In Clipped I wanted a convo between Zak and REDACTED where REDACTED mispronounced a word because sometimes he's fallable and needs to be nudged down a few notches. Couldn't fit it anywhere.
What's something you wanted to include in your last book that just didn't make the cut for one reason or another? #WritingPrompt

Coven Thing is now officially 6000+ words. Things are starting to ramp up.
I've officially hit a huge roadblock with Elf Thing and have abandoned it and fully pivoted to Coven Thing, which is now 4400 words.

#SFFChat Q3:
In Clipped, Zak often lost track of time, having no real way to keep it. Sleeps a lot.
In Coven Thing, they keep time as they do in their respective time periods, & also follow the moon phases cuz that's when their magic is the most powerful & gathering the coven to meet is easier.

#SFFChat Q3: How is time kept or measured in your world? If time is the same way as for us, how does magic or technology influence it?

#SFFChat Q2:
If it behooves the environment. i.e. in Clipped, Zak had a lot of walking outdoors, alone, so I liked to play with the day/night cycle, as well as weather. In fact I would guess I don't think so much about the time of day rather than the weather itself. It can still rain at night.

#SFFChat Q2: When you write, do you tend to have a clear picture of the time of day for particularly intense scenes?

In Coven Thing, the coven spans different generations and geographical locations. The four main characters range from living in the 1600s to the 1990s. They can only meet in their covenspace which is outside of time.

#SFFChat Q1: What unique features of day, night, or time exist in your world? OR, how do people in your world think about these concepts (maybe they're sacred, etc)?

I'm Kyew aka KQ Watson, I write horror, sci-fi and fantasy I guess? Usually with a twist of humour.
My favourite time of day is after midnight, when the house is quiet and time is my own. Also I'm a huge believer in Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. Google it.

For Clipped:
Zak: Missionary, between a man & a woman with lights off & the purpose of procreation. It's not his fault, he wasn't taught anything different, but I bet he'd be one heck of a voyeur. ie: "What's a kink?"
(Redacted): Nearly anything, but he's no one's submissive and he always tops.

In the spirit of kink positivity--what kinks do everyone's characters have (if this is something your characters have)?
*Important note: Ace people and characters can and do also have kinks!
