The former curled her nose, finding fault in the wind for being cold, the uncut trail for being long and unknown, and in dust for its mere existence.

#NovemberWorldbuilders- Sare & Fra's violets in my Be Series. Fra gives Sare violets as a thank you. He got them from Henry's mother, which is a big deal. And Sare cherishes them. She wears them in her hair when they dance at a ball. Later he uses them to tell her it's safe to return to the castle.

This week's theme is COLORS! Tell me about something in your world that's PURPLE. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have anything special in your worldbuilding that's purple? Maybe an animal, jewels, a garment, a flower, or something more strange and magical?

Now, she was reminded of the perfume of sun-drenched tomato leaves. The ones she used to run through in her father's garden patch, hands catching the sandpaper edges, toes digging into the soil.
Once upon a time, it was everyday. Now, freedom felt like rare sunlight.

In my Be Series, Henry had been compared to a bumblebee, but a hummingbird or golden retriever puppy works, too. Ari is definitely a lynx. Elsbie has been compared to a feral kitten. A pet name for Fra was little bird. I'm not really sure what Sare would be.

If you were to choose an animal to represent your character what animal would it be and why?

Real, mythological, or something unique to your setting?

If your character is already an animal, tell me about that!

Theoretically, if I continue to draw character artwork, I'll actually figure out how to freaking draw people... Or at least get better at it, like figure out proper proportions! 🤦‍♀️ Eh, it is what it is!

New character art & a snippet!!!

Digital artwork illustration of Art and Robyn from A Dance of Bow & Blade. Robyn (red hair in a ponytail, wearing a green cloak, light green shirt, and leather vest) is distressed, head lowered. Art (black hair in a bun, wearing pauldrons, vambraces, and a chest plate over a purple shirt), is comforting her by caressing her cheek.

Words above them read: Art's fist left the hilt at her side. She dropped her gauntlets and gloves to their feet, reached out a gentle hand, and caressed her thief's cheek.
Robyn welcomed the comfort. The touch itself, a sweet delight, sparked more than just hope.
“There's still green and dragonflies,” Art told her, coaxing the start of a small, returning smile.

Words to the left of them read: A Dance of Bow & Blade, Ellie Lieberman

200 Years, I'd say about 2. My Uncanny Encounters Series tends to focus on Gretchen chasing down a particular story, but I'd also consider the characters of that particular folklore central, as well.

200 Years, technically 3, if a potential twist sticks when I finish writing it, but readers shouldn't necessarily realize that when they first start reading it.

When Morning Comes has a bigger central cast, mostly because it's characters from the 1st 3 books coming together. I'd say about 7-9 central characters give or take (at least, so far).

There's a lot of multiple locations & coming back together, at least so far.

How many core characters does your story have?

How many of your cast would you consider central to the story, not side characters?

Are they usually together or does the story have multiple locations at once?

This comes up in my Be Series, namely book 1. Henry is a runaway prince &, though he would have been more than happy to run away from royal life in general, he winds up fleeing the castle for his life & the circumstances around doing so are less than ideal (that's a bit of an understatement)!

In A Dance of Bow & Blade, it's Robyn's cloak, & tied to the greenwood, but especially as the outlaws & knights encounter more of the wasteland, it becomes a symbol of hope, with Robyn & Art reminding each other, "There's still green & dragonflies somewhere, at least."

Hey there, #NovemberWorldbuilders!
It's COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's green. This one is probably more common, since green is so strongly associated with nature. Do you have any cool greenery in your world? Or maybe you've used it for an object? Tell me about it!

Those blissful moments when first reunited were nice while they lasted. But havens in a place like the castle were always fleeting and fragile. Threats still lurked in the shadows of hope.

#FantasyIndiesNovember- According to my mother, I learned to write so I could write my stories. I remember that I would take my sketchbooks, draw something, & then write a story about what I drew. I was always writing.
