#WordWeavers 12.6 — What kind of food does your antagonist prefer?

The kind that runs or begs for mercy. You could call it "fast food," if you like.

(For context, he's a vampire. In fact, both of the antagonists are.)

#WordWeavers Dec 7 What bad habits does your MC have?

She blurts out what she *really* thinks of how adults treat her and her fellow youths. It gets her into trouble.

#WordWeavers 4/12: 1hat’s the worst thing about the world of your story?

The 14th century? Plenty to choose from: plague, political and ecclesiastical corruption, lethal antisemitism, wars, the Inquisition. You wouldn't have liked it.

#WordWeavers Dec 1 - In an alternative universe, you are the opposite of who you are. What's your story like there?

"Hello, my name is J. K. Rowling—"

#WordWeavers 30, When writing, do you consider your topics to avoid book banning or fallout of any sort?

When a topic is controversial in any way, I write with more diligent care. Not to avoid any banning or fallout, but to explore, question, or outright counter and protest.

Which is why my work is now, and shall likely forever be, WOKE AF and PROUD

#WordWeavers Dec 3. What’s the best thing about the world of your story?

Honestly, the world of The Price of Survival is a pretty dark place, and it's hard for me to think of anything particularly 'good' in it.

But inspite of the horrible situations they face, the characters try to work together and take care of each other, and that's a damn good thing in any world.

#WordWeavers November 30: While writing, do you consider your topics to avoid book bannings or fallout of any sort?

Writing erotica and erotic romance, I'm generally not getting shelved in libraries in general. It doesn't particularly matter that what I tend to write about is a lot less troubling than, say, George R.R. Martin or E.L. James. When you're indie, you have a lot less flexibility and protection. There are things that are pretty vanilla that I'm more likely to get in trouble with Amazon for because a lot of what I'm writing is queer and they discriminate against queer content.

I also have to assume that as fascism increases in my country, I'm more and more likely to experience direct outcomes relating to the mere fact of writing adult fiction.

In short, for me, my books are essentially pre-banned as it is. For fallout, if I'm doing something that harms other marginalized people, I want to know about it and not do it. The mere fact that people enjoy adult fiction is something that some will find harmful. They're wrong.

#WordWeavers Nov 30. When writing, do you consider your topics to avoid book banning or fallout of any sort?

Nope.

I regularly have books banned from major book sellers and it's always annoying as fuck, but I'm not going to let that stop me.

#WordWeavers Nov 29. When writing gets hard, what keeps you going?

The stories. I've never been able to stop writing and telling stories, even when I've actively tried.

At most, I take a break from writing anything with a deadline, but even then I still work on fanfic or something just for me.

#WordWeavers Nov 28. Your MC gets a free bag of candy corn. How do they react?

Elisabeti is curious and confused. What are these? Why is someone giving them to her? They're food? How unusual. They taste... unlike anything she's ever eaten. Overwhelmingly sweet. And cloying. She isn't sure what to think...

(I happen to like candy corn, but Elisabeti has only had any kind of candy a few times in her life.)

Does your current MC share any traits with you?

I share traits with all of my MCs. i would go so far as to say I don't believe it's possible to write a well rounded character you don't share some traits with. Some of you will always leak through.

When it comes to Elisabeti, I'd say the trait we share most is a tendency toward self sacrifice for others that ends with us getting hurt.

#WordWeavers 27 Nov
When it comes to your writing, what are you thankful for?

That my Mum taught me to read.

Beyond that, that my life is mostly comfortable and safe and not a living hell that would make writing impossible, and that I have people to leave my thoughts to, without which it'd be irrelevant.
