“What do you mean, they’ll only last a single season?” “You wanted clones of Michael Jordan and you wanted them now. That means we had to accelerate their growth. That doesn’t slow down now that you’re playing them on the team!” “Fine. Get me more for next season, then.”

I personally find it the sign of a good writer that they allow their characters to disagree with them. I believe in you!

#WeeknightWriters Q6 I released a book this week! The Witch of the Wood is a cozy horror MM romance novella! The perfect way to kick off your spooky season! Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of... Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Cover by @isthiseva.bsky.social
The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

I think I might have a partial form of that; I don't need descriptions. I often seem to see motion, not objects or people...

Jevin is a transmasc fluteblade assassin, choosing his jobs from an assassination crowdfunding app. He's super competent and driven by a love of music. First season he learned he still has dysphoria, and decided to finally get top surgery. Season two leads up to the surgery. #WeeknightWriters

It's probably a good thing that a good chunk of my books are middle grade so it's not as important to write flirting!

I'm sure they finished school in one semester. It's not hard, right?

Joanna Masters 🏳️‍⚧️ @joannamasters.bsky.social · 20h
I hear that. I've used name generators before. One thing I've done that helps immensely for me--no primary or secondary characters share the same starting letter/sound. For me it really helps keep names straight.

Joanna Masters 🏳️‍⚧️ @joannamasters.bsky.social · 20h
My editors point this out to me all the time. I usually force myself to have one or two physical descriptions and that's it!

Joanna Masters 🏳️‍⚧️ @joannamasters.bsky.social · 20h
If a character is supposed to be very smart and strategic, I have to be smart and strategic. And look, some things are difficult to fake! Also, flirting. If characters are supposed to flirt it, um, ends up being more awkward than anything! #WeeknightWriters

I love research, too! I had to research a lot about playing flute for mine. Are you normally interested in baseball, or was it difficult to research a sport for you?
