Day 20 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions. You can answer in the comments or quote. I can't wait to see all of your answers. Make sure to # us so we & everyone else can see them and have fun with it. 🥰📇✍️. Food4Thought: Why is this deserved? Is it deserved? (You don't have to post)

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.Of Magic and Grief.Miguel is the first elemental mage to go to his school, so he's the only student with orange plaid pants who also has an opía, or spirit guardian, hanging around him. He stands out pretty easily because of his school uniform 😆

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.Of Magic and Grief takes place mostly in a magical school hidden behind an illusion within New York City. To remove the illusion, just touch a glyph carved onto a nearby wall.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.This music video inspired me to write Of Magic and Grief 😁.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.Well, Miguel loves in the supernatural, so, none of them lol 🤣.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.In fae and human romances, I noticed the FMC is rarely the fae one, so Project Butterfly is a story where the FMC is fae and the MMC is human 😊.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.In Of Magic and Grief, I have a few, but I'm going to give it to Miguel and his maddy sitting out in the freezing balcony, watching the fireworks go off as the new year is rung, without his mother, their wife. It's sad, yeah, but I liked writing it 😊.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.Of Magic and Grief.“If you want to go to this school, it’s fine, I won’t stop you, but I need to know it’s you calling, not some number I don’t recognize.”.

No love interest in Recurrence, but here's a cast I'd be thrilled to see: . Dana (MC) = Naomi Harris .Peter Creight (Ship's XO) = Timothy Olyphant .Dr. Forrester (Villain) = Giancarlo Esposito .Major Whittaker = Robert John Burke . #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions

MC has a specific goal: viewing a Total Solar Eclipse and sharing it with people important to him. More broadly, fulfilling personal responsibilities. Villain specifics are spoiler but generally: personal control, insensitive to MC priorities. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

I have threads of character intros and don't think anyone has read them. So please read about some of my characters, starting with Mella for adults and Charlie for the students! (Links below) #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

There is a character arc for the MC, but it is less about redemption in terms of "worthiness" (though the MC might think in those terms), more about carrying forward while bearing the traumas of one's past. Day 20 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

This WIP's plot is built around road travel, using actual geography and places though many important locations are fictional. This (public website) photo shows an area where some of the action happens, and an idea why MC is drawn to it. Day 21 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.After losing Mami, Miguel would not want to lose anyone dear to him ever again, even if it means putting himself in harm's way to do it.

MC is intelligent, pleasant but has an obsessive, almost neurotic personality. Usually found with a ticking timepiece and often 'ticking' himself, in little tongue clicks, under-breath note progressions, and finger taps. Day 17 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.For Of Magic and Grief, trying to fit the story throughout an entire school year. I wanted to make sure I could fit something happening in a major holiday without making readers wonder where the antagonist was the whole time lol.

Several moments I like, but I'll mention:. An early moment MC made a major life choice, and stopped holding back for what others might think. (More dramatic than my experience IRL, but still struck some personal chords.). Day 14 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

I'm between two Uncle Iroh quotes. "If you look for the light you will often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you'll ever see."."Some times the best way to solve your own problems, is to help with somebody else's." #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." .(Popular version of Chinese Proverb attributed to Laozi, or his contemporary Confucius). My adaptation, regarding this WIP:. "The journey of a lifetime proceeds a second at a time.". Day 15 of #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions.
