@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#WordWeavers 23 July: Your MC is lost in a busy city, and GPS isnβt an option. How do they handle the situation?
My MCs usually live in ancient Greece, so they would stop and ask someone. If they are a god, calling for Hermes is also an option.
@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#WordWeavers 10 June: How many POV characters does your story have? Is that your preferred approach in general?
Usually 5 (or 4 - 6 really) depending on what I need.
At least I avoid switching POV mid-scene, head-hopping can be used as a tool if you're skilled enough, but I don't think I am.
@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#WordWeavers 9 June: MC POV: Whose advice do you value the most?
MC: There are some people I listen to, whose advice I consider. But one of the few that can make me go along with a course of action despite my misgivings, is my brother. But don't you dare tell him that, he'll never let me hear the end of it. I trust him with my life, but sometimes he's insufferable.
@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#WordWeavers 6 June: What object would you use to represent the sensory feel of your story?
I don't know ... A star. Only visible when it's really dark.
@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#WordWeavers 5/6: What would your first chapter smell like?
I quote chapter 1, page 1, 3 paragraph:
" It felt like the smells of the city clung to him β all rotten and filthy β and they were so thick it felt like they were coating his tongue. This spring was unusually hot, making the smells even more rancid."
He just ran past a sewer π
@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#WordWeavers 4th June: Describe the mood of the opening paragraph of your story using three adjectives.
Fast-paced
Ominous
Amusing
I think. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks it's amusing, my humour is dark. π
