#WordWeavers Oct 29: Which character can take care of your pet for a week? Which would be banned from coming anywhere near it?
Prefrontal Cortex would have feeding schedules, medication records, emergency contacts and a spreadsheet documenting just how many minutes each cat prefers to be scratched behind the ears.
Ventral Striatum would have purchased seventeen new toys and introduce…

#WordWeavers 28. Your antagonist and MC are forced to work together toward the same goal. What could drive them together?
That is assuming the antagonist is a someone.
My story doesn't have a 'villain' as such, it's set inside the brain and the characters don't really need someone to throw a spanner into the works for things to go sideways frequently.

#WordWeavers 27. What location in your story would you most like to visit? What location would you absolutely avoid?
The Library! I would love to see it for myself.
I wouldn't go down in the basement even if you paid me all the money in the world.

#WordWeavers 23 Oct: What rule – legal, cultural, magical, social, or otherwise – does your MC regularly break?
Prefrontal Cortex doesn't break rules. They make them, enforce them, and occasionally amend them when reality has the audacity not to comply.
Any apparent rule-breaking is, naturally, an authorised procedural exception.

#WordWeavers Oct. 15: What piece of backstory did you invent just for yourself that readers may never learn?
My WIP is based, as far as possible, on psychology and science so that's more a selection process than an invention so all I did was read about the brain and the development. I am not sure if that qualifies as backstory, though?

#WordWeavers Oct 14: If your MC could ask their future self one question, what would they ask?
Prefrontal Cortex watches their reflection in the mirror with unblinking concentration. 'One question only,' they say. 'Just one.'
The silence grows in the room until they put down the teacup, and look away from the strange mirror.
'From where you stand and to the be…

#WordWeavers 13/10: What is something your MC would risk their life to protect but would struggle to explain why?
Protocol. Prefrontal Cortex won't be able to explain why it's so important, but they will go to great lengths to protect it.
You'd be amazed at what lengths the brain will go to protect itself and the meatwagon that carries it.

#WordWeavers 11 Oct: Share a passage from your WIP where the setting is doing as much storytelling as the characters.
This is a passage from 'Management Apologises for the Inconvenience':

#WordWeavers 10/10: What is one thing your antagonist genuinely admires about your MC?
The question assumes there is an antagonist that can admire anything, when in reality an antagonist can be anything that works against the protagonist's main objective.
If the MC wants to sunbathe, the thunderstorm will be the antagonist.
In the Mansion, the characters themselves are of…
