Day 18 of #Writevember. I have no idea how many words I've written, but I'm probably not getting 30,00 by the end of the month. On the bright side I'm still writing the manuscript, little by little.

I write for myself, but try to keep a balance between the stories that I find enjoyable to tell and the stories I wish I'd read when I was younger.

This looks fun and it might help me polish up my manuscript, Little Bird.

Red is the colour of blood and fire. Of vengeance and violence. Of twisted justice and old feuds. For Sibyl, red is the colour left behind by death. It's the colour of grief. #NovermberWorldbuilders

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