Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

#NovemberWorldbuilders 19 - Demon King Daughter - Water Economy - same as IRL, so especially relevant to Japan, the main setting. Demon Slayers do occasionally have to help fishers deal with water-focused demons.

Imo, it's primarily two factors: ruthlessness and willingness to kill. Even in service to something objectively good that darkens things to the gray.
Honest question: what makes a character morally gray? Having character flaws? Being amoral or self-serving? Is there an assumed ethical framework when listing the trope? Presumably most people irl are morally gray rather than “black” or “white” so why is grayness considered noteworthy?

Blown away by this review of "Flowers from the Black Sea" that appeared on Amazon yesterday:
"A joy to devour. A great read. The author is as significant as Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and Graham Greene in bringing the vivid, often brutal, setting of Turkey alive almost as an additional character...."

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - I had so much more fun writing this than I should have. Himari is so sincere, and is just clearing up an assumption before she makes a mistake.

#Lovember #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
Closest I have to this prompt is the age-gap drama for Taegen and Selene in NICEF. The various aspects of how problematic it is, and how their genuine care/love balances with those concerns, is taken seriously through several critical scenes.
Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Do you (or your characters, if you don't see yourself as making assertions) say something offbeat, unusual, or even controversial about love in your story?

Should I ask this one? 😅

#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Masuyo and Issei in DKD are good parents, so that might work for day-to-day stuff. Abby in Cry Wolf is very down to earth, so similar advice. Maybe Djilia if I had to pick ONE person from NICEF.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Which of your characters would you turn to for advice?

Does it matter what the advice was on? Relationships? Money? Career? Other?

Is there anyone who's advice you would always do the exact opposite of?

Do you like BIG HECKIN CHONK books!? #NICEF is a BRICK if you get the print version! Sci-fi space opera with mechs, inspired by all the anime classics! Especially good for fans of Gundam Witch from Mercury!

18. Project - Aby genuinely enjoys blacksmithing work. Someone comes into the smithy she's using looking to cause trouble, and she gives them a /look/. They think better of it...

#NovemberWorldbuilders 18 - Demon King Daughter - Kyoka and Water - Kyoka can use water magic, if she wishes. Otherwise, there is a critical scene involving her washing her face while her traumas stack up in her mind.

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - subbed 'backward' - Another example of Himari sticking up for Kyoka, especially toward her parents. She has to do that a lot, and I really admire her courage for it.

#monsters #writingcommunity Several for Demon King Daughter! Book 1: Ogres (large, gorilla-like, with scales, and wolfish heads) and Fiend Bats (give a bat a humanoid, tiny body, spindly limbs, long claws, and venom) are probably the most prevalent shown! They're low-grade demons, but still threats!
Did you invent a monster in your books? Tell me what they look like and do!

#WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt Uu, cute one!
NICEF, Taegen-literally her immediate task list. Get up, wash, change, etc.
DKD, Kyoka-magical sense to confirm her home/family are safe.
CW, Rieka-how her environment smells, if there are threats nearby.
Monday #WritingQ!

Good Morning!

What is typically the first though (or three) that flits across your character's mind when they wake up on an avg day?

And if they aren't morning people, what's the first thing they ruminate over once the coffee kicks in?

NICEF, Taegen-yes, quite a bit. She starts cold-hearted and murderous, but clever. Aroi House heals that.
DKD, Kyoka-she matures. She always loves, but she respects more.
CW, Rieka-within love, she learns to trust more, and accept help.
Today's #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity, maybe related to an earlier one:

Does/do your character/s grow in their ability to love in the course of the story, and if so in what ways?
November 18, 2025 at 2:30 AM
#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
NICEF, most of Aroi House stands against Taegen's methods.
DKD, Himari pushes back on Kyoka's habit of ignoring consequences with magic.
CW, Abby pushes back on everyone's nonsense. Pretty sure she'll be the fan-fav character XD
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Let's do another side character day! Do you have any characters who disagree with your protagonist?

What do they disagree about?

Does your side character have a point or are they being foolish? A bit of both?

17. Prayer - Abyliahct rarely prays. She doesn't really believe in gods that way anymore. She's had to 'kill' too many of them. ...But when Y'shtola was yanked away to the First, she prayed long and hard at her bedside.

#WritingPrompt #charactermotivation
Taegen's is her obsession with her revenge. It warps her at the foundation.
Kyoka's is unconscious arrogance. She has the memories of a 10k year old demigod.
Rieka's is self hatred/doubt. Trapped between deserving her exile and knowing she did the right thing.
What's the biggest flaw in your main character? #WritingPrompt

#NovemberWorldbuilders 17 - Demon King Daughter - Water Creature - this portion of the prompts for the month has really pointed out to me how little water is involved in this story XD Just the Rusalka from the last prompt, really.

No, no, he was fighting writer's block. Hence the 'kill them all' repeated on fifteen reams of paper.

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Another moment between Issei and Seina (father/daughter). I enjoyed blending totally normal slice-of-life moments with fantasy world-building like this.

Unused design iteration for a project. It ended up a bit different final version, but I kinda like this shoulder shape.
