From writing ask game #1: 2 (it's a really interesting question, so for both projects? :D), 6, 14, 15 (same as 2 but feel free to pick just one of course), 19!
2. Pick one sight, smell, sound, feel, and taste to describe the aesthetic of your novel.
Sound: Heartbeat in your ears.
Sight: Light through water.
(Now I have to go make these aesthetics, dammit.)
6. Are there any former titles youâve considered but discarded?
Pearl was originally The Pearlâs Refrain. I changed it because I liked the cover design better with only the one word, and because I was just calling it Pearl most of the time anyways.
The Warlordâs Contract has never had another name, but it will probably get a new one once it goes into publishing.
14. Which characterâs name do you like the most?
I adore Kleosâ name. My precious Kleopatros. I also really like Simone and Dejeanâs names quite a lot. Â
15. Describe each characterâs daily outfit.
Picking the love interests;
Kleos: Is entirely too fashionable. They where a lot of greens and browns with gold embroidery. High boots, with heels. Cloaks with over-sized hoods. Sweeping fabric over skin tight clothing. Gloves, often with the thumb and first finger uncovered.Â
They are always covered from neck to toe, with only their face and a few fingers showing.
Dejean: Is a mess. He wears a lot of highly detailed coats and vests, with loose pants and boots and clothe belts. Canât get the colors right without Simoneâs help. Has tried to wear hats but they fall off because his hair is a cloud and heâs determined to climb everything always.Â
At home, he just wears pants. No shoes, no shirt, no worries.
19. Which character most fits a character trope? which trope?
Oh man, probably most of them. Iâm not big on the âofficialâ character tropes because my memory is the size of a peanut so their labels always slip my mine, but Vasha is definitely that âheir who doesnât want the crownâ trope. Kleos is a Glorious Bastard in the beginning. Ilyaâs basically your typical YA protagonist, except seen by a more reasonable protagonist who realized heâs an idiot.Â
