🩹 She's a part-time medic, full-time sneak
🗡️ bound to a sentient necroblade.
🐺 He's supposed to keep magic on the far side of the Boundary,
🖤 but being a conduit for her mana is addictive.
⚔️ He needs her for revenge.
💔 She just wants to be free.
💀 Blood or soul, the blade will feed.

Am I supposed to be doing, like, 3 edits on my spec feature? Yes. But did I start a new novel in order to avoid doing those 3 edits? Also yes.

I used to post a lot about being a Script Coordinator on Twitter. I don’t know where those people are here. But showrunners: give your Script Coordinators freelance eps! Reading every version of every script makes us some of the best writers I know. #scriptcoordinator #tvwriting #showrunners

Answering for the same character, he's very coordinated as an athlete who started out in gymnastics very little, moved to swimming and diving. (That helps more than a little bit when he's fighting off monsters/threats.)

In 🕷️💋 WIP, Aranea is a very good liar, even to herself.
She wishes she could just touch anyone without hurting them 😢
Aranea uses her main skill (lying) to fake a romance with a handsome thief she needs to help her get out of an arranged engagement…until the feelings become real ❤️

Perry's role model is his deceased father, who was a very compassionate and openly loving person. Perry definitely tries to live in that way of being.
Haven doesn't have a role model. He grew up isolated. Living up to his parents' sacrifices is more of a shadow over him.

Hey #BluePitHype!
Meet Rivine, my demon-touched bard main character.
Her role model is her dad. He went missing, presumed dead, 10 years ago, and her world fell apart.
But he taught her kindness, empathy, & steadfastness. To face her fears & stand up to danger. To wield & kill with a rapier.

Arie’s role model is her father- the assassinated King Gregor. She admired his ability to be fair & just. Riddled with self-doubt, she doesn’t see too much of that in herself.
Leese’s role model is herself in 5 years. She’s always looking forward and inside.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
