)
2. Fenella's safety...
3. Duncan and Isma will forever leave them (he, Hati, Samuel, Fenella, and Caden) alone.
Mrs. Hati Kerr (FSC, a werewolf):
1. Again, peace between all immortals.
2. More money for she and Samuel to live on.
3. Happiness for Fenella and Alistair because they've earned and deserve it.
